VI. The Situation in the
Workers Party.

T1HE present situation in the Work
L ers Party of America raises the
following principle problem for solu-
ton: The Workers Party faces serious
dangers from its right wing, the non
Communist Lore tendency, which
tends to undermine the Communist
basis of the party.
Another impediment to the growth
of the party and its becoming a real
Bolshevik Party is it's present social
democratic and federation form of or
ganization. The sooner the party CEN
tralized its apparatus and completely
reorganizes on. the shop nuclei basis,
the better for it's growth and develop
ment.
Organized factionalism is a third
sore in the body of the party. 1t not
only demoralizes the membership but
actually endangers the integrity and
unity of the party.

movement. The recent wage reduci
tions, the stagnant industrial situal
ton, the defeat of every Legislative
measure favorable to the working
class, the continual interference Of the
government on the side Of the capital
lists and against the workers in every
industrial conflict, and lastly, the pro-
found disappointment of large masses
of workers in the effectiveness not only
of the old political parties, but also of
the non-partisan methods of the trade
union bureaucracy and the "progres-
sive" policies of LaFolletteism. The
closer we approach the congressional
elections of 1925, the more pronounced
will become the political conscious
ness and activity of the American
workers The prospect Of strike in
the anthracite regions, the resistance
of the textile workers to wage cuts,
the ferment in the garment industry
in resistance to Governor Smiths s
award, all indicate stiffening in the
resistance Of the working class. These
struggles are creating increasingly
favorable conditions for this move

l.. specific immediate measures to
bolshevize the party are the follow
ing:
a. Liquidate Loreism. This tend
ency must be liquidated politically in
the sense that the party will wage a
relentless struggle against Loreism
and all other forms of opportunism.
Enforce absolutely loyalty and disci-
pline with regard to its own decisions
and those of the G. /. Eradicate the
conception that the w. P. is only a
propaganda organ, no federation auto
nomy, full and complete control Of the
party press by the c. E. c., and no
concessions to reformist prejudices
and non-Communist views. Organiza-
'tionally the Lore tendency must be
liquidated. in the sense that no re-
preventative of the Lore or Poyntz
group will be permitted on the next
G. f. c., and that no leading party
organ COMMITTEE of editorship) will
be led by followers of the Lore tend
ency.
b. Liquidate factionalism. No or
ganized factions; that is, no organized
groups within the party having pol
itical platform of its own as distinct
from the party platform and owing
allegiance or discipline to its own or
ganized group as against the party
discipline. All existing groupings
shall be Immediately dissolved. The
next C. e. c. shall be authorized to
impose measures of party discipline,
including in the most extreme cases
expulsion from the party, the main
effort of the party shall be directed
against the most dangerous manifesto
lions of such organized factionalism.
y C. Reorganize the party on the
shop nuclei basis and centralize it's
apparatus and leadership in accord
with the organization letter of the
c. /. and the special resolution of the
C. e. c.. to be submitted to the con-
.yention.
d. Educate the party and its lead
ership in the fundamentals of Marxism
and Leninism
>te Widen the political outlook of
the party. Educate and train the
party to the understanding that the
working class must be the leader in
the struggle against every form of
capitalist oppression ard that the
party must take cognizance of and
react to every manifestation of the
class struggle no matter how obscure

the point has been reached when the

does not at the present time face a
revolutionary situation. The problem
in the United States is to break the
bonds which still tie the working
class to It's exploiters and to develop
consciousness of its interests as a
class and conscious struggle for these
interests as a class. Our party must
be the medium to unity the industrial
struggles of the workers and to break
the bonds which hold the workers in
the political parties of their exploit
ers. The policy Of the party in the
present situation must have this main
objective-the awakening and the
arousing of class consciousness for
relentless class struggle against the
capitalist system.

Of the Washington conference treaties

the American capitalists particularly
against the Japanese and the British
interests. In pursuing this imperialist
policy the American government is at
tempting to hide its aggressive plans

as a friend of China. In this hypocriti-

I The trade union movement Of the
l. United States continues on the
downward grade. Itis losing member
ship. 1t is weakening organizational-
ly. And is generally losing much of
it's effectiveness as an organ of econ
omic struggle.
. The reactionary trade union bu-
- reucracy met the open shop Of
fensive of the capitalists with sche-
mes of class collaboration instead of
class struggle tactics. This false
policy is responsible for the tendency
toward degeneration of the trade un-
ion movement. An intensive struggle
against the class collaboration sche-
mes, such as labor banking, B. and o.
plan, arbitration, the abolition of
strikes, etc, is the best means of re-
juvenating and Strengthening the
unions. e-r.,-
. The left-wing in the trade unions
u is growing in number and infiu-
ence. Such successful struggles of
the left-wing against the reactionaries
as took place in recent months in the
unions of the miners, machinists, car
penters, and needle trades, is sufi-
cient proof Of the growth of the left
wing in the trade union. The tre-
mendous success Of the minority
movement in England and the gener-
