mistakes committed in regard
to the socialist party, to the
fact that the Party has not with
sufficient energy conducted
work in the organization of the
unorganized and for the organ
ization of the Negro movement,
and that it does not conduct
sufficiently strong struggle
against the predatory policy of
the United States in Latin
America. These mistakes, how
ever, cannot be ascribed to the
majority leadership alone"
Note the vast difference. We ac-
cept unreservedly the estimate Of
the C. l. We are certain that in
choosing between these estimates of
the Party by the Opposition and
the G. l., the membership will I'M
hesitatingly and decisively select
for its platform the decisions of the
Comintern and not the platform of
the Opposition-whether it be
united or divided.
The line of the Opposition, at
least insofar as the American Par
ty is concerned, is clearly in con-
flict with the line of the c. l. No
matter how often the Opposition
may proclaim in words it's accep-
lance of the ,Comintern line, it will
be in deed against the line of the
CT until it completely drops its
reservations towards the decisions
of the Comintern on the estimate of
American imperialism, of radicaliza-
ton, and of the Central Executive
Committee.
High Times To Unite All Commu-
mist Forces.
1t is high time that all Commu-
mist forces should close their ranks
to fight energetically the Right
danger and its crassest expression
Trotskyism. The charge made by
the Opposition that the Central
Executive Committee attempts to
brand the entire minority as being
.Trotskyites and against the Comm
tern" is without the faintest founda-
ton in fact. In it's statement of
November 10th, the Central Execu-
tive Committee expressly declared:
"The Geo declares most Wig
orously against any attempt to
dub the comrades of the Oppo-
sition as Trotskyites. The Gee
warns every Party comrade
against such mistakes"
In the convention arrangements,
the Central Executive Committee
made every concession to the OPP
position. Equal time and equal
Party press space is being granted
to the Opposition. The Gee also
adopted the following as its policy
guiding the Party discussion:
"The Polcom desires to or
ganize the freest possible dis
cussion throughout the whole
Party, giving full possibilities
to the minority to present its
views before the entire Party
membership and gives all guar
antees for fair and adequate ar
engagements in all matters con-
corning the Party convention"
"That the discussion be con-
Quoted on the freest possible
basis, giving all possible oppor-
tunities to comrades in the OPP
position to the Central EXecu-
tive Committee, solely limited
by the statutes of the Comm
tern and within the principles
of Communism"
A most serious obstacle to the
unification of all Communist forces
for an effective fight against the
Right danger and its most consis
tent and complete expression, Trot
skyism, is the continued insistenc,
of the Opposition to fight the deci
sion of the Communist Internationa
relative to the estimation of thu
world position of American imper
ialism, rehabilitation, and the esti
mate of the Central Executiv,
Committee. The CT categorical,
declared that:
"The charge against the ma
jority of the Central Committee
of the Party of representing a
Right line is unfounded."
The Opposition must unreservedl,
accept the decisions of the Comm
tern.
Solely on the basis and in full &C
ceptance of the decisions of tn
Comintern, the Central Executiv
Committee on November Bird, mad
a further energetic effort to secur
complete unification of all Commu
mist forces in order to crush tn
Right danger and its worst outbrea
in our Party, Trotskyism. TIL
Central Executive Committee the
declared:
"The unity of all Communist
forces against the Right dam
ger and the growing Trotskyist
menace is imperative. The Poll
teal Committee calls upon all
comrades who are today in OPP
position to the Central Execu-
tive Committee and carry on a
factional struggle against the
Party leadership to unite with
the Central Executive Commit
