GOMRADE REMMELE: Ruth Fisch-
~ er presents herself as the savior of
the party from right dangers and en-
phasizes that unless she leads the
German central committee all the dam
gers will raise their heads again. Ruth
Fischer had the opportunity even af-
ter the publication Of the open letter
to work However, after she had
signed the open letter she organized
rebellion against the central COM
mittee and the E. c. C. 1. with all
means. She voted against every prac-
tical proposal or she withheld her
vote purely for the purpose of work
ing out platform even if it should
have no political basis The question
of Ruth Fischer is not merely Ger
man question, it is an international
question. The speech of Hansen
showed us this. There is a danger of
tra-left groups with the aim of oppos-
ing the Bolshevist policy in all coun-
tries with another one. Hansen at
tempted to connect the German ques-
ton with the Norwegian one. But
where does Hansen take his authority
to fight against the right dangers? He
sent an open letter to the Treanmal
party promising them under certain
conditions to withdraw the Communist
candidates for the municipal elections.
Hansen also took up an opportunistic
attitude to the case of Maslov If one
attempts to oppose the Bolshevist pol
Iicy of the Comintern with a West-Eu-
ropean policy as Bordiga recommends,
then that leads the way Katz has gone
who also went from country to coun-
try in order to form his Western Eu-
ropean Bolshevism. The path of Han.
sen can also lead this way. Long be-
fore his expulsion from the party Katz
had committed treachery to the party
with his Western European Bolshev-
ism by writing the basest SANDERS
against the Communist Party and the
Comintern in the 2nti-Bolshevist or
gan, Die Aktf0n." The Communist
Party and the Ccmintern will fight en-
ergetically against any attempt to
present us with this "west-European
Communism"

~ clared in his own name and in the
name of his political friends that they
were in agreement with the resolu-
tion of the German commission. 1t is
not absurd but shameful that COM
.rades like Scholem and Urbahns who
have learned nothing from recent
events can stand up and speak here
as they have done. Altho they them
selves admit the complete collapse
of their policy, they nevertheless have
the insolence to give the whole Co
mintern lessons. The German workers,
the majority of the German party
members are much more experienced,
more mature and cleverer than those
comrades who spoke here in the name
Of the left opposition. 1t was not the
German central committee which dis
credited the left opposition, nothing
could discredit it more than the
speeches of the last four speakers.
I am in agreement with the descrip-
ton of the crisis by the resolution and
when l propose TO mention the fact of
the relative sterilization in the reso-

theses, so this is not done from poll

the mistakes Of the past but we do
not see our present mistakes. We car

We are prepared to do this in the

Dorlot of France.

COMRADE DORIOT (France): The
~ situation of the Communist party
Of Germany demands an active inter-
ference on the part Of the Comintern,
because the difficulties are not only in
the German Communist Party, but we
have to deal with broad maneuver OF
the international ultra-lefts. In the
beginning of the Plenum all the ultra
lefts were opposed to Ruth Fischer
but now we can see another picture
The ultra-left comrades no longer at
tack Ruth Fischer, but the Comintern.
We are faced with a clear attempt to
form an international fraction, per
haps with an attempt to form an ultra,
left international This is nothing
new. During the dominance of Ruth
Fischer in the German party she at
tempted to form an ultra-left wing in
the French party, but without success.
The ultra-left has no political line, it
only demands the struggle against the
right. But the Comintern is doing
this quite independently of the de-
mands of the ultra-left. The Comm
tern supported the French party IN
it's struggle against the right wing.
One can only fight against the right
wing on the basis of Leninism, but
certainly not with the assistance OF
the western European bolshevism"
that MasIov proposes. Ruth Fischer
Host connection with the German
masses, and for this, not the interna
tional, buth Ruth Fischers sectatriRn
policy is responsible. The errors OF
Ruth Fischer affect the whole inter
national working-class movement.
The incorrect policy of the German
central committee in the HindenburK
elections was responsible for the fail
ure of the party IN the French munich
pal elections.A For this reason we
shall fight theoretically against any
attempt to give over the leadership
Of the German party to the ultra-left
The Comintern does not need such
saviors from the right dangers; it will
defend itself against the attacks both
from the u1tra-left and from the right,
and It will form good, healthy Lentn-
istic kernel in the Communist Party
of Germany.

Norwegian Left.

A FTER Ernst Myer Comrade Han
4 4 sen NORWAY spoke. He began by
pointing out that he only represented
his own point of view. The Norwe-
gian right party leadership supported
the liquidatorial tendencies and even
played fractional game with the
German question in order to strength
en- the right tendencies. There was a
tendency in the Comintern to concen-
trate the whole fire upon the left
alone. Only the aggressive attitude of
the French rights brought about a
certain change in the strategy. Never
theless even now it is intended to at
tack the left still more sharply then
the right on an International scale.
The speaker declared himself in agree.
ment with the utterances of Neurath
upon the estimation of the situation
inside the Comintern and upon the
coming dangers. He then read the
following declaration upon the voting
"As the German resolution to
strengthen the right tendencies inside
the various sections, / shall vote
against it. reserve the right to make
my situation more clear by a detailed
statement"

Referring to the speech of Urbahns
the speaker declared, THAT no one
wished to deny the historical service
Of the German left in the years 1921
"a, but nevertheless in 1925 the left
fraction has collapsed miserably, chief
ly thru the peoples block theory of
Ruth Fischer and Maslov. The mobil-
ization Of all the forces of the party
is necessary in order to be able to
support the German proletariat in the
difficult struggles which lie ahead of
it. I am convinced that the over
whelming majority of the German
party membership will energetically
reject any fractional Vaccinations.

tions OF the Comintern. In Germany
we are faced with the prospect Of new
fractional struggles which can do our
parties very great damage and hinder
their progress. In the present situa-
ton with the objective situation in
favor OF our work, it is absolutely es-
sential that all forces of the German
Communist Party should rally round
the central committee We must place
before Ruth Fischer and her allies the
question very clearly, will you support
the central committee Loyalty and
carry on your work of disintegration?
We have not heard one Single serious
political declaration from any ultra
left speaker, we have heard nothing
but personal complaints and attacks
against individual comrades. These
attacks were only cover for their
own mistakes. "s" AZ
When Ruth Fischer led the Com

no mass work done. The ultra-left
party leadership took up a passive
attitude to the question Of interna-
tional trade union unity and to the
question of unemployment. In an
swering the question OF how they in
tend to conduct themselves in the flu
