Great Britain and U. S. in
Foreground

THE sessions have already proved
4 that the prophecies Of the social
democratic and bourgeois press about
the collapse of the Communist Inter
national are incorrect. Difficulties and
differences exist, it is true, at the
present time in the French section,
and to a certain extent in the Ger
man section also. We will overcome
them; in Germany they are even al
ready partly overcome now.
The successes with which we have
met are not unimportant, not tenn
porary, but great and important. This
is in accordance with the whole sit
uation, which is becoming ever more
radical. The political analysis of the
theses complemented by the commits
sion are correct and accurate.
We studied almost all countries and
placed Great Britain and America in
the foreground.
The slogan of the UNITED States of
Social Europe!" must be conducted
with the Communist attitude in gen.
eral. The social-democratic press de-
clares that our aim is merely united
states of Europe. Our slogan is nat
urally: proletarian social states of
Europe, and we know that Europe
alone is not decisive. We have a
point of support in the Orient and we
are at the same time studying the
American situation, where the rela-
ton of forces is still unfavorable for
us, but will certainly change.
In the American situation we have
adopted a decision which we hope
will satisfy all comrades. think that
the enlarged executive may accept the
theses of the political commission with
good conscience, as we have done
our best in the present complicated
situation to find the further way for
the organization of the Communist
Parties for further struggles against
the bourgeoisie. (Storms Of applause.)

Literature and Our Organization
BY ALBERT GLoTzER.

TN the past the comrades in the
l. league did not take the question Of
literature sales as an important func-
ton in our work. This is in all prob
ability was due to the lack Of under
standing on just what literature
means to us. An attitude prevailed
where a literature agents job was
considered a nuisance and unessen-
tial. With the reorganization comes
a need of more concentrated efforts
by the comrades in the proper hand
ling of literature.
The press affords an unlimited
amount of propaganda and is wea-
pom more powerful than anything else.
The capitalist class thru its corrupt
and kept press keeps the workers in
ignorance. We must build a mighty
organ to combat the ruling class and
can not afford to let ourselves fall
down in this work. We must concen-
trate our work in every field with our
literature. In almost every phase Of
work the press must be used and used
to our good end. Can the comrades
imagine what would happen of our or
ganization would be without Young
Worker, or the party without The

Right and UItra-Left
Twin-Brothers

7ETKIN was not quite right when
~ she said that our line was incorrect
and quoted the defeats in Esthonia,
Germany and Bulgaria to prove this.
Despite the correct line of Marx and
Engels, they nevertheless suffered the
bloody defeat Of the Paris Commune.
Successes and defeats give way to
one another. Naturally, everything in
our ranks is not ideal; we have made
great mistakes, but he who fights
must reckon with defeats as well as
with victories.
The tactic of the united front is a
correct tactic, but nevertheless it car
ries dangers with it. We must never
forget these dangers and wherever
right dangers show themselves we
must fight against them. The conten-
ton that the rights and the. ultra-lefts
are twin brothers will be true for a
long time to come.

cally and strongly the left leaders
would have continued in their incor-
rect trade union policy. They be-
lieved that if they adopted the trade
union decision into the resolution they
could thereby make concessions to us
but at the same time they could work
differently in practice. This caused
the bankruptcy of the so-called left
leaders. Ruth Fischer has said that
the biggest mistake after Frankfort
was that the ultra-lefts had not been
fought with sufficient energy. That
would, however, have been a very diff
ficult struggle for Ruth Fischer. be-
cause this struggle would have been
a struggle against herself. In Frank
fort the ultra-lefts on the one side
and Ruth Fischer and Maslov on The
other were united. Ruth Fischer con-
fesses that her policy in the question
of the united front, in the trade union
question, in the organizational ques-
ton, etc, was incorrect. Where was
her policy correct? In the struggle
against Brandler? Yes, because in
no other way could the executive
save the German Communist Party
from split 1t was compelled to
accept the Ruth Fischer-Maslov cen
trail committee, otherwise three par
ties might have stood in the place
where today there is only one. After
the bankruptcy of Brandlerism this
was the only way to save the unity of
the party. The lesson Of German
party history consists in the fact that
any attempt to place some other line
opposed to the feminist Comintern
line inevitably suffers bankruptcy.
The left attempted to work out a
line of their own in the trade union
question and in the tactic of the
united front. They attempted to cor
rect Leninism from the left, and in
this they inevitably suffered bank
ruptcy because both right and left of
Leninism there is only anti-Commun-
ism. The bankruptcy of this singular
attempt of the German left proves not
only that Leninism is applicable to
western Europe, but also that it is
the only possible strategy and tactic
possible.
