Results Of the PIenary Session Of the
Executive Committee Of the
Communist International

wards the formation of a party of
their own. There is no doubt what
ever that they are in receipt of help
from our Opposition, from whom they
receive material about our Party life,
even to reports on the sessions of the
Political Bureau, and information on
occurrences in this Bureau.
Steering their course in accordance
with the political wind, they direct
their attack at times directly against
the Soviet Union itself, whilst at
other times they adopt milder tone
towards the Union, and direct their
efforts to violent attacks on our
Party and the Comintern. On one
occasion, for instance, they wrote
that Stain does not differ in the least
from Noske (Disturbance). / do not
understand why you are surprised at
that, it is nothing new.
Their newspaper, which has become
the organ of our Opposition" at the
present time, dishes up every morsel
of gossip or SANDER in circulation
against our Party and the Comintern.
These good people will presently ar
rive at slogan of "Soviets without
Communists" They have already
published an article on war in which
they state that, unless the present
leaders of the Comintern change their
political and organisatorV course
radically at the last moment, they
will play the same role as the lead
ers of the Second international at the
beginning of the great war. (The
Flag of Communism" No. 12.)
This writes the Maslow pardoned
by Hindenburg's Government, the
Maslow who disgraced himself at his
trial, about the Parties Of the Com
intern, and that at time when the
Chinese Communists are being stran-
gled, when the French Communists
are being thrown into prison, when
the Italian combardes are perishing
in their dungeons, when the German
Communists are organizing hundreds
of thousands of workers in the strug-
gle against war, when an incredible
agitation is being carried on against
the Soviet Union, when the whole
capitalist world is conspiring togeth-
err against the Comintern! And these
hostile elements (who seek to pro-
woke US further by clubbing them
selves orthodox Marxists," "Lenin-
ists," etc. are proposed to US as saw
tours of the German Party.
Our policy in preparing for war,
in all that concerns inner party ques-
tons, must consist of ensuring the
strength and unity of inner relations
in the Party, and of steering a def
mite course towards winning over the
broad masses of the Social Demo-
cratic workers.
Our Parties are we'll aware that
they will be plunged into situations
in which their lives will be literally
at stake if they are to remain true to
the Comintern, and to protect with
their own bodies the socialist father
and of the proletariat against the at
tack of the imperialists. But instead
of demanding that our ranks stand
closer together than ever, instead of
demanding the expulsion of apostates
and the winning over of the broad
masses, the Opposition proposes that
we admit any offal into our Party,
the various types of anarcho-syndi-
calists, the more than suspicious Mas
low, the disciplined" Ruth Fischer,
etc., and meanwhile we may forget
the Social Democratic workers for
the present. We are not in agree
ment in any single point with this
standpoint; not single comrade has
said a word in favor of these "meas-
ures," with the exception of Comrade
Vuyovitch, whose fractional interests
make him Trotzky's supporter in all
these attacks, sa1lies, and proposals.
Not one single member of the Plenum
is agreed with the readmission of
Maslow and his group, or with the
idea of turning our backs on the broad
masses and starting on a search for
a few syndicalists to help US to de-
fend the Soviet Union.
