Statement of the Board of Directors of the
Tyomies Regarding Hsloren's Attack.
UALoNEN'S betrayal of the revolutionary
!" movement of the working class has trans
formed itself into an open attack against the
revolutionary movement of the working class.
The political aims of Halonen are: l. To
sever all relations between the cooperative
movement of the workers and farmers from the
revolutionary class movement of the workers
and 2 Neutrality-the refusal to participate
in the every day struggles of the workers.
Behind these aims he has covered up his
open attack-manoeuvers against the only Revo-
lutionary Party of the proletarist, which he
now has taken up. His aims are the bour.
geosifcation of the cooperative movement
an effort to sever the cooperative movement
from being an organic part OF the class strug-
gle. His policy is petty-bourgeois independ-
neutrality-suspicious. in words, but dependence
on the bourgeoisie in reality.
Behind the phraseology Of democracy used
by Halonen are covered his real aims for con-
troll, i. e. the aims for control of a bureau
cratic group, which is not responsible to the
working class for its actions.
Party Aim in Co-ops.
Halonen initiated his attack against the
Tyomies and the Party in the name of the
Board of Directors, in spite of whether the
Board Of Directors will accept these state
ments of Halonen or not, and in spite the
fact that he himself is not at all member
of said Board of Directors of the Cooperative
Central Exchange. He has claimed the lie
hat the Party aims at crushing the cooper
alive movement.
What is the aim of the Party in regards
70, Ike
which in every mater and in every movement
fights for, the working class, does not aim at
The crushing of the cooperative movement of
the workers but on the contrary fights for the
control Of the workers and working farmers in
this movement and for the preservation of
the cooperative movement as a class move
ment Thus it becomes the duty of the Party
to fight for the masses against such petty
bourgeois individuals as Warbasse, Aanne,
Halonen and Rom. The Party fights their
bureaucratic clique control and their efforts to
bourgeoisify the cooperative movement. The
Party fights for destroying such a Chinese
wall Of isolation, which tends to separate the
cooperative movement from the class move
ment Of the working class, a tendency ex-
pressing itself in the nesting inside of the
cooperative movement of the tendencies Of
little petty bourgeois group. The only con-
trel of the cooperative movement in behalf
of the class conscious workers and working
farmers.
In his effort of developing his pety-bour-
yeois renegade line and of his betrayal of the
interests of the workers into an open attack
against the Party, Halonen at first gave out
lying circular letters, using at the same time
as his, instruments of attack counter-revolu-
tionary, renegade sheets-the "Raivaaja" and
the "Industrialist." Then his intention was
to publish his dispicabe, lying attack against
the Tyomies and the Party in the name of the
Board of Directors of the Cooperative Central
Exchange in the November issue of the "Pyra-
mid Builder" the English organ of the Co.
operative Central Exchange.
When this was discovered the responsible
functionaries of the Tyonies and the members
Of the Board of the Tyomies discussed the
matter and decided to take the following day
the matter of preventing the attack in the
Pyramid Builder" up in the meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Tyomies and thru
the Board of the Tyomies to take the matter
up with the Board Of the Cooperative Central
Exchange. Thus it was believed, the matter
viii be settled in every respect peacefully and
in accordance with the interests of the work
