as transient. At this very moment,
though on the whole the trend is un-
favorable, we see many favorable
signs and increasingly favorable fac
tors.
The comrades of the former oppo-
sition have said they accept the re-
port of the Polcom in general, but
they disagree with it in the following
ways: (1) China; (2) Needle Trades;
(3) In the attitude toward the trade
union bureaucracy; az In the ques-
ton of organizing the unorganied;

Analyze Differences.
Comrades, we want some deeds, not
words. Let US have the deeds now.
Let us examine the differences. I
certainly don't propose to smother
any differences. We assure the COM
rades of the former opposition that
together with them we will never
again make the mistake of hiding diff
ferences and limiting them to the COM
mittee rooms. but instead we will take
those differences out in the open, t.
the entire Party membership in the
Party as Party, not in the groups
as groups, so that these differences
do not become causes of struggle for
faction power but differences which
as they are cleared up, will help us
and will be mileposts along the road
towards the correct policy
Comrade Browder speaks of China.
Let us talk little about China, be-
cause China is an American problem
and we cannot Americanize ourselves
unless we understand Americas pol
icy towards China. What did l say i?
First of all l spoke of stages, not of
vacillating currents; l don't speak
of fluctuating currents. There are
three dominant stages characterizing
American imperialism in China;
First, the open door, 1t does not
mean that our imperialism will never
again use the phrase or enforce the
open door policy, but the characteris-
tics of American imperiaist open
door policy in China have disappeared
as the dominant features of Wall
Streets Chinese policy. They may be
resorted to only here and there.

handle non-union material; the whole
sale arrests of strikers and pickets in
this city in the strikes of the furriers,
clothing workers, shoe workers, paper
box makers, painters, ba k ers,
plumbers, subway workers, etc
these point to the reactionary char
acter of the times and the active par
ticipation of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties in the policies of
their masters, the bankers and manu-
facturers of this country.
Nor did the poor and working far
mers fare any better at the hands of
the government. Even such weak
palliative as the McNary-Haugan Bill
was defeated last year. Not cent
out of the billions collected by the
government every year was spent to
relieve the suffering Of the poor far

The rulers of this country did not even
think it important enough to summon
a special session of congress to deal
with the problems created by the
flood.

up to these facts, must cease to sup
port those who attack them day in

that the workers must organize If
their interests are to be protected
The workers of this country and of
this city must understand that the
Republican and Democratic parties
have never represented the interests
of the workers but only those of the
employers, that the socialist party
has betrayed the workers, that the
workers must have Labor Party of
their own based on trade unions,
fraternal organizations of workers,
working class political parties, etc,
and that only then will the workers
be able to resist the reactionary at
tacks of the employers and be in a
position to make moves for the i'm
provement of conditions and the rails

The workers of this city must
demonstrate at the coming elections

they understand the relation between

ment be reached with Spain. The
Spanish war minister is opposed to
the conspiracy. 1t is known that his
young wife influences him. Her own
opinions are determined by the par
ticular lover she happens to have at
the time Hence the French foreign
minister sends as military attache a
young man who is an adept with the
young wives of the somewhat
weather. beaten bourgeoisie. His par
ticular social achievements commend
him to the diplomatic service.
Unfortunately, instead of carrying
out orders, the young man devotes his
talents to the wife of his superior and
scorns all other women. His reputa-
ton is furnished; it is feared he has
lost his technique But, to be sure,
the wife Of his superior, knows diff
ferently.
A diplomatic crisis is approaching
because of the stubborn stand of the
Spanish war minister. The French
foreign minister, himself, journeys to
Madrid and leaves orders that the
military attache must exercise his
charms upon the wife of the war
minister.
The wife of the French ambassador
is furiously jealous and comes to the
apartment of the attache while the
other woman is there. He manages
to hide her and automatically averts
scandal While his wife is there
the war minister also calls with a re-
quest that the young Frenchman use
his Influence to obtain for her a
medal for virtue" from some inter
national morality society. He agrees
to assist in this worthy enterprise and
after he leaves the object of the viz
tue award comes out of the bedroom
in red pajamas to hear the glad
tidings of great joy.
The wife of the war minister is in
due time properly persuaded and in
turn convinces her eminent husband
that, as patriotic Spaniard, he
should agree to the secret treaty pro-
posed by the equally patriotic French
men.
The two final acts of the play are
highly amusing inasmuch as they re-
veal the niceties4of bourgeois morality
at their best. In the final scene the
two women hold conversation in the
presence of the military attache who
has seduced them both and the Span
ish woman declares that she will con-
fide in her closest friend the French
ambassadors wife. 1t looks as though
the game is up for a few anxious
moments. But the great secret she
is to confide in her friend is that she
has been awarded the medal of virtue.
Besides being a sparkling comedy,
bordering on the farcical, the play
has social content, inasmuch as it re-
veals the role of the kept ladies of
the diplomats and other political
agents of imperialism. To see the
play is to confirm ones contempt for
the ruling class and its political pup
pets.
The cast is beyond criticism, ex-
cept that David Glassford, as the

the Fifth National Convention of
the Workers Communist Party
for the political committee, there
was lengthy discussion among the
delegates. Jay Lovestone, the re-
porter for the committee. then
summarized the discussion as fol-
lows:
a THINK Comrade Foster erred in
d at least one section Of his speech.
He said l am going to say he made
a rotten speech. He made a mistake.
I am not going to say anything of
the kind
I want to deal with some of the
problems which apparently have not
been cleared up either in my report
or in the discussion. First of all, l
think we all agree that the character
of the discussion. though unsatisfac-
tory in some respects, is far above
any discussion we have had in any
of our conventions before. Secondly,
| propose to try to help elevate this
discussion by entirely disregarding the
accusations of trickery, clever words,
maneuvering, manipulations and in
sincerity. That must be expunged, if
not from our stenographic records, at
least from our Party records and our
Party relations. We have had enough
of that. Not coming here as a his
torian of our Party, I will not refer
to the last convention in 1925.
Comrade Bittelman has said that
the report of the Polcom is unclear in
certain respects. Comrade Krumbein
has charged that the report Of the
Polcom over-emphasized the unfavor-
able objective conditions for a Com
munist movement in the United
States and underestimated the favor
able conditions for a Communist
Party.
Beware of Illusions.
We maintain that the objective con-
ditions prevailing today in the United
States are not favorable for the de
NSIopHHeHC VI mass communist
Party and it would be crime against
the Party to develop such illusions
among the members if we were to
say that the conditions for the de-
velopment of mass Communist
Party are favorable. Where we diff
fer very vitality from the enemies of
our Party and from those who have
pessimistic ideas regarding the de-
yelopments of the class struggle in
the United States is in this: we say
that these unfavorable objective con-
ditions are temporary and passing
We do not base our strategy and we
do not base our program on such con-
ditions as absolute and eternal, but
