move from their path any social-de-
mocrat just because he is a social
democrat. They do not spare party
ambition. Let there be differences
Of opinion with Communists about the
path leading to socialism. The path
of dictatorship or the path of de-
mocracy-those are contentious mat
tiers which could be peacefully obviat-
ed, especially in all current trade
union work. But why do they call
us and our leaders approbious names?
1t is all very well for them to shout,
"Ebert, Noske, Scheidemann," adding
to these names the most approbious
episodes. But after all, they are the
fathers of our party And Tom add
ed excitedly:
1--WE would be bad fellows indeed,
if we agreed with this and fouled our
own nest"
The sturdy fair-haired Pennevitz
from Hemnetz, is also angry with the
Communists. For instance, he said
these Rote Fahne fellows have NO
idea how to behave. They published
an open letter to the social-democratic
leaders and gave them five days for
a reply. But even before these FIVE
days had elapsed, the Rote Fahne
in its impotence began to slam the
addresses of the open letter.
And then :" said the Ger
man in confusion, there is such a
great deal of talk in our country that
our Communists are under Moscow
rule. Such is also written about you,
Comrade Zinoviev."
The whole orange chamber, includ-
ing its permanent occupier laughed
long and loud, and Pennevitz blush
ing up to the eyes, finds salvation
only in Zinoviev's reassuring smile.
THE serious and excited Meihert of
Dortmund, also endeavors as a
working man to find common Ian
guage with the Communists and finds
it very difficult. His accusation
against the German Communist Party
is that in the political struggle it
does not differentiate between social
democratic leaders and the rank and
file of that party. There is a vast
difference between them. They must
be approached differently.
Meinhert also INDUCED in remini-
SCIENCES of frustrated hopes and joys,
he is Saxon. What a pity it was
that the workers and peasants gov
eminent did not materialize in Sax
ony. On that occasion the Commun-
lists co-operated, and yet it did not
come off.
And the guests went ON talking.
How extremely interesting was this
talk between the hated president of
the execrable Comintern and the vile
compromisers. Can it be an augury
of International working class solidar-
ity?
Orange Chamber Secrets Are Out!
The mysterious Zinoviev disclosed
so simply and in such matter of
fact manner the great secrets of the
orange chamber. What would the
chroniclers Of The Daily Mail not have
given to penetrate this chamber and
to listen. Only one such meeting
was worth the long journey which
the German delegates had made.
THERE were secrets and such
4 secrets. They were worth hearing
altho the Comintern never made a
secret of them. 1t was only a matter
of taking out the cotton wool which
had been plugged into their ears by
the bourgeois press and of listening
to the serious, bitter and joyous truth
of the historical progress of the pro-
letariat.
"You want to know if we recognize
the mistakes Of the German Com
munists? OF course we do, just as
we recognize our own mistakes. The
and mistakes past and
present of the German Communist
Party are severely criticised by us,
and we will go on criticising them,
but there are mistakes and mistakes. |
Let US take for instance, that mis-
