Sometimes, through the carelessness of some
Of the poison mongers, some of the ingredients
leak through the wrapper. In such cases even
those workers whose analytical abilities ordin-

The true character of Lovestoneist propaganda.
The other day Lovestone emissary in Buff
falo spilled some of the contents of one of his
packages non-Party worker protested to
him against the Lovestoneite anti-Party and
anti-Communist international agitation. Hold
ing up the Counter-revolutionary Age, this
worker accused the Lovestoneite emissary of
attempting to destroy the Party and the Com
munist International. The emissary, a certain
stupid school teacher by the name of Bert
Miller was nonplussed for a moment and
blurted out: well, we rather see the Party
destroyed than have it controlled by the pres

aim of Loves.one and Lovestoneism. To de-

The meeting in which this happened had

Of sympathy toward the Party, is evidence of
some disagreement with the Party. Most of
these "sympathizers" disagree with the Party
IN discipline, and on the Partys unwillingness
TO swerve from the revolutionary class strug-

round to raise the issue of "too much discip-
lineY or of "dogmatism' he can always find
favorable reaction in the fundamentally anti
Party souls of such "sympathizers"
Lovestone knows that, and he attempts to
ud his business upon this knowledge. 1t is
n this basis that he endeavors to organize

One of his statesmen, Ben Lifshitz, reports
ne counter revolutionary Age about Balti-

defense of his action; but it is in reality
unanswerable accusation. 1t is an admis-
