C.I, CONGRESS
Pleads for End Of All
Fractionalism

tain, which is the sharpest that has
been sent since the Lusitania note
was dispatched to the German gov
eminent, Lovestone said.
The speaker further pointed to
the fact that while war looms
among the imperialist powers them
selves, the war with which they
menace the Soviet Union is already
evidenced in the Gordon sanitaire
they are striving to form among
the smaller nations against the U.
S. s. R.
With war at hand the social dem
ocracy is playing its old role of be-
trayal, by open collaboration with
tho fascists, while internally it ex-
actly reflects the differences be-
tween the rival bourgeois states.
Nothing shows this more clearly
than the minutes of the second in
ternational which held its sessions
in Brussels at the same time that
the World Congress was taking
place at Moscow
In connection with the second in
ternational, the Communist Inter
national has declared that the old
united front tactics must be changed,
and relentless struggle must be
waged with the leaders of the So
cial democracy. At the same time
efforts for united front from be-
low with the rank and file of the
social democracy must be increased
as never before.
The speaker then cited the impor-
lance Of the colonial movement and
the attention which the World Con-
gress paid to it. Outstanding de-
velopments in the colonial move
ment are: 1. The development of
the class struggle in the colonies;
2. The colonial revolts in Indonesia,
Morocco and Syria; 3. The Chinese
Revolution; A. The Latin American
problem.
Discussing the decisions of the
Congress on the trade unions, Love
stone pointed to the need Of build
ing the existing unions, as well as
the. need of organizing new unions
where the reactionary officials of
the old ones impede our work.
'eThe question of Trotskyism was
decisively settled by the World
Congress, the speaker declared. All
appeals of the opposition were voted
down unanimously. The Congress
further recognized the successes of
the Union Communist Party in
overcoming serious economic diff
culties.
The Congress also recognized the
correctness Of the policy of relying
on the poor peasants, of an alliance
with the middle peasants while a
fight is waged against the kulaks.
The Importance of work among
the Negroes cannot be overesti-
mated, the Congress declared. At
present there are indications of a
development of classes among the
Negroes in the United States which
creates a national movement among
them.
The keynote of the program of the
Communist International is the quick
ening of the development of a single,
international Communist Party for
the open struggle for power by the
workers and the destruction Of the
bourgeois state.
"The feature of the World Con-
gress was a thorough-going search
for any right deviations in all Com
munist Parties" the speaker said,
"Abr oivIh CONGRESS- examined and
hunted for right dangers with a
l....roscope ana telescope, and wher-
ever it found these, it hunted them
down with heavy artillery and ma
chine gun fire"
In concluding, Lovestone read the
section of the policy adopted by the
Communist International, regarding
the relations Of the various sections
to the Executive Committee and the
relations within each section, which
appeared in The Daily Worker two
days ago.
In the face of the war danger
that is threatening the Communist
Parties throughout the world, Love
stone then pleaded for unity within
the ranks of the Workers Party. He
declared that the situation facing
the Party necessitates the tighten
ing Of an iron discipline in its ranks
and the absolute subordination of
the minority to the majority.
This policy, laid down by the Com
munist International, is not for one
particular Party, he stated, but is
for all sections Of the Comintern,
and added that sit must be trans
lated into reality in face of the war
danger"
