The Communist Party of Great
Britain is about to open ats ma
tionuI conuentio7,-one of the most
important of its history. The Cen
trail Executive Of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America
has sent to the convention of the
British Communist Party the fol-
lowing letter:
To the Party Convention of the
Communist Party of Great Britain:
Dear Comrades:
The Central Executive Commit
tee of the Workers (Communist)
Party of America greets the conven-
ton of its British brother party
with the warmest feelings Of Com
munist solidarity.
The Communist Party of Great
Britain is one of the most impor-
tant sections of the entire Commu
mist International. It is carrying
on a valiant struggle against one
of the most mighty, most dangerous
of the imperialist powers. Many
problems of your Party have direct
bearing upon the issues facing our
Party. The questions of the rela-
tons of the Communist Party to the
Labor Party, the problems of new
unionism, the tasks of combating
the disastrous effects of capitalist
naturalization, the problems arising
from chronic unemployment, the
struggle against the theology of
Mondism, the fight against the evil
spirit of social reformism-all these
problems, growing out of British
conditions and occupying a central
place in the life of your Party, offer
at the same time significant lessons
fer the American Party. We have
consequently, followed with the ut
most interest the recent discussion
in your Party on these problems.
"Headlong to the new World
War"-tfnsH~is the keynote of the
theses of our Central Executive
Committee, which we shall submit
to the National Convention of our
Party to be held soon after your
Party convention. The menace of
second world war is looming up
bigger than ever before since 1914.
The many-sided antagonism on all
fronts between Great Britain and
tie United States of America is to-
day the axis of the imperialist worlC
situation just as the antagonism be-
tween Germany and Great Britain
was in 1914. The most outstanding
feature of the recent development
of the international situation is the
unprecedented rapid growth of An
glo American antagonism. All
events of imperialist world politics
have proved the absolute correctness
of the analysis Of the Sixth World
Congress of the Communist Inter-
national, which stated that the men
acingly growing external contradic-
tons of the worldwide system of
imperialism constitute today the
primary force determining the
course Of the policies of all imper-
ialist countries. The transfer of the
economic center of capitalism from
Europe to America and the growing
efforts of Europe to liberate itself
from the economic domination of the
United States leads inevitably to
the greatest of all catastrophes. The
tremendous growth of the power of
American imperialism brings into
bold relief the growing dispropor-
ton between the. economic growth
and power of American imperialism
and its 'lack" of colonies and its
insufficient" military preparedness.
The economic decline of British i'm
perialism is in sharp contrast with
the political power of the British
Empire, with it's huge colonial mon
opoly. The final struggle between
