Communist Party Tells Lovestoneites to Admit
and Correct Errors Way to Enter Party

face? You represent only hand
full of individuals with very little
connection among the masses. Those
of your followers occupying leading
positions in some trade unions in

What is true of the united front
on the field of struggle against war
and Fascism is unquestionably true
in all other fields where the broad
united front can be and is being
built unemployment, in the trade
unions. Scottsboro, etc.. Can we
talk of united front for example in
connection with the unemployment
insurance campaign when you speak
of the broadest movement ever built
in the history of the Communist
movement in this country as "just
another name for the bankrupt
Unemployed Councils" the --latest
puppet organization of the Commu-
mist Party? Is this not going
William Green one better? Or can
we have united front in the trade
unions where you are completely
isolated in the important industries,
or in the few locals where your
members are openly allied with the
reactionary bureaucracy, fighting
against the Communists and mill
tant workers?
No discussion is possible with you
on the united front, so long as you
carry on such anti-Communist
ISLANDERS and actions. A united
front with your handful of follow
ers is at any rate Of little conse-
quence in the labor movement. If
you change your ways and really
wish to honestly support the posi-
ton of the Party in the struggle it
is leading you can show it in the
practical daily work,
Now as to the second point In
the letter regarding "a better po-
litical understanding so as to
pave the way for complete unity"
We are sure that you are fully ac-
quainted with the position of the
Party on all important questions of
fundamental policy and tactics. We
also are well acquainted with the
view of your group. There is no
need to organize any discussion
merely for the purpose of restating
our respective positions which are
we'll established. The only way In
which any understanding can be
reached between us is by your group
abandoning its anti Communist pO-
sitiOn and fully accepting the poll
cies and tactics of the G. P. u S. A.
1t is not necessary for us to go
into the motives behind the sending
of the letter to us. But every mem
Der of the Lovestone group who sin
cerely wishes to fight capitalism and

ment ought to ask himself the
question: why did the leaders Of the
group send this letter to the Com
nlunist Party when only a few
months ago, after the Comintern
informed through the columns of
the Communist International that
all the followers Of the Brandler
group who wish to come into con-
tact with the Comintern should adj
dress themselves to the respective
Communist Parties. The Lovestone
group instead of taking this honest
course, opened up new offensive"
against the G. P. U. S. A. in the
form Of "an open letter" to the
membership of the C. P. U. S. A.
Enthusiastically the following are
chief reasons why LoveStone is now
compelled to make this latest ma
neuYer:
/. Because the C P. u. S. A. is
now completely united on the basis
of the line Of the Comintern and is
making rapid progress in all fields
of work, especially in the trade
unions, and in the building Of the
