PARIS, Aug. 28.-After abandon
ing in terror a half year ago the
conference in which the representa-

their proposals for complete world
disarmament, the powers today de-
cided to invite the Soviet govern

The invitation to sign was given
not by an American representative
but by the French ambassador.
The suggestion had been made
that the Ia delegates signing the
treaty affix their names to an Off

BUKHARIN ON u. S. PARTY SITUATION


"A dangerous tendency also revealed in the
course of the discussion, namely tendency to
deny the necessity for working in the reactonary
unions; and attempts were even made to develop
theory for the purpose of fortifying this attitude
Sometimes this tendency is observed among the
rank and file and arises from difficulties which the
work in reactionary trade unions encounters. The
tendency to leave reactionary unions is fOstered
also by the fact that large numbers of workers in
many countries still unorganized. This is the
case in the United States of America and also in
France. 1t is absolutely clear that the task of
ganizing the unorganized is of our main tasks
at the present time, but this is why we
should abandon work in the reactionary trade
unions even in countries where dual unions exist"
No Big Political Differences
Speakers of the opposition especially Comrade
Bittelman, accused the Central Executive Commit.
tee that it is advertising American imperialism and
that it does not the possibilities for Communist
mass work in America Bukharins speech rejects
categorically both charges:
Take the American Party. Quite latey-at
least so 1T seemed to all of usthe American Party
appeared to be overcoming the internal friction,
but now we find that the controversy is flarng up
again. The internal Party struggle has revived
to such an extent that attempts being made to
utilize the present conjuncture for the purpose of
continuing the struggle in the acutest form. Are
there really any big political differences in the
American Party? No They petty. Are the
differences so important as to warrant the forma-
tion of fractions? l believe they are not. For
instance take the question concerning the attitude
towards American capitalism. Some say American
Imperialism has grown stronger. Their opponents
declare that they are advertising American i'm
periasm. Such expression should not be used.
No good can come of it and it does not help clear
up the question must confess that do not enter
tain any hopes of revolutionary situation arising
in the United States in the future. / say this
quite frankly. In no country in the world is cap-
talism so strong as it is in the United States of
America, where it has reached its zenith. Is it a
terrible thing to say that there is little likelihood
of immediate revolutionary situation? 1t is if
this is used to back up the argument that there is
positively ground for activity among the Amer
lean masses. AS far as know, however, no one
has made such assertion. Unemployment is
fact. Changes in American industry is also fact
and also is the growing discomfort among the
unemployed workers. Is there any ground for the
growth of the Communist Party? Yes there is.
Does this furnish any justification for an acute
factOnary struggle? of course not. All steps must
be taken to avoid such struggle"

MOSCOW, Aug. 27.-From the detailed report
Of International Press Correspondence we can now
give clearer and objective picture of the
estimation of the American Workers (Communist)
Party situation given by the Sixth World Con-
gress of the Communist International than the short
and sometimes unclear and distorted wires
tanning speeches made at the congress.
The closing remarks of Comrade Bukharln, the
official spokesman of the Executive Committee of
the Communist International clarified all issues
related to the American Party situation.
Internal and External Contradictions.
Comrades of the American opposition, Foster
and Bittelman, and Comrade Lomipadze who dev-
ates from the official line of the Russian Party,
criticized the theses of Comrade Bukharin from the
left" They made the criticism of the theses and
of the American Central Executive Committee, that
they underestimate internal contradictions and lay
toe much emphasis external contradictions of
imperialism Bukharin said this point the fol-
lowing: -----~sz- --7vs
"The basic thing today is the danger. If
we separate external contradictions from internal
contradictions it is equivalent to diminishing the
Significance of this fact From objective point
of view such an underestimation of the danger
is not left position but quite the contrary, it is
the reflection of right wing dangers in the Com
munst International The principal danger that
threatens us today is the underestimation of the
War Danger"
Reserve Powers of U. S. Imperialism.
The speakers of the opposition, Comrades Dunno,
Bttelman and Foster, charged that the Central
Executive Committee overestimates the power and
growth of American imperialism and overlooks the
fact that "the powers of American i'm
perialsm are diminishing
Bukharin said on this question follows
II absolutely disagree with the argument ad-
vanced here by many comrades to the effect that
the internal possibilities of American imperialism
have been exhausted. They have not been
hausted and IN general am in principle opposed
ito this point of view. 1t is wrong both in theory
and in principle. 1t is the Luxembourg theory"
New and Old Unions.
The speakers of the opposition and Comrade
Losovsky accused the Central Executive Committee
of obstructing the execution of the Profntern
luton because, laying the main emphasis on or
ganizing new unions, the Central Executive Com
mittee stated the necessity of maintaining and
increasing our work in old unions, too.
Bukharin took the following position this
question:

CRASH KILLS
EIGHT WORKERS

SHELBY, N. c., Aug. % (UP).
The debris of brick, plaster and
twisted planks-all that remains of
the three buildings which collapsed
today, killing eight persons-was
searched tonight for the bodies of
four workmen still missing
Police, firemen, relatives of the
missing, and friends, pulled and
tugged at the mass of wreckage,
trying to penetrate its depths.
Four Negro laborers remained
unaccounted for this afternoon as
volunteers dug deeper into the
debris. A group of seven had been
working in the excavation. Three
of them were taken out seriously
hurt but the remaining four were
believed trapped under the heaps of
bricks and plaster.
The four missing men were be-

gave way, bringing down with it
the structures of three buildings in
the heart of this town of 1000

The increase will bring $50 O0o, 900

revenues were needed in order to
improve the railroads and at the
same time not endanger the repara
