urbahns Speaks.

NOMRADE URBAHNS made the fol
~ lowing declaration in his own name
and that of Maslovsky (Berlin) Gram
kov (Y. c. L. Hamburg.) and Ruth
Fischer:
I'VE stand unresefvedly upon the
basis of the speech and the theses of
Zinoviev just as the majority of the
enlarged executive of the Communist
international. The solution of the cris-
is in the c. P. of Germany is the pre-
liminary condition for the carrying out
of the tasks which have been set up.
The objective conditions for the fur
Their development of the united front
polite are there. The intensifcatlcn
Of the class struggle by the Dawes
plan, the growing consciousness of
the social democratic workers, the
wave of sympathy for Soviet Russia
and the anti-monarchist movement
make it possible to win broad masses
for Communism.
The so-called bread and butter ques-
lions must form the central point OF
The daily work, but it must be empha-
sized that only the proletarian revoiu'
ton can solve the German crisis. In
this respect the tasks are: The util-
ization of the leftward tendencies
amongst the social democratic work
ers against their opportunist leaders
without repeating the mistakes of
Brandler; the connections of the par
liamentary action with the mass work
and here we must convince the broad
masses of the workers of the neces-
sity for break with the coalition pol
icy; the application of the united
front tactic towards the workers of
the centrum and the middle classes;
the formation of a broad left wing
movement inside the trade unions;
the carrying out of unity campaign
in support of the Anglo-Russian unity
committee and finally the utilization
of the sympathy for Soviet Russia in
the trade union work.
From this arises directly the task
of developing the movement for the
appropriation of the princes into a
general mass movement, of carrying
on the struggle against unemployment
in connection with the campaign
against the customs and the taxes, the
setting up of program of action, the
struggle against the coalition policy
and the utilization of the ccntradic-
tons between the social democratic
workers and their leaders and also
the differences inside the reformist
leading bodies. fEa. rsi
The opportunist right dangers are
the greatest danger for the whole per-
! iod, but the ultra-left dangers must
Also be fought Unless permanent
and energetic struggle is carried on
against the dangers from the right
there is a danger that the revolution
airy character of our Party may be
lost. The rights are utilizing the exist
ing situation to demand the revision
Of the decisions of the fifth world CON
gress. The roots of the ultra-left dan
ger lies in a, disbelief in the possi-
| bility of the formation OF a Bolshe-
visit mass party without falling into a
morass. The Katz group must be
fought, but to win the ultra-left work
ers is only possible thru struggle
against the right. The internal Party
situation has become steadily worse
since the open letter OF the r. G. G. L.
The central committee is even now
not carrying out the open letter, in
stead OF utilizing 1t as the basis Of
a broad discussion upon the errors
which have made It is using 1t merely
as campaign OF personalities. This
method has led to complete col
lapse of the left and the Party is
threatened with a repetition OF the
Brandler policy. The open letter to
the C. p. OF Germany was correct,
nevertheless. many OF the tasks which
II set are still unsettled today.
The carrying out OF thesreal united
front is only possible by overcoming
' the left phrases and thru q morciless
