PARTY PRE- CONVENTION DISCUSSION SECTION

9. The reports and speeches Of
comrades in the Plenum from all
over the country, showing many
mistakes made in the work, indicate
beyond all question that the Right
danger is the main danger in the
Party. The Lovestone majority has
fought resolutely against raising the
fight against the Right danger, de-
nying that there was any such dam
ger, or any Right wing in the Party.
In the resolutions of the May, 1928,
Plenum there was no reference to
the Right danger or to any Right
errors. When the delegation went
to Moscow, the c. E. C. Majority
resisted with Indignation all efforts
Of the Minority to point out the ex-
istence of the Right danger in our
Party and to fight against it. This
Plenum shows that the Minority in
exposing the Right danger has done
a real service to the Party and is
modelling the Party in spite of the
c. E. C. Majority, for effective
struggle against the Right danger.
The Minority declares its intention
to continue its determined struggle
against the Right danger as ex-
pressed in the Political Committee
Majority's over-estimation of the
power of the American imperialism
and under estimation of the radical
ization of the working masses. We
will fight just as sharply against
this latest attempt of the Political
Committee Majority to cover up its
basically Right wing orientation by
means of empty maneuvers. The
Minority calls upon the Party men,
bership to struggle against both the
Right danger and Trotskyism and
for the unification of the Party on
the basis of broad Bolshevist pro-
letarian leadership drawn from all
groupings on the basis of a correct
line for our Party.
10. The discussion at the Plenum
contributed greatly toward empha-
sizing the actuality of the war dan
ger. The Party must familiarize
itself with the discussion which took
place as a means of clearing up its
understanding of the forces work
ing toward further imperialist wars.
The Party must consolidate its ranks
and proceed to organize the workers
for the struggle against the war
danger. All problems now facing
the Party must be approached from
the standpoint of this struggle
against the war danger. A success
full struggle against the war danger
and capitalist naturalization de-
mands an intensive fight against
the Right danger as the main dan
ger, against the Trotsky-Cannon op-
position, and against reformism and
pacifism among the working class.

The Minority on the Results of the Plenum

skilled workers, the movement TO the
right Of the labor bureaucracy and
its role of migrating the trade
unions into the war machine of
American Imperialism, the increas-
ing class differentiation on the
farms and the urgent need of de-
veloping the class struggle on the
farms, the utmost stress on develop
ing the New Communist Interna-
tional line on Negro work, and for
perspective of sharpened class re-
lations and class struggles highly
intensified by the growing war dam
ger. The Minority thesis lays down
correct line for struggle against
opportunism on two fronts-against
the open opportunism, the Right
danger, which is the main danger,
and against the opportunism covered
with Left phrases, the Cannon
Trotsky opposition.
s. The -Trotsky opposi-
ton must be combatted in the most
energetic manner. While playing
with revolutionary phrases and COW
ering itself with left" words, it is
nothing else but opportunism and
constitutes counter-revolutionary
force. The Party must systematic
ally expose the opportunist and
counter-revolutionary nature Of the
Trotsky- Cannon opposition and COM
I bat militantly the demoralizing ac-
Invites of the renegades Cannon,
Abern, Schachtnan, etc., striving
to liquidate this opposition in the
shortest possible time. The Party
must condemn the bringing in of
these renegades to the Party Plenum
by the Political Committee Major
ity and endorse the action of the
Minority in voting and speaking
against their admittance. The
Plenum speech delivered by Cannon
confirms his already evident COM
plete bankruptcy. Cannon has
Joined with al the enemies Of the
Party and the Comintern. He will
endeavor to utilize the differences
within the Party to further his at
tack against the Party and to fur
Their his anti-Party, counter-revolu-
tionary activities. But the way to
counteract these efforts of Cannon
is not to slacken the fight against
the Right danger as the Majority
does, but to wage the fight on two
fronts-against both the Right dan
ger and the Cannon Trotsky oppo-
sition. The Party must bend all eff
forts to protect the proletarian ele-
ments from demoralizing effects of
the Trotsky-Cannon opposition. The
Minority calls upon the Party to
fight determinedly and enexgetically
against Cannon and for the winning
of every worker for the Party and
the Comintern.
