The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-03-26

In the next few months the slogan
of the dissolution of the reichstag will
become very important The Red
front fighters league Communist
sympathizing organization) very often
manages to carry thru actions to-
gether with the reichsbanner (Nation-
al Flag youth organization uniform
ed and recruited from the three re-
publican parties, democrats, social
democrats and the center. Its mem
bers are probably however 80 per cent
recruited from the ranks of the social
democrats). The campaign for the
confscation of the mobiles does not
merely include the social-democrats
and the Communists but it has be-
come real peoples movement. The
significance of this campaign consists
in the following: It is led by the
proletariat, it strengthens the anti
monarchist tendencies, it strengthens
the contradictions amongst the bour-
geoisie, it loosens the relations be-
tween the bourgeois and the social
democratic parties, 1t strengthens the
class basis of the proletariat and gives
the possibility Of approaching Sec
tions of the population which have
hitherto been inaccessible to us.
THE significance OF the open letter
4 is shown by the fact that even the
bourgeois press prophesized con-
siderable increase in the influence of
the party after this letter. Thanks to
the excellent results of this letter we
were able to carry out the campaign
for the appropriation Of the nobility
and to build the united front commit
tees in the shops and factories. The
letter also guaranteed us good success
in the trade union question. The chief
enemy inside the party is on the ultra
left. Apart from the ultra-left there
are certain tendencies existing like
those of Ruth Fischer. Scholem can
now see the way open for cooperative
work. But when we issued the slo-
gan away with the bourgeois block
and for the connection of lists in the
counting of the votes left over, Scho-
lem and his supporters were very
pessimistic, they spoke then about
parliamentary cretinism. The Saxon
policy was only successful by fight
ing the ultraIefts. In the question Of
the confiscation of the property Of the
mobiles the ultra-lefts pursue a policy
which effectively results in, a
Strengthening of the social-democracy.

E. K. K. l., but at the same time he
recognizes the policy of the central
committees to be correct. This policy
is, however, based upon the letter of
the e. X. X. l. Scholem's standpoint
is therefore, contradictory. Our tao
tics will also in the future base them
selves upon the open letter. Scholem
declares that he stands upon the basis
of Leninism. This is just as true as
when Streseman says that he stands
upon the basis of the Weimer consti-
tuition. Uaughter.) Scholem con-
tends that there is basis for the un-
Outstanding. That is true, but this
basis is the open letter of the E. X.
K l. and the recognition of the cor
rectness of the policy and tactics of
the c. C. An understanding is only
possible upon this basis. (Applause.)
.OCHOLEM did not like the idea of
~ going to Canossa, or falling on his
knees. No Bolshevik speaks like this,
that is the language of German ma
tionalist when he refers to the "vic-
torious enemy" Scholem protested
against the pact of the letter which
attacked corrupt elements" (Scho-
lem interrupts: mot corrupt, only
mad" Thaelmann answers him: "As
long as he supported you, you did not
think him mad.") Katz is an agent
Of the bourgeoisie, nevertheless Scho-
lem signed the letter Of the seven
members of parliament which declar-
ed themselves in solidarity with him.
Scholem spoke about the danger of a
split. We draw distinction between
the ultraleft workers and their lead
ers, and we have been able to, dis
cover that in Wedding there are three
districts which are not in agreement
with Scholem. The c. G. has received
