The following resolution of the
Opposition in the Political Commit
tee of the Los Angeles sub-district
of the California district (13), was
adopted by the Los Angeles Politi-
cal Committee by vote of 6
against 2.
We, the members of the Polcom
of the Los Angeles S.-D.E.C., en-
dorse the unanimous action of the
Political Committee of the Gee in
expelling Cannon, Abern, and
Shachtman. We pledge ourselves to
fight against Trotskyism as Left
ist deviation from Leninism, lead
ing to social democracy and counter
revolution. We pledge ourselves to
fight against the Right danger.
We vote for the Minority state
ment of the Gee as published in
the Daily Worker of December 3rd.
1928, and we vote against the Ma
jority statement of the Gee as pub
lished in the Daily Worker of Nov.
18th for the following reasons:
Gee Confusion re Trotskyism.
1. The statement of the Central
Committee fails to analyse clearly
that the Trotsky deviation is a
deviation to the left (ultra-Leftist)
of Leninism, and that the Right
danger consists in deviations to the
Right of the correct feminist line.
Both lead to social democracy. Both
are therefore opportunist, but we
must realize that the Trotsky devia-
tions are Icftist deviations, whereas
the Right danger is openly oppor-
tunist.
g. The Gee statement purposely
confuses the issue. 1t tries to con-
ceal the real source and the most
important manifestations of the
Right danger in America. 1t does
not show that the overestimation of
the power of American imperialism,
the underestimation Of the maturing
of the inner and outer contradic-
tions of American Imperialism, the
failure to realize the developing dis
content and the rehabilitation pro-
cess among the masses-that these
constitute the source and the main
manifestation of the Right dangers
in the American Party.
8. That because the Polbureau
refuses to see the real source of
the Right danger, it refuses to at
tack the Right danger and instead
concentrates it's attack upon Trot-
sky alone, thus protecting the Right
deviations in the American Party.
The Geo statement fails to admit
the responsibility Of the Gee for
the Right errors made under its
leadership, but unloads the respon-
sibility on lower committees which
followed the Gee line.
1. The statement Of the Polbu-
reau Majority makes our disagree

BY JAY LOvESTONE.

As the Party discussion is draw
ing to close, it is not only ap-
propriate but necessary to draw
certain conclusions from the exami-
nation of policies, to estimate our
Party's tasks, to trace its develop
ment, to examine the perspectives
for its immediate future.
1t is now nearly ten years that
our Party is in existence. The writer
recalls the beginnings of and some
of the experiences in the Socialist
Propaganda League in the old social
list party. In this organization.
which was the first near Bolshevik
capitalization, there participated a
number of comrades some of whom
are now holding the highest posts
in the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, in the Russian Trade
Unions and in the Soviet govern
ment. Our experiences in the or
ganization of the 1917-1919 socialist
party Left wing, the forerunner of
our Party of today, in such cities as
Cleveland, led by Comrade Ruthen-
berg, as Boston, led by Comrade
BALKAN, as New York, led by such
comrades as Gitlow, Weinstone and
Reed, are of great value to us at
this moment not only in aiding US to
secure better understanding of our
immediate problems and correction
of our errors, but also in helping us
arrive at the best ways and means
of insuring an acceleration of the
Party's growth in influence and
power.
Our trials and errors in the pre-
Communist Party days, our fierce
fractional struggles in the early un-
derground days of our Party, have
been harmful in certain respects but
have also served constructively as
sort of sieve not only for the Party
leadership but also for the Party
membership. Those of our Party
leadership and membership who have
gone, through these periods will
vouch for this. The same applies
also to the more recent struggles in
our Party ranks.
feminist Attitude On Party
Mistakes.
Some comrades might state that
we have admitted too many mis-
takes, we have exposed our weak
nesses too much in the open; or that
we have been too sharp with each
other. First of all, we must en-
phasize to such comrades that diff
ferences are in order in Communist
Party, provided they do not degener-
ate into quarrels. Secondly, sharp
ness in formulation of principle is
not liability but an asset. This
has been the position of Comrade
Lenin, emphasized by him time and
again.
More than that. Comrade Lenin
has thus stated the correct attitude
towards the Party and its mistakes:
"The attitude of political party
towards it's mistakes is one of the
surest and most important tests
of its seriousness and Of its abil-

endous improvement in the social
composition.
~ The results in the Party cleo
tons cannot in any way at all be
taken as victory of any group or
combination of groups. In fact, the
elections are only an index of the
extent to which the Party has al
ready advanced in liquidating all
groups and smashing all group lines,
in wiping out all existing factions.
For instance, recent weeks have
witnessed a marked trend of former
supporters of the Opposition to the
ranks of the Central Committee.
An outstanding example of this
force for Party unification is to be
found in the fact that only the
other day, Comrade Ella Reeve
Bloor, for many years an ardent
adherent of the Opposition, one of
the veterans in our Party and in
the labor movement as a whole, has
broken with the Opposition and has
called upon Foster to stop the fac
tional struggle and to support the
C. E. C. Every district shows this
trend towards wiping out the old
fractional lines, towards the break
ing down of groups to be accelerat-
ing.
Main Tasks Before Our Party.
The two main tasks before the
Party are: ~ To conduct a vigor-
GUS fight against the Right danger;
(2) To liquidate faetionalism and
smash allp existing groups in the
Party.
But to prepare the comrades to
realize these tasks, to understand
the why and wherefore of such
tasks, it is necessary, amongst other
prerequisites, to review historically,
first, the various periods in the
development of our Party and, sec

Hoover Stops Killing
Fish to Say Morrow
Won't Be Sec'y State

MIAMI BEACH, Jan. 31.-Presi-
dent-elect Hoover took enough time
off from the slaughter of Florida's
timid fish, which he pursues in a
high-power motor boat belonging to
big chain store owner, to tell
Senator-elect Keane of New Jersey
that Dwight Morrow will not be sec
rotary of state. Morgan needs his
old partner, Morrow, in Mexico City
to look after affairs of the Amer
lean empire there. The senator-elect
allowed these facts to become known
after a short conference with Hoo
yer today.

ond, the line of the Communist In
ternational towards our Party.
The course of the development of
our Party-its ups and downs, it's
inner conflicts, its defeats and sue
cesses, its mistakes and shortcom-
ings-is no accident, is no series of
accidents. All of these develop
ments and results are deeply rooted
in the objective conditions under
which we have been working
the divisions within the ranks of the
working class (foreign-born and ma
tive, skilled and unskilled, Negro
and white, etc., in the dominant
world position of American impeIi-
alism, etc. Nor has the line of the
Comintern towards our Party been
an accident or series of acct
dents.

Three Main Periods of Our Party.

Three Main Periods of Our Party.
A. The Period of Ultra-Leftism.
Those comrades who have been in
the Party from its inception know
that in first days of our existence
as a Party we were ultra-Left sick.
l still recall how we called for
armed instruction and the setting
up of Soviets during the course of
a trolley-car strike in Brooklyn. I
remember how in 1919 we asked
for the formation of Soviets along
the water front during the course
of a longshoremen's strike in New
York. Many a Party document came
from the pen of the writer utilizing
the slogan Of armed instruction
under conditions when it did not
have the least content, the slightest
substance. Some comrades will re-
call the trade union policy of our
Party in 1919-20 based on principle
objections to working within the
existing labor unions because they
were reactionary.
Some of us might even recall the
sharp differences in our ranks in
1921 over the question of how to
fight the ultra-Left For instance,
comrades will recollect how the
Party leadership in 1921 came near
being smashed to smithereens in
defeating the proposal of Cannon
to expel five thousand workers from
our Party because they responded
too slowly to our efforts for Or
ganizing an open Party. Let one
laugh at the fact that the same
renegade Cannon now poses as a
pure Left wing Communist. Com
rades might even go back little
further and recall the role of Com
rade Wagenknecht at the national
Left wing conference held in New
York in June, 1919-his hesitation,
his wavering on the fundamental
principle of splitting the socialist
party and organizing Communist
Party.
To the superficial observer it

ably to fight new world war. Slim

The spectator at any game where
skill is paramount usually carries
the impression away that the stars
are natural players, with skill far
beyond that which others may at
tain. This is so in basket ball. But
the skill of team is based entirely
on its mastery of fundamentals.
Take the out-of-bounds play used
by California, shown yesterday,
play dependent upon quick manipu-
lation Of the ball by the man hold
ing it to pass in. He fakes an over
head pass, as shown in Fig. of
the upper panel of the illustration,
draws his opponent into a move to
block it. and in lightning-like time
brings the ball down and bounce
passes it past this opponent before
the latter can alight and interfere
Gig. 2, upper paneD.
There are two methods of bounce
passing. In each the ball is bounced
on the floor about foot In front
of and to the side of the guarding
player. If 1t is to be a long
bounce, the fingers should rotate the
ball over and away from the player;
but If short one to teammate ap-
preaching, as in the California play,
the reverse English is impaired to
insure high bounce, as In the

DISTRICT MAY HAVE
OWN UNIT OF A. A. U.

Washington may become a separate
unit of the Amateur Athletic Union in
dependent Of the South Atlantic Asso-
citation of which it now is member.
Daniel j. Ferris of New York, ma
tional secretary of the A. A. u, last
night told a gathering of local sports
leaders at dinner held in his honor
st the Lee House that Washington
should apply to the A. A. u. for a
charter, and as result a movement
has been begun by persons prominently
identified with amateur sports in this
city to obtain it. In the opinion OF two
South Atlantic officials who attended
the dinner, Charles L. Ornstein, execu-
tive secretary, and Ernest j. Splitter,
commissioner for Washington. the South
Atlantic Association will not stand in
the way Of the movement to secure a
charter here.
Splitter also made known last night
that the 1929 South Atlantic Associa-
ton A. A. u. outdoor track and field
championship track meet has been
awarded to Washington. The date has
not been set, but 1t will be some time
