BALLOONS PICK UP AIR.
Tire Pressure Increases During
Run in Hot Weather

Whether tires actually increase in
air pressure when they warm up
always has been a subject of contro-
versy, but since the balloon tire be-
came common there Is no longer any
question in the minds of those who
have taken the trouble to test their
tires after driving fast over any kind
of road on a hot day. The experience
of one motorist recently showed that
the right front tire had increased from
% to 80 pounds. while the left front
tire went from 20 to 49, The differ
ence was explained by the fact that
the right front tire travelled a rougher
section of the road

relation to the success of the work
of our party, which Comrade Bittel-
man very easily ignores in his report,
and that is the question of what kind
Of policy did our party follow in re-
lation to the objective conditions?
That, Comrade Bittelman, is as deci-
sive for our party as are the objective
conditions. If we have favorable con-
ditions for Communist work, Commun-
list agitation, and have the wrong poll
cies, we will not make any progress
with our work, and 1t Is our conten-
ton. which am going to prove. that
it il because you had the wrong poll
cies that you did not make progress
during the past year and half
NOW let us deal with the factor
~ which had a great deal to do with
the character Of the policies which the
G. e. C. followed, that is, the makeup
Of the majority group in our party,
the relationship of that group to the
Lore group in our party.
We know that at the last national
convention the majority won its ma
jority thru the support Of the Lore
group in our party and that its main
additional prop was the Finnish Fed
Grafton Of our party. In other words
its basis in the party is that group
which is the right wing of our party
and which is not yet developed as q
Communist group, that has not vel
learned its Communist principles and
policies, and, say, irrespective of the
leading group of the majority's diff

rade Bittelman was either wrong when
he said the objective conditions were
not favorable, or otherwise he was
wrong in what he said about the
La Toilette movement.
T EFT us see if in 1924 we had in
1.-the industries of this country favor
able conditions. Unemployment exist
ed to greater degree than for any
period since the depression back in
1921. 1928 was a period of the up
grade in industry. 1924, on the other
hand, was a period of increasing de-
preston with increasing unemploy-
ment, with increasing difficulties for
securing a livelihood for the workers:
and does Comrade Bittelman expect
US to believe that a condition in which
the workers are unemployed to the
extent Of millions Is not favorable
for the work of our party7 II Com
rade Bittelman has such an opinion,
then under what conditions will our
struggle reach its climax II not exactly
in such conditions as we had in 1924
There was unemployment, the workers
had a difficult time, being forced to
fight for food, clothing and shelter.

analysis which says that the condi-
tons were not favorable for the prog
ress of the work of our party has nc

have such an alfbi for its failure in

our party.

COMRADES: AS for Comrade Bit
- telman's closing remarks, suggest
that he should have thought of that
before yesterday in his caucus, when
the caucus made its decision as to
whether the minority in this conven-
ton was to have what 1t won In the
party or have a policy Of extermina-
ton directed against it.
The main basis which Comrade Bit
lehman laid for the failure Of the work
of the G. e. c. during the last twenty
months was in objective conditions.
He told US that in the work during
the term of the present C. z. c. the
conditions, political and economic.
we're Of such a character as not to be
fruitful for effective progress Of our
party work. Then Comrade Bittsiman
told us a little later In his discussion
In relation to the La Toilette move
ment, that everybody In the United
States expected that the La Toilette
movement would make q much greater
sweep, a tremendous sweep in the
presidential elections, and everybody
was disappointed because Of the re.
suits. Now, comrades, there could be
an expectation that the La Toilette
movement would mako such O sweep,

ton, the fact that it had such a basis
in the party was sure to carry it into
the mistakes which it made in the last
year and a half. And 1 say the fact
that it has chosen in this convention
to again rest itself in the next year
on the same basis is also certain that
1t will make similar errors in the year

L satisfy that particular group which
has given you a majority, and that
means that you have wrong policies

ours. We found this support of the
majority's influencing its action, say
not only this support but also the
development of the majority's itself,
at the very beginning of the work of
the @. e. c. in 1924. This was on
the first political question which we
had to decide in the G. %. G. The
question of what is our attitude to-
wards Trotskyism That was the first
political question OF Importance that
came before the @. d. G. for decision.
Did the majority Of the @. q. c. have

In complaining about It. It has not

another couple OF months before this

comrades, that every member Of this

take all necessary measures that this

liQuidate itself in the shortest possible
time.
We have been speaking here about
the danger Of the right wing. Conn
rades Of the minority have been trying
to establish q case here against the
majority OF the party that It Is the
right wing. say as far as am per-
sonally concerned, / am not going to
waste a single second to convince any
one of the minority that we are not
the right wing, because they know we
are not. The question that is Of more
Importance is how soon and by what
means can we really unite our partyf
I have no prescription and no particu-
lar means to propose. But there is
one thing Of which I am convinced,
that If the minority and the majority
leave this convention with this idea.
that the fractional struggle, altho it
may continue for while, cannot and
should not continue for any length of
time, the factional struggle will be
liquidated. 1t will come to an end.
fractional Struggle Must End.
And when 1t does come to an end.
it is then and only then that the reso-
lutions that we adopt in this conven-
ton, that the motions passed in this
convention, win take life and become
part and parcel Of the work Of our
party, of its activities and its future
successes. wish only one thing. that
the comrades Of the minority realize
as much as we do that the factional
fight cannot continue, no matter what
you say in your caucus meetings, no
matter what slogans you throw out.
In Cleveland in the city convention
someone read a caucus document Of
the minority which contained the fol-
lowing saying: III you give your oppo-
nent the right name you have won
half the battle" When you VIII stop
to believe that your main objective
is to find names for the majority,
when you come to the conclusion that
the party imposes upon you more earn
est duties than to md quotations as
to how you can most effectively brand
the majority with names, when you
come to the conclusion that you can
not continue this fight without ruin
ing this party and running yourself in
the process, our party win be able to
proceed to work in an effective and
successful manner.

tremendous growth Of the export Of

orally. The second major policy is the
development Of mfIitarism In the
United States something that we
must be aware Of and something we
must react to in a very effective
manner.
Trying to Win Farmers.
The third major policy Of American
capitalism is the sytematic effort that
Is being made by American capital
by big capital primarily-to win over
the farmers, particularly the rich and
middle farmers to the cause Of capital
ism in the United States. Those OF
you comrades who are following
events closely have probably noticed
that within the last two months Presi-
dent Coolidge has held several con-
ferences, probably dozens Of them.
with congressman and senators from
the agrarian section of the country.
What were they discussing3 One
thing. And the thing is how to win
the farmers of the United States, the
tich and middle farmers particularly,
to the cause Of capitalism in America,
how to prevent new qualification Of
the farmers in America for third
party movement on the political field.
The fourth major policy of the
American capitalist class is to break
the morale Of the American workers
by wage cuts and various other cuts
and to prevent by all possible means
the political awakening Of these work
ers and their organization for indie
! pendent political action. These to US,
comrades, seem to be the four major
policies of American capitalism at the
present day. And the thesis that we
submit in the name of the Parity Com
mission and the Central Executive
Committee on our immediate tasks
are policies and tactics that our party
must pursue in order to combat
In Communist way these policies Of
American capitalism.
United Party Needed.
In conclusion just few remarks.
The basis Of our work in the future,
as has been stated here repeatedly in
the convention, is a united party. We
viii adopt in this convention all the
thirteen or fourteen resolutions that
We submit to you from the Parity
Commission, but without Communist
unity no effective work win be pos.
sible. II, following the convention, we

and because the center OF our work
Is In the trade unions. The d. q. O.
was always quick TO act the moment
it saw the manifestations OF any right
wing deviation, and therefore the O.
d. O. never failed to make clear it's
position and to fight against all these
deviations.
In the time that has been left me,
only a few words on our main reso-
luton. Our main resolution dealing
with the present situation and our
immediate tasks has been adopted by
the Parity Commission unanimously
Most of you comrades, In fact all
Of you, are familiar with this resolu-
ton. There is nothing exceptionally
new for our party in that thesis.
Nothing exceptionally new except a
few basic economic and political facts
No Immediate Crisis.
The basic economic fact is that
there is no immediate crisis in the
economy Of American capitalism. No
prosperity, very far from that. In
dustry is proceeding very slowly. In
fact even the most optimistic cap
italist papers when they speak Of the
present economic conditions, cannot
work up any optimism at all for the
economic outlook Of the United States.
There is a quiet depression. Ameri-
can industry lives from hand to
mouth. No big projects. no big deve-
lopments and no considerable growth
Of home industry at present. Is there
any outlook for an immediate, severe
crisis2
Our thesis says this cannot be de-
tected. We are probably in for long
period Of hesitating development on a
downward scale with occasional severe
disturbances, aggrevating still further
the conditions as far as the workers
are concerned. This is one of the new
factors in the thesis.
AS to the political conditions in the
United States, naturally the biggest
feature is the tremendous growth of
American imperialism. The contrast
between the growth Of imperialism
and the slow development of home in.
dustry is very striking. Whereas the
investments abroad are reaching
tremendous proportions, whereas
American capitalism manifeSts trem
endous initiative and aggressiVeness
in penetrating industry and finance
in Central Europe, Asia and Latin
America, the home industry does moi
show any such big designs and pro
jects. Imperialism and the growth Of
it is one Of the main determining fac
tors of home economy and policies
And when you. analyze the policies Of
American capitalism of the present
day you will see how these are de
termined by the imperialist designs
of big capital. already mentioned the

the afairs In the party. Lore was in
the political committee. Lore had to
be IN the steering committee at the
convention of July 8. Because the
minority, then majority, believed him
to be a good Communist Is the min
GRITTY ready to recognize and admit
their mistake?
say, on what ground can the min
ority blame the present Central Exc
cutiVe Committee for the failure to
completely exterminate the Loreist
tendency in the party? That we have
fought Lore and Loreism is beyond
the shadow of doubt. Let me bring
to your attention two or three facts.
You speak about the majority having
been In alliance with Lore. Can you
point to a single instance where the
majority of the Central Executive
Committee sacrificed or compromised
its program or policy to satisfy the
Lore group in the party? On the con-
trary, in the last convention of the
party the Lore group, or part of them,
demanded as price Of their support to
the majority, that we discard our
third party alliance and the only
reply we made was that we cannot do
It because we believed in the correct
ness Of that alliance.
Not So Backward.
Another fact, very important fact,
Much talk has been made here about
the backwardness of the majority fol-
lowers, particularly about the sup
port of the Finnish Federation. Do
you know, am sure the minority
leaders know, that the Finnish Fed
GRAFTON, its predominant majority, was
against dropping the farmer labor par
ty slogan? Nearly every Finnish
branch that went on record on the
labor party issue during the discus
sion, went on record for continuing
the labor party slogan and according
to those Finnish comrades we were
wrong. Did we sacrifice our position
to please the Firms? No! 1t is suf-
ficient merely to enumerate some OF
these facts to show how ridiculous
your assertions are about the alliance
between Lore and the majority. You
cannot disregard the fact that in our
everyday activities, wherever we came
in contact with right wing deviations,
whether they called themselves Lore
ism or not. the Central Executive Com
mittee was always very quick in call
ing down and cmobatting them. l
need refer only to a few instances.
Our fight against the right wing devia-
tons in the needle trades; our fight
against Opportunist mistakes in a
number of other unions. The reasons
why our main struggles against OPP
portunism can be seen mainly on the
trade union field is this: 1t is on
the trade union field that these mis-.
takes become very quickly apparent,
