The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-10
By THOMAS MYERsCoUGH.

BEGINNING. in Moscow last year as a men,
Der Of the 9Th Convention fractional Dele
cation, and continuing as Lovestoneite after
my return. despite a previous statement,
have done nothing but nete out abuse to those
who have held a Comintern and Party line,
and all. Of this because placed factional and
personal considerations before those of the
Party. the Comintern, and the need for real
proletarian revolutionary work.
Even after the unanimous acceptance by the
ECCI Of the draft address which automatically
became Comintern decision, refused to ac-
cept same, despite the fact that knew such
action was tantamount to open rebellion
against the, Comintern.
In my factionally blinded condition, it was
impossible for me to see ahead and | there
fore made the foolish mistake of waiting till
time would tell the story. How well the Ad-
dress has told the story, and truthful one,
can best be determined by re-reading now
Of that Comintern Address to the American
Party. Better still, it can be determined by
even the feeblest study of the present OBJ
iective conditions and situation. It can also
be determined by viewing the open maneuvers
Of the fascist, social.fascist, renegade and
counter-revolutionary elements, who colabor-
ate to try to prevent the growth of revo-
lutionary spirit among the workers in the
United States, and also for the overthrow of
the Russian Revolution. Each of these groups,
or straits of opposition to the Comintern, is
guided by an international clique and the one
was found aligned with was the group of
renegades from Communism led by Lovestone
in the United States and by Handicapped
internationally. s
l now serve notice of my complete severence
Of relations from anything branded with the
faint of Brandler-Pepper-Lo vestoneism and
beg to be reinstated to membership in the
Party Of my class, first and foremost that
may be tested in the revolutionary fire where
L promise / will be found not wanting.
In making the appeal for reinstatement I.
realize that am deserving of complete inves-
tigation before favorable consideration is given
me, and | am again permitted to lay real claim
to the name Communist. That the same APP
plies to my deserving the most drastic kind
Of Communist disciplinary treatment, also goes
without saying, and stand ready to meet any
and all demands the Party may make upon
me.
In making this appeal, l state emphatically
that there will be no REPETITION on my part
Of my previous actions. There will be no
further sabotage, deliberate or otherwise, of
any Communist activity by me, but instead,
there will be active participation in same on
my part.
The grave errors ! made, first: in refusing
to participate, except in the role Of an OBJ
server, in the first international Red Day
demonstration. Second: in taking a subject
i've and personal attitude at the Cleveland T.
U. U. I. convention. Third: by leaving the
Anthracite district without permission, at
time when there was need for real revolution
airy work, and then openly joining forces with
the Lovestone rcneeades, make me deserving
Of the most drastic kind Of disciplinary action.
Besides these three very serious errors,
there were large number Of lesser misdeeds,
