is not correct. The resolution declares
that the ultra-left theology had rot
ten almost social democratic kernel,
this may be true for the liquidatory
tendencies Of person like Katz, but
it cannot be true of the whole ultra
left group. The same is true of the
remark of the resolution about the
lack of understanding of the ultra
left group for the problems of the win
ming of the masses.
The speaker declared that he did
not share the opinion of the resolu-
ton concerning the hindrance Of the
ultra-lefts for the winning of the
masses, on the contrary, in the pres
ent period the right dangers are the
most dangerous.

German Report.

NOMRADE BUCHARIN, who was
~ received with protracted applause
made a report in the name Of the
German commission: Bordiga natu-
rally objected in principle to the
draft resolution in the commission.
Bordiga declared that he was in agree
ment with the optimistic, in revolu-
tionary sense, analysis of the politi-
cal and economic situation OF Ger
many, but in his opinion the tactical
line of the draft resolution was not in
accordance with this analysis. Bor-
olga recognizes the left development
inside the social-dem0cracy and the
masses of the non-party workers.
If that is true, then it demands a
correct application ofgdnited front tao
tic with all emphasis Having regard
to the left development of the social
democratic working masses, we had to
find another tone in which to address
them. The tactic is therefore In
agreement with the analysis.

Bordiga the draft tfSsses represents

ever, that the draft resolution draws
strong distinction between the left
workers and the ultra-left leaders.

the party to be the winning over OF

comrades who are responsible for
these deyiations are neither dumb moi
deaf, but speak and write, we have
for the moment no other method OF
fighting against the deviations but

that the central point of the draft res.

against the devlations and that there

Right DeviatiOns in France.

TINE CHARACTERISTICS of these devia-
J. tions are: ~ Pessimism and a
defeatist tendency which led to a
direct sabotage of the party instruc-
tons on the part of the rights; for
instance, in the most important mo-
ment of the campaign Of the party
against the wars in Morocco and
Syria. (2) Socialdemocratic tradi-
lions in the national and colonial ques-
tions; for instance, the rights argued
against the proposal for determination
between the French and the Riff by
saying that it was impossible owing to
the differing cultural levels of the
two. Further, "la Revolution Proleta-
rienne" declared that Add ell Krim
was the representative Of religious
and social reaction and he could there
fore not be supported. This is direct
treachery to the struggle against
French Imperialism. The socialpa-
triotic opinions of the rights, however,
showed themselves most clearly in the
question of Alsace-Lorraine. 90 1t
is very characteristic for the right
that they sabotage the 24-hour strike
in protest against the Morocco war
and failed to recognize that it was
the eliminating point of a whole long
campaign of the party.

uItra-Left Workers and Leaders.

INSTEAD of dividing the ultra-left
= workers from their 'ultra-left lead
ers," the central committee rejects the
ultra-left workers and wins ultra-left
leaders like Rosenberg who came to
grief with his K. A. P. group and who
now wants to go over to the social
democratic party as quickly as pos
lsible. The internal health of the party
demands real Qualification of the DO
litical questions, the disappearance Of
all fractions and groupings and the
formation of party leadership which
enjoys the confidence of the member
ship. The necessary Qualification how
ever demands a free discussion cul-
minating in concentration party CON
gress the task of which would be to
form leadership supported by the
majority of the party.
There are only two possibilities for
the party central committee, either
the amalgamation OF the left with the
center, makes possible the formation
of really Bolshevist kernel and then
the chief task would be to win the
ultra-left workers, or the central com
mittee will become dependent upon
the right theology and fractions. In
the second case the left workers will
be compelled to oppose it with the
greatest possible resistance"

syndlcalist Tendencies.

TlHE syndicalist deviations are very
4 clearly expressed in an article by
Louzon, which denies any interest Of
the working class in such real prob
lens as the tax question, the inter-
allied debts, the increase in the cost
of living, etc, which present the tax
struggle as a fight exclusively between
large-scale capital and the petty bour-
geoisie and which shows a complete
lack of understanding for the class
relations, in particular of the role of
the peasantry. The syndicalist devia-
tions have also expressed themselves
in denial of the leading and educa-
tive role of the party and in the con-
tention that the education OF the mem
bers can only be carried out in organi-
cation outside the party.
Loriot declared that the reformist
leaders and the masses will not be
separated; he fails to recognize the
chief task Of the united front tactic,
which consists in bringing about ex-
actly this separation.

self-criticism on the part Of the lefts.
The lefts were correct in their strug-.
gle against opportunism and revision
ism, the struggle for the role of the
Party and the struggle against the
causes and the consequences of the
October defeat. In all basic questions
the left was right as opposed to the
right
The lefts were wrong when they
gave way before the anti-Bolshevist
tendencies hostile to the Comintern,
in their vacillations in the united
front question and in the trade union
question and in the failure to cut
themselves apart from the K. A. p.
elements in the time. In correcting
it's error in the election of Hindenburg
the left made Opportunist deviations
in the application of the united front
tactic towards the workers of the cen
trum and when it led the struggle
against the ultra-lefts with organiza-
tional measures. The Party crisis is
made more intense by the fact that
the c. G. is selling the Party to the
rights.

danger mentioned thah'a serious tao
teal error was the issue by TRENT
of the slogan for the--transformation

He had not done this, and therefore

basis for the struggle against the

international Press Correspondence
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., March IA (By
4F1 Mail) The nineteenth session of
the enlarged executive committee Of
the Communist International was
opened under the chairmanship of
Comrade Geschke.
After a short declaration by Com
rade Dobrogenua Gerea (Roumania)
upon the utterances of Schuminski
and Skryptnic at the fourteenth party
congress of the Russian party, Com
rade Humbert-Droz made a report in
the name of the French commission.
He declared that altho the political
theses emphasizes the right dangers,
the debates of the commission had
dealt chiefly with the past mistakes OF
the left and the organization errors
of the party. This is not an abandon
ment Of the opinion that the right
dangers are dominant in the French
party today, but a recognition of the
internal connection between the mis-
takes of the right and of the left.
The left deviations are rooted in
the whole objective circumstances, in
the traditions of the French working
class movement, in the process of the
development of the French Communist
Party and they have a fruitful and
favorable. field. The right deviations
have their roots partly in social
democratic, even social-patriotic ira
ditions, and partly in syndicalist tradi-
tons, as with the Monatte group.
Since the December conference of
the French party, which practiced a
courageous self-criticism and recog-
nized the mistakes in the application
of the united front tactic, in the trade
union question and in the mechanical
state of the internal party life, there
has been a change for the better.
The resolution of the French COM
mission accepts and emphasizes the
conclusions of this self-criticism. The
support of this self-criticim on the
mart of the executive is all the more
valuable as the open letter of the
December conference to the member
shin has been interpreted in different
manners.
To accept the self-criticism Of the
French party in no way means con-
cession to the rights, for instead OF
effectively criticizing the line OF the
party the rights placed their own plat
form opposed to the whole party. The
condemnation of the right deviations
which is contained in the resolution is
not in any way the preparatory for a
campaign of victimization against the
right; it is simply the theological
struggle against the dreat dangers
which can arise from the errors OF
the right and an objective analysis
of the social-democratic and syndical-
list character of these errors.

Declaration by MasIovsky.
MAsLovsKY then made

CoMRADE MASLOvSKY then made
- the following declaration in his
own name and in the name of Ruth
Fischer and Urbahns; r
"The speech of zetkin was an open
attack against the decisions of the
9Th congress, both in the plenum and
in the German commission. Zetkin
represented the standpoint Of Brand
Ter, Thalheimer and Watcher of Oc-
tober, 1928, and demanded that the
party be given over openly to the right
group.
At the same time Zetkin attempted
TO discredit the whole left IN the Com
munist Party Of Germany by personal
attacks upon the Maslov group. AL
tho the German delegation in its dec.
laration rejected the political conse-
quences of zetkin's speech, it never
theless assisted her political ideas by
an acceptance of the methods of strug.
gle against the Ruth Fischer-Maslov
group"

Reject Resolution.

THE speaker then gave the reasons
= for the rejection of the draft res
olution of the German commission and
protested against the statement OF
Stain who had said in the German
commission that Bordiga was an hon
est oppositional man who always said
exactly what he thought, but that he
(Stalin) did not believe word that
Ruth Fischer said. Lenin had also
used sharp methods of discussion, but
never such methods.
After Urbahns Comrade Engel made
the following declaration: 81 reject
the resolution of the German COM
mission but approve of the speech
and the theses of Zinoviev. In gen
eral / am in agreement with the dec
laration of the Urbahns-Ruth Fischer
group, disagree only in the following
particulars: l maintain the rejection,
of the open letter as correct, because
it handed over the party to the dan
gers from the right, proclaimed the
struggle against the left and stamped
the left as anti-Bolshevist and hos
tile to the Comintern. The party GEN.
trail committee is chiefly responsible
for the Katz affair thru its incorrect
treatment Of the left party members.
The workers who were expelled with
Katz must be Immediately won back.
X. A. P. tendencies exist, but the Ill
tra-lefts are honest Communists who
wish to spare the party the repetition
of the October catastrophe"

Divisions In the Right.

THE most important deviation of
l. the right in the organizational
question is the struggle against the
transformation Of the party over to
the factory nuclei basis. The French
right IS absolutely not homogeneous.
One part OF tho right consists of bour-
geols intellectuals. another part is
closely connected with syndlcalist CIR
cles.
Both the parts form united front
against the party, but the party must
learn to differentiate between the va
rious deviaitions and TO carry on the

Maslovsky's Reasons.

THE speaker then gave his reasons
i for the rejection of the German
resolution. The attitude of the reso-
luton against the right is very weak,
on the other hand It sharpens the
struggle against the left. The methods
Of struggle used against the Ruth
Fischer group will not assist in the
return of the party to normal. Tho
speaker declared himself in agreement
with the Urbahns group but declared
that he would work upon the basis
of the decisions adopted here.

Lighter offering of wheat the prin-
clpal markets together with unfavor-
able weather in Argentina which tend
ed to delay harvesting in that coun-
try, had a strengthening influence on
the wheat market during the week
November 81, according to the week

An increased demand for old crop corn
held prices steady for that grain. Oats
continued firm and rye prices ad-

market was steady with prices slight
ly higher.
Crop developments in the southern
hemisphere were the outstanding fea-
ture in the United States wheat mar
ket during the week. Heavy rain

'terioration. According to trade esti-
luates present conditions indicate
crop about 35,O00,00O bushels larger

is also larger than last year and ac-
cording to unofficial estimates will
total around 150,00O,000 bushels COM
pared with about 113,5OO,OO0 bushels
last year A further increase in oce-
an freight rates from Argentina to
Europe placed the American wheat on
a more favorable basis in the Euro
pean markets compared with offer
ings from South America.
Further accumulations in the wheat
stocks in the Canadian markets had a
weakening influence in the market
which somewhat offset the influence
of the delayed movement from the
southern hemisphere. Canadian lake
ports were so badly congested that
railroads limited the movement Of the
