they were willing to make this the
key to the womens movement in the
United States, the basis Of every
maneuver and every campaign that
the party is going to make among the
working women. And we said we
failed to realize this universal great
ness and basic Importance Of the
United Council Of Working Class
Women. Here is what we said We
said this Council of Working Glass
Women is in reality a very, very small
organization Of working class house
wives. We said, we failed to see how
such an organization can become the
center on which we can build
and form our movement among the
working class women. But the inn
portant thing, comrades, in connec-
ton with this controversy is that as
result of it, really nothing was
achieved except factional capital
against the Central Executive Com
mittee.
NOW another point wish to make,
4 in connection with this, is that
up until about one day before the
Parity Commission adopted its prop
osal on women's work the minority
still did not know that the main prob
lem in our women's work was the or
ganization of working class women.
But it just so happened that the day
before the Parity commission made
its decision on the women's question,
the Inprecorr brought a report of a
decision passed by the women's sec
retariat of the Communist Interna-
tional which contains an elaborate out
line, a detailed outline of work among
women, and when the minority saw
this, they saw the light, and then
brought in a resolution which for the
first time proposes a program of ac-
tivity among women in factories.
Now reporting on the Central Exc
cutiYe Committees work, l wish to
say a few words on our right wing
and the struggle against the right
wing. This subject will be discussed
at length under a special heading. But
there is one point wish to impress
upon the comrades in connections with
this And the point mainly is this
That when the minority of the party
and Central Executive Committe come
to the party and party convention tell
ing us about our alliance with the
right wing, about our failure to fight
the right wing, | say that there is not
particle OF sincerity to all that
stuff recall, and all of you know,
that Lore and Loreism is not some
thing new in our party, even Com
rade Bedacht says that. You know
Loreism for years, and various forms
and shapes, and we knew for
some time that Loreism was not a
Communist tendency. Why, comrades,
at one stage in the life of our govern
ment, on the event of the formation
of the Workers Party, here is what
took place. Something very important
and significant Negotiations were
going on between delegates Of the
Communist Party and delegates from
the Workers Council group And who
do you think was representing the
Workers Council group in these con-
ferences! Lorel And who do you think
was Lore? He was also a member
Of the Communist Party Of America.
In other words Comrade Lore in those
months was member Of the Com
munist Party and at the same time
was organized jointly with a political
group which was fighting our move
ment bitterly and was negotiating all
kinds of terms with our party. And
what did the Communist Party do in
those days to Lore? Lovestone might
tell you something about that. We
knew it was bad but we could not do
much. We felt we could not do much.
And why could not we? Because we
knew that to take strict organize
ffonal measures avofuaf I oro - fhooo
