international feNlOullOH "A QSBASS w
temporary sterilization had changed
the geography Of revolution" and
produced a right wing adaptation to
this temporary sterilization in all the
parties of the Comintern.
OF most profound significance as
a modifying element of the so-called
"stabilization" was the rise of nation
al revolutionary movements of OPP
pressed races and nations of the col
onial sections of world Imperialism.
The right wing had ignored or mis-
conceived the Importance of this fac
tor.
The right wing of the G. l. had con-
ceived that the social democracy had
been defeated by fascism and conclud-
ed that Communists should therefore
make coalition with the social democ-
racy. But the c. l. pointed out that
social democracy had surrendered to
fascism and had not fought 1t.
The second counter-balance to the
partial sterilization overlooked by
the right wing was the improvement
of the situation internally and extern
ally of the Soviet Union.
In Germany the right wing claimed
it had a patent on united front tao
tics. The right wing had attached
itself to Trotskyism in all countries.
1t had brought demands before the
c. l. for reinstatement of numerous
right wingers expelled, but the c. ]. re-
iected those who refused to acknowl-
edge their error, especially the error
| in Saxony.
The events In the party Of Czecho-
Slovakia Eliminates the whole prob
lem of fighting the right wing. The
details of the struggle by left wing
central committee and how the SINE
raj group had given objective sup
port to the right wing by fighting the
central committee upon basis of cri-
ticism of the methods it used against
the right wing.
Comrade Cannon dwelt at length
upon the reorganization of all parties
of the Comintern upon basis Of shop
nuclei. The agrarian question and the
correct and the incorrect Communist
tactics in agrarian work was given in
detail. The necessity Of measures,
and the example Of the error Of the
German party in the elections in
which monarchism was danger, was
given as a lesson to all party mem
bers to take to heart. Political prog
ress is a zigzag.
In the labor party work the expert
ence of the party should allow conclu-
sions to be drawn as to its charac-
ter role and the attitude Of our party
toward It. The labor party is the
key to the labor movement. But the
policy must be correct.
The labor party must be a mass
party. All previous attempts to crys-
tallize organization had been prema-
ture Not abstract agitation for
labor party, but connection with the
daily struggles Of the workers.
The party must make real fight
for Labor Party and 1t must insist
that it be real mass party and moi
prematurely formed. A real accept
ance of the c. 1. decision and all its
implications would be the base Of
proper policy.
The conceptions of the majority az
to the character of the labor party
had not differed from those Of the
minority until the July 3rd conven
ton. This had begun the conflict
and the speaker dealt in detail upor
the cause Of the discussion over tht
August thesis and all the events
since that time.
The minority had also passed two
much dependence upon the farmer
elements of the movement for Labor
party which left the movement aftel
St Paul. In this and in the August
thesis, where the theory Of left wins
labor parties, multiple labor parties
and the transformation of a labor
party into a mass Communist Party
had proven the complete misconcep
ton of the labor party by the minor
ity-which the minority has not an(
still refuses to recognize and repudi
ate.
The decision of the c. I. corrected
both sides, it approved of neither the
sis. It was a new program and thu
error Of the majority had been ad
mitted and corrected, the errors o
the minority had not been admitted
and if they had the chance they woul'
give the party another federated farm
er-labor party. Upon the basis o
work done and upon the basis of
real acceptance of the C. /. decision
the majority Of the c. e. C. deserve
and has received the endorsement o
the party membership as shown IL
this convention.
