The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-13


munists. Kuusinen opposed separate
women's organizations and appealed
to the decisions of the third congress.
But the situation in 1921 and the sit
uation today is very different. At
that time various comrades were also
opposed to the partial demands, to
the struggle for the daily needs. Since
thats time the whole Comintern has
learnt many things. The p. G. G. l.
has already adopted decisions for the
support Of sympathizing women's or
CARNATIONS in America and for the
support of the Red Women's and Girls
League in Germany. Having consid-
GRAFTON to the existing differences of
opinion, the speaker recommended
that the question be not finally settled
at this discussion, but left until
later period when the sections have
discussed the matter.
kuuisinen in Closing Speech.
TN his closing speech Comrade Kuusi-
4 men declared that no one was
against the formation of even new
women's organizations for definite
ends. 1t would, however, be incorrect
to form women's organizations along
side Of the mems without any special
end in view. No one wishes to dis
solve existing women's mass organi-
cations or refuses to work inside them.
The Communists must always work
everywhere where the masses are.
The question is only whether we
Eshould concentrate our chief attention
upon the work amongst the women
workers or concern ourselves in each
country with the formation Of women's
Organizations.
The most important field must be
the work of the factory nuclei amongst
the working women. We don't need
thousands Of tasks on paper, but the
carrying out at least of one of the
most important tasks in actual prac-
tice. This special task is the appli-
cation of the methods Of the women
delegates. This task was first of all
set up in the end of 1923. At that
time we met with open resistance,
even on the part of the women's sec
Iretariats. Later the methods were
recognized in theory, but in practice
they we're neglected. Now, however,
the matter is recognized fully and
clearly but other tasks are pushed
forward and in this see an attempt
to distract the attention. (Herta
Sturm contradicts.)

especially dangerous for us; they can
be at the most innocent organizations.
We need, however, revolutionary work
amongst the women. The Red
women's and girls organization in
Germany is quite different. 1t is a
valuable affair. But we may not gen.
eralize this example for all countries.
1t is necessary to emphasize the i'm
portance of the work in the trade
unions and in the co-operatives, par
ticularly the increase of the activity
of the Communist women in the CO.
operatives. (Applause.)
The voting upon the draft resolution
of the commission for the work
amongst the masses was then post
poned until the last day of the SEES
sions.
Czecho-SIoVak Commission.
NOMRADE KORNBLUM then made
~ a report in the name of the Czecho-
Slovakian commission; The commits
sion dealt with the memorandum Of
the right group to the executive
signed by Hula, Vanek, etc. The Sc
we're internal party crisis Of last year
was overcome upon the basis of the
resolution of the last enlarged E. C.
c. l. by the formation of block be-
tween the majority and the so-called
center, by an increased activity upon
all fields and by a merciless struggle
against all the open and hidden sup
porters of Bubnik. Upon the basis of
this policy the party has achieved i'm
portant successes upon almost all
fields, only in the trade union work
the successes are still meagre. The
third party congress in September,
1925, declared itself unanimously for
the policy of the Comintern and the
Communist Party. At that time the
Hula-Vanek group addressed a letter
to the party congress, but it received
no response. With the excuse that
their letter was at the time not dealt
with by the party congress, but by a
political commission and declared to
be a purely fractional matter, they
have now repeated their attempt
They chose the present moment when
the effects of the open letter to- the
Communist Party of Germany are be-
ginning to show themselves as the
best moment to use for their frac-
tional purposes. From the letter it
can be seen that its signatories have
neither forgotten nor learnt anything.
They regard the case of Bubnik as a
small incident and compare it with
the case of Schoenlank. According to
the ideas of the letter writer's last
years crisis was caused by the ultra
lefts and not by the rights.
