iii. The Party

est importanc- is not the accelerated pace in
the development of industry, and not the col
lective and Soviet farms, but the ''reease"
of the elementary forces of the market, the
liberation" of the market and the liberation
of the individual farm, including the capitalist
elements of the village, from their 'fetters. "
But since the kulak cannot grow into Social
ism, and the Liberation" of the market sig
nifies he arming of he kulak and the disarm-
ing of the working class, it results that the
Right opportunsts adopt a standpoint deny
ing the possibility of inducing the participa
ton of the decisive masses of the peasantry
in the building up of Socialism.
This explains at bottom, the fact that the
Right generally conclude their cockfights
against the Trotskyists by forming bloc with
them behind the scenes.
The fundamental evil of Right opportunlsm
is the fact that it breaks with the feminist
conception IF the class war, and sinks down
to the level of petty bourgeois liberalism.
There can be no doubt that the victory o.
the Right deviation in our Party would meal
the complete disarmament of the working class
the arming of the capitalist elements in th
village, and increased prospects for the restora
ton of capitalism in the Soviet Union.
The Right opportunists do not adopt the
standpoint that they should form another par
ty, and here again they differ from the Trot'
skyists. The leaders of the Right opportunists
have openly admitted their errors and capitu-
lated to the Party. But it would be foolish
to suppose from this that Right opportunism
is therefore dead and buried. Its strength is
not to be measured by this factor. The strength
of Right opportunism is the strength of the
petty bourgeois element, in the fury of the
assault on the Party on the part of the CAPT.
talist elements in general and the kulak in par
ticular. AS it is just lor this reason-the
fact that the Right deviation mirrors the re-
sstance of the disappearing classes-that at
the present moment it is the greatest danger
in the Party. Therefore the Party considers
a resolute and irreconciliable struggle against
the Right deviation to be necessary. There can
be no doubt that without resolute struggle
against the Right deviation, and without the
isolation of its leading elements, we should
not have achieved the mobilization of the pow
ers of the Party and the working class, the
mobilization of the forces of the poor and
middle peasartry, for the developed offensive
of Socialism, for the organization of Soviet
and collective farms, for the reconstruction Of
our heavy industry, and for the liquidation
of the kulak as class.
That is the position with regard to the

the national languages merge into one uniform n
language within the bounds Of one state be-
fore the victory of socialism on world scale.
On the contrary, Lenin stated precisely the 4
opposite, that 'the national and state differ

Russian.) How can Lenin be appealed to and
yet such definite statement be ignored?
1t is true that one-time MarXst now
renegade and reformist, Mr.. Kautsky, main
tains precisely the contrary of what Lenin
taught us. He maintains, in opposition to Lenin,
that the victory of the proletarian revolution
in united Austro- German state in the middle
of last century would have led to the rise of
a common German language and the German
izing of the Czechs, as only the strength of
that which had freed itself from the letters of
deception, only the strength of modern culture
which the Germans brought with them would
have made the backward Czech petty bourgeois,

stunted nationality could give nothing) into

THE economic crisis and the world crisis of
capitalism place befor this convention as
its main task, the mobilizing of our Party for
the winning of the decisive sections of the
American working class. If this convention
does not accomplish this task then it will have
failed to do its duty to the Party and TO the
American working class.
The Communist International tells us repeat
edly with ever greater emphasis that the road
to a mass Party in the United States leads
through the revolutionary trade unions. Any
one who thinks that the building of the red
trade unions in the U. S. is the special task
of certain few of the comrades in our Party,
and not the task of every comrade and of the
whole Party, is not in line with the c. l. or
the thesis of the Central Committee.
In industry a new phase Of the offensive
against the working class has begun. 1t is
quite clear, comrades, that the measures of
naturalization taken so far by the capitalist
class and its government in this country have
by no means enabled them to begin solving the
crisis. Still more of the burden is being placed
upon the masses of the American working
class and this is the new phase of the capital
list offensive. Instead of indirect methods of
wage cuts in the decisive industries, we see
two-sided offensive--mass lay-offs, simulta
neously with direct wage cuts in coal mining,

The matter is somewhat different in the
question of Right opportunism, which is led,
or has been led by Comrades Bukharin, Ry-
koy and Tomsky.
It cannot be said of the Right that they
fail to recognize the possibility of building up
Socialism in the Soviet Union. No, this they
recognize and in this they differ from the
Trotskyists. But it is the misfortune of the
Right opportunists that whilst they admit the
possibility of building up Socialism in one
country, they refuse to recognize the ways
and means 0 struggle, without which the
building up of Socialism is impossible. They
refuse to recognize that the all-around devel-
opment of industry is the key to the reor-
ganization of our whole national economy on
the basis of Socialism. They refuse to recog
nize the irreconcable class struggle against
the capitalist elements and the intensified Of
fensiye against capitalism. They do not grasp
that all these ways and means represent that
system of measures without which it is I'M
possible to maintain the dictatorship of the
proletariat and to build up Socialism in or
country. They believe that Socialism can be
built up secretly, in the natural course of
events, without class struggle, without an Of
fensive against the capitalist elements. They
believe that the capitalist elements will either
die out unnoticeably by themselves, or will
grow into Socialism. And as such historical
miracles do not happen, the result is that in
actual fact the Right opportunists ars slipping
into an attitude denying the possibility of
building up Socialism in our country.
1t cannot be said of tn Right onro~t''nists
again, that they deny the possibility of draw
ing the decisive masses of the peasantry in:o
the task of building up of Socialism in the
village. No, they recognize this. And here
again they differ from the Trotskyists But
whilst formally recognizing this possibility,
they reject those ways and means without which
the drawing of the peasantry in the work of
building up oe Socialism is impossible. They
will not admit that the Soviet and collective
farms form the decisive means, the great
road leading the decisive masses of the peas
antry to the building up of Socialism. They
will not admit that unless the policy of liquid
ating the kulak as class is carried out, the
reorganization of the village on the basis of
Socialism is impossible. They believe that the
village cen b shunted onto the track Of So
cialism Sec ely, without class war, solely by
means of the buying and selling co-operatives;
for they are convinced that the kuak will grow
into Socialism of himself. They believe that

up hatred among the Negro and white workers.
Thereby the ranks of the workers are split
and organization is rendered difficult This
is done to prevent the building of united fronts
of rank and file workers fighting against the
real enemy, the capitalist class.
AS long as the capitalist system of society
endures, so long will there be festivals" as
was held in Marion. An escape from the South
to North or to Africa is not the solution to
the Negro problem. The semi-feudal oppres-
sion in the South has it's counterpart in a
highly intensified industrial exploitation in the
North. In Africa and the colonial countries,
imperialism has developed the most barbarous
system of chattel slavery. To the Negro work
ers democracy" is an unknown term.
To smash mob terrorism, to fight against
lynchings, and race hatred requires the soil
darity of Negro and white workers united in
common struggle against the main enemy,
capitalism.
The revolutionary Negro liberation move
ment is supported by the fullest realization of
the class conscious white workers that CAPT
talism attempts. to retain racial subsection in
order to perpetuate the exploitation and OPP
preston of the entire working class. Sharp
struggles, lynchings, race wars, economic and
race discrimination against the Negroes are
methods used by the boss class to lower the
conditions of the white workers. The demon
stratlve solidarity of Negro and white workers
fighting for social, economic and political
equality for the Negro workers is a factor
that will gather the Negro workers to become
the natural allies of the world revolutionary
proetariat. Only through such united force,
discriminating capitalism and all its out
growths (lynchngs, unemployment, economic
crises, and white chauvinsm) and in its place
establishing rule of the workers and peasants
Will such debacles as took place in Marion
disappear The liberation struggle of the
American working class involves the liberation
movement of the Negro workers.
The Communist Party the vanguard of the
working class, leads in organizing both Negro
and white workers for struggle against all
forms of oppression and persecution 1t is the
communist Party that raises the slogan of
self-determination, the highest expression Of
equality, for the Negro masses. The Com
munist Party through struggle will win the
American proetariat to struggle for the ma
tional aspirations of the Negro workers. I'm
der the leadership of the Communist Party,
the Negro workers will assume the hegemony
of the Negro liberation movement.

COD LIVER OIL is FED
TO GROWING CHICKENS
Gives Fowls Healthy Bones Just as
1t Does Children.
By Science Seruice

By Science SerUice
ATLANTA, April 9.-It now is the
mode in best poultry-raisin circles
to administer cod liver oil to young
chickens. It gives them healthy
bones as it does to young children.
Since chicks are no more anxious
to take cod liver oil straight" than
children are, the oil is mixed with
their feed. The question arose, how
long would such feed keep its rick
ets-preventing power? Three re-
search chemists, A. D. Holmes,
Madeleine G.. Pigott and D. F. Men
ard of Stoneham, Mass, undertook
to find out. Their findings were
reported here today to the Amer
lean Chemical Society.
They stored oil-treated feed in
bags, just as it would be stored in
a regular feed house, and every
couple of months drew some of the
bags out and tried them on chick
ems kept on a deficient diet. The
tests were kept up for a year, and
no falling off in the rickets-pre-
venting power of the feed was de-
tected in that time.
