Is publish for the information of
the membership of the party. The
plenum Of, the central committee
will Issue a Statement to the party
IN the light ofNthe resolution of the
E. {. c. c. !. The party units are
urged to delay THAR discussion of
the resolution until after the state
ment Of the central commIttee ap-
pears.-c. E. Ruthenbers, general
secretary
/. The Enlarged Plenum or the Elk
ecutive Committee of the Comintern
attaches specially great importance to
the question of the creation Of a real
proletarian mass party in America
The hegemony Of the imperialists of
the United States of North America
turnout the world renders the work
of the American Communists an i'm
portant and singularly responsible
one. The Communist Party of America
is called upon to play a tremendous
role, and in many respects even
DECISIVE role. For that reason
alone all the Sections of the Comm
tern, and the Comintern as a whole,
will attentively follow the activity of
the American Section and support it
in every possible way.
2. At the same time, the Enlarged
Plenum of the Executive Committee
of the Comintern realizes clearly the
tremendous objective difficulties which
the development of the American
Party must overcome during the next
period.
It was in America that reformism
developed its hateful characteristics.
The corruption of the upper strata of
the working class by the bourgeoisie
assumed particularly strong forms
here because the American bourge-
oisie, which has heretofore squeezed
out unheard of surplus profits, has the
opportunity of corrupting the labor
aristocracy and to take advantage of
this opportunity on a broad scale.
In spite of this the American Com
munists, with the correct tactics and
with the support of the whole Comm
tern, will doubtlessly succeed in
mastering all difficulties and in rally
ing the broad masses of the working
class round its banner, whose inter
ests can never be identical with the
interests Of the demoralized and cor
ruptible upper strata of the labor
aristocracy of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
8. In order that the American Com
munist Party can be in a position to
fulfill its historic mission, the first
condition is the complete and absolute
abandonment of the factional fight
within the Communist Party. The En-
larged Plenum Of the Executive has
grounds to expect that the majority Of
the Central Committee Swill not mis-
use the apparatus and Simply steam
roller the minority, since there is no
ground for doubt Of the loyalty of the
latter toward the Comintern. The
Communist International is firmly
convinced that after the deep and tor
menting fractional fight which the
American Communist Party has gone
thru, a fresh factional fight might ruin
the Communist movement in America
for long time to come.
4. The Enlarged Plenum of the
Executive Committee of the Comm
tern approves the policy laid down
in the resolution of the Executive
Committee Of the Comintern in the
Spring of 1925. The Enlarged Plenum
of the E. c. c. l. believes that no
revision of this policy has become ne
cessary. The Enlarged Plenum of the
E. c. C. /. believes that there can pc
no question of a new change in the
composition of the present Central
Committee of the American COmmgn-
ist Party; the Party itself determines
the composition of the c. G. at its
Party Congress. The task of the
Party consists in carrying out the
policy laid down in friendly co-opera-
ton, and in putting an end once and
for all to the fractional fight.
The Enlarged Executive Committee
calls upon all members Of the Party to
support the Central Committee which
in the short time of its existence has
already succeeded in achieving sub
stantial success in the unifcation of
the Party. The c. E. c. has central
tied, thru energetic reorganizations,
the Party which up to recently was
divided into Is language sections. The
Party press also shows decided ideolo-
gical improvements. In bringing new
