started recently in the w. c.
Penetrates Membership.
The conference proved that the
peace movement has penetrated the
broad membership Of the w. c, branch
es, About one third of the entire W.
C. was actually represented at the
conference either thru delegates or
communications.
The delegates represented at the
conference were of various political
tendencies. There were many of the
non-partissn elements, many of the
left wing and even many of the right
wing elements who are interested in
peace in the w. O. At the beginning Of
the conference, the right wing dele
gates, who were Influenced by the
various insinuations and statements
Of the Forward" that the conference
is only scheme of the left wing
elements in the W. c., were actually
afraid that THE left wing elements
would capture the conference
But after a while they convinced
themselves, that the left wing ele-
ments are not interested in splitting
or breaking the w. c., as the Forward
often insinuated, but on the contrary,
are interested in building up the W.,
G. and turning 1t into a strong work
ing class organization.
Left Committee There.
At the conference was also present
the committee of the left wing, that
appeared before the National Execu-
tive Committee of the w. c. on July
II, and demanded that peace be Great
ed in the w. c. and that all the tend
encies in the working class movement
be tolerated in the w. c. They were
invited to the conference by the Ma
tional Initiative committee for peace
in the w. G.
The National Peace committee has
also sent an invitation to the N. E. C..
of the w. G. but It failed to come to
the conference.
zaItzman Explains
Comrade Zaltzman OF the left wing
committee explained the entire strug-
gle between the right and left wing in
the w. G. He pointed out that the
left wing does not want to split or
break the w. G. but on the contrary,
wants to build 1t stronger and make
1t more powerful red cross auxiliary
Of the class struggle. But 1t was the
right wing machine, that was deter
mined to wipe out the left wing by all
means and went as far as dissolving
over sixty branches and driving away
from the W. @. ranks thousands of
members. He also pointed out that
the policy OF the N. e. c. has lead to
a weakening Of the organization, and
that it is necessary to create peace
in order to strengthen and enliven the
W. c. But this peace must not be a
Versailles treaty, but q peace in which
all the tendencies in the working class
be tolerated and recognized.
Radi Talks.
Radi, an active worker of the non
partisan Workmen's Circle schools
also spoke. In brilliant speech he
pointed out, that the fight Of the
schools against the N. e. c. Of the
w. c. was not a result of the fight
between the left wing and the right
wing in the W. c. but a result of the
attitude of the N. E. C. of the w. c.
towards the Wormen's Circle schools.
He pointed out that in spite of all
the attacks of the N. e. @. upon the
schools, the active school members
tried to prevent a split. But all their
efforts were in vain.
The Charges.
The ~ f. C. has been maneuvering
to expel the school workers. All kinds
Of hardships and restrictions were
placed on the active school members.
