ment OF Brandler and Thalheimer. In
this answer, the statement Of Brand
Ter, Radek and Thalheimer is chsrac-
terized as an obvious maneuver
aimed at erasing the impression which
the verdict OF the highest party court
of the Communist Party Of Russia
will surely have upon the Communist
workers.
Brandler, Radek and Thalheimer
are using the enlarged executive for
the purpose Of creating legal plat
form for their fractional activities, by
means OF a declaration of their pre-
tended agreement with the decisions
of the Comintern.
This maneuver will neither sur
prise nor confuse any member of the
Communist Party of Germany. For
more than year, the right factional
group in the Communist Party of
Germany under the direction of
Radek, and the electromagnetic in
Moscow, have pursued the same op-
portunist united front policy with
respect to the executive of their own
party, and the executive of the Com
intern-as they have done in 1928
with respect to the menshevists class
enemies.
THE policy of Radek and Brandler
i on the one hand, and the policy of
Bolshevism on the other, are not yet
exhausted historically; on the con-
trary, they are historically and prac-
tically more alive than ever.
It is necessary to continue and to
intensity the theological fight against
Brandlerism and to exterminate its
last remnants among the membership.
The statement made by Brandler,
Radek and Thalheimer, to the effect
that are fully in accord with the
theses of Zinoviev, clearly reveals
their intention of driving a wedge be-
tween the Communist Party Of Ger
many and Communist Party Of Rus
STA, and between the Communist
Party of Germany and the Comintern.
Radek, Brandler, and Thalheimer
have abused the Communist principle
of democracy and the right Of discus
sion. which they misused as offensive
slogans against the German central
committee. The Communist Party OF
Germany will ruthlessly suppress
every attempt to carry on fractional
activities, every breach of party dis
cipline, and every interference with
its policy. The Communist Party of
Germany realized that if it yields to
the intentions and sentiments of
Brandler, Radek and Thalheimer, it
will be lost; that IS why the party
has conducted an Theological fight
against ,Brandlerism even after Octo-
Der and until this very day, with such
severity and intensity; down to the
lowest units Of the party.
In order to staye of the Brandlerist
danger, the party had to expel a small
group Of factionalists. Today as ever,
the Communist Party of Germany is
ready to lquidate the last remnants
of fractional struggles, but sure way
of doing this is the complete extermi-
nation of Brandlerism, (Applause.)

DUTH FISHER. II only wish
IL answer Clara Zetkin, since the
German question has been so little
discussed here. The Communist
Party of Germany is in very diff
cult situation, since the tendency in
Germany is not an ascending one as
in France, or peaceful one as in
Czecho-Slovakia. evaua,rr,s
The sham sterilization is giving rise
to illusions among the workers, which
renders the party's position more diff
fcult. The party must judge the stu
alton as it really is, and must pursue
correct political policy, altho the
presidential election cannot auto
matically be compared with the
reichstag elections, yet the relatively
high numbers of social democratic
votes and the low figure for the Com
munist was somewhat surprising.
In the industrial areas the results
we're comparatively good, but in the
agricultural districts like Bavaria
they were bad. Besides. organization
al defects, our errors consisted in the
circumstances that the party, scared
of by Brandler's tactics. failed to COM
bine our irreconcilable attitude
towards the socidIldemocratic party
with an unmasking of that party.
MOREOVER, the workers feel the
1Vl constant monarchist danger.
The question of monarchy and repub-
lie is very complex, since the best
revolutionaries were murdered in the
name of this bourgeois republic. yet
we cannot take up a neutral attitude
in the question Of monarchy or repub-
lie. AS regards the trade union eau
cuses, the figures cited by zetkin are
incorrect.
Passing over to the inner-party pol
icy OF Zetkin. the speaker points out
that most OF the complaints we're all
due to the parliamentary mandate in
volved in this case. After the party
congress the central committee made
