Delegates Discuss the Report by Zinoviev

end Of the sabotage Of the right group.
The speaker was in agreement with
Semsoen that the former party COM
mittee had bad effect upon the move
ment in the Dutch East Indies. The
present central committee had, never
theless, altered this tactic; it wanted
to establish an earnest cooperative
work with the Communist Party OF
the Dutch East Indies and it will fight
against all imperialist tendencies. In
the recent months a great campaign
has been conducted in favor OF the
struggle of the working class in the
Dutch East Indies. Seegers demanded
sharp protest against the attitude OF
Wyncook, who did not come when he
was called, and instead published in
terviews in the social democratic
press, and also against Ravenstein,
who has attacked the Comintern in
the bourgeois press. Left dangers are
also present in the Dutch Party, par
ticularly in connection with the trade
union problem. In the future these
dangers will be fought.
TN the name of the presidium Com
L rade Semard proposed that a tele-
gram of greetings be sent to the Red
army on the occasion of the eighth
anniversary of its foundation. This
proposal was accepted with enthu-
siasm.
Comrade Engler, the representative
of the French rights, pointed out that
zinoviev had admitted that the slogan
'of the determination with the Rifi was
an incorrect one. The rights had said
this over year ago and put up then
the slogan of immediate peace. Only
later did the central committee Of the
party realize its mistake. The rights
had only struggled against the "a
hour general strike inside the party
because it had not been properly pre-
pared. If the strike had been properly
prepared we could have won the
masses of the socialist party for the
strike, even if we had not succeeded
in winning the leaders. We of the
right saw in advance the unfortunate
results of the general strike. The
employers flung our best comrades ON
to the street, We of the right have,
nevertheless, carried thru the strike
as disciplined members of the Com
munist Party. 1t is not correct to say
that the rights have formed frac-
ton, for amongst them there exist the
greatest differences of opinion. The
rights recognize the necessity of the
shop nuclei. The shop nuclei must,
however, not become decisive organs
in the party because there is no po-
litical life in them. We have always
been moderate in our criticism and
always inside the party. We must re-
tain territorial organizations also,
build nuclei groups and make the
nuclei lively. The open letter of the
enlarged executive of the Communist
International to the German Suzanne
Girault, that is to say Ruth Fischer,
was correct. Just such letter must
be sent to the French Ruth Fischer,
that is to say to Suzanne Girault. We
demand that the central committee
give up its struggle against us, that
it adopts a policy of recopciliation,
that the policy of expulsion be re-
versed.
The person of Souvarine means
nothing to me, but he must be taken
up again in the party because he has
requested it. Put your conditions for
the acceptance of Souvarine, if you
want to, but accept his re-entrance
into the party.
