BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23-Heavy liqui-
dation developed in today's stock mar
ket, carrying scores Of issues down 2
to points In reflection of the uneasi-
ness created by the announcement that
the Federal Reserve Board was meet
ing again in Washington. Fears that
the board would take further action
to restrict the volume of speculative
credit led to an abandonment Of pool
activity and the tightening Of many
speculative accounts by small traders.
Stop loss orders, which had been
placed just below the market by ner-
voue traders during the past week, were
touched off in large volume by short
selling, which was more aggressive. de-
spite the fact that the demand for
stocks in the loan crowd" recently
has been of large proportions.
Motors were liquidated rather freely
on reports that many dealers were over
stocked with cars, and that there had
been lessening demand for steel from
automotive manufacturers In the
Youngstown district. Selling OF the
coppers was inspired by unconfirmed
reports that the Newmont Co. had
liauidated a large block of its Kenne-
colt holdings.
International Telephone fell back
nearly Z points, Abraham g. Straus,

Insurance. Vanadium Steel Anaconda
Copper and General Electric lost 4

The Right Danger and Passivity in
Our Ranks

general Party campaigns. The questions of
organizing the unorganized are not discussed
at the meetings of these language fractions
and other burning questions are left aside,
never discussed. The question of organizing
the Negro workers never comes up at meet
ings of the language fractions. Not only that
they do not come up at meetings of the Ian
guage fractions, but time and again we found
cases where determinations have been placed
against the Negro workers, e.g. service in
our cooperative restaurants, where some
Party members have proposed to not serve
the Negro workers, because "that will drive
away some white workers." and thereby "break
down the business" of these restaurants.
We have been told by Lovestone, Gitlow and
Company that America is something aside from
world capitalism, something Exceptional" That
there is a rehabilitation of the working class
'but not in America" That the naturalization
under capitalism has only positive" results.
We have been told that world capitalism may
be reaching crisis "but not here in America"
Are we to be surprised that the comrades
could not see the masses moving towards the
left, when Lovestone and Company always told
us th-t this is mot happening in America?
Are we to be surprised when our members did
not respond to demonstrations which have been
carried and organized by the Party while
we still were under the social democratic influ-
ence of the Lovestone right wingers? No, not
at all. We are not to be surprised that our
langua fractions did function as language
groups and not as Communist fractions among
the unorgar;- 1 workers when the Lovestone
leadership trying to keep this foreign Ian
guage groups as groups for his fractional pur-
poses Many things we did not dare to criti-
CHE for fear Of being expelled not from the
Party, but from the Lovestone GROUP"
Our membership has been passive in the
past because of the social democratic right
wing influence upon the Party. The Comntern
was correct, as it always is, there was right
danger in our Party, only we could not see it
until it was pointed out to US by the c. /. Now,
while we can see the right danger in our
ranks, everywhere, in every one of our units,
we must fight that much harder, to tear it
out by the roots, if we want that our Party
shall not be tail end to the tremendous mass
struggles that are taking place and still COM
ing The Comintern in its Open Letter to
our convention said that "Our Party is on
sharp turn, from propaganda organization
to become mass Party" and we can see and
feel that Party will be able to meet the
oncomng struggles, not only meet, but lead the
workers in their fight against the capitalist
class and all its agents. be they open or con-
cealed. Our Party has shown already that
Lovestone and his $50 per cent" support dwn-
died down to 009fd, that the proletarian men,
bership has shown that it is a membership of
the C.P.U.S.A. and Comntern.
Now the time came to show that every Com
munist must be an active Communist or else
leave the Party.
