its appearance with special frequency among
a number Of Communists Of the Latin coun-
tries, who suffer from great organisational
shortcomings.
Many Communists are ready at any minute
to die heroically on the barricades, but they
cannot understand the heroism of everyday
tedious work. It is easier to mobilize them for
an uprising than to compel them to work from
day to day in a refornist or fascist trade union,
when they have to carry on prolonged siege
rather than a sudden assault,
For years the Comintern mas been battling
with the italian Communist Party in order to
break down the resistance of the Italian com
rades to work in the fascist trade unions, and
it has not attained a complete change in this
respect even now Only with great pressure
has it been possible to get the Chinese COM
rades to work in the yellow Kuomintang trade
unions. The young cadres Of the Communist
Parties prefer the most severe conditions of
illegality to being in one hall together with
fascist commisSar and breathing the same air
as he. They find the atmosphere stifling in a
fascist trade union for there it is necessary
TO dissimulate with the fascists, to observe the
rules of conspiracy, to resort to maneuyers in
order not to let yourself be seen through at

ers Such language seems to them degrading.
unworthy Of that Party which not long ago
during it's period of legality was still speaking
to tens of thousands of workers in open Bol-
shevik language. In countries where the Com
munists have their open or semi-secret organ
izations, they prefer to shut themselves up In
them rather than to go into other organiza-
tions in order to spread the influence Of the
Party.
After all, it is easier to work in your own
organization where everyone is like e-minded;
here you have your own Communist environ
ment, here all are "our own people" here the
position is clear here is a definite line of
| demarcation between the Party organization
and the non-Party masses Here no one is
watching to entrap you, to hunt you down,
trying to compromise you in the eyes of the
workers as political opponents do in an alien
organization.

drawn up by General Seeckt and possessing the

But the only result of this campaign SO far
has been that the Red Army has occupied Is

comrades are convinced that this campaign will

It win end with the defeat of Chang Ksi-
shek because the Communist Party and the
Chinese Red Army is equipped with something
the enemy has not got-namely, the all-con-
quering power of Communism and the self
sacrificing support of the toiling masses Of
China. prolonged appiauseO
In the districts where the most stubborn fight
ing Is taking place the Red Army is supported
and cared for by the whole population
ers, coolies peasants, commercial employees,
fishermen, the poor of the street, women and

future, too, because the broadest masses Of the
toiling population of China are already seeing
the advantages of the Soviet system by the
concrete experience OF the Soviet districts
The Chinese Communist Party has won over
these masses by carrying the agrarisn revolu-
ton to its completion, confiscating the land
and stock of the landlords, gentry and kulaks
for the benefit of the people by doing away
with that ulcer of the Chinese countryside, the
usurer, by strictly regulating trade and handi-
crafts without, however socializing them, by
organizing state and public aid for the peasants
who have no cattle or seed, by developing in
dustrial and credit cooperation, by raising edu-
cation and health protection to a level un-
precedented in China.

The Difficulties of the Revolutionary
Struggle

Meanwhile this growth Of the influence of the
Communist Parties is going on in a situation
where the overwhelming majority of the sec4
tions of the Comintern are already in an illegal
position, and only fifteen sections including
Soviet China, are still able, to a lesser or
greater extent to carry on open work
In the majority of the capitalist countries
the Communists are working under conditions
of the cruellest persecution, going far beyond
the repression of tsarisn. During eight months
of 1888 alone $4,000 members we're arrested,
5000 killed. and 10000 wounded and manned.
Hundreds of thousands of Communists are
imprisoned in capitalist iails out of whom
magnificent fighting Party consisting of the
most devoted and well-tried fighters of the
proletarian revolution could be formed in twen-
ty-four hours in any individual country In
Germany alone about 10000 Communist
workers are incarcerated in concentration
camps The illegal Communist Party of
Poland numbers $4,000 Party members who are
at liberty, while the number of its active mem
bers who are in Jail reaches the figure ofa
10000 There has been marked growth ollrin9
recent years in the number of those killed
without trial in comparison with the number
OF those condemned. In China Communists
who fall into the clutches of Chang
hdl-SLlek are pene5ued on the spot. Hardly a
day passes without the Comintern sustaining
new and severe loss in some capitalist country
or other. In the so-called advanced boIr-
geois democracies such as the U. S. A. Com
munists are shot from ambush by hired bands.

they are subjected to lynch law The leaders

the menace of being struck down by the bullets'
of fascist Scoundrels There are some Parties
in which the whole active has been physically
exterminated, as for instance in Bulgaria after
the September uprising in 1923 and after the
explosion in the Sofia cathedral. In the
colonial countries Communists are kept in cages
chained to an iron post just as the Roman
pstricisns chained their runaway slaves.

The Communist Party of Germany

This is that Party and that power for which
the Chinese coolie and the Chinese peasant
has been waiting for thousands of years. This
is not yet proletarian dictatorship, but it is
a special form of the revolutionary democratic
dictatorship Of the proletariat and the peas
antry during the epoch of the general crisis
Of capitalism. 1t is q dictatorship carried out
under the hegemony of the proetariat and with
a monopoly of political leadership by the Com
munist Party which is carrying the bourgeois
democratic revolution to it's completion and
carrying out a number of measures Of a So
cialst character during it's process; and all this
taken together inSures the rapid growing over
of this revolution into a socialist revolution
provided the power of the Soviets is extended
over industrial centers.
The Chinese Bolsheviks are teaching a lesson
to the European proletariat, and especially to
the Spanish workers. on how to carry out the
bourgeois democratic revolution, eliminating the
economic basis and political power of the
counter revolutionary classes, who, unless this
is done, will eventually come in fascist garb
as the experience of Germany has shown.
Next after the Chinese Communist Party for
having made a step forward in winning over
the ma sjority of the working class, comes the
Communist Party of Germany.
Never before has the German Communist
Party approached so closely to the social-demo-
cratic workers as at the present time, Never
before during the whole postwar period of
development Of social democracy have the work
ers devoured every Communist leaflet with
such eagerness as now. Never before in Ger
many has there been such a profound urge
towards the united front of struggle of the
working class as there is today And this has
enabled the Communist Party of Germany to
spoil the plans of the faseists for capturing the
trade unions.
Thanks to the rebuff they have received from
the working class headed by the CPG, the
German fascists have not been able to base
themselves on the reformst trade unions, nor
to create their own trade unions as the italian
fascists have done The fascist factory organ
izations hastily created by them have either
turned into opposition centers of struggle
against the employers and fascism or they are
in the process of complete disintegration
The law just passed in Germany on the
abolition of trade unions and factory commit
tees, creating as 1t does regime of serfdom
for the German workers, is tearing the mask
of social demagogy from the face of the fas-
cist counter revolutionary gang. The increased
influence of the C.P.G. permitted it, after the
blow sustained in March, to go over as early
as May TO type of scattered demonstrations
which the fascists answered with a new wave
OF terror and public executions.
In August September the revolutionary trade
union opposition developed series of success
full strikes in the Lower Rhine, in Hagen, ir
Dusseldorf, Remscheid Wuppertal, Solingen
and other places.
In November It headed demonstration q

The Communist Party of China

And if the present crisis of social democracy
has not taken on sharper forms today, that is
because in the spring of 1888 after the bank
ruptcy of the German social democracy the
sections of the Comintern did not go over with
sufficient energy to an offensive against the
Second International, because they did not take
sufficient advantage of the rejection by social
democracy of the Cominbern's proposal of March
in order 10 rouse a wave of indignation
among the workers Of all countries who are

most powerful underground Party excepting the
German Party and has grown by 10000 mem
bers during the past year. (Applause) This
Party is already governing Soviet State which
comprises a territory of 100000 square kilo-
meters-more than that of France or Germany
or of any other imperial power with the ex-
ception of the U.SA 1t has at it's disposal
an armed force in the shape of the Chinese
Red Army which numbers $4,000 fighters in
its regular detachments-( (applause)-and about
100000 in armed guerilla detachments. (Ap-
plause) This army which, according to the
confession of its worst enemies, is the best
army in China consists of 80 per cent work
erS and has SO per cent of Communists in its
model detachments. (Applause)
At the present time the Young Communist
Party of China is growing into one of the
best sections of the Comintern for the further
reason that both it and It's Red Army have
gone through many years of the schooling of
civil war, during which time they have forged
both strong Party cadres and whole pleiad
of talented war leaders and military command
ers. Applsuse)
Having become hardened in civil war, the
Red Army Of China has already repulsed five
campaigns of Chang Kai-shek During the
last, fifth, campaign in which 81 picked divi-
sions of Chang Kai-shek were operating
against it, including landlord punitive detach-
ments and kulak bands numbering about 600, ,OOC
bayonets, it utterly routed II divisions, re-
pulsed the attack of 40 divisions took prisoner
about 10000 men, and from January to April
1893, captured 100000 rifles, 1890 light and
heavy machine-guns, 20 wireless sets, six air
planes from the enemy and occupied 70 new
districts.
Such an army and such Party, comrades

ers of all tendencies against the offensive of

The French Communists did not notice that
by these negotiations they we're weakening the
Partys onslaught on social democracy, and that
at the moment when German social democracy
had opened the doors wide for fascism and
when the whole Second International was in a
state of utter confusion. If the Geneva or
ganization Of our Swiss Party has not been
able to consolidate its influence among the
working masses which has grown as a result
of the Geneva shootings it is because it did
not give timely rebuff to the line Of the Right
opportunist, HumbertDro who was dragging
