Dear Koston,
The break with the I.W.C. dislocated us for a month but now that premises have been found for the Spartacus Club we are getting up steam again. The new club opens tonight; our hall can seat 300 persons at least, is situated on the ground floor and opens into a main street inside the central shopping area. It has
/ hundreds of We have
main street inside the central shopping are two shop windows on the street passed by hu workers daily - books could be displayedpartitioned off the back as living quarters for Dick (Frieslich) and ourselves - in fact if we had not done so we would not have been able to stand the rent. Compared with the I.W.C., a poky little garret man the on the top floor of an ancient building without a lift and surrounded by dancing sbhools with their endless "My dog loves your dog our new place is a palace. eIt has in fact become necessary to organises side activities, classes, sports, etc, in order^not to waste our hall. The Alexandra Workers Club also opens next month if our funds permit.
I earnestly advise you to ignore completely the Declaration of Prognostication. A couple of fleas have got into our underpants - let's not scratch ourselves publicly.It would be too wearisome to have to describe to you in detail iust how insignificant these two are. Lake, not unintelligent, but spineless, chinless, characterless, limp, flabby. Blank, nlucked eyebrows, and peroxided, soulful, languishing, world-weary manner modelled on Tullulah Bankhead about whom she prattles constantly, hen-brained. The departure of Purdy (who v/as at least an enemy to be taken in consideration) has deprived them of the little stiffening and purposiveness which they had, and now they fade out m the manner of the retreating polecat. We cannot defend ourselves against every spiteful pinprick. We must take Trotsky's advice and develop thick hides.
About Sneevliet's enquiry, we cannot sell Nederlands pamphlets but we will take a single copy of each from you.Also I would like you either to send us Sneevliet's address or else write to him on our behalf asking for catalogues of radical books and pamphlets, (Stalinist;Socialist, etc) in Nederlands.
We have cot the Times and the Argus for the 27th September, not for tKe 28th. If you think these should be sent please get them. Am waiting for the air mail letter from Moscow.

To the WORKERS PARTY and
to the COMMUNIST LEAGUE, of South Africa.
Dear Comrades,
We have read with great interest and with great attention
the documents and letters which you have sent us. Especially we have
paid attention to the endeavours which both groups have applied to the
native question. It seems to us that precisely in Africa, in the
given situation, a large part of the points in dispute, which have led
even to a separation of the two groups, is moving into the background
in view of the immediate importance which Africa has acquired in the
last few weeks. We are therefore advising both groups, again and with
all seriousness, to take into consideration, instead of the dividing
differences, that which is common to both and to go together to the
immediate tasks.
The immediate tasks are characterised by the complication which
has been added to the Abyssinian-Italian conflict as a result of the
British attitude. The greatest, strongest, and most brutal imperial
istic colonial oppressor takes the role of the champion of freedom on
behalf of a black African nation and State which up till now has been
almost independent. And the British working class is following the
imperialist troubadours of peace, when in social-patriotic enthusiasm
it loudly proclaims through its greatest organisations — Trade Unions
and Labour Party 4- that for the sake of peace it is ready even to
resort to war against the peace-breaker, Italy, and to wage it with
out grumbling.
When British workers* organisations, instead of summoning their
colonial nations not only to defend Abyssinia, but also to set them
selves the task to achieve by fighting their independence from the
British (and generally from the white imperialist robbers and
slaveholders), are indulging in miserable imperialist prattling,
then, in this situation in Africa not to stress these things would
mean to make oneself an accomplice in the preparation for the next
imperialist war fry fooling the working class. That the S±xi±Hxi*s
Stalinists are in full agreement with this attitude, even though they
try to conceal it with their phraseology, is made clear enough by
their "behaviour in the League of Nations as well as by the eloquent
silence of the Seventh Congress on the Italo-Abyssinian conflict.
This lays upon real Communist groups everywhere, and especially
in Africa, the obligation to concentrate all their forces in order to
raise their voice clearly, unambiguously, unanimously, in order to
make organisational progress, in order to explain unequivocally to
the Natives that besides the white oppressors there are also white
revolutionaries, who proclaim the right of every nation to break
away from imperialism, and who in Africa emphasize that the white
oppressors have nothing to look for in Africa,
We are begging you, dear comrades, to maintain in future not
only the connection with us, but also between yourselves, that is, to
re-establish d earnestly the connection between the two
separate groups to the advantage of the entire movement.
With communist greetings

Dear comrades:
We wish to submit the following information on developments
in the W,P.9«S«
Hie struggle Carried on by the Left Wing against the opportunist tendencies of the Cannon regime representing the international S .P . orientation reached its climax at the Iliird Plenum 01 the part1/ held on October 4-10, New York City.
At this Plenum the majority definitely turned its back on the Party’ s Declaration of Principles, taking a centrist position*It has endorsed the international SP orientation of the iCL. It has accepted a resolution endorsing an SP orientation in a concealed form for the Party in the U .S . It has refused to take action against openly social patriotic elements in the Party. I t has accented a resolution on the war, ignoring the inseparable connection between the struggle of the world proletariat againsx t-»e imperialist war and the class struggle in the colonial or semi-colonial country against which an imperialist war is waged, our proposal for an international conference of parties and groups outside o* the 2nd and 3rd Internationals, to be called on the question of struggle against war and social patriotism and thus broadening die basis for the launching of the 4th International, was voted aown.A substitute motion was accepted, to authorize the Contact Commission to call an International Conference for the immediate establishment of the 4th International. Thus, by proposing to limit the scope of the conference, the Plenum took a step toward isolating the forces of the 4th International - i n the direction of sectarianism. In the only national issue on the agenda, the question of unemployment, it accepted a resolution which commits the party to the role of tailenders to the 3P. Finally, it took steps for the expulsion of the Left Wing.
The Plenum was supposed to open up the pre-convention discussion period of three months. All the decisions were supposed ta be submitted to the membership for final action to be taken at the Convention. While the opportunists already had and will have unlimited opportunities to present and defend their opportunist position in the Party press, the Plenum deprived the Left Wing of the same right. While the opportunists have unlimited apportunity to present their views to the working class, the Left wing was prohibited even from the publication of the International News. The possibility of ^resenting the Left Wing position was restricted to a couple of issues of an internal bulletin. While the opportunists will have an opportunity to present their position to Party branches in the course of two national tours arranged during the pre-convention cis- cuaaion period, the Left Wing wae refused the right of presenting its -position in the same manner. When the representatives of Jie Left Wing made a categorical statement to the effect that we do not submit to the bureaucratic suppression of our right topresent our views to the Party membership and the working class, the Political Committee has been authorised by the Plenum to expel the Left Wing, wither individually or en bloc.
?xPulsion took place at the Plenum. All that14+ 6 Cofflnitte# is the attachment of the seal
of formality any day it sees fit to do so.
During the last few months the Left V*ring had been organized f t , * National Committee had been elected, a rounded-out
pro^ram h ^ t^en worked out on all international and national issues. International connections had been established and devtlop-
We request you the continuation of exchanging information and views. A latter, giving a detailed analysis of the situation in the L .3 . will follow in a short time.
