2. Leftist Deviations.


There are on the other hand GER
tain elements in the Party and on
it's fringe which have become so
pessimistic as to the possibility of
developing the revolutionary class
struggle in the U. S. that they
practically capitulate before the ex-
listing difficulties under cover of
Left phrases. This tendency gives
rise to Leftist deviations.
Deviations to the Left in the
American Party grow out of the
same objective situation as right
deviations. The slow growth of
our Party, the difficulties of an in
ternal and external character which
our Party is meeting in the process
of becoming mass Communist
Party, is giving rise among certain
elements in our Party which are not
sufficiently firm in their Commu-
mist theology, to pessimism in the
possibility of building up a Commu-
mist Party in the United States.
These numerically weak elements
are tending to lose faith in the
Communist Party and in the posi-
bilities Of it's growth and they also
tend to lose faith in the Comintern
generally. These elements have in
the past and today rallied to Trot-
skyism. Losing faith in the posi-
bilities of our Party because of the
inner and outer difficulties that it
confronts in the process Of growth,
these elements are embracing Trot-
skyism and Joining more or less ac-
lively in the struggle of Trotskyism
against the Comintern and against
our Party.
The opportunities for the develop
ment of working class Struggles in
TIE L. S. and for the growt' If our
Party are increasingly becoming
more Favorable due to the chang.ng
objective conditions, but IN order
that our Party may be able to make
full use of these opportunities it
has to overcome numerous obstacles
and difficulties of an internal ard
external character. These difficult
ties arise from the lack Of h0mo-
gently in the American working
class and hence lack of homogeneity
in cur own Party, the wapirg but
still powerful influence of the cor
rupt aristocracy and bureaucracG of
labor upon the working masses and
is reflection within CUR Party as
exp essed in the tendency to orien-
tate the Party policy on the aris-
tocracy of labor, the lack of Bolshe-
vik maturity of the Party and the
painful process of internal struggle
for the capitalization of Bolshe-
vik proletarian leadership, the bur-
eaucratic habits and methods of
work that prevail IN The Party, the
hostile united front against the
working class militants and against
our Party by the capitalists, their
government, the reactionary trade
union bureaucracy and the socialist
party.
Those difficulties which our Par
ty can and must overcome in order
to take full ADVANTAGE CT the de-
voloping favorable opportunities to
strengthen and lead the exploited
masses in the struggle against CAPT.
talism, are giving rise to tendencies
to capitulate before these Difficult
ties. The open right wing tendency
proceeds to capitr '"ta hy refusing
to reori7ntate the party's policy to
sharpening class relations and class

The Fight Against These Deyiations

We urge the Party to wage a con-
sistent struggle against the right
danger in our Party as well as in
the Comintern generally. The Sixth
World Congress has pointed out the
existence of serious Right devia-
ticns and Right wing opposition
groups in several of the parties
Of the Communist International.
The recent anti-party activities in
Germany, led by Brandler and
Thalheimer, and the elements led by
Evert, which tolerate the Right
deviations, indicate the correctness
of the line laid down by the Sixth
World Congress that it is now neces-
sary to concentrate the main fire
against the Right danger. The ex-
periences of our own Party shows
that the right line and orientation
of our Central Committee is chiefly
responsible for the slow growth of
our Party and for its inability to
make full use of the favorable fac
tors in the present situation to de-
velop a revolutionary consciousness
and struggle among the toiling
masses.
Hand in hand with this struggle
must go an uncompromising fight
aga nst Trotskyism and for the
Quickest lioudetion of the Trotsky-
list Opposition led by Cannon. The

Four major questions will be dis

First, Should the State Department

Second. Can a distinction be drawn
between protection of the lives and
property of our nationals and protec-
ton of our investments in foreign
country?
Third, What is the legal basis of
intervention through the use of armed
force? When intervention in disorderly
countries is necessary, should the
United States intervene on its sole
responsibility?
Fourth, If the United States continues
its policy of refusing to recognize gov
ernments which come into existence
by coup d'etat or revolution, is 1t
necessary to supervise elections In such
disorderly states?

FREE TEXT BOOKS
Previously Had Endorsed Bill
for Senior High Schools
and Ninth Grade.

The District Commissioners decided
yesterday to reverse their action of last
year and make an unfavorable report
on proposed bill to provide free text
books and supplies for pupils in the
senior high schools and the ninth
graces of the JUNIOR high schools.
Although they previously had indorsed
the measure, the Commissioners now
take the position that 1t would place
an additional burden on the taxpayers.
In this the Commissioners took issue
with Henry Gilligan, chairman Of the
legislation committee of the Board of
Education, who pointed out in a recent
report to them that the effect of the
passage Of the bill would be to reduce
the cost of education for the parents
while at the same time not materially
increasing the maintenance cost to the
taxpayers.
Initial Cost Greatest.
The school board estimated that the
cost would approximate S242,O88 of
which $55000 would be expended for
supplies. After the first year. the

school board pointed out, the annual
appropriation to maintain the system
would be approximately 100000. Of
which S45000 would be required for
replacement of Wornout and insant-
tary books and S55 900 for supplies
The free text book bill is one Of the
five measures affecting the public
schools which the school boards COM
mittee on legislation several weeks ago
urged the Commissioners 10 support.
Three of these bills were approved but
the Commissioners declined to take
action Cn the other which would grant
teachers sabbatical leave of absence
with part pay. The board desires 10
learn the sentiment of trade and civic
organizations on the proposal.
The three measures approved are de-
signed to amend the teachers salary
act OF 1924, to exempt public school
employees from the $4,000 salary limt-
tation provision of the legislative, execu-
i've and judicial appropriation act. and
to relieve individual members Of the
school board of personal liability for
acts of the board.
Fifteen States Give Books.

pointed out that the furnishing of free
text books to pupils in high schools is
mandatory in Arizona. Maryland. Ne

it's been such a help to me to learn
the new way so many of my girl
friends are doing their hair Now
just put a few dashes of Dander-
inc on my brush every time I use
it. 1t makes my hair easy to dress
and holds it in place. All I need
is one shampoo a month, now. It
stopped my dandruff, and my hair
is always cleaning and silky, in
stead Of looking dull and stringy
like it did before 1 started using
Danderine."
Danderine does more to bring out
the natural color, the CLEAN and
lustre Of your hair, than any sham
poo or treatment. 1t removes all
the dust, CRIME and oily film from
your hair-tones and refreshes your
