C. P. SEEKS NO MIDDLE COURSE

relation of mutual trust should be established
between us and the Social Democratic workers.
is necessary among members of one aim and the
same class. One proof of the fact that our offers
fer unity of action with the Social-Democratic
workers are Straightforward and honestly meant is
that declare in advance to the Socia-Democratic
Parties that the Communist Parties refused to sur
render so much as syllable of their fundamental
standpoint on any single question. We declare
openly Our persistent striving for the unity of
action Of the working class does not mean for a
moment that we are looking for middle course
between Social-Democracy and Communism, be-
tween refornism and revolutionary tactics, or that
we would be disposed to adopt such middle course
We hold that unity of action for the immediate
interests of the working class against the bour-
geoise, that the common struggle against the i'm
mediate dangers with which the capitalists are
threatening all the toers is possible at once. This
common struggle can be begun without delay, with
out waiting for the Social-Democratic workers to
adopt our program and tactics in their entirety.
Nor do we seek to make secret of the fact that
the Communist Parties of the individual countries
are centralized and united in single world party,
in the Communist International. This does not, of
course, mean that the leadership of the Comn1u-
mist International itself decides all questions
fronting the individual Communist Parties. 1t is
obvious, however, that the decisions of the indvid-
ual Communist Parties arrived at on the basis
of the program of the Congress decisions and the
resolutions of the Plenums of the Executive Com
mttee of the Communist International.

munist Parties to the Social-D Democratic Parties,
with view to establishing unity of action have
been made on the basis of the decisions of the
Communist International
Any Social Democratic worker can convince
himself by the study of public document that
the Executive Committee of the Communist Inter
ler's advent to power, recommended its sections
leaders in order that the Socal-Democratc and
Communist workers might together wage the srug
gle against fascism and against the offensive of
capital Here is the text of this proposal
Tn the face of fascism which is attacking
the working class of Germany and unleasng all
the forces of world reaction, the Executive Com
n7itce of the Communist international calls upon
all Communist Parties to make one attempt
to establish a united front together with the
ocaI-Democratic working masses through the
medium of the Social Democratic parties. The
E. C. c. l. is making this attempt in the firm
conviction that the united front of the working
class for the struggle against the bourgeoisie
would repuIse the offensive of capital aad OF fas
cism and would hasten on to an extreme degree
the inevitable end of all capitalist exploitation.
"In view of the peculiar conditions of individ-
ual countries and the difference of the concrete
tasks of struggle confronting the working class
in each OF them, agreements between the
Communist Parties aud the Social Democratic
