RESOLUTION OF
TROTSKYISM
AND RIGHT
DANGER

We, tho members Of Santa Clara
Subj District, at = general member
ship meeting to discuss the Fright
danger and Trotskyism in the
American Party" on Wednesday,
Dec. 26, 1928, adopt the following
resolution:
I. We intellectually endorse
the Nov. 16 statement OF the Cen
tral Committee against the Right
danger and Trotskyism in the Amer
ican Party and greet the prompt
and decisive measures which the G..
Z. c. has adopted in expelling Cam
non, Schachtman md Abern.
2. We pledge ourselves to carry
On an uncompromising struggle
against social-democratic, counter
revolutionary Trotskyism, which is
today the rallying center Of all the
enemies Of the Soviet Union and the
Communist International, which
represents in the United States a
cowardly capitulation before the
tremendous difficulties facing the
Communist Party-amounting to .
The daily worker., 1929-01-14

gers and all its manifestations.
We urge the Party to reject Trot-
skyism and defeat and liquidate the
Trotsky Opposition of Cannon.
We urge the membership to fol-
low and fight for the line Of the
Communist International.
We also support the statement
Of Aronberg, Bittelman and Foster,
Submitted to the Political Commit
tee on Oct. 16, and which appears in
the statement Of the C. E. c., "The
Struggle against Trotsky and the
Right Danger" which follows:
"It has become clear in recent
weeks that Comrade Cannon, sup
ported by Comrades Abern and
Shachtman, is carrying on activi-
ties leading to the capitalization of
Il Trotsky faction in our Party.
Comrade Cannon is making a polit-
ical platform of such propositions
as: keeping an open mind on the
question Of Trotskyism, studying
the question, spreading doubt as to
the correctness Of the C. I. attitude
on the question and urging the need
of re-examining it, etc.
"(2) Trotskyism has been cor
rectly condemned by the C. l. as a
The daily worker., 1929-01-14

Spanish workers, and our beginning
among the marine workers with the
organizing of the Marine Workers
Progressive League, gives us a base
for further work in reaching the
masses.
The successful fight against reac-
tionaries in the needle trades, as in
the formation of the N.O.C. unions in
Los Angeles and San Francisco; our
stubborn and continued fight in the
huilding trades, show the possibili-
ties for work among the masses.
Through intensified activities and
full mobilization of our Party forces,
as we'll as those workers close to US,
we will be able to efficiently mobil-
izo our forces against the Right
dangers and the Trotsky Opposition.
We will be able to hammer out a
strcng Rolshevist feminist Party to
meet the war danger, particularly
here on the Pacific Coast. e.,
II. The District Committee goes
on record in full accord with the
line of the Communist International
aid the decisions of the Comintern.
We urge all Party members to

social. democratic and counter-revo-
lutionary tendency. Trotskyism en-
ploys Left phrases to cover up Right
deeds. Comrade Cannon's variety
of Trotskyism in the United States
constitutes tendency to develop
a Right wing orientation for the
American Section of the C. l., un-
der cover of reopening for discus
sion the c. I. attitude on the ques-
ton of Trotskyism.
"(3) The main dangers in our
Party, as in the C. l., come in the
present period from the Right. The
Minority is committed to an uncom-
promising fight against the Right
danger in our Party, no matter from
where it comes or under what COW
ers it makes it's appearance.
40 The Minority therefore
completely disassociates itself from
Comrade Cannon and those who hold
similar views. The Minority decides
to wage a merciless fight against
this Trotskyist maneuver of Com
rade Cannon and to wage this fight
as an organic part of it's general
struggle against the Right danger
and the Right. wing of our Party
(the Lovestone group)."

SERB DICTATOR

Latest News Says All
Unions Are Banned

VIENNA, Jan. 13.-With a COM
plete censorship existing thruout
Yugoslavia, clapped upon foreign
correspondents, and all outgoing
mail censored, news reaching here
from Melegrade, the center of the
military dictatorship, is fragmen-
tary.
News that came thru yesterday
stated that all trade unious were
banned, the headquarters of the
more militant unions raided and
many officials jailed. The same
terror is exercised by the military
dictatorship thruout the country,
especially against the peasants and
the national minorities who are
clamoring for autonomy. News
Papers which print anything but
praise of the bloody dictatorship
are Immediately confiscated. The
latest case Of which there is news
is that of the Novosti, leading bour-
geois paper in Belgrade, whose edi-
tion was confiscated yesterday for

6. The attempt of the C. E. C.
in its statement to link up the Min
ority of our Party with the Tlotsky
Opposition, because of its accepting
the Communist International de-
cision of the Sixth World Congress,
with the understanding that we will
further discuss the American ques-
t!on at the convention, fact which
was authorized by the C. l., makes
the Minority (the Foster group and
those who disassociated themselves
from the Cannon group) the main
danger IN the Party.
By this line the c. E. C. lays the
basis of eXterminating and expelling
the Minority from the Party.
The C. E. c. statement further
confuses the fight against the Right
danger by pointing out alleged err
rors in California District regard
ing the election campaign, as in the
case of stating that "their retreat
in face of the great difficulties con-
fronting them in this task" and the
statement that white chauvinism re-
earding Negro work exists in the
district. These are unfounded state
ments.
Also, in failing to state that Com
rade Wolfe instructed the C. E.
c. to issue the Open Letter to the
socialist party challenging them to
debate.
These show tendency of un-
Communistic methods Of self-crit-
icism; weaken the fight against the
Right danger and the Trotsky dan
ger, and gives support to an unprin-
cipled Opposition that had been
fighting the D. E. c. in this district.
This unprincipled Opposition to
the D. f. C. is clearly shown in the
fact that this Opposition has al
ways accepted the line of the DEC,
S. The statement of the C. E. C.
that there does not exist any Shop
Nuclei in this district is not correct.
| 4 Shop Nucleus has existed in the
Southern Pacific Shop in San Fran
cisco and we have had several Camp
Nuclei in the lumber industry.
We have consistently made every
effort to build up our connections
with the workers in the shops and,
as in the continued work at the auto
shops and the cotton mills in Oak
land, the records will show that the
unprincipied Opposition has con-
stantly interfered and hampered Che
district committee.
The c. E. c. in permitting the
internal conflict between Districts
is and l2, regarding the initiation
of members in the lumber industry
in California, by Walking Dele
gates" from District. IL has inter-
fered with the establishment of func-
tioning and building up of Camp

complete retreat before the strength
Of American imperialism.
3. We recognize that in the pres
cnt objective situation the. Right
danger-outright opportunism-is
the main danger and Trotskyism in
its present-the last-stage Of its
development is, in spite of its left
phraseology, really opportunist to
the core.
q. We furthermore recognize the
great danger of outright opportun-
ism manifested in our District Ex-
ccutive Committee District 13).
(a) Looseness of attitude toward
the socialist party addressing an
open letter to the state executive
committee of the socialist partly T;
(b) inactivity in Negro work lin the
entire district only three Negro
comrades); (c) lack of activity in
anti-imperialist work Failure to
demonstrate our support to the
movement in Nicaragua; (d) lack
Of faith in the role Of the Party
and especially in the membership
failure to put the Party on the bal
lot in the last election campaign); !;
~ complete failure in building the
international Labor Defense and
the W. I. R.; (g) organizing relief
conference for the striking miners
in Colorado and not including relief
for Pennsylvania, E. Ohio miners,
and complete neglect to assist the
The daily worker., 1929-01-14

Nuclei in the lumber industry and
has therefore retarded any move
ment to organize that industry.
9. Although Trotskyism has not
been able to get foothold in Cali
fornia, because of our struggle
against il, we will continue to carry
on both an theological and organ
national struggle against it, to pre-
vent any possibility of its getting
on q foothold.
The danger from the Right in this
District comes from the incorrect
estimation of the labor party, as
presented in an article by Comrade
Ettlinger during the election cam
uaign and which we asked that it
lie not published in the Daily
Worker, and the violation of Party
democratic centralism by the con-
tinued fight against the D. E. c.,
which was given objective and. at
times, direct support by the C. E. c.
and which the C. E. C. has at no
time assisted the district suffi-
GENTLY to fight this danger, which
| as been existing for two years and
more.
10. The District Committee
pledges itself to continue the sue
cessful fight against Trotskyism on
The one hand, and against the Right
dangers on the other hand.
In order to carry on these struo-
giles, the District Committee will
analyze carefully our work and fur
ther mobilize our membership for
more intensive work among the
masses.
| In our anii-imperialist work, al
though we have taken a lead in the
work among the Chinese and Japa-
nese workers, still we have not yet
sufficiently made the large non-Par-
ty organizational gains to build up
strong anti-imperialist committees.
This work must be intensified.
We must be able to overcome our
shortcomings in not being able to
build up more shop nuclei and
stronger ones where they exist.
The election campaign and the re-
suits of same have shown that we
have made concrete results in spite
Of the fact that we have not gotten
on the ballot. However, it must be
pointed out, had we gotten on the
ballot, it would have been a major
success for our Party as a whole.
The line in our campaign to further
Utilize our experience so that we
can Immediately proceed after the
election campaign to place the Party
officially on the ballot, is now be-
ing worked out in detail by the Dis
trict Executive Committee.
These activities and our penetra-
tion among the lumber and agricul-
tural workers, as is seen in the or
ganizing of a nucleus among the

100000 BRITISH
WORKERS STARvE
Unemployment Worse
Since General Strike

LONDON, Jan. 13.-"We Refuse
to Starve in Silence" "To He'll With
Your Charity" "We Are Standard
Bearers of Millions of Starving"
'Bread or Revolution" are the de-
fjant slogans carried by thousands
of unemployed from all parts of
England, Scotland and Wales in
their march upon London to demon
strate before Premier Baldwin's Of
fee in Downing st. in protest
against the governments indiffer-
ence to the demands Of the esti-
mated 100000 iobless.
Fearing the outcome of the
march ard cognizant Of the threats
implied in the slogans of the march
eTs, the government is sparing no
effort to prepare for the demonstra-
ton, and it is reported that plans
have been completed whereby de-
tachments of troops and special po-
licemen will be on hand to "regu-
late the marcn.
! So desperate is the condition of
the unemployed, however, that they
are prepared to defy the police and
troops, il necessary, if their entry
to Downing st. is challenged. Many
Of the nlarchers remember the at
tacks of the police on similar DEM
onstrations conducted by the unem-
! ployed Immediately after the post
war depression rocked Great Bri-
tain. But the memory of police
clubs does not lessen the determin-
alton of the marchers to present
their demands to the conservative
government.
The first contingent of the march
ers will start from Glasgow on jan
uary %. Groups will meet in Lon
don and converge on Whitehall,
where the banners of the demon
strators will be carried to the prime
minister's home.
"It is heartless and cruel" the
Times comments, humanity is suf-
ficient reason to condemn the march
Of those Communist organizations
planning it."
Unemployment, the marchers hold
in their demands, has reached the
stage whereby it may be considered
u national crisis, and work or main
tenance, increased dole allowances
and the reduction Of the miners day
in six hours are on the charter.
