cept in connection with the analysis
of the international situation, be-
cause they represent methods of war
preparation. We must therefore
subordinate all other questions to the
question of the war danger.
Communist activity must be
Enthusiastically coordinated, for ex-
ar'rlo the Communist must point
out that the trade union bill in
Great Britain has not only an inter-
nal significance, but also an inter
national significance as part of the
war preparations.
Trade Unions.
In expectation of war, the chief
task of the Communists is to win the
masses, but this is impossible with
out increased trade union work. The
Red International of Trade Unions
must be especially supported there
fore. The opposition shown the de-
cisions of the R. l. l.. U. in conse-
quence of the difficulty of work in
cisions of the R. l. L. U. in conse-
quence of the difficulty of work in
the reformist trade unions, points to
tendency present to restore the old
slogan, Away from the ira e
unions
No Neglect of Old Unions.
"The organization of the unor-
ganized is extremely important, but
work in the reformist trade unions
must not be neglected.
at is not impossible to win the
trade unions. Every replacement of
reformists by revolutionary workers
means a reorganization of the trade
unions in question. The opposition
to the decisions of the Red Interna-
tional of Trade Unions must be
fSught, as also the slogan of pro-
duction control.
"The growing contradiction be-
tween the political influence of the
Communist Parties and their organ
national strength must be overcome.
Mass organizations must not be re-
garded as a substitute for Commun-
list Parties, but only as points of
support.
Greater attention must be paid to
the problem of unemployment. IN
employment in the United States is
fundamentally different from, say
unemployment in Great Britain
Unemployment results on one hand
from naturalization, and on the
other, from depression.
U. S. Imperialism Not Exhausted.
"The forces of American capital
ism are not exhausted, but at pre-
sent large investments in industry
are not profitable and hence the
large capital export.
Land Workers and Peasants.
"The question of the land workers
can hardly be discussed here altho
this question is very important, TO,
example in China and the Balkan
countries where the peasants and
the land workers are in ferment.
"The peasant question in the Latin
American countries is particularly
important. With regard to the or
ganizational forms for the peasan-
try, we must maintain our former
decisions. Proposals for the revision
of the former decisions and the for
nation of political peasant parties
is absolutely incorrect.
" Negro Question. W
"The parties have not paid enough
attention to the Negro question
This is important not only for the
United States but also for Latin
America and Africa.
"The Indian situation is altered
by the fact that British imperialism
is investing less capital thus re-
tarding the process of the industrial
development. This worsens the
condition Of the peasants who are
unable to fly to the towns and ex-
plains the front of the native bour-
goisie against Great Britain. The re-
volutionary crisis will strengthen
and express itself in the agrarian
revolution and struggle for the in
dependence of India.
"The Vienna instruction was a
real instruction and the slogan for
the formation of soviets might have
been issued.
"Now that the Trotzkyist opposi-
ton is settled, the chief danger is
in the right wing.
"The impossible has happened in
Great Britain. The British Party
has now adopted slogan against
