himself with his conception of the
Third World Congress.
The whole German Party, above all
the best comrades of the German left
in all the party organizations and
districts, are faced with the duty of
exerting their utmost efforts to break
with the non-Bolshevist system Of re-
lations between the party and the
Comintern promoted by the Maslow-
Ruth Fischer group.
Another thing which must be brok-
en- with--definitely broken with, is the
system of bookkeeping by double
entry" employed by the above men
toned comrades for a full year in
their relations to the Comintern. In
stead of sincerely carrying out the
correct lines laid down by the Com
intern, this group has made continu-
al attempts at side-tracking, substan-
tiating their action to their own party
members by references to an alleged
pressure to the right" on the part
of the executive; at the same time
they have offered systematic resist
ance to the executive, by referring to
an alleged "ultra-left tendency"
among the members of the German
party.
THE experience gained during the
4 fighting period just past, since the
Frankfort Party conference, have
proved to every German Communist
that the Comintern has proved to
have been Internationally right in
every disputed question with the Mas
low-Ruth Fischer group. It has been
right in the united front tactics and
in the trade union question. 1t was
as right in the question Of the presi-
Dental election as it has been in its
warnings-disregar for years-as
to the ultra-left dangers in the Ger
man Party.
We are firmly convinced that the
Communist workers Of Germany will
speedily recognize that in the present
struggle for the inner party course to
be pursued by the German c. p. for
its relations to the Comintern, for its
relations to the masses of the work
ers, for its relations to feminist the
ory, the Comintern is absolutely in
the right, whilst the Maslow-Ruth F'is-
cher group is Internationally in the
wrong in all these questions.
THE leading group of the party CEN
4 trail has not showed itself capable
of adopting the right measures for
gaining access to the masses. An
other reason for this failure has been
the wrong line of inner party policy
pursued by this group.
As already mentioned, the questions
concerning inner party life. were dis
cussed in detail with the representa-
tives of the German central at the
session of the enlarged executive
These representatives of the execu-
tive pointed. out that the ultra-cen-
tralism, the mechanical pressure, the
predominantly administrative meas
ures, the lack of propaganda and of
any methods for spreading conviction
the dread of fresh forces, ETC., we're
bound to be absolutely disastrous in
effect. At this consultation it was
decided to strengthen the inner party
democracy. We were of the opinion
that after the victory over the right
has been won. and the left has the
upper hand in the party. the organ
izatory guarantees for an all round
correct general policy are given, and
the problem of party education comes
into the foreground. On the other
hand, we believed that the circle Of
the new cadre of leaders was to be
widened. The possibility Of making
wider selection of party function
aries should be guaranteed, and this
cannot be done without discussions,
eligibility for election, and a con-
scious policy towards attracting and
testing new workers. In this connec-
ton we further demanded that fresh
forces should be employed, among
