the Scandinavian Parties; Brandler
and Thalheimer. 1t was clear that
Lovestone and Gitlow, however val
liable to the Party, were a liability
to the Party when they could not ac-
cept Communist discipline.
Speculation does not pay in the
Communist internationally leads
to destruction. Speculation on what
will happen in the Russian Party;
speculation ON what the IS per cent
of the American Party membership
would do that supported the majority
in the Party controversy! The
comrades forgot that this majority
of IS per cent was built on the
theory that we were not only more
loyal" but loyal to the Communist
International and that if we wished
to be Marxians, we had to correct
our theory and policies on the basis
Of the experiences of the best revo-
lutionary experience in the world
that of the Communist International;
that our practices had to be in con-
forrpity with those of proletarian
revolutionists and not of specializing
politicians.
The functionaries meeting in
Cleveland on June Is demanded that
Lovestone, Gitlow and Wolfe not
only accept but endorse the decisions
of the Communist International be-
fore they shall be allowed to return
to work in the Party. The same de-
mand must be made C them that
was made of Zinoviev and Kamenev.
Although the struggle in the Ameri-
can Party has not taken on the same
form as that in the Russian Party
in 1926-27, nevertheless for the
American Party it is suicidal to &C
cept any leadership that does not
recognize that the Communist Inter-
national decision is correct and no
matter how much it hurts, it must
be accepted and endorsed as the
correct one.
For myself, when the decision was
given to me in an abbreviated form,
l declared that it was impossible;
when it appeared in full form in the
Daily Worker, with the analysis and
exposition, it was different. 1t ex-
planned, it elaborated, it brought for
ward the proper position as the Com
munist International understands it,
and as the membership must under
stand it.
Has the majority suffered a de-
feat and the minority a victory +?
The Party has victory in corrected
line and loss in the detection as
yet of few of the leaders. 1t would
be well for the Party if they cor
rected their views and returned to
Party work. They have destroyed

BY ISRAEL AMTER.

No comrade, not even those who
still share the illusion that the posi-
ton of Co,--rades Gitlow, Wolfe and
Lovestone is correct, will state that
the decisions of the Communist In.
ternational as embodied in the Adj
dress to the Party is Incorrect. Some
of them-particularly those of the
former majority-complain that
some of the names used against the
leaders of the majority are very
harsh and are such as to discredit the
former majority leadership. Some of
them complain that although the
Communist International categoric-
ally declares that it does not and did
not intend to hand over control of
the Party to the former minority,
nevertheless the very decisions of
the Communist International do put
control in the hands of the minority.
This illusion, all of US at the Party
convention shared. We declared that
regardless of the words of the deci-
sion, the Communist international
is working in a diplomatic, suave
manner to take control out of our
hands. We decided that it would be
the worst thing that could happen
to the Party. We had been the
creators of the Party. We were
those who through various struggles
in the Party had been considered
more loyal and closer to the views
of the Comintern. We were the
Bolshevik group in the Party-and
through the various fractional con-
troversies were stamped as the
MARKHAM trunk"
In the last controversy, when the
Communist International found the
right wing danger that was crop
ping up in our Party and manifested
itself in the ranks of the former
majority and former minority. When
the Comintern found that the Party
was moving fast to the right, then
an analysis had to be made-on the
basis Of the Sixth World Congress
decisions. Was the majority so cor
rect? Was the minority correct?
The Communist International found
that neither was correction the
contrary, both of them were wrong,
and the Communist International
realized that even though the source
Of the opportunist viewpoint of each
group was different one, neverthe-
less each one was source Of danger
to the Party.
Before and at the Party conven-
ton, it was impossible for either
group to recognize it's mistakes.
Both groups were filled with a per-

vention did not consider the resolu-
ton.
The delegations went to Moscow.
They discussed and debated. A free
for-all-but the situation became all
the clearer to the Communist Inter-
national the more the delegations
discussed. Here was an acute disease
-factionalism, which made it i'm
possible to cure the Party but by a
serious operation. That operation
meant a condemnation of all non
Communist practices, views and poll
cies; it means a condemnation of in
dividuals who embodied these prac-
tees. The resolution beca m e
sharper when those who were guilty
of the practices and policies insisted
upon their point of view.
Where was the MARKHAM trunk?
Where was the loyalty to the Com
munist International Where was
the pledge to the Convention and the
Communist International that no
matter what the decision of the Com
munist International would be, it
would be accepted by the delega-
ton?
Flown to the winds! Communist
discipline was forgotten; Communist
policy. was thing Of the past. The
leaders of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Gitlow and Wolfe-forgot that they
were in Communist Party-forgot
that the Communist International is
a revolutionary Observation-Disclosures
that the Communist International
must insist upon revolutionary Com
munist discipline or it is no longer
a Communist Observation-Disclosures
that others had criticized and as
saulted the Communist International
in the same manner and soon found
themselves in direct opposition to
the Communist international fight
ing the Comintern, from the view
point of an enemy of the Communist
international.
To date. Gitlow and Wolfe have
not changed their position. Love-
stones acceptance" is no acceptance.
1t is call to the Party membership
not to engage actively in carrying
out the Comintern's policies, but to
be neutral. Specializing on what :?
On what the right tendency in the
Russian Party are specializing on?
Specializing on changes that will
bring them back to power? This is
their policy.
AS representative Of the Party
in the Executive Committee of the
Communist International, saw how
others assumed the same attitude
toward the Communist International:
Hoeglund, Tranmael and others Of
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-06-26

the faith and confidence of the
membership in them. They have
been a startling example for the
American Party of how a leader
should not be. If they return, it will
require years of work to regain the
confidence of the membership. If
they do not return-then the Party
has not lost, but has gained, for
they will have proven that they were
unfit for leadership in a Communist
Party, particularly at time when
the Party must be steeled in policy
and discipline-when it must face
the imperialist world mobilizing for
international war.
What effect had the fractional sit
uation on the work in the district?
The fractional situation in District
Six was not reflection as whole
of the national situation. 1t was
pretty much allayed, but manifested
itself in various respects. There was
some shielding of inefficient func-
tionaries; there was a favoring in
few instances of comrades of the
majority for positions. But worst
of all, owing to the lack of trust that
some comrades of the two groups
put in one another, the membership
did not work unitedly, but wasted
time and energy in fractional dispute.
The fractional situation did not
make it possible for discipline to be
established. Action was hampered
because of factional considerations:
some majority members were
shielded, action could not be taken
against minority members because it
would be interpreted as fractional.
| Political errors were not disclosed
for fractional considerations-altho,
I believe that it may be said, that

verted Interpretation of the Comm
tern decision. Unquestionably the
Comintern Open Letter was intended
to correct the serious mistakes of
the majority, said the minority. The
Open Letter was to correct the out
rageous opportunist mistakes of the
minority, said the majority. The
Comintern Open Letter was to cor
rect the dangerous opportunist mis-
takes of both groups. in order to do
so it was clear that a situation in
the Party had to be changed, viz,
the factional situation which made
it impossible for the groups to think
in a Communist and not factional
manner. But was the matter as
simple as this? 1t was not. In
both groups in the Party speculation
was rife-on the situation in the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Cnon. Although we of the majority
were not informed about the situa-
ton and had to accept much that
was told us-just as we had to swal-
low lot of bunk that was sent
across the ocean from factional
sources, showing that the Communist
International was unfolding the
majority despite its attitude at the
Party OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES now
in the light of later developments, it
is clear that some of the majority
leaders, with Comrade Lovestone at
their head, had associated them
selves with the right tendency in the
controversy in the Russian Party.
Peppers recall to Moscow; Pep
per's remaining in this country de-
spite the decisi-n of the Communist
international, and protected in his
refusal to return by the Polcom of
the American Party; Peppers ex-
pulsion on political grounds, and &C
cused of political cowardice and his
virtual reinstatement by those who
expelled him what kind of political
legerdemain was this? What kind
of trafficking was this with the Com
munist international and the men,
bership? What kind of double-book-
keeping with the Communist Inter-
national and the membership?
The Party convention was heated
war. Resolutions were adopted to
beat the other fellow-resolutions
that the delegates knew nothing
about, were not discussed. Resolu-
lions were introduced in the heat
of the fight against the very spirit
of the Communist International Open
Letter. I, with the proletarian dele
cations from Detroit, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, was

one intended to discredit comrade

political errors of major character
were not made by the District
Bureau except in so far as it particle
pated in the errors of the Polcom.
Errors were made in the district,
but remained uncorrected or were
not taken in hand properly. Organ
national mistakes were made in
large numbers; organizational weak
nesses were not altered. The district
did not and could not change the
situation owing to factional consi-
derations, which necessitated the
concentration of forces where they
would be available for the fractional
dispute.
The situation is now changed by
the Comintern Address. Loyal men,
bers of both former groups will ac-)
cept it. The minority has no reason
to gloat-neither politically nor or
ganizationally has the Comintedl
supported it. The majority has no
reason to complaint deservedthe
criticism that it received.
Is there Communist so greet and
clear as to believe that he has not
made serious errors? Is there a
Communist who believes that he
knows better than the Ccmintern?
Does the individual stand above the
Communist international or the
Communist International above the
individual? The membership Of the
American Party in spite Of and be-
cause of the faith it had in some OF
the leadership of the former major
ity, today has lost it's faith in them.
It places it's faith in the Communist
International-the collective revolu-
tionary experience of which is bet
ter, and the best guide for the rev.
dictionary movement Of the world.
