The Line of American Right Opposition
to the COruluteyw


has not only platform that clashes
fundamentally with the line of the
Communist international but he is
also fighting the organizational line
of the Comintern. The efforts of
Lovestone and others to discredit +
those that are vigorously fighting
for the line of the Communist In
ternational has not merely the OBJ
ject of weakening Party authority
so as to enable them to conduct I'M
challenged their miserable fractional
work but is part of calculated plan
to split up the Party and to build
an organization outside the Com
intern.
The right opportunists have lost
faith or are quickly losing faith in
the World Party of Communism
They are unable in the present third
period to maneuver around with the
World Party which has determinedly
set upon the course of Kidding itself
of obstructive opportunist elements,
of those who show no desire to
march together along the revolu-
tionary path of Bolshevik principles
and tactics. AS long as Lovestone
thought it possible to maneuver
around and through tricks of petty
bourgeois politiciandom maintain
the line which he has followed, he
declared that he would accept the
decision, of the Communist Interna-
tional irrespective of what that de-
cision might be. But when Love-
stone came face to face with the
fact that the Comintern will not
allow a continuation of the devast-
ating practices of the past, he re-
fused to submit to the will of the
Communist International and took
the next logical step of organization
against the c. l.
( Lovestone miscalculated upon the
development of our Party member
ship. The members in the course
of ten years of the existence of the
Party have developed ideologically
and understand the issues at stake
and despite the propaganda of op-
portunist elements they know that
the Communist International is the
real leader of the American Party.
The overwhelming response of the
Party to the Address of the Com
intern is proof of the correctness of
the line of the Communist Interna-
tional and the latter's confidence in
proletarian membership of the Par
ty that it would understand that it
was confronted with two lines-one
line for the Communist Information
al and for revolutionary policy and
the other line against the Commu-
mist international and for an oppor-
tunist policy.
Belated Echo of International
Rights.
,Lovestone is fighting futile bat
tie. His platform is a belated echo
of the International Right. This fight
has already been settled in the de-
cisive sections of the Comintern. Tie
rights in the Russian Party have
been decisively defeated. The 10Th
Party Conference showed that the
Party of the Soviet Union is firmly
for the line of the Central Commit
tee, for a decisive policy of class
struggle against the kulak elements,
for a rapid tempo of industrializa-
Ition. The Russian Party members
see in the policy of the rights pol
icy of pessimism, of defeatism, of
retreat before the capitalist ele-
ments, instead of the correct course
of overcoming the elements of cap
italist economy in the rapid march
of the iron battalions of the prole-
tariat.
In Germany, likewise, the rights
have been defeated as was shown
in the parliamentary election in
Saxony where the Brandlerists that
had always had their strongest posi-
ton in this district and who have
been the parliamentarians of the
Party in Saxony could secure only
twenty thousand votes as against
100000 for the Communist Party.
, In Czechoslovakia, likewise, the Par
ty membership has rid itself of the
opportunists without a long strug-
, gle.
The tactics of Lovestone, his
maneuvers, his aim to confuse the
Party by tricks of petty-bourgeois
politiciandom will not gain foot
hold among the membership. Those
that follow the course of Lovestone
will succeed only in making them
selves generals without an army.
