Worldwide Appeal for Gastonia Victims

THE statement of the Central Committee of the Commu
mist Party of the United States, in behalf of the VIC
Tins of the Gastona frameup is the opening gun in
paign that must reach every section of the whole world 1t
appeal not only to the workers of the United States
but is calculated to mobilize the masses of the great i'm
perat countries the workers and peasants of the smaller
capitalist countries and the millions of victims of colonial
oppression against this latest murder conspiracy of Yankee
Ayranny Uncle Shyock the United States ruling power
Is known in other parts of the world already despsed by
every intelligent worker and peasant countless millions of
whom are horribly exploited in order that the Yankee loan
monger may have his tribute.
The seven years torture and finally the cynical
saon of Sacco and Vanzeh aroused the hatred of the
working class of the whole world But this ruling class
rogant and drunk with power is preparing to stage
wholesale urdefeast in Gastonia because those workers
dared challenge the mill and the rest of the capitalist
class by waging fight against the miserable conditions
existing in the rationalized industries of the South
Let no one for moment be deluded regarding the pos
sby of the capitalist courts acting except execuoners
of these Gastona victims No such Illusions hampered
the defense of Sacco and Vanze be tolerated Only
the worldwide fury of the working class can save the
victims of the Gastonia frame-up.
Once again the masses of the other countries must
gather in tremendous demonstrations before the American
embassies before American banks and American enterprises
wherever they may be and let be known in uncertain
terms that they part of the ruling class of this country
will be held accountable to the workers unless the Gasona
victims are released.
There is no time for procrastination. No time to wait
for the urerous wheels capitalist justice bring these
workers to the door of the electrocution
Now is the time to act and act quickly!

The enlightenment campaign thus
far has not yet met with the re-
Spouse that it must meet from the
Party membership. 1t is necessary
for the Party organizations every
where to not only discuss the COMM
tern Address in general way, but
to concretize it by self-criticism,
taking up the problems and tasks of
the various factory nuclei, problems
of the Party building, etc. The
Party membership, particularly the
comrades active in large factories
and in mass organizations must par
ticipate in the enlightenment cam
paign by writing about their ex-
periences for the Party press and be
drawn in more actively into leader
ship of the Party and in the carry
ing on of the practical tasks. The
enlightenment campaign thus far
still lacks t.le concreteness which it
should have. This will be achieved
by the most active Party members
participating in the enlightenment
campaign SO that the campaign can
really become a campaign of self

errors, and lay the basis for the inn

Defeat the Concealed Opposition

tions made in Moscow by Lovestone,
Gitlow and others on May 9th and
May 14th. The only difference is
that the response of the membership,
the loyalty of the membership, to the
Comintern, has compelled these COM
rades to change their line of attack.
The concealed opposition is more
dangerous than an open opposition
would be. They are more dangerous
because they do not make a frontal
attack in which they would be i'm
mediately destroyed by the Party,
but choose rather to carry on
guerilla warfare and a sniping
policy.
While it is true that there are
some honest proletarian elements
who because of the fractional corrup-
ton that the Party has been suffer-
ing from for so many years are still
confused on this or that question and
such elements must be enlightened
on the real meaning of the COMM
tern Address, the Party must be
very vigilant in exposing all con-
cealed opponents to the Comintern
Address who usually carry on their
sniping policy by raising this or
that petty question. The Party
membership must learn how to
recognize this concealed opposition,
it's manifold manifestations, because
only then will we be able to carry
on a successful struggle against
them and defeat them.
The following are some of the
manifestations of the concealed op-
position:
1. We must wait for further in
formation as to what actually hap
pened."
2. We do not know the "real'
actions of Lovestone and Gitlow.
3. Opposition to condemnation by
name of Lovestone and Gitlow.
A. An attitude which under the
slogan of Unity is a process" al
lows hesitation and concealed oppo-
sition to go without attack or de-
feat.
5. Taking formal action on every
step raised in the fight against the
opposition, but taking no initiative,
showing no real enthusiastic effort
to mobilize the Party for the line of
the Comintern.
6. Failure to support and defend
the decisions of the Polburo in every
Party organization.
Z. Spreading all sorts of lying
rumors as removals, organizational
changes, etc.
8. Spreading pessimism as to the
ability of the leadership to mobilize
the Party for work.
9. Against any political enlight-
eminent on the ground that we have
no time for discussion.
10. Resistance to struggle
against the Right danger.
1t is the duty Of the Party mem
bership to expose those who, under
the guise of any of the above mani
festations organize and carry on a
struggle against the Comintern Ad-
dress. The membership must place
itself in opposition to all these at
tempts to distort the Comintern Ad-
dress and to hinder the work Of the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-06-24

he, still a member of the Central
Committee, tells them that the de-
cision is against the interests of the
Party. What the membership will
say we already know. The member
ship will tell Comrade Lovestone
that they are for the decision of the
Comintern because this decision
provides the basis for the correction
of the line of the Party, for the
abolition of factionalism and for con-
verting the Party in the shortest
possible time from a mere propa-
ganda organization into mass
Party.
The membership will not fail to
understand that Comrade Lovestone,
even in his present declaration in
which he makes formal acceptance
of the decision, that by stating his
disagreement with the decision, by
telling the membership of his con-
viction that it will not prove helpful
to the Party, is in reality telling the
membership to struggle against the
Comintern Address; that Coplrade
Lovestone is maintaining his plat
form; that Comrade Lovestone is at
tempting to organize a new faction
in opposition to the Comintern Ad-
dress. The membership will not fail
to understand that Comrade Love-
stones platform against the Com
intern Address is platform to the
right of the Comintern; that it is a
platform which repeats the ISLANDERS
against the Comintern that are made
by the Right wing of the Communist
Parties in every country and in the
Soviet Union. The membership will
recognize, therefore, that Comrade
Lovestone made his statement in an
effort to organize fractional Right
opposition in the Party in support
of the Right elements in the COMM
tern.
If Conlrade Lovestone did not and
could not yet understand and there
fore fully agree with the Comintern
Address, but really desired to change
his course and help carry out the
Address, surely Comrade Lovestone
would not find it necessary to tell
the membership his opinions against
the Address. Comrade Lovestone by
making this open statement of dis
agreement, by stating in no uncer-
tain terms that he is Still continuing
his platform, has done service to
the Party. He has made it impos-
sible for himself to confuse the
membership and to rally followers
to his banner.
For the moment we find, there
fore, although the forms may vary,
the opposition to the Comintern Ad-
dress is a concealed one. In other
words all of the opponents of the
Address profess their formal accep-
lance.
There exists some confusion as to
concealed opposition and a concilia-
tory tendency to the Address in the
sense that the concealed opposition
is partly for the Address and partly
not. The concealed opposition is
completely an opposition TO the
Comintern Address made in the
declarations in Moscow. It's plat
form is the platform of the declara-

By JACK STACHEL.

The opposition to the Comintern
Address from the very beginning as
sumed concealed form. Only in
Moscow did part of the majority
delegation headed by Lovestone, Git
low and Wolfe openly state its OPP
position to the Comintern Address.
The reason for the opposition in this
country from the very beginning TAX
ing on concealed form is quite OBJ
vious,-it is due to the overwhelm-
ing response of the Party member
ship in favor of the Comintern Ad-
dress and against those comrades
who in their anti-Party declaration
in Moscow represent direct at
tempt at preparing condition neces-
sary for paralyzing the carrying out
of the decision of the Comintern and
for split in the Communist Party
of America" The membership would
have nothing to do with any of the
former Party leaders who would not
declare that they accept and will
carry out the decisions of the Com
intern. For this reason all those
who in reality are opposed to the Ad-
dress did not dare come out openly
and state their opinions because they
knew that this would result in their
complete isolation from the Party
membership. They decided, there
fore, that it will be more profitable
to confuse the membership by their
formal statements of acceptance and
thereby receive the privilege from
the Party to carry on their concealed
opposition within the Party.
The recent belated statement of
Comrade Lovestone in Moscow, adj
dressed to the Polsecretariat Of the
Communist International, is a state
ment designed to catch up with this
situation in the American Party
that Comrade Lovestone finds him
self confronted with. He saw that
even his most "loyal followers" who
in reality are doing everything pos
sible to obstruct the decision, will
not be able to come out openly and
defend his position. He realized
that in order to remain the leader
of the opposition to the Cominterr
Address he must change his tactics
In doing this Comrade Lovestone
did not change his political line. But
what is more important, Comrade
Lovestone did not fool the member.
ship with his formal statement of ac-
ceptance which he prefixed by his
statement: while still maintain
ing disagreement with the Open
Letter and its organizational instruc.
tions and my conviction that they
will not prove helpful to the
Party. -. :"
Comrade Lovestone's eagerness to
tell the entire membership that he
still disagrees with the Cominterr
decision, the organizational instruc-
tions, and that he is convinced that
the Comintern decision will not be
helpful to the Party, is repetition
of his declarations made in Moscow
that the decision will prove
damaging to the Party. Surely the
membership will not believe that
Comrade Loyestone really wants
them to carry out the decision when
