Here we find IA tremendous and IT.
reconcilable contradiction between
the words and the deeds of the for
tner majority. 1t has long been es-
lltahliDhed that judgment of political
parties and groups must be based
not upon their words, their declara-
lions, their promises, their resolu-
tions and their programs, but upon
their deeds, upon their practical ac-
tivities. The resolution of Cannon
was accepted (for the c. H. but as
candidates for the politbureau there
was selected Comrades Foster and
Bittelman who took position against
the G. l., against the decision of the
Comintern. In words therefore, they
were for the G. l., in action against
it, in words for Cannon, in deeds for
Foster and Bittelman.
The last membership meeting Of
the New York party organization
where Comrades lack, Krumbein and
Aronberg made open declarations
against the C. /. declaration, and de-
clared themselves openly against CO.
operation with the Ruthenberg group,
has clearly proven that part Of the
former majority have begun to travel
a road that does not lead toward the
Comintern, but in an entirely differ
ent direction. A number of facts from
party life after the party convention
prove that the contradictions within
the former majority which has never
been a homogeneous group are sharp
ening. From the one side the social
democrat and Loreist elements begin
to raise their heads and openly OPP
pose reorganization. On the other
hand, part Of the former majority is
fully aware Of the impossibility Of fol-
lowing the road selected by Comrades
Foster and Bittelman, the road which
does not lead toward the Comintern.
This part Of the former majority is
beginning to desert its leaders and
to approach the Ruthenberg group.
COMRADES FOSTER, Bittelman,
- Krumbein, Aronberg and lack de-
clared that they are for the Comm
tern, while in fact they are following
a political policy against the Comm
tern. Such system of double ac-
counting, where one account bellies
the other, cannot be continued for
any length of time Already the una
nimous acceptance Of the political re-
solutions in the Parity Commission
was somewhat suspicious. This una
nimity smelled very much like double
accounting. The deeds differing from
words. The acceptance of the Cannon
resolution and the election Of Foster
and Bittelman into the politbureau
has clearly brot to life this double
accounting. 1t became clear then
that parity policy in the c. e. c.
was impossible. One cannot give
equal rights to that group which is
for the Comintern and that group
which carries on a policy against the
Comintern. 1t Is necessary to pre-
serve the leading role in the party
for that group which stands for the
Comintern not only in words, but also
in deeds and which was characteriz-
ed by the Comintern as being nearer

on the other. It will mean intensi-
flying our work, bringing into unions
the membership and then fighting to
win the majority of the working class
for Communism. The Central Execu-
tive Committee was pledged to lend
all it's energy and resources to this
work. We should help 10 develop a
special organ for the lefk wing move
ment in the unions The Central
Executive Committee has organized a
special trade nnion department, would
resume and intensity work among the
farming masses, and was working on
a campaign against imperialism con-
certified on an active organizational
basis.
Reorganization was a fundamental
political problem, not merely an or
ganizational one. If the road to the
revolution was paved with picnic tick
cts we would have walkover, consid-
ering the present activity of many
party branches. Lovestone put the
question bluntly to the meeting: were
we proud of the order of business at
our meetings, were we. satisfied to be
merely a walking agency" collecting
money all the time and little else?
The fault was to a great extent in the
basically wrong form of organization
of our party social-democratic leg
acy, which specialized in parliament
airy campaigns and was organized to
promote class peace, not to destroy
capitalism. Our party must be based
on the working class, organized where
they are found, in the mines, mills,
factories and shops. The plans issued
by the Central Executive Committee
would soon turn the pious wish
which reorganization had been for SO
long into an actually. The branch,
section and city membership meet
ings, the mobilization of the press,
the assembling Of all our resources to
educate the party to the immediate
necessity Of reorganization - this
would soon uproot the territorial and
federation basis Of the party, basis
which Piatnitzky had called federal
ed chaos" and which had made us in
this respect one of the most backward
sections of the Communist Interna-
tional. Our II small parties" with
their inevitable factionalism and pin
prick politics would give place to a
party so organized that of 1t every
factory would be Communist fort

tspseIaI 70 The Daily worksrl


NEW YORK CITY, Oct. PAT the
New York City membership meeting
held at Manhattan Lyceum on Sept.
rs, the Central Executive Committee
resolution was adopted by vote of
1888 for, 8 against, and 127 abstaining
from voting. The meeting was called
as the first step in the local cam
paign to Bolshevize and reorganize
the party on the shop nucleus basis.
Comrade Lovestone opened the
meeting with a speech on the i'm
mediate problems confronting the
party in the work of reorganization.
He reviewed the convention and Com
munist International decision, discuss
ed the menace of Loreism and then
went into detail on the meaning and
process of reorganization. Comrades
asking questions from the floor and dis
cussion followed, and then the resolu
ton was put, with the result given
above.
In his speech, Comrade Lovestone
declared that with the Communist
International decision and the conven.
ton, the party had really begun in
earnest the work of Bolshevizing the
party. Askeli's removal and Lores
expulsion, both of which were politi-
cal, not personal acts, were the signal
of the newt tendency. Lore had been
given the chance to appear in Moscow
before tn. Executive COMMITTEES Of
the CommUn st Internal: mai 10 defend
and redesH! himself, but had refused
end upon his expulsion showed how
much of a Communist re was by i'm
mediately attacking the Communist
International, attempting to discredit
and undermine it. The party had now
cutgro%Fn the time wpAn such oppor-
tunism was permissible. The theory
of mass spontaneity, a "senile dis
ease" Is Stain had called it, had also
been struck severe blow.
Lores argument that the Commun-
list international was basing its decis-
ions on wrong information, a typical
opportunist claim, which was used as
an excuse for evasion, defeatism and
sabotage Of Communist international
decisions, had also been smashed.
Els attempt in the Volkszeitung to
use the removal from power in the
German Communist Party Of Fischer
and Maslov as capital for his case
was also typical of an opportunist.
That removal was along the same line
as the decision on the American ques-
tion-a blow at right deviations
cloaked in ultra-left phrases. The
pessimism of the comrades led by
these two was the result of an un.
awareness OF new developments in the
working class ranks, as well as OF a
lack of confidence in the party. an ac-
ceptance of the decisions of the Inter
national Communist Party in words,
while sabotaging them in practice.
Bolshevization, Loyestone defined as
the application of the lessons and ex-
periences of the Russian Communist
Party and the Russian revolution on
concrete basis to the objective con-
ditions In the United States. 1t will
mean lessening the gap between the
rank and file Of the party and
the center on the one hand, and less.
ening the gap between the party and
the masses OF the proletarist,

ing that he did not see what caused It
to be made. He related facts which
led him to feel that the decision was
unexpected and unwarranted. He
called upon all comrades to accept
the decision and carry 1t out. Com
rade Foster then spoke on Bolshevizar
ton and reorganization. He showed
that reorganization had been the prin-
cipal item before the last enlarged
Executive Committee of the Commun-
list International meeting, and that
now the task before us was-work to
carry these decisions out. He also
stressed the federation as the breed
ing ground OF factionalism and sectar-
ianism, Of isolation from the masses,
of decentralization. A reorganized
party would not only be able to root
it's influence in the masses but would
also feel the pulse of the masses at all
moments. 1t would be center for
organizing the unorganized, and would
plant the party Immediately in the
very heart Of the class struggle. II
New York we're reorganized now, the
needle trades unions would be ours
almost at once.
Lack of English, tho it was a bar
rier, Foster pointed out, would be
overcome by the language clubs that
would supplant the declarations. At
this time, with most of our members
so long in the United States it was a
disgrace for them not to understand
English. They had better hurry up
and learn it if they wish to become a
factor in the American class struggle,
and the best place to learn would be
in the shop nucleus. The clubs would
have fractions in them, fractions
which would be connected up in ma
tional organizations that would sup
port the language press. Inertia was
big difficulty in the way of reorgan-
ization, and an theological campaign
must be waged that would destroy it..
A great many questions were then
party and discussion followed. Com
rades lack, Aronberg and Krumbein
discussed the Communist International
decision and the resolution introduc-
ed by the Central Executive Commit
tee representative. lack and Aron-
berg declared their opposition to the
Communist International decision
and attacked the resolution of the
Central Executive Committee. Com
rade Krumbein alleged that the de-
cision of the Central Executive Com
mittee in the selection of the person
mel Of the subcommittee in New
York district was factional and de-
clared that he would abstain from
voting.
Comrades Gitlow, Wolfe, Stachel
and Weinstone spoke in favor of the
Central Executive Committee resolu-
ton and the Communist International
decision. They pointed out that the
remarks of lack, Krumpein and
Aronberg were violations Of the
spirit of the Communist International
decision and were raising fractional
ism at time when the party should
get down to work on reorganization
and bolshevization. They particular
ly scored the remarks of those COM
rades as they were members of the
Central Executive Committee and
District Executive Committee.
Comrade Lovestone then summed
up for the Central Executive Commit
tee, replying to the arguments and
the resolution was put to a. vote and
carried by an overwhelming major
