federationism springing up from the
basis of right opportunism. The
theological independence" of the
language declarations means their
sinking into opportunism, it means
stepping on the road which will
lead the language federation into
degeneration, it will lead back to so
cial-democracy and thereby into the
camp of the bourgeoisie.
The Communist Party is not an
institution which merely gives COM
mands to the language declarations.
Instead, through its fractions, it
gives theological leadership and
guidance to all working class or
carnations because the Party is the
leader Of the whole working class.
It has no interests which would be
contradictory to the interests Of the
whole working class and those OPP
pressed.
The language declarations have
received invaluable aid, both ideo-
logically and organizationally, from
the C. P. and are stronger today in
both respects than ever previously
And as they follow the theological
leadership Of the c. P, they will
continue to grow and strengthen
themselves. Our task in the Ian
guage federation is to make the
whole program of the Party known
to the broadest working and farm
ing masses and to draw them on the
basis of a united front program into
the everyday struggles of the work
ing class for bread and freedom, for
unemployment insurance, into strug-
gle against war and fascism, in de-
tense of the Soviet Union. into the
struggle for the establishment of a
Soviet America, the proletarian die
tatorship and the crushing of the
bourgeoisie.
The declarations Of the opportun-
lists, at the time Of the reorgani7a-
ton of the Party, that as result Of
the reorganization the whole Party
years has become thing Of the
dream Of those opportunists which
has not come true.
The contrary has taken place. The
Party is now internally as well as
organizationally stronger than ever
before, its influence over large eE-
plotted masses has tremendously in
creased. The Central Committee
recently in its statement on the 18th
Party Anniversary declared: "At the
present time, which is characterized
by deep-going shifts in the ranks Of
the working class and sharp turn
to higher forms Of mass action
(sympathy strikes, general strikes a.,
the revolutionary activity OF the
Communist Party is growing, the in
fuence Of its slogans is increasing,
its contacts with the masses are
multiplying and becoming more firm,
and it's ranks are becoming more
numerous. The fractional struggle,
which plagued the Party for many
years, has become a thing Of the
past. With the expulsion Of the
Lovestone group from the Party and
the liquidation of the Trotzky group.
carried through in the latter part of
1929. under the leadership Of the
Executive Committee of the Com
munist International and Of Com
rade Stain, the Communist Party
Of the U. S. became consolidated
and was thus enabled to take up in
earnest the task of mass revolution
airy work dictated by the present
period"
Every worker who has been with
the Party knows that the statement
Of the Central Committee and the
consolidation Of the Party and its
growing influence over the workers
and exploited masses holds true in
every respect.
I'm the history Of the Commu-
mist Party of the U. S. there is en-
bodied the revolutionary experience
of the American proletariat during
the most eventful decades in the
history of the U. S. and the whole
world. Consequently, it is of the
highest Importance for our Party
! membership and for all class-con-
