The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-03-31

Right errors and mistakes were often smoothed
over. When the CT. put an end to factionalism
in the American Party with the Address, many
comrades were so embodied with factions that
they could not understand clearly the criticism
and line laid down by the CT Address.
When the C. I. Address first came out ac-
copied it and made tour of the district and
received a hundred per cent vote in favor of the
Address. When comrades began to mobilize
against the C. I. and its political line and
were expelled for refusing to submit to C. l.
decisions and to the line of the Address, COM
rades whom I had always fought for and de-
Tended, the old fractional spirit came out and
| began to find flaws where there were none.
l thought the c. l. was turning the Party over
to the former minority. To strengthen my
wrong position, some of the Finnish members
of the Party such as Syvanen, who has since
dropped out of the Party, whose social-denl-
ocratlc tendencies | had carried on a ceaess
fight against, accepted the Address as a VIC
tory for the minority and prosecuted and at
tackled me with their 81 told you SOS" and
you have always been a right winger," ETC.
This was wrong position to take. | should
have studied the Address, not in the factional
spirit that did, but in clear Boshevik man
ner.
have since then studied the Address and am
convinced that through the Address the c. T.
was making serious effort to end all fac
tlonalism and giving the correct line with
which the American Party could become a mass
party. | have seen that the Party is deter
mined to carry out the line of the C. /. in end
ing all factionalism and Kidding the Party of
all socia-democratic, petty bourgeois, right
wing tendencies.
The Lovestone group is openly a right wing

They are fighting the Comntern, trying to
undermine it's influence upon the working,
masses of the world. They have taken the
initiative to suggest an international confer
