organization of the Party? Is this
not enough to show that words are
useless if their spirit is not trans
lated into deeds?"
This contradiction shows clearly
the existence in our Party of a whole
series of social-democratic and syn
dicalist traditions and shows also
how many comrades are more in
clned to discuss than to work eff
fectively. Effective work is possible
only if our problems are clearly I'M
derstood, only if our discussions
rise out of reality, only if our
anlyses are based on the concrete
situation and not on mere impress
sions. Thus, and thus only, is it
possible to see the development of
the situation and to base on it the
tactics OF the Party and the organ
national measures necessary to car
ry out its work.
All these errors and weaknesses
show how great is the Right danger
in our Party and how necessary. it
is to fight against it in order to
strengthen ourselves ideologically
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-05

have already revolutionary situa-
ton, but is evinced also by the dis
content of the toilers which mani
tests itself in many industries, by
their lack of confidence in the mis-
leaders of the yellow trade unions,
by the increasing number of strikes,
by the expansion of the new Indus
trial Unions and even by the con-
cealed discomfort of those workers
who have mortgaged home and a
mortgaged automobile and are,
therefore, less inclined to express it..
(10) Many comrades who do
not understand the general situation
of the country, or they analyze it
from a provincial angle of view, thus
failing to grasp its close relation
ship to the international situation,
do not realize the danger of war and
the necessity of the new unions.
They talk about all this, they talk
about the necessity of defending the
Soviet Union and building the new
industrial unions, but in reality they
see the war far away and do not
intend to build the new unions.
Why? Simply because when they
analyze the crisis of capitalism they
forget 'little thing" they forget
that is to say-that the unity of the
economical world has been broken
by the Soviet Union, the sole exist
ence of which is contradiction
which they seek to solve through a
war against the u S. S. R. They
forget that the sharpening contra
dictions between the United States
and England and the whole series of
imperialist contradictions ushers in
new phase of the crisis. They do
not understand that this crisis in
tensifies the process Of radicaliza-
ton of the workers and emphasizes
the necessity of giving the Party
solid structure and of building new
industrial unions capable of organ
izing the radicalized masses.
Some comrades will say that they
understand all this. But | ask, "Why
then in many districts of primary
Importance do not exist shop nuclei?
Why our ranks do not unders land
the meaning of the Bolshevik re-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-05

large but even leading and active
comrades do not understand the
meaning of democratic centralism
and adhere to the Trotskyist ideol-
ogy according to which the Party
should be nothing else but club
for eternal discussions. That's why
in the Party's meetings and in the
meeting of organizations controlled
by US, formality plays so great a
role and comrades resort more than
often to procedure that smells of
petty bourgeois and social-demo-
cratic parliamentarism.
Freedom of criticism is often in
terpreted in bourgeois-democratic
manner and that's why some COM
rades controlling a workers club
went even so far as to tolerate a
lecture by an evangelist minister,
They thought that from the ensu-
ing discussion would spring up the
truth. This shows clearly how the
political education of the comrades
has been neglected and how the
Party has fallen short in explaining
Marxism, historical materialism and
above all-discipline.
Given the low theological level of
the comrades, discipline has been
understood and applied quite me-
chemically and has been resorted to
for fractional purposes. Dictator
ship, absolute fractional centralism,
Uninterrupted democratic central
ism and Misunderstood discipline
have created nothing but confusion.
(O Much has been said about the
problem of Americanization and yet
there are many comrades who do
not understand it clearly and hold
that in order to Americanize the
Party it is merely necessary to in
crease the number of American
born members. They failS to see
the impelling necessity of eliminat-
ing completely the federationist spi-
rit which was not annihilated by
the formal abolition of the old fed
erations. The language fractions
were not centralized and they con-
stituted, therefore, so many parties
within the party in which the fac
tional struggle found another issue.
(S) One of the most pernicious
errors that helped to rear the right

! p The long fractional struggle de-
veloped in the Party a strong per-
sonalism and an anarchist individu-
alism which prevented the comrades
from seeing the movement as a
whole. There was in the Party a
school of factional and personal
games" and an atmosphere of hys-
terra which shamelessly manifested
itself during the last Convention.
81 Because of the fractional strug-
gle the Party failed to study the in
ternal situation, the political and eco
nomical problems of the country,
ETC., and to accept the bourgeois and
chauvinist theory according to which
everything - even capitalism - is
specifically American in America.
A. Many comrades accepted for
fractional purposes the decisions of
the Communist International with
the mental reservation that only the
Central Committee of the American
Party was able to understand the
situation Of the United States. Many
other comrades who do not know
even today that the Communist In
ternational to which belongs the
leading Communist Party, the Party
of the Soviet Union, masters the
Marxist method of investigation and
does not look at the various prob
lens from a national angle of view.
These comrades have not learned
anything from the Comintern's mode
of dealing with the Italian, German,
Bulgarian, Hungarian and English
situations.
(5) The Party has utterly failed
to give the members a clear under
standing of the situation within the
Soviet Union so that, when Trotsky-
ism has already been liquidated in
every section Of the International
Cannc1 was able to confound some

Par. the Soviet Union many
of our comrades were not able to
see and expose his fractional specu-
lation, and when the bourgeois and
social-democratic press published
sensational articles about the So
Wet Union, groups of comrades
were unable to defend theoretically
the fatherland of the proletariat.
1t is not enough to discuss the sit
uation of the Soviet Union in our
conventions or in our National Of
flee: 1t is absolutely necessary to
explain it to all the members so as
to equip them with data and argu-
ments with which they may win to
our cause large masses of prole-
tartan elements influenced by the
bourgeois and social-democratic
press.

| theology within the Party was com.
mitted when it was stated that the
increased production of the United
States is normal development OF
capitalism. This increased produc-
ton is absolutely abnormal and il
is due to the great expansion Of
the productive power fostered by
the postwar crisis of world CAPT
talism. This increased production
is vitality necessary to American
capitalism. Given the monstrous
productive apparatus created dur
ing the war and Immediately after
ward, when the capitalist countries
of Europe were going through a
profound crisis, American capital
ism cannot reduce its production
without reducing at the same time
it's total profit, without causing q
further expansion of unemployment
which is already large enough ano
without producing a general discon-
tent that would spur the masses tc
the left.
But today the expansion of pro.
duction finds a serious obstacle in
the increased productive power OF
the European countries, and-in or
der to beat it's competitors on the
contracted world market and protect
its profit-American capitalism can
not increase its production without
rationalizing its industries, without
reducing wages, without extending
the length of the working day and
augmenting the intensity and pro
ductivity of labor, thus accelerating
the rehabilitation of the masses.
Many comrades talk about the
process of decentralization because
they cannot ignore it, but since they
do not understand it thoroughly,
they adhere to the social-democratic
theory, hold that naturalization is
also a normal development of CAPT
talism and deny at the same time
the rehabilitation of the masses.
They do not realize that the radical
ization of the masses is not evinced
solely by the march of millions of
workers along the streets of the in
dustrial cities because, if such a
march occurs and if its aim is the
overthrow of the capitalist state, we

Rv MARIO ALPI

For years the Communist Party
of the United States has been the
arena of an unprincipled struggle be-
tween two factions.
Now the Communist International
has realized that the Party was not
able to eliminate this struggle and,
having experienced how vain its re-
= iterated appeals have been, has fl
nally resorted to energetic meth
DDS laid down in the Address.
But the behavior of some former
leaders and specially the behavior
of Lovestone who has been expelled
by the Central Committee, has
clearly demonstrated how deeply the
petty bourgeois and opportunist
tendencies had rooted themselves
into the Party. Not only the head
was i'll but the whole body was not
well. The long factional struggle
had absorbed all the Party's energies
so that even today, five years after
the Fifth World Congress which
drew the line of the bolshevist re-
organization of all the Comintern's
sect ~~95 we find the American sec
ton aeped in confusion. Never
I beieve-in the whole history of
the Communist International has
any Party sent to Moscow so many
and so large delegations as the
American Party did, and it is partly
because of this fact that, in spite of
all the comrades sacrifices, we find
ourselves in the midst of a financial
crisis and most of our activities
must be devoted to the raising of
funds.
The Party, however, must and will
come out of this situation by follow
ing the line of the Communist Inter
national and by adopting the most
drastic measures against any one
who attempts to obstruct the pro-
cess of Bolshevization.
In order to be as brief as possible
I shall not analyze thoroughly the
Party general situation, but l shall
point out some of the Party's fun
damental errors and major weak
nesses that l have been able to no.
tice during my national tour of
propaganda which has given me an
opportunity to get in touch with our
ranks.
~ The Party has not carried out
any serious work of political educa-
ton to acquaint the members with
the political and revolutionary mean
ing of the Bolshevik reorganization.
There has been failure to direct our
comrades activities toward the mill
and the mine. Even today numer-
ous street units exist in many dis
tricts while there are mills and
mines in which are employed many
comrades who are not acquainted
with each other.

and organi2ationally and face the
situation of tomorrow.
1t is not with a conciliatory spirit
that the Party must be led, but with
energy and firmness. 1t is absolute.
ly necessary to fight against al
those who are still STEPPED in in,
dividualism, who do not want to gel
rid of the fractional spirit and cover
their opportunism with a super.
fetal Communist phraseology.
The most fundamental and most
urgent tasks of the Party in this
period are-in my opinion-the fol
lowing:
% Effective constitution o !
shop nuclei, mine nuclei, etc., anG
clear definition Of their tasks.
(2) Extensive political education
of the members in order to lift their
theological level by explaining the
international situation, the political
and economical situation of the
country, the problem OF democratic
centralism and of discipline, etc. con.
corning the life of the Party.
(3) Wide diffusion Of the Com
intern's Program so that all the
members may get acquainted with
it. Up to this day this has not
been done. Several months after
its publication the Program is not
known by our members. That
means that they are not equipped
with what constitutes the most eff
fectiye weapon against our enemies.
(4) Immediate and accurate elab-
Grafton of the Party's Program on
the basis of the Comintern's one.

text.

workers, Capitalization of all the

the several workers organizations
and definition of the general task
to be carried out by the foreign
born comrades among the workers

(6) Pitiless elimination of fac
tional mentality, carrying with it So
cial-democratic, syndicelist and an
archist traditions and displaying
super criticism which has nothing to
do with our sound Communist criti
cism. Such standpoints constitute
nothing but obstacles which must
be removed.
~ Preparation of new prole'
tartan leaders through rapid edu'
cation of young elements working
in the mills. Special educational
courses must be started and ele.
ments from the language fractions
must be called upon to attend them
(8) Betterment of the Party's
press, indicating the line that il
must follow in dealing with the ma.
tional and international situation,
with the trade unions problems and
with the reorganization of the
Party. The Party's press must be
more proletarian. 1t is necessary
to increase it's worker correspon-
dents.
/ Today the Party must have
more Bolshevik conscience, so that
it may face the future. The crisis
will cause, in this country, which
has productive power far above its
buying capacity, so large prole-
tartan end revolutionary movement
as to obscure all those recorded by
history.
The vanguard of the proletariat
must be ready, therefore, to face
all events. 1t must have an iron
structure that will make it possible
for it to go underground as soon as
the capitalist class will deem it
necessary to intensity It's reactions.
To lead the proletariat, the Party
must be g true Bolshevik Party, and
to be such it must, first of all, fol-
low the line of the Comintern, the
leading staff of Lenin's World
Party.
