ance. Great Britain is facing tremen-
dous struggles which will be similar
to social transformations. If min
ers' strike takes place, our first and
most important task will be to organ
ize world action in support of the
strikers. In France the crisis is be-
coming ever ripper, it has even pro-
crossed during the course of our ses-
sion. 1 believe that the slogan of the
workers and peasants government is
suitable in France just now.
We must connect this slogan with
the daily questions and as the crisis
becomes ever more intense, so we
must put the slogan of the workers
and peasants ever more into the cen
ter of our agitation The speaker is
in agreement with the German central
committee and the report Of the Ger
man delegation in the analysis Of the
German situation. Even if the crisis
in Germany is not so intense as the
crisis in 1923, it is nevertheless no
isolated episode. A very important
fact is that a crisis is intensifying in
three great parallel countries. At the
same time the revolution in the East
is maturing and this shows that we
are approaching a new turning point.
Altho there exists no immediate revo-
lutionary situation, there is gradual
transition from the defensive to the
offensive. In 1928, both the internal

tionary struggle in Germany were very
great. These external difficulties have
now become less by the parallel in
classification of the crises in France
and England.
THE attractive force of the Russian
L revolution for the world working
class was never so great as it is to-
day. Despite all difficulties the whole
working class of the world feels that
we are in the middle of the work Of
socialist reconstruction.
The social democratic workers who
were poisoned for years by the SLAM
ders of the social democratic leaders
felt thru their proletarian instincts the
successes which the work of socialist
reconstruction brought to us even in
the first years. This is a very inn
portant contribution to the psychology
of the masses.
TT is important that the decisions
L should not merely be adopted but
studied and carried out. We must in
troduce more democracy and more col
lectiye work into our ranks. This Is
possible because the parties are con-
solidating themselves, their forces
have come stronger and because we
are not in a period of immediate civil
war. Naturally, less democracy and
more civil. war against the bourgeoisie
would be better. In the present stu
alton, however, the internal party de-
mocracy is very important We must
improve the organizations of the Com
intern and abolish their defects.
THE setting up of two perspectives
for the future remains correct. The
task of revolutionary leadership is to
Judge the situation effectively, to re-
tain both perspectives in mind and
to do everything to speed up the more
favorable and shorter perspective. We
shall perform this task also. Crises
cannot be avoided 1t is our task to
utilize our great historical experiences
in theory and practice to overcome
these crises. 1t is necessary to re-
tain the greatest possible objectivity
and calm and not to be afraid of en-
ergetic arguments. Communism is a
robust child which will pass all crises
and overcome all errors. This natur-
ally does not mean that we should
produce mistakes and crises. But
where they are inevitable, we must
overcome them. We have already won
the sixth part of the earth and even
our enemies are now convinced that
they can't take it away from us any
more. We stand at the beginning OF
great national revolution in the
Orient, particularly in China with its
almost five hundred million inhabi-
tants. In the most important coun,
tries of European capitalism, above all
in Great Britain, the Communist move
ment is growing. We have argued
very much here, we have dealt out
hard blows, but now let us get back to
work in closed ranks. A future gen.
Grafton will not see the victory OF
Communism in Europe, our own gener-
alton will see it and l hope not only
in Europe. (Applause). The Comm
tern is growing to fight all difficulties,
1t does not exaggerate, it knows that
great weaknesses are present in all
countries. We are, however, certain
that the Comintern will get rid OF
these mistakes and that the proletar-
lat will be victorious and we are all
prepared to give our lives to assist
the world proletariat in lis struggle.
