cause the degeneration of American
capitalism and will dig the grave
for its destruction.
Today American imperialism re-
ceives the lions share of super
profits of the world. These super
profits permit it to corrupt the la
Dor aristocracy of the U. S. They
account to a large degree for the
backwardness and conservatism of
the American working class. How
ever, the pressure of the bourgeois
theology upon the masses will be
short Lived. The very course of de-
velopment Of capitalism, the in
classification of contradictions be-
tween capitalist states will forge
the weapons with which the social
imperialist illusions will be smashed.
Chief Problems of Party.
In the present period our Workers
(Communist) Party is confronted
with two main problems:
1. World war danger, the key to
the international situation, is also
the axis around which revolves the
correct estimation and direction of
our Party.
2. The Right danger is the main
danger in the inner life OF the
Party.
When thinking of our Party in
America one necessarily meets with
the following paradox: in the citadel

The disproporticn between the con-
tinued growth Of production and
contraction Of world markets in
various capitalist countries, inten-
sites and multiplies international
contradictions of imperialism and
inevitably heads to a new series of
imperialist wars. The present
period of partial "stabilization" is
growing into period of cataclysms.
The road to the coming general
crisis and explosion of capitalism
is blazcd by a complex of contra
dictions:
a. International: antagonisms be-
tween capitalist states, also be-
tween capitalism and the U. S. S. R.
b. Internal (for each country:
intensification of the class-struggle;
increase in the rate Of exploitation;
rapid development of capitalist ra-
tionalization; growth Of unemploy-
ment; worsening OF the standard of
living of the proletariat; ruination
of the petty-bcurgoisie; but also the
resistance of the workers
expressing itself in the swing of
the working-class masses tn the
Left; the strengthening of the posi-
ton of Communism in the interna-
tional labor movement.
c. Colonial liberation movements,
such as in China, India, Egypt.

The Sixth Congress of the c. L
analyses postwar imperialism as
consisting of three periods.
The first period was that of the
acute crisis Of capitalism and of the
direct revolutionary action of the
proletariat of Europe (Which on the
one hand eliminated in the pro-
letarian dictatorship, over sixth
of the globe and on the other hand,
primarily Que to the treachery of
social democrats, in number of
severe defeats Of the Western-E
ropean proletariat). This period
ended in 1923, with the defeat of
the German proletariat.
Second and Third Periods:
The second period was "the period
lof gradual and partial sterilization
Eof the capitalist system, of the pro-
Icesses of restoration" of capitalist
economy, cf the general capitalist
offensive and Of defensive battles
fought by the proletarian army
weakened by severe defeats" Also
f'the period of rapid restoration in
The USSR ana of extremely impor-
liant successes in the work of build
ing up Socialism," This period
ended when European imperialism
cached its rre-war production, and
vixen the USSR reached it in
humber of basic industries.
The third, the present period, is
he period typified by "the rapid
development of technique, acceler-
hted growth of cartels ard trusts,
IF tendencies towards state capt..
,lism, and at the same time the
period of intense development of

tails: The C. I. would certainly not
tolerate such condition. However,
insofar as the Minority is con-
cerned, the C. I. can we'll trust the
membership of the American Party
to take care of such unprincipled
orientation of reservations.
Unity Greatest Need.
The Party is now in the greatest
need for unity of al truly Commu-
mist forces, for determined strug-
gle against the war danger, against
the Right danger, against Trotzky-
sim, against reservations, against
factionalism, for the further pro-
standardization and Bolshevization
of our Party, for further elimination
IF bureaucratism, for greater self
criticism and greater attention to
the organization OF the unorganized
and the Negro work, for iron disci-
pine and for thoro princ;pled orien-
tation in every phase of Communist
work.
Unity of all Communist forces is
necessary in order to best put the
Party on the rails of mass Com
munist Party, which it must become
and which il will become if it will
continue its newly established rev.
dictionary tradition of being stall
wart leader of masses in their
struggles against capitalism.

Long Live the Comintern! On to the

Permanent Factionalism
From its very inception our Party
was cursed with a special brand of
factionalism, the American type. If
we may call it, permanent factional-
ism. That is. the Minority at the
convention remains caucus for the
entire year, functioning as a self
sufficient organization, to an ex-
tent, as Party within the Party
(for example, the Withholding of
the information from the Polcom by
Comrade Aronberg, Costrel, ETC.,
was due to the fact that they placed
the role and needs of their caucus
above those of the Party.
Events have their own logic. So
We see that for the Minority the
mountain of factional blindness
gave birth to the mouse of reserva-
tons from the line of the Comintern

argument is made in favor of it.:
Its no reservation, since the C. l.

that is, the elected leadership of
the American Party, to parade with
an American reservation" a..
A reservation in regard to the esti-
nation of the role as a world factor
of the dominant imperialist world
power; (2). A reservation from
the policies laid down for the coun-
try in which the Party is charged
with the responsibility of carrying
out these policies). The answer is
self-evident, not only to every Party
member, not only to Young Work

disrespect to the general member
ship as well as to the Communist
international. / hope every Party
member, especially those of the Mi
nority, read it. They need no other
proof of the unprincipled fractional
strife that is being carried on by
the Minority.

judgment, and now the leader of

"unfounded" accusations and de-

1 FEW QUESTIONS TO

al. The question of Party lead
ership was not handled correct
ly.. :"
Comrade Bittelman, can you
point out any leadership of our
Party that handled anything cor
rectly. Il mean the leadership
with which you were in direct OPP
position). Can you tell us what
should be the correct approach"
for a Observation-Disclosures lead
ership?"
'2. Comrades Lovestone and
Pepper, and the other leading
comrades of the Majority, con-
tinue to hang on to their Right
opportunist orientation and per-
spective. The leaders of the Ma
jority stuhbornly persist in their
theory that the analysis of the
vi World Congress of the pres
ent third period of postwar
capitalism and the tactical orien-
tation which follows from it, do
not apply to the United
States. )"
Why in hell, / ask you, do you
stick to that "unfounded" accusa-
ton calling the Central Executive
Committee Fright" and "oppor-
tunistic" in direct contradiction of
the Communist international and
against the decision of the over
whelming majority of the Party
membership? Did not the MEM
bership reject your "unfounded" ac-
cusations?
On what documentary ground
did you make this accusation that
"the Majority continue to hang on
to their Right opportunist orien-
tation and perspective? And
most Of all, Comrade Bittelman,
when and where did the Majority
claim any reservation or exemption
from the decisions of the vi World
Congress for the American Party?
Why did you not base this Cab
solutely groundless) accusation on

in regard to social composition and
numbers. This condition has prob
ably it's roots in the fact that our
Party is shameful reflection of
the general backward condition of
the American working-cl To be
sure, this disproportion will be
overcome in the fire of acute and
profound class struggles ahead.
The Workers (Communist) Party is
the only workers political party in
america; the only party standing
on the firm basis of class-struggle.
1t is the only organized force in
America that is able to mobilize and
lead vast proletarian masses to sue
cessful achievements, as the pre-
liminary skirmishes (Passaic, Pits
burgh, New Bedford, etc. have
proven.
The building and strengthening
of the Party structure must be di-
rected into the main stream of the
industrial proletariat: the basic in
dustries; the huge factories, mill
and mines. The very large fac
tories of the country must become
the citadels of strength for our
Party and for Communism.
Our Party did not go thru the
fire of revolutionary situation. In
periods of crisis the consciousness,
devotion, determination, self-sacri-
flee and heroism of a vanguard are
tested. The brutal and tyranical
American bourgeoisie will amply
favor us with experiences" How
ever, the Party must prepare for
