congress did far more harm than
good to the European 60 parties.
Certainly this applies to the Ger
man c. p.
"At the Third World Congress a
general attack was made on the
left, and which was carried to a ri
diculous point: Comrade Trotzky

GREETED that Comrade Lenin made
the same mistake. 1t is the sole
error known to me % in Lenin's
dealings with the party. Thus to
fail to recognize the character of a
party like the German C. p. with its
powerful social democratic tradi-
tions, especially under rightly re-
cognized objective conditions which
afforded no opportunity for left ex-

es. these, however, being again con-
nected with one another. First, a
concealed trend of feeling, deep
down among the masses of the
members, towards liquidation,
which says: We have won no vic
tory, why should we trouble our
selves to build up a Communist
Party? We can just as well carry
on class warfare among the social
democrats AS an example and proof
of this we may cite the really i'm
FASHIONED enthusiasm with which
our party members take part in de-
monstrations and in the Red Front
Fighters Union. Why? Because
they can imagine that they are con-
quering power, they can play at
making revolution without perform
ing any organizatory work. It is
my conviction that our comrades
take refuge in the demonstrations
to save themselves the daily work
in the trade unions and factories"
These ideas have nothing whatever
in common with either a correct es-
innate Of the actual situation, nor
with Bolshevism. They are an at
tempt on the part of the leading
group to substitute a false criticism
of the totality of the party members
for self-criticism. This under-valua-
ton of the party members and of the
working masses is a further key to
the errors of the comrades in ques-
ton, in trade union and other work.
The actual task incumbent on the
party is precisely the opposite of this;
it should increase the confidence of
the party in its own power and in all
the sound forces existing in the work
ing class; it should awaken the fight
ing spirit of the party, and arouse its
consciousness of it's growing strength.

contributed to bfingsabout these loss
es, still the errors and omissions Of
the leading group0of party leaders
have played the main role.
The main errors Of our trade union
work consist OF the incapacity to
grasp and secure, politically and or
enthusiastically, the trends and cur
rents favorable to us among the broad
masses of the working class. For
some months there have been signs of
the gradual reawakening of political
activity among large sections of the
German working class (the building
workers strike and various other
wage struggles in the different
branches OF industry the wood work
ers' struggle, great demonstrations in
various cities, successful Red Days,
etc.). The party leaders have not
shown themselves capable of reach
ing to these new phenomena, above
all they have not been able to take adj
vantage Of them for our trade union
work.
INTE have already mentioned that
w Comrade Ruth Fischer's group
dissolved the former trade union de-
partment of the central without ac-
cording the matter Reconsideration.
The express undertaking Of the repre-
sentative of the central to propose the
renewed formation of a strong trade
union department at the Tenth Party
Congress, was not adhered to. There
can only be two explanations Of this
omission; either the leading group
forgot to carry out the decision of the
Comintern, or it did not want to car
ry it out Should the first be the
case, then the leaders forgot one of
the most important political and or
ganizatory tasks of the party; should

THE changes in the political situa-
ton, the final transition OF the
German bourgeoisie to western orr
entation, the climax reached by So
cial democratic agitation against Sow
let Russia. render the danger Of anti
Bolshevist deviations in the German
G. P. at the present juncture greater
and acuter than ever.
The ultra-left group Scholem, Ro-
senberg, Katz, who reproach the Com
intern and its most important parties
of 'opportunism," have nothing in
common with Leninism, but on the
contrary, their relations to the Com
intern and their attitude towards the
problems OF the German revolution
are expressly anti-Bolshevist in char
acter. ssS ~
Dangerous and essentially social
democratic deviations of this nature
are to be found, however, not only
in the officially ultra-left group, but
among the leading persons in the
Maslow-Ruth Fischer group. Comrade
Maslow's writings cannot be regard
ed as a contribution to the serious,
conscientious, theoretical education of
the party in the spirit of Leninism
His latest literary works in particu-
lar are a concealed and extremely
dangerous attack upon the principles
of Leninism, and against the whole
policy of the, Comintern at the pres
ent period. gse
TN his book. "The Two Revolutions
1 of 1917" (vol. 1, part 4. p. 45),
Comrade, Maslow writes as follows on
the Third World Congress Of the Com
munist International:
II am firmly convinced that such
grave errors were committed at the
Third World Congress that this

the second be the case, then they sa-
botaged the will of the Communist
international. In either case they
have undertaken a serious RESPONSE
bility towards the party and the In
ternational.
One of the reasons why the leading
comrades of this group neglect the
trade union question is their lack of
faith in the political power and activ-
ity of the masses, both of the men,
bers of their own party and of the
working class in general. This pes
simism, which is anything but Boil
shevism, on the part of various lead
ing comrades has, for instance, been
expressed as follows:
IF we disregard the head func-
tionaries, and take the trouble to
descend into the ranks of the men,
bers, we shall find that our prole-
tarians in the shops and factories
are very uncertain in their defense
of the Communist Party. They do
not feel themselves as the victors
or the future, but as people Follow

cency." speech delivered by Com
rade Ruth Fischer at the Central
Committee meeting on $40, May,
1925. See protocol,in the pamphlet:

8. Relations to the Communist Inter-
national.
THE great political currents stir
ring the working class are not
without influence on the party rep
resenting the revolutionary vanguard
Of the proletariat. The impulse felt
by ever-broadening strata of the work
ing class towards affiliation with the
victorious working class of the Sow
let Union is mirrored within our own
ranks by their permeation with Len
inism, and with the experience gained
by the Bolsheviki And on the other
hand, the vacillations and treacheries
of certain labor groups, influenced by
the bourgeois anti-Moscow agitation,
have their final effect in the anti
Moscow" tendencies, that is, the tend
encies directed against the Soviet
Union, against the Russian C. p. and
against the Comintern within our
party.
This danger is all the greater in
the German C. P. because all its nu-
ances and currents, without exception,
are at the present day still, to a large
extent, subordinate to the influence of
social democratic West European"
traditions.
Every deviation from Communist
policy which has hitherto occurred in
Germany has begun with an attack
upon Soviet Russia, the Russian C.
p, the Comintern. Seven years of
experience in the German revolution
have taught us that all deviations OF
this description, no matter whether
disguised as Right" or Left" have
either developed directly into social
democracy, or have practically enter
ed into an alliance with it. This ap-
plies to the German Communist Labor
Party, to Levi, to Friesland, to yari-
GUS followers of Brandler, to the
Schumacher group, etc.

them. They are responding to the
masses and not crawling on their
bellies before the bourgeoisie as
their brethren in the bourgeois
world. Never before has the Rus
sian academy of Science had such
possibilities as under the Soviet
government. There is nothing new
in Europe in music worth while,
says Stock Of the Chicago Sym
yhony Orchestra, except in Soviet
Russia.
Things are created there in spite
Of the handieaps to which the cap
ltaIlst world contributed literally.
oeThIngs are created for the wide
masses Of the producers instead Of
the small class Of parasites as in
all, pther countries.
Gomrade Mayakovsky is one Of
the these new creators. He is a
singer of the masses, singer of
the revolution.
Welcome to our city, comrade
MaXakovsky!
J, We are printing here one Of his
poems, sour March," in the origin
al Russian language. We hope to
be able in the near future to print
some Of his poems translated into
English. Most of his work has been
translated into many languages,
but we have been unable to secure
a Translation in English.

More About the Viskop Children
-Palisadians will be interested to
know that the Viskop children are now
in the Christian Orphan Home at Fort
Lee These children were previously
accepted there, but at that time the
mother could not resign herself to
placing her children in an institution.
Later, when this became imperative,
the Christian Orphan Home was over
crowded, and Mrs. Viskop was obliged
to place her children in the Home for
the Homeless in Jersey City. Now
that the Christian Orphan Home can
arrange to house them, the children
have been transferred, and Mrs. Wis
kop is very happy over the new ar
