with the Majority of the Political Committee
before and at the Party Convention"
THE Political Committee draws the attention of the
Party to the agreement. arrived at by the repre-
sentatives of the existing arty groupings for the
notification of Party. We point out the great
help to the Party in the line laid down in the fol-
lowing sections of this agreement which indicate the
road to the unfication of the Party:
"The first and most important prerequisite
for the merging of all the factions is the COM
ing nearer and the unifcation of the two main
historical streams in the Party which, until now
have stood most sharply against each other;
the Majority of the Polbureau and the Group of
Comrade Foster. We pledge ourselves to con-
vince the entire Party of the need of such
step and to avoid any actions which would hinder
this development.
CAT the same time we will make every effort
in order to bring about complete merger with
the Wenstone-Cannon group also. This group
likewise must work with all its power for the
accomplishment of unity between the Majority
of the Polcom and the group of Comrade Foster,
with the aim to merge itself also with the other
groups. Against the Cannon Weinstone group
there should be no struggle carried on any more
than against the other groups We are of the
opinion that the leading forces of all three
groups can work together as they contain in
their ranks complementary elements"
TIE central Executive Committee considers it Of
great help and very fortunate for the Party that
today there is basis for any dispute in our Party
over the Interpretation of the decision of the Com
intern All disputes or struggles in our ranks over
interpreting the Comintern decision are unnecessary
IN view of the following supplementary declaration
OF the American SUBJ Commission of the Presidum
OF the Communist International regarding the line
IL mas been following towards our Party:
"The following paragraph was adopted by the
An1nT S1Jh- Cow o,ce1ox,
with the purpose to be embodied into the agree
ment of the American comrades as statement
on the policy followed by the Executive Com
mittee of the Communist International toward
the different groups in the American Party:
THE Comintern recognizes that in many 20
litical questions the Ruthenberg Group followed
more correct line in the past than the Foster
Group. Because of this the Comintern has gen.
orally been supporting politically the Ruthen-
berg Group. On the other hand the Comintern
had to protect organizationally the Foster Group
from the Ruthenberg Group. Because the Ex-
ecutive had the opinion that the leading group
of the Majority of the Polcom had not suffi-
GENTLY understood how to estimate the full sig
nlficance of the trade union forces in the Party
and that Conlrade Foster at that time was more
correct on many questions of the trade union
tactics the line of the Comintern has been: on
the whole for the political support of the Ruth
enberg Group and for bringing Foster nearer
to the general political line of the Ruthenberg
Group, at the same time, however, following
the course towards the correction Of the trade
union line of the Ruthenberg Group on the line
of Foster thru closest cooperation in the Party
leadership"
COMRADES, the time for factionalism and group
struggle in Party is over. Already in the
American Commission, the representatives of the
various groups agreed that:
90. the unity of the Workers (Communst)
Party is more than imperative
essity. The international situation, the ever-in-
creasng danger, the increasing attacks
of the government and the reactionary trade
