this moment. The Geo report will
cover this. A new Party line means
that our Party must have a new
inner situation in which the enor-
nous tasks are confronting us, I'M
der conditions which still present
tremendous difficulties before us,
means that first of all we must Sc
cure complete Communist CONSOLE
dation of our forces. If we wish to
take birds-eye view of our Party
at this time we should call upon an
observer, the only sound
Judge of our Party in the last resort,
the Communist International. The
Comintern speaks of our Party as
beginning to turn into mass Party
of political action, guiding the poll
teal and economic actions of the
most advanced and most militant
ranks of the American proletariat.
The Comintern very properly speaks
of the number of fierce and stub
born class battles led by our Party.
There are comrades in this room,
delegates from the factories, from
the mills and mines, who have re-
ceived scars in these battles led by
rect when it says: Precisely in the
rect when it says: Precisely in the
period following the Convention of
1927 the Party has been acting with
increasing frequency as stalwart
leader of mass actions of the Amer
lean proletariat and has increased
it's influence among the native
workers.
Comrades, our work among the
fur workers, garment workers,
among the miners and textile work
ers, is good start, good begin
ming, but a very feeble beginning.
And in this work we have made
some very serious errors. 1t is the
task of this convention to pass
judgment on, these errors, and not
merely to pass judgment but to take
the necessary stops politically and
organizationally to make impossible
the recurrence of these errors. The
Gee, the Party under the leader
ship of the Geo, has made num-
Der of serious right errors since the
last convention. We have corrected |
some; others we still have to correct
more fundamentally. But this is up
to this convention. The Gee is con-
fident that this convention will take
the necessary and decisive steps to
make impossible the recurrence of
old errors ard to fight the Right |
danger in such way as to prevent
the poison Of opportunism from
seeping into our Party, into the
ranks of our comrades tremendous
"In the examination of some of
the difficult tasks confronting us,
there has arisen in the minds OF
some the question what is the Com
munist International The opinion
Of the Central Committee is that
the Communist International is the
central collective leadership of the
World Party, the World Party Of
which we are an organic part based
IN the best experience, based on the
most feminist conceptions. In our
Party the first prerequisite of be-
ing worthy of the name of Commu-
mist is unquestioned and unquestion-
able loyalty to the Communist Inter
national (Applause).
II have had occasion, as a rep
of our Party, to work
IN meetings of Commissions Of the
Communist International, in many
Plenary sessions of its Executive
and in the World Congress. know

This Party of ours
which has time and again had its
problems examined and evaluated,

strengthened by the Comintern's
criticism. Our Party which has
