Statement OF the Central Committee Of the Communist Party OF the u

ever this danger arises in propo-
sails and actions in contradiction. to
the revolutionary line and of the
Party. Lovestone sheds tears about
the bygone days in which the Right
danger supplied him with a fractional
issue against his opponents and
where he could, without q culver of
his conscience, hide and suppress all
manifestations of Right tendencies
within the ranks of his own faction
He sees the Party taking serious the
war danger. He sees the agitation
and propaganda of the Party con-
cretized in the mobilization for In
ternational Red Day on the 1st Of
August. He sees the line of the
Comintern put into action and bring
ing results and he is making des-
perate effort to defend his line, the
line of maintenance of factionalism
and the substitution of his right line
for the line of the Comintern and
the Parry. 1t is exactly realiza-
ton of this that makes him so des-
perate and that dictated to him this
appeal. Only thus can the spirit of
vindictiveness be understood which
dominates this document. Only thus
can the pettiness be explained with
which this so-called appeal to the
Comintern is formulated.
The Comintern and the Party will
answer this latest effort as it has
all his other attempts to deviate the
Party from the line of the Com
munist International.
The Party is correcting its errors.
The Party is closing its ranks. The
Party is intensifying it's activity on
every front. The Party is going for
ward towards carrying out the great
tasks that stand before it.

lation of documents only as eau
Gus in defiance of the authority Of
the Party and of the CT.
The Central Committee of the
Party, the responsible leading body
of the Party is exercising its author
ity and duty-in spite of Lovestone.
1t has answered Lovestone's split
ting tactics through the Political
Committee and will answer as de-
cisively in it's coming plenary ses-
sion.
Precisely at time when the Pc
litical Committee of our Party has
become a real leading body, discus
sing the policies and tactics of our
Organization, Lovestone complains of
the liquidation of the Polcom. AS
long as he confined the activities of
the Polcom to rubber stamping the
decisions of his faction, he had no
fault to find with the functions of
the Polcom. But when the Polcom
begins to disregard the interests of
his faction and consider only the
problems of the Party, then his ire
is aroused and he raves of "degen-

one could laugh at the knight of

Quixote Lovestone, whose mind and
body are still wandering in the far
gone past and who tries to force
the condemned and dead practices of
the past into the healthy pulsating
Party life of the present.
Our Party has entered a new life.
Its inner-relationships are re-orien-
tated from fractional groupings, fac
tional sympathies and antipathies to

I'm Old Siberia" Striking
Film OF Exile Under Car

THE following is a joint statement
by J. U. Reisman, director, and
S. acknowledgements of "In Old
Siberia" the Sovkino Film at the
Cameo Theatre for its premiere
showing.
"The events depicted in this film
are fictitious events. The characters
too are fictitious. Yet these men
and these events have been put on
the screen as result of our sincere
conviction that only by the use of
such fictions shall we be able to
give a typical and striking picture
of the old Siberia.
"While working on the scenario
and the film, we studied good deal
of historical material made available
through the kind cooperation Of the
Society of Political Prisoners, and
the editors of their penal magazine.
"Our prisa warden, Illarion Os-
trobelo, is a composite of historical
and notorious jailers such as vi
sotzky, Obolyanov and Golovkin.
And the central figure among the
revolutionists, Illya Bertz, stands
for the Sazonovs, the Maslovs and
other famed martyrs of exile.
Beyond the prison invented for
the screen, loom up the Central
Alexandrovsky Prisno, the Kutomar,
the Kishinev and the Oryol peniten-
tiaries.
"The film does not abound in
events, in story; most of the work
has been put into establishing sep
arate episode scenes and situations.
Yet the cumulative effect of these
episodes was intended as that Of a
steadily mounting drama.
"We did not intend to give nat
uralistic portrayal Of prison life
with all of it's minute details. Our

marks of Lovestone's appeal not
withstanding, the Party carries on
widespread mass activities, is in
tensely active in the offensive strug-
giles of the textile workers in the
South. 1t is now organizing the
defense of the frame-up victims in
Gastonia. 1t is organizing the de-
tense not merely as legal techni-
cality but in the form of mass agi-
tation among the American workers,
mobilizing the American workers for
defense through more conscious
action in the class struggle. The
Party is active in all fields of in
dustrial struggles in spite of the
persistent efforts of Lovestone and
his handful of followers to paralyze
its activities, to sabotage its work,
to misdirect its energies and to
split it's organization. The Party
has suffered too long from the para
lying influence of factionalism. 1t
is too keenly aware of the danger
of opportunist and petty bourgeois
theology in this present period of
struggle. That is why the Party is
ready and able to defeat Lovestone's
maneuvers and propaganda. 1t is
just this readiness of the Party to
defeat him that irritatss Lovestone
most. He sees that his agents and
emissaries who defy the Comintern
Decision, no violate Party instruc-
tions, who counterfeit Party policies,
are taken to task by the nuclei, by
the section committees and by the
District Committees. In every case
of such anti-Party activities these
local Party bodies took the initia-
tive in removing the insubordinate
official or functionary. Lovestone is
peeved by the effectiveness with
which the Party and all its units
are fighting all manifestations of
the Right danger concretely wher-
