G. E. c. Report to Russian Section C0nventio

! secretary of the managing board, say
ing the following: Therefore we de-
mand that you either Immediately re-
move Comrade Ashkenudse as manag-
or of the paper or we refuse to sup
port the Novy Mir" I haven't the least
doubt that Comrade Svetlow would i'm
mediately demand resignation or ex.
pulsion of the branch from the party.
lNIOW, comrades, the Central Execu-
i'm tive Committee felt that II
shouldn't needlessly sharpen the con-
aict, even if it were necessary to over
look certain breaches of party discfp-
line. Confronted with this second ul-
timatum of the old managing board,
the Central Executive Committee de-
cided that it will accept one Of the al
ternatives Of the ultimatum; viz. the
resignation Of the old managing board.
On Jan 20, in reply to the above tele-
gram, the Central Executive Commit
tee sent to Comrade Svetlow the fol-
lowing telegram: Central Executive
Committee accepted resignation man
ager and managing board. Appoints
Comrade Oblop acting business man.
ager until after convention with two
comrades to be named acting with him
as managing board. You will see that
Comrade Oblon has business affairs
Novy Mir turned over to him in best
possible shape"
Having taken this action, which we
are certain was the only possible &C
ton to be taken under the circum-
stances, we felt that this closes the
incident, at least until the convention
Of the Russian Federation. But it
didn't. The comrades of the old man
aging board and some members of the
old editorial board found it necessary
to appeal to the Comintern. l will
read to you later their appeal. At this
point 1 wish to state that it is of
course the right of every member Of
the party to appeal to the Communist
International. l hope, however, that
this convention will express very def
nitely it's opinion on the merits of
the appeal. e"
THE Central Executive Committee
/ has nothing to retract and moth
ing to apologize for in what 1t did in
the Novy Mir matter. It comes before
you with the clear understanding that
we have done all in our power to help
you save your daily paper and to en-
able you to continue effectively Com
munist work among the Russian
speaking workers in America.
The Immediate Tasks of the Rus
sian Section.
1T will be your duty, comrades to
carefully examine your past expert
ences and present conditions of your
work in order to formulate concrete
steps for the best possible manner. of
carrying out the general party tasks
among the Russian working masses.
Our message to you could be express
ed in the following words; Don't per-
NIT yourselves to become isolated
from the Russian masses. Let your
organization and your press reflect to
the fullest possible extent the daily
life and struggles of the Russian
workers in the United States.
NOU must win the sympathies OF
| the non-partisan masses by organ
izing them and by leading them in the
solution of their daily needs. You
must under all circumstances break
the influence over these masses Of the
Russian counter-revolutionists wheth-
er they masquerade under the name of
monarchists, liberals, anarchists, or
socialists. You must increase your
membership. You must win your mem
bership to the idea of shop nuclei and
you must mobilize your entire fedora
ton to work with the party in carry
ing out the shop nuclei reorganization.
You must also convince your member
ship of the necessity of joining the
unions and actively participating in
the building of a militant left wing.
In other words, you must make your
: federation and your daily organ real,
living, militant section of the Workers
Party of America.
Long Live the Russian seetIonl
Long Live the Novy Mir
Long Live the Workers Party Of Am
erical
Long Live Soviet Russial
Long Live the Communist Interna.
