5. We have made considerable
Roadway in the unification of the
Party, ideologically as we'll as or
ganizationally.
6. We have laid the beginning of
mass work among the Negroes.
7. We have conducted the fight
against opportunism, continuing the
fight against Lore, and the fight
against the ideologically damaging
effects of American imperialism on
the working class and even on GER
tain sections of our Party-the pres
ent opposition.
Comrade Swabeck, one of the
leaders of the opposition, declared
there was pessimism in the Party
because the Russian Revolution is no
longer source of inspiration to the
American workers.
This comrade saw a conflict be-
tween the ideals Of the proletarian
revolution in Russia and the obiec-
tives of the Party in active partici-
patton in the everyday struggles of
the working class. We rejected this
theory vigorously as an example of
the most dangerous opportunism.
And when Comrade Foster devei-
oped the theory that the trade union
bureaucracy is invincible. and that
the savings of the workers in Amer
lea have dynamic possibilities" we
rejected it as another evidence of
the dangerous effects of the strength
of imperialism on the idcology of
our Party.
Our Party is engaged primarily in
the work of organizing the unor-
gained. The Trade Union Educa-
tional League has been 50 organized
as to provide place for the morgan
lied workers in its structure. In
mining, textile, needle trades, boot
and shoe, and rubber, we are en-
gagged in organizing new unions. In
textile, mining and the needle trades
we already have new unions organ
lied. The Party is in the center of
every strike in the country. The
Passaic strike and many others, the
Sacco and Vanzetti movement, the
fight against the American imper-
ialist war in Nicaragua, the struggle
against the oppression of the colo
NAL masses-in all these our Party
has been the leader. Today our
Party has the complete hegemony
over the Left Wing.
Comrade Cannon spoke here crit
ically about our election campaign.
] can only refer to an article of his
in the DAILY Worker" June 5,
1929 before he came to Moscow, in
which he wrote the highest praise
of our election campaign.
With reference to the Negro work,
we have made many errors, but we
have made definite beginning in
this work.
In the organization work, our
Party apparatus is centralized. We
have brought in more than 1000 new
members in the mining campaign:
we have more than $4,000 members
in the Party today, with an average
monthly increase of 600 members
for 1928. We now have % factory
nuclei papers with circulation of
over 10000.

Defends Bukharin's Thesis at Sixth Communist
World Congress

ISM was first renowned by the then
majority of our Central Committee
led by Foster and Lore.
5. The whole of the trade union
work was then based upon the
skilled workers, The labor ar1stoc-
racy. The sole attention was paid
to the amalgamation of the exist
ing trade, unions. All our efforts
to push the organization of the I'M
organized 1928 Convention) were
rejected.
6. Lore, who was then the real
theological leader of the Foster ma
jority, has since been expelled. At
the Fifth Congress, special instruc-
lions We're given to our Party to
have the then majority of Foster
break with the Lore forces, now out
side the Party, and unite with the
followers of Ruthenberg.
7. The C. I. further declared at
its Fifth World Congress that: "The
comrades gathered around Comrade
Cannon have made a number of dec
larations which have shown that in
stheir efforts to secure influence on
the petty bourgeoisie they have
failed to maintain the Communist
position"
8. What was the policy of these
self-styled Left Wingers of today
on the Negro work at that time?
| read from a speech delivered at
the Third Comintern Congress by
Comrade Dunno of the opposition:
"That the black workers are not
organized is not to be explained by
race antagonism, but by the fact
that the American workers in gen
eral are not organized. In those
branches of industry in which Ne
groes work, they are accepted in
the trade unions as members on a
basis of equality. If we are against
dual unions in general, we cannot
be for dual Negro unions. Race
prejudice exists, it is true, but the
best means of struggle against it
will be the acceptance of white and
black workers in one organization,
and for the mobilization of the Ne
groes on one side of the barrier and
the whites on the other
eff Comrade Losovsky insists
upon the organization of separate
Negro unions in America, then we
invite him to come to America and
try to occupy himself with this ques-
tion for at least a year. l am con-
WINGED that at the next Congress he
would demand the head of that COM
rade who might propose such solu-
ton of the Negro problem"
Our Central Committee has put
forth totally different policy, with
out Comrade Losovsky's assistance
on this question.
Then let us come to the present
period of our Party, beginning with
the close of 1925.
We now see the beginning of the
development towards a Bolshevik
Party, with the present Central
Committee leading the Party.
l. We organized the Party on a
Bolshevik basis of shop nuclei.
2. We raised the theological level
of the Party.
8. We have driven the Party into
mass work. Today AZ per cent of
our members arc in the trade unions,
as against only 32 per ent when we
took over the Party leadership.
a. We began the campaign to or
ganize the unorganized. When we
raised it concretely on the Passaic
question, the organization Of the I'M
organized textile workers and IA
nous Passaic strike, the opposition
resisted it and branded it as dual
unionism. December, 1925, G. E. c.

United States government, which
Expresses the American workers.
Is there a rehabilitation process
going on in the United States? The
Central Committee says: yes. The
volume of rehabilitation today is
greater than at any time since the
LaFollette movement was at its
height. We say, Furthermore, it is
increasing, but if it were of a ma
tional and deep-going character
there would be some mass political
expression of it. There would be
many economic struggles of the
workers. There would be wave
of strikes. But Green, WoIl and the
reactionary trade union takers and
the capitalist politicians still have
the overwhelming majority of the
working class following their pol
icy.
The error of the opposition on the
question of rehabilitation is that
they maintain that rehabilitation in
the United States today is already
national and involves the bulk of
the working class. This is due to
the fact that they think radicaliza-
ton can come only when capitalism
goes down and that American i'm
perialism is already going down.
They fail to see that the developing
strength of American imperialism
itself develops contradictions which
are a source of rehabilitation.
Briefly about unemployment:
America with it's mass unemploy-
ment and with its consequent de-
veloping unrest affords increasing
opportunities for our Party. Our
Party has responded well.
Much has been said here by our
opposition about the fight against
the Right danger. The American
Party has consistently fought the
Right danger for a number of years.
Our opposition is making carica-
ture of the fight against the Right
danger.
Comrades, l want to give you a
brief survey of the development of
our Party.--In the first stage we
made errors mainly of an ultra-Left
character. For instance, Comrade
Cannon, now parading here as one
of the Left, had a shortcut method
of fighting the ultra-Lefts by pro-
posing to expel 5000 workers from
our Party. We fortunately rejected
that method.
In the second period of our Party
our orientation was largely Right
Wing orientation, that was in 1924
and 1925 with Foster Bittel-
man constituting the heart and head
of our then Party leadership. Let
us briefly look at the line of our
Central Committee at that time.
/. Labor banking, which every
enc denounces today, was officially
endorsed in the Labor Herald, edited
by Foster, the official organ of the
Trade Union Educational League.
2. The convention in which the
Foster ittelman-Lore Cannon group
we're the majority. was greeted by
Lore in the "Volkszeitung," his
paper, as the victory of a majority
for Trotskyism. And when we tried
to repudiate this, we were defeated
in all our efforts.
3. The convention sent request
to the Comintern that the E. C. C. l..
decision to reorganize the Party on
the basis of shop nuclei should not
be applied to America.
d. Our efforts to secure a re-
pudiation of Trotskyism as soon as
it raised it's head, were defeated. 1t
was not until instructions came from
the Party representative, in Moscow
at the Fifth Congress that Trotsky-

A few words about the role of
American imperialism. The Cen
trail Committee declares that the
growing aggressiveness of Ameri-
can imperialism today is based on
its growing strength. This is the
special feature of the present world
situation. Our opposition says that
the growing aggressiveness is based
on "the diminishing reserve power
of American imperialism" This is
false and is a wrong elaboration
of the theses. The opposition can
not see that the growth and aggres-
siveness of American imperialism
can go together. Here is where they
get their criticism of the Party in
certain fields. They believe so
firmly in their false conclusions that
American Imperialism is about to
decline, that they charge that the
c. E. C. policies towards Anglo
American and Japanese-American
conflicts are based on supposed
notion attributed to the C. E. C. of
America being the tail to British
and Japanese imperialism on China.
Let US examine some facts. l
read from the estimate of the An
| glo-American relations made by one
of the "theoreticians" Of our oppo-
sition. Comrade Dunno in estimat-
ing the Anglo-American relations
has declared:
eff American imperialism really
desires peace for herself and the
imperialist world 1--WE consider in
this article only the inner imperial
ist conflicts and not the general
struggle of imperialism against the
Soviet Union), the requisite pro-
cedure seems quite simple. 1t would
be sufficient for immediate purposes
for the two most powerful imperial
ist nations-America and Great
Britain-to sign treaty against war
and agree to move jointly against
any other imperialist nation or ma
tons, which disturbed the peace.
The combination of forces would be
too powerful for any possible group
ing of capitalist nations to chal-
lenge."
The Central Committee rejects
this opportunist non-Leninist esti-
mate of the Anglo-Amerian conflict,
and maintains that the Anglo Amer
lean conflict has displaced the An
glo-German conflict of pre-war
days.
Now let us see about the Japanese
question. Our Central Committee
maintains that the Japanese Ameri-
can imperialist conflicts are develop
ing and are bound to sharpen. But
particularly because of the strong
persistent anti-Japanese propaganda
of American Imperialism and the
propaganda of Wall Street that the
United States is friend of China
it is necessary for us to expose this
propaganda by making clear the
concrete, aggressive role of Ameri-
can Imperialism. American imper-
ialism is today temporarily giving
Japan, to certain extent, some
freedom because of the greater COM
mon danger of revolutionary
China. Do we deny the sources of
conflict between Japanese and
American imperialism? We do not
deny any of this. What we do deny
is that it is our work to hide the
role of American Imperialism in this
connection as an active co-operator
with Japan in crushing China. The
basic line of the policy of the Party
must be founded not on the difier.

advice. however, Is TO leave your hair
gray and give 1t the best Of care so
that 1t will be healthy and well

use a vinegar rinse TO make your hair
softer. Use two tablespoonfuls Of
vinegar to one quart Of water Leave
