Party and against the stand of the
opposition.
"2. 1t condemns the action of the
opposition in violating its pledge of
abandoning it's factional struggle by
its action at the c. !. plenupa, in which
they intended to provide an interna-
tional platform for their opposition.
"3. The meeting regards it neces-
sary that the party conduct cam
paign of Qualification of the minds
of the workers against the propaganda
conducted by the capitalist and yellow
reformist press, which aims to capital
ize the discussion in the Russian
Party against the revolution, and
pointing out to the workers the up
ward trend Of industry in Russia and
the continual consolidation of the re-
volution in its progress towards So
cialism.
a. For a better understanding of
the issues involved in the Russian
question, the functionaries' meeting
endorses the proposal for a thorough
going discussion within the units of
the party in behalf Of the position Of
the c. E. c. and of the Russian Com
munist international against the stand
of the opposition"
Comrade Wolfe in his report ana
lyzed the nature of the present oppo-
sition in Russia; its formation by a
coalition of all anti-Leninist tenden-
cies; its acceptance of the theological
leadership of Trotsky; the reasons
for the problem Of the construction Of
socialism in a single country becom-
ing a central problem at this time;
the political theory of the opposition
as summed up in the theory Of per-
manent revolution; the economic
theory of the opposition as summed
up in Preobrashensky's theory OF the
proletarian dictatorship as exploiter
and the peasantry as exploited colony.
and his proposals for the acceptance
of parasitic aspects Of monopolist cap
italism rather than the progressive
aspects of competitive capitalism; the
practical economic proposals of the
opposition bloc in the matter of taxa
ton, price policy, wage policy-where-
in they tend to the rupture of the
alliance of the proletariat and peas
antry and the decline Of Soviet ins
dustry; the inner party line OF the op-
position; their latest crime against
proletarian unity in attempting to
build a platform for opposition tend
encies in the Communist International.
Comrade Wolfe terminated with an
analysis of such analogous tendencies
as exist in the American party.
Many questions were asked and
keen interest was shown by the func-
tionaries In the Russian issue. In the
discussion Comrades Schwartzenfeld,
Finger, Markoff, Sherman, Weinstone
and others participated.
Comrade Wolfe also reported on the
agitprop work in the New York dis
trict.

Continued from yesterday

CPACE must be given in shop papers
Ofor discussion of political issues and
such as the labor party, American i'm
perialism, the role of the state, class
war prisoners, etc. The objection is
frequently heard that the workers are
not interested in these questions, and
will not read the factory newspaper
which deals with them. The very
fact that these workers may be politi-
cally backward, however, makes it all
the more the task of the party group
to develop them thru its newspaper.
The difficulty lies not so much in
the workers lack Of concern with po-
litical matters, as in the ineffective
way in which these are handled. Long
theoretical arguments written in a
complex style, articles dealing with
generalities and distractions, may
well ALLEVIATE them. The writer re-
calls the first issue of certain fac
tory newspaper issued in Buffalo,
which devoted about two-thirds of it's
space to an article dealing with al
most every aspect of Communism,
from the role of the state and the
functions of the labor party to the
proletarian dictatorship. That GER
tainly afforded no political approach
to the workers.
But an analysis of political events
and campaigns simply and concretely
written, linked up with the problems
and general experiences of the work
ers In the shop, will assist in their
political awakening, and draw them
closer to the party.
Concrete Example.
EOR instance, shop paper in a rub
Der factory can easily relate the
policy OF the United States in the
philippines 10 the situation of the
workers in the plant, and from that
discuss the question of American inn
perialism. In an enterprise employ
ing foreign-born workers, the anti.
alien bills can be stressed. The ex-

(ArtlcIe 81


TN our previous articles we have
L pointed out that the petty bour-
geoisie pacifists not only create illu-
sions, issue reactionary reformist slo-
gans, but that they will not even fight
for their own slogans. That applies
to the whole lineup. The Fellowship
of Reconciliation is going to love"
war out OF existence; John Hayes
Holmes and his outfit around the Com
munity Church in New York and the
magazine Unity" is going to outlaw
war-to declare it Illegal, so that they
can fight against it legally; the Ma
tional Student Forum is going to "in-
vestigate" and experiment" with the
question; the Fellowship Of Youth for
Peace and Jane Adams and her
Women's international League for
Peace and Freedom is going to talk"
and resolve" militarism out of exist
ence, etc.
Against Nicaragua Invasion.
The petty-bourgeoisie paciflsts will
not put up a real struggle against cap
italist militarism and the new war
danger. This task remains for the
class conscious workers, the poor
farmers and the oppressed colonial
masses led by the Communists. Yet
the Communists will goad the petty
bourgeoisie on its opposition to mil
itarism; push them to take stand
and to put up a real struggle shorn of
the pacifst slogans and illusions. In
this respect the young workers every
where must raise the demand for the
passage of the Observation-Disclosures
resolutions before the senate which
calls upon Coolidge to Immediately
withdraw the American marines from
Nicaragua and the American warships
from Nicaraguan ports, tho it must be
pointed out everywhere that these
resolutions make the basis of the de-
mand that the United States is violat
ling international law thru its inter
lvention and not the fact that the gov
eminent is playing the game of Wal
Street thru this invasion.
The United Front.
The Workers (Communist) Party
has issued the call to the workers anc
farmers to take the lead in the strug
gle against the new war danger, which
must be fought now when the war II
in preparation. The young workers
must rally around the slogans OF thu
united front of the workers and farm
ers against the threatening imperialis
Iwar. Demand that the United State'
government get out of Nicaragua! M
intervention in Mexicol Hands OF
China! Our main concentration poin
will have to be to make the workers
the main base, the heart and life o
this united front. In all workers or
CARNATIONS the young workers mus
raise this question.
In the schools this question should
be raised together with the struggle
against the r. o. T. c. We mus
more closely organize our fractions
in the high schools and colleges witt
direct connection with the nationa
committee Of the Y. w. L. Our worl
to gain contacts in the regular ARMED

port of agricultural machinery to Sow
let Russia may be the basis for an
article on the Workers Republic in
factory newspapers issued, say, in
plants of the International Harvester
Company, which has had considerable
trade with the Soviet Union.
The growing rivalry between Europ-
can and American automobile manu-
facturers. to which the New York
journal of Commerce" has called at
tention, can be utilized by our papers
in automobile plants to explain the
meaning of the international fight for
markets and raw materials. Excellent
material for political discussion Is pro-
vided by the use Of injunctions and
the police force in strikes, recent ex-
amples of which have been the Pas
sale strike and the strike Of the New
York cloakmakers.
These are some illustrations Of how
to connect up political questions with
the workers immediate interests. 1t
is possible also to write of politics
without direct reference to shop prob
lens as in the present case of Ameri-
can Intervention in Nicaragua, pro-
vided this is done with due regard
to the degree of understanding of the
workers.
Learn by Mistakes.
OFTEN the editors Of our factory
~ newspapers let slip excellent op-
portunities for political propaganda.
In Detroit, for example, the Fedora
ton of Labor suffered miserable de-
bacle, a humiliating defeat, in its at
tempt to capture the state and county
republican convention. Wide publici-
ty was given this maneuver in the
capitalist press, and the workers OF
the city were in general familiar with
It. Here was a situation that could
have been utilized with splendid eff
feet for pointing out the futility Of Ia
boris non-partisan political policy, and
drawing the conclusions for q labor
party. Our Detroit factory papers,
however, failed to take sufficient ad-
vantage OF this occasion to concret-
lie the labor party campaign, and to
