THE parliamentary work done by
4 the party In the whole country, In
the provinces, and In the municipalis
ties, must be conducted In the main
front from the point Of view OF pros
noting our work In the mass organ-
nations. For this an indispensable
prerequisite Is the closest co-opera-
ton between the parliamentary frao-
lions and the Communist fractions IN
the trade unions. etc.
The party must not forget for
moment that serious right and ultra
left dangers still continue to exist in
its ranks. Mechanical measures how
ever, do not afford any safeguard
against these dangers, but solely a
broad, thoro system of enlightening
and educatiye work carried out by
the party, penetrating down to the
last member, and comprising every
organization and cell. The theological
overcoming Of all errors in the
spheres of practice and theory is best
accomplished by means of the permea-
ton of the party with the principles
of Leninism and of the Comintern. by
means of the application OF these
principles to the actual conditions OBJ
tanning in Germany and by means Of
the practical party tasks arising out
of this application.
This work of inner party propagan-
da must be consciously commenced
by broad campaign Of enlighten-
ment among the whole of the mem
bers, explaining the necessity and the
political import of the present dis
cussion.
7. Why Must the Change by Made in
the Party Precisely Now, and
Why Must the Change
be Rapid7
MANY party comrades will ask why
4V4 the change in the leadership Of
the German c. P. has become so sud
denly" necessary; in reality. however,
it is not matter Of differences which
suddenly arose between the execu-
tive and the Ruth Fischer group. 1t
is rather a question of differences
which have existed during the whole
course of the last eighteen months,
and which have become more and
more acute until the present state OF
affairs, entirely intolerable for the
party and for the International has
been reached. The executive has
warned the leading group more than
once against the continuation of their
deviations. As early as the session
of the enlarged executive the Russian
delegation informed the German dele
CATION under the lead of Ruth Fischer,
after days of serious consultation,
that the continuation of the wrong
inner party course hitherto pursued
would render a severe conflict newt
able. The representatives of the ex-
ecutive in Germany pointed out again
and again the deyiations and errors
of the above mentioned group. But
| all advice and earnest comrade-like
warnings remained without effect Up
to the last the executive has sought
| to avoid the breaking out of an open
conflict and the resulting necessary
organizatory measures. 1t was sole
| ly for this reason that the executive
confined itself to negotiations with
the leading group in the party CEN
trail, and refrained, in the hope Of
regaining sound conditions by these
means, from submitting the accumu-
lating antagonism to the organiza-
lions and members Of the party. We
have attempted to convince the group
Maslow-Ruth Fischer Of its errors by
| means of educational methods and
comrade-like cooperation. Despite
our misgivings we avoided an open
conflict, in order that we might throw
no difficulties in the way of the Ger
man left, with whose political line the
executive has solidarized more than
