The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-06-25


Among these difficulties the problem of the
apparatus and the cadres plays considerable
part Bureaucratism and sabotage in the state,
economic and cooperative apparatus rend
breaches in some sections of the front of social
'"l eXerion and further
means are required to mend these breaches.
90. 4 uelecus in the provisioning of the
workers are not due to lack of the products
required, but to the bureaucratic procedure in
the supply organizations, especially the CO.
operatives. Enormous sums are expended I'M
productivity, for lack of firmly established and
experienced cadres, devoted to the cause of
socialist reconstructin. This lack of cadres
h"~-~ors the utilization of the whole of the
advantages of planned socialist economics, and
Is a decided obstacle in the road of socialist
reconstruction. Here is the weak point and
it is imperative that 1t be removed The strug-
gle for the Improvement of the apparatus, the
struggle for the cadres among the main
tasks of the Party at the present stage.
The Moscow District Conference was not
only characterized by determination and unan- 4
unity in the question of the general line of \
the Party and its Central Committee, but by L
its insstence on the mobilization of the masses
for overcoming the difficulties of socialist con-
struction.
1t is characteristic that the opportunist ele-
ments in the ranks of the Party today fire.
ouently dc not venture to come forward openly
against the general line of the Party, or to
openly deny our great achievements. But all
open and concealed attacks are against the
leadership of the Party, against the c. c.,
which is alleged to commit errors in carrying
out the general line, which is alleged to have
issued false instructions and to have promoted
supar-tensions in collective economic construc-
tive work. etc Here the Right opportunists
and the -Trotskyists approach one another
very nearly. Only recently the Trotskyists
(ard after them the semi Trotskyist elements
in the Party) reproached the Party with carry
ing on pseudo-fight against the Right, whilst
in reality pursuing Right policy. The Right
for their part declared that the Party was slip
ping down into Trotskyism.
The incontestable fact of an theological and
political rapproachment between Right and
"Ieft' is made the subject, very rightly, of
passage in the resolution of the Moscow Dis
trict Conference, which draws the attention of
the whole Party to this fact: at demands
srecial watchfulness from the Party, and de-
termination in the struggle on two fronts. -"
The Rights are now trying on one side anda
the semi-Trotskyists on the other these aparV
from the open Trotskyists), by means of rele7
eating to the background their various differ y
ences of opinion, to find means for the forma-
ton of united front against the Party and
the Central Committee. To cast discredit on
the Party leaders is the first task which they
set themselves. The Moscow District Confer
ence, in its resolution, deals powerful blow
against these anti-Party maneuvers of the
Right and LEFT"
point of extreme political Importance on
the eve of the Sixteenth Party Congress, is
that passage in the resolution OF the Moscow
District Conference which
Demands of the former leaders of the
Right opportunists thorough Bolshevlst
criticism of their opportunist errors, and
at the same time a determined and active
combating of all attempts on the part OF the
Right to revise the feminist general line, a
and against aspersions, and discrediting of
the feminist Party leaders, or OF the Central y
Committee and its policy"
Up to the present the Party has observed
no sign of such criticism active combating.
1t is no normal state of affairs when, for
instance, the renegade groups around Brand
Ter and Thalheimer in Germany, and around
Lovestone in America, refer constantly to the
Rucharin theory of organized capitalism IN
confirmation of their anti Communist views,
and that Comrade Bucharin, who, it may be
observed in passing, has not yet renowned this
theory, deems it possible not to react at all to
this use of his theory. The group which Jug
giles most cynically with Bucharin's name is
the L0VeStone group, WHICH has AoIollousiJ
sunk so low that it makes bandit attacks on
the premises of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of the United States. This
group of American renegades formed Bucha-
rims most faithful bodyguard at the Sixth
World Congress.
The Party is entitled to learn whether Bu-
charm has renowned his opportunst views in
Comintern questions, his theory of organized
capitalism" or not. The Party is entitled to
learn what stand Comrade Bucharin takes IN
the matter of the struggle of the Comlnteri4
against the Right renegades. The Party
entitled to learn the attitude of the former
leaders of the Right opposition towards that
campaign for the dscrediting of the Central
Committee, which the Right and "Left' are
now striving to organize in the questions OF
collective economic reconstruction, and which
is encountering the united resistance OF the
Party. Clarity is needful.
The Party, is entitled to demand of the
former leaders of the Right opposition an un-
conditional criticism Of their errors, and an
unreserved fight for the general line. The
whole Party Joins unanimously in this demand
of the Moscow District Conference. 1.-The
Right danger is now as ever the chief danger
in the Party"-the resos1tion of the Moscow
District Conference states this on the eve OF
the Sixteenth Party Congress. The fight must
be determined on both fronts-but the fire too
wards the Right. The struggle cannot bt
otherwise during the present stage OF the1
struggle now that we have entered the period
