PEELED from the Party because of the social
democratic political line folloaoed by him IN

Sro's statement reveals the alliance of Love
stone with Brandler and Roy who today openly
fight the Sixth Congress decisions. who have
raised the cry that the October Revolution is
being defeated and howled against the "domin-
alton of the Comintern by the Russians"
Life itself exposed the social democratic poll
teal platform of Lovestone and the nterna-
tional right wing. The very experiences of the
working class definitely proved the correctness
of the decisions of our Party and the Com
munist international. Those few proletaran
elements, who because of years of traditional
factional struggle were misled by Lovestone.
now recognize their mistakes and the counter
revolutionary line Lovestone follows today.
WE see today an intense development of the
" contradictions of world capitalism bringing
about an ever greater danger of war, imper-
ialist war against the U.SSR., wars among the
imperialist States themselves, and colonial
wars The pressure upon the working class
(speed-up, wage cuts, unemployment, etc., as
a result of these contradictions is driving them
to the left so that this period is marked by
great mass struggles, in which. the working
class is assuming the counter offensive and
which are intensifying the internal antagon-
isms in the capitalist countries.
America is not exempted from this general
crisis of world capitalism. The U. S. became
the starting point for the world crisis of capt.
talism On the other hand the United States
is showing greater aggressveness in the strug-
gle for markets and the most important sources
of raw materials This brings it into sharp
antagonism with the gigantic colonial monopoly
of Great Britain which is on the decline. There
is unrest and uncertainty in the American
working class brought about by capitalist ra-
tonalization. There is will to defend itself
which is often turned into will to take the
counter offensive. This is exemplified by the
wave of strikes throughout the country and the

In this period of intense war danger of

the working class needs leadership, strong mill
tant leadership to lead them in class battles and
for the overthrow Of the present system Such
leadership only the Communist Party can
give them, following the line of the CT But
to be able to give the correct leadership to the
working class the Party members must under
stand and carry out the line of the CT. Not
only is it necessary to carry out but also to
agree with the line. One cannot carry out
correctly any political line without understand
ing it and believing it to be correct Only with
unified party following the line of the CT.
can the Communist Party hope to carry out it's
role of leading the working class in it's class
battles.
Before the Comintern Address the Party was
hindered from carrying out it's revolutionary
tasks by factionalism. Tho there were no
basic political differences between the two
former groups the CT. stated, every convention
and meeting would result in hair splitting. more
or less personal antagonsm. These political
differences that did exist were blurred with
factionalism and lost their political contents.
No real bolshevik self-criticism prevailed
Charges of fright wingers, petty bourgeois
