king, will continue the war pre-
parations against the Soviet Union
together with his party comrades,
Mueller of Germany and Boncour of
France.
"The second great contradiction
of the present period is the growing
revolutionary movement in the col
onial and vassal countries. The
third contradiction is the intensifi-
cation of the antagonism among the
imperialist powers, particularly the
Anglo-American antagonism. The
British Macdonald government
means no pacifist democratic era nor
liquidation of the Anglo-American
antagonism.
Growing Internal Contradictions.
"At the same time the internal
contradictions in the capitalist coun-
tries are intensifying parallel with
the proletarian will to fight. The
present year has been characterized
by labor struggles everywhere.
Under the leadership of the Com
munist Party the working masses
are clearly taking up a counter-of-
| fensive.
"The economic struggles are in
creasingly taking on a political char
acter. Among the major tasks of
the German Communist Party is the
fight for the hegemony of the work
ing class. The successful conclusion
of this struggle is the most i'm
portant condition for the final vic
tory of the proletariat.
Fight Against Right Wing.
"a merciless struggle against the
right wing is necessary. The May
Day events proved the development
of the masses to a higher political
stage of the class struggle and show
ed the swift development of the
social democrats into an open So
cial-fascist party.
"The great significance of the
May events consists in that it has
given the Party the possibility of
utilizing the experience of the May
struggles in non-acute revolution
airy situation for preparing the
Party for armed instruction in an
acute revolutionary situation. The
May Day events prove that social
democracy has developed from social
chauyinism and social nationalism
to social imperialism and now to So
cial fascism. The threats of the
social fascists to establish a dicta-
torship means danger of fascist capt.
talist dictatorship against the pro-
letariat.
Two Congresses
"The Magdeburg social demo-
cratic congress was a congress of
ministers, police presidents, high
state officials and trade union fax
ers, whereas the Congress of the
Communist Party in the proletarian
Wedding district is the exact oppo-
siss-the real representative of the
revolutionary German proletariat.
Wedding and McCdeburg are two
worlds: en- the one hand, the world
bourgeoisie, capitalism, imperialism
and war preparations against the
Soviet Union; and on the other hand,
the Wedding May Day barricades,
proletarian revolution, defense of
the Soviet Union, preparation of the
proletariat for armed insurrection
TO the overthrow of the capitalist
system and the establishment of the
dictatorship of the proletariat.
"The struggle against opportun-
ism is urgently necessary. Without
cleaning the Party ranks from OPP
portunism it is impossible to win
the masses, impossible to win the
final victory. The expulsion of the
right wingers strengthened the Com
munist Party, but the cleansing
process is not yet finished. The
right wing role is now held by the
conciliators. The attitude of the con-
ciliators at the Party Congress, par
ticularly the speeches of Ewert and
Meyer, show the conciliators now
occupied the position of the right
wing and had formed a new right
wing fraction in the Party.
Must Warn Cone..,iators.
"The Party must warn the con-
ciliators that if they continue their
activities theJ will share the fate
of the expelled liquidators. The
Comintern is the Communist World
Party, whereas the ocial-derlocratic
parties are independent nationalist
parties. Unlike the social democracy
each section of the Comintern is
completely independent from bour-
geoisie, from trust capital and fl
nance capital.
"The delegation of the Communist
International is convinced that the
Communist Party Congress will give
a clear Marxist-Leninist analysis of
the situation, will exercise sharp
self criticism, will carry out the
tasks before it and justify the hopes
of the German and the international
proletariat.
"Long live the Communist Party
of German! Long live the Commu-
mist International! Long live the
world proletarian revolution!"
Storms of applause greeted the
conclusion of Scenarios speech, the
delegates rising and joining in the
