meeting at a time of tremendous oppor- tunities for Communists. The British working class, as part of the working international class, is moving into action against the em- ployers and the govern- ment as never before. Such a growth of militancy in the working class should • create the best possible con- ditions for the building of revolutionary leadership and the development of Marxist theory. Yet your Party not only stagnates in this situation, it is openly in decline. This apparent contradiction is acknowledged by your in leaders. Writing the 'Morning Star' of Saturday, November 1, Reuben Falber, Party assistant Communist secretary had this to say: "The built-in right - wing majorities at the TUC and Labour Party conferences are being whittled down. The left has been transformed from a minority majority on to many major issues. ... There is more for Com- support munist policies than for many The Communist years past. Party has succeeded in break- ing down many barriers and is working with wide sections of the people on a variety of Marxist ideas questions. are being studied more closely and argued, keenly about more especially among young people.

"Yet, since the last Congress, the membership of the Com- munist Party is nearly 2,000 less and the circulation of the "Morning Star" is down.' (Our emphasis.) What explanation do your leaders give for this extra- ordinary state of affairs?

"The executive committee in its draft resolution has given its analysis of the for this. Its main reasons point is that the very success of the left has led many workers outside the Party to believe that their present position is enough. Congress this' (Falber, must answer 'Morning Star, November 1, 1969.) Your Congress cannot answer this question unless it in pri faces up to the history of the British Communist Party and the political record of its present leaders. All the basic questions of Party history, now posed more sharply than ever before by Soviet the occupation Czechoslovakia, have to be answered by those seeking to give communist leadership to British working class the today. T workers leave than join HE reason why more the Party is not, as your leadership claims, because the working class is content with non-political militancy and does not see the need to have build communist leadership.

That is an evasion of the main question and an insult to the political level of the working class in Britain today.

Although it is not on the agenda, the number-one ques- before your Congress tion is the complicity of many of your leaders in the crimes and betrayals of Stalinism. The real reason why your Party, despite its constant recruiting and sales drives, no headway makes in the working class and the youth today because Gollan, Matthews and the rest conceal and refuse to face up to their political pasts. Everyone struggling to become a communist makes mistakes, often great ones.

The making of such errors, together with the attempt to understand and correct them, is essential for the develop- ment of Marxist theory. But when truly errors are committed, and far from being understood and corrected are not even properly acknow- ledged, then here surely we have an attack on Marxism.

This is the position of your secretary, general present John Gollan. Everybody knows, now especially since the 20th and 22nd Congresses of the Soviet Communist Party, that two- members of thirds of the Lenin's Central Committee murdered by Stalin were in fact completely innocent of all 'charges' against them. At the time of the three Moscow Trials and the purge of the military leaders, your Party leaders, Gollan included, wholeheartedly supported the closest foul They endorse the slanders that were hurled against these humiliated, tor- What to do with t

Now, when confronted by a evidence mountain that everything they said and wrote Trotskyism about was lies, they proceed as if nothing had changed. It is for reasons such as this Party that your is in decline. Until the whole truth is told about your Party's past, most workers simply will not support it or join it.

Stalin, theory and 'For practice are one.

And in so doing, he himself has enriched and Marxism-Leninism.' developed ('Lenin's Teachings' by John Gollan, 'Communist Review', February 1950. Since Stalin's death, this 'analysis' absurd his theoretical talents has been debunked-by N. S. Khruschev: •... we will be forced to do in order to much work examine critically from the Marxist-Leninist viewpoint and to correct the widely spread erroneous views connected with the cult of the individual in the sphere of history, philosophy, economy and of other sciences, as well as in literature and in the fine arts.'

(Report to 20th Congress of the CPSU, 1956.) In one stroke, the whole of Stalin's 'enrichments developments of Marxism- Leninism' were reduced to zero. But Gollan remains silent, as he does on the events at and surrounding the 19th Congress of the CPSU, held in Moscow in October 1952. With the late Harry Pollitt, Gollan was your party's delegate to fraternal that Congress. It was held at the peak of Stalin's last purge, one which certainly equalled those of the 1930s, and without doubt sur- passed it in its racialist over- tones. For the main thrust of Stalin's last witch-hunt was directed against national minorities, in particular the Jews. • After the 20th Party Con- gress, a delegation from your Party visited the Soviet Unior to investigate allegations of the of persecution Soviet Jewry. This is what they found: "The Soviet Encyclopedia, which in its 1932 edition devoted about 160 columns to the Jews, reduces this in the 1952 edition to four columns.

The biographies of many eminent Jews have been removed. Marx was no longer referred to as a Jew. Then came the discovery from private conversations by Com- rade Levy with Jews that the years 1948-1952 were known among them as "The Black Years" ', the period during which many Jews were dis- missed from their posts, Jewish poets and writers were arrested and charged with treason and executed.. "Those arrested and charged in prominent secret were political or cultural workers.

Shortly after his arrest, the immediate relatives the of would be arrested man deported to distant some place and there set to work, and often at low wages. 'Finally, the husband would be shot, perhaps after torture, to try to force him to confess or to incriminate others. In this way, practically the whole of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee liquidated.' was ('World News', CPGB weekly, January 12, 1957.) the Moscow That was visited by Gollan and Pollitt in October 1952. But they had eyes for other things. They were not concerned, or perhaps did not even notice, that the whole of the Soviet Union was gripped by a terror that it has proved so vast impossible to calculate its victims even to the nearest million. John Gollan did bring back a report from that Congress, but it was not on Stalinist anti-Semitism: "The final session took place on October 14 [1952] at 9 p.m.

•.. everyone was discussing: the Communist Party of would Comrade Stalin speak, and if he did speak, what would he speak about? 'As you know, he did speak .. He came to the micro- phone, drew his notes out of his pocket, amidst a tremen- dous demonstration affection from everybody, and then he started to address us friendly, in conversational tones. .. Stalin's speech was ten minutes of concentrated and unique political wisdom advice. You know the general theme. ... It is amazing this con- fidence which always comes from Stalin. . . Of course we all went from the hall full of fighting spirit as never before' (J. Gollan, "Towards Com- munism', Report of 19th Con- gress of the CPSU, held in Moscow in October 1952. Gollan, with H. Pollitt, was the fraternal delegate from the

CPGB.)

One of the Soviet Party leaders who caught Gollan's attention at the Congress was Beria, L. head of Stalin's terror machine and personally responsible for the death of countless Soviet citizens.

What Gollan particularly admired in Beria was his approach to the national minority peoples of the Soviet Union: 'There was the remarkable speech by Comrade Beria which dealt with Soviet national policy. He said there are now no backward nations in the USSR. There are only modern socialist states. Back- ward nations don't exist be- cause factual inequality and cultural backwardness have been abolished . . . on the basis of five things •.. Fifth, the triumph of the ideology of friendship among nations.'

• (Ibid.) Gollan's 'Comrade Beria' and especially his national policy, were reviewed in a different light less than a year end of the 1952 after the Congress: 'Beria, a now exposed enemy of the people, through various careerist machinations wormed his a position of way into confidence, and threaded his way to the leadership . . • In various treacherous ways Beria tried to undermine the friendship of the peoples of the USSR, the very basis of multi-national socialist the state ... tried to sow discord the peoples of the among USSR: ('Pravda', July 10, 1953.) Once again we must ask you, has this truly colossal error of political judgement ever been acknowledged, let alone and analysed corrected, by your leaders? Gollan was a delegate from your Party to the 19th Con- gress of the CPSU. He brought back a report which was from end to end a pack of lies and distortions, riddled with most fawning adulation for Stalin, Beria and company. Yet four years later, Gollan became the general secretary of your Party. arty of Great Britain On what political grounds can this promotion be ex- plained other than that he had proved himself to be a consis- tent adherent of the cult of Stalin? The 25th Congress of your Party, in April 1957, endorsed, against much opposition, the following analysis of Stalin: 'Stalin defended the unity of the Party against factional dis- ruption after the death of Lenin and conducted a victori- ous fight for the principles of Marxism-Leninism against ten- dencies which would have destroyed the Party and the Soviet Union ... 'Stalin stood for and de- fended the basic principles of socialism. That was his great positive achievement, while his errors, alien to Marxism, were his negative, secondary side.

Those who the term use "Stalinism" in attacking the

JOHN GOLLAN

abuses, in effect repudiate the whole of Stalin's work.. (Report, p. 66.) So even after all the revela- tions about Stalin made at the 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956, the further facts which came to light after the Polish and Hungarian up- heavals, Gollan and company still clung to Stalin. That re- mains their position today. HRUSHCHEV'S report Kon Stalin, delivered at the end of the 20th Party Congress, made the eulogies of Pollitt, Dutt, Klugmann, Rothstein and Johnstone look absurd:

Fight harder-save peace! by HARRY POLLITT TODAY, countless milliens of people in every country in th world are plunged into the deepest grief at the news that the heart of the most outstanding revolutionary leader of all times— COMRADE JOSEPH STALIN —has ceased to beat.

The leader of all progressive mankind, of all who love peace, value democracy, treasure their national independence, and desire the establishment of Socialism so that poverty, unemploy- ment and war shall be banished for ever, has died.

... Through all the storms of a thunderous dawn, of the dissolution of an old era and the birth of a new, he steered the ship of human hopes and unflinching aspirations with tenacity, courage, judgement and confidence. Now the road lies plain ahead. Departing, he could say with Bunyan: "My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me" •.. Like a penetrating searchlight, the loss of Stalin laid bare the contours of the

He said there are now no backward nations in the USSR. There are only modern socialist states. Back- ward nations don't exist be- factual inequality and cause cultural backwardness have been abolished . . . on the basis of five things ... Fifth, the triumph of the ideology of friendship among nations' • (Ibid.) Gollan's 'Comrade Beria', and especially his national policy, were reviewed in a different light less than a year after the end of the 1952 Congress: 'Beria, a now exposed enemy of the people, through various careerist machinations wormed his way into a position of confidence, and threaded his way to the leadership . . .

various treacherous ways Beria tried to undermine the friendship of the peoples of the USSR, the very basis of the multi-national socialist state ... tried to sow discord the peoples of the among USSR.' ('Pravda', July 10, 1953.) Once again we must ask you, has this truly colossal error of political judgement ever been acknowledged, let alone analysed and corrected, by your leaders? Gollan was a delegate from your Party to the 19th • Con- gress of the CPSU. He brought back a report which was from end to end a pack of lies and distortions, riddled with fawning most adulation for Stalin, Beria and company. Yet four years later, Gollan became the general secretary of your Party.

arty of Great Britain On what political grounds can this promotion be ex- plained other than that he had proved himself to be a consis- tent adherent of the cult of Stalin? The 25th Congress of your Party, in April 1957, endorsed, against much opposition, the following analysis of Stalin: 'Stalin defended the unity of the Party against factional dis- ruption after the death of Lenin and conducted a victori- ous fight for the principles of Marxism-Leninism against ten- dencies which would have destroyed the Party and the Soviet Union ... 'Stalin stood for and de- fended the basic principles of socialism. That was his great positive achievement, while his errors, alien to Marxism, were his negative, secondary side.

(Report, p. 66.) So even after all the revela- tions about Stalin made at the 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956, and the further facts which came to light after the Polish and Hungarian up- heavals, Gollan and company still clung to Stalin. That re- mains their position today.

HRUSHCHEV'S report the end of the 20th Party Congress, made the eulogies of Pollitt, Dutt, Klugmann, Rothstein and Johnstone look absurd:

MONTY JOHNSTONE

TISH PARTY HISTORY

of Stalin as a leader was his wonderful combination of a deeply scientific approach to all problems with his capacity for feeling and expressing him- self in simple and • direct human terms. ... His human- ity always prevented him from becoming doctrinaire. ...

It was this profound feeling for the people and for people as individuals that gave Stalin himself his sure touch in good and bad times alike. . . Stalin's concern for men and women also found expression in his concern for the advance- ment of oppressed people and nationalities. ... In the world as a whole, it will be Stalin's solution to the nationalities question that has made the most last- ing impact. (J. D. Bernal, 'Stalin as Scientist', 'Modern Quarterly'

[CPGB

theoretical journal], Summer 1953.) and D. N. PRITT : we can indeed be • . . thankful of the Stalinist developments of our history.

... Confident as we contem- plate his work, we can say "Farewell, Comrade Stalin, we thank you for all you have done, and all you have led the masses to do, to make a richer, beautiful, more more peaceful world". 9 "Labour (D. N. Pritt, Monthly', April, 1953.) HRUSHCHEV'S 20th Congress report gave you just a glimpse of Stalin's 'richer, more beautiful, more peaceful world'; and parti- cularly his national policy, which Bernal rightly claims lasting 'made the most impact' : 'All the more monstrous are initiator was the acts whose Stalin and which are rude violations of the basic Lenin- ist principles of the nationality policy of the Soviet State. We refer to the mass deportations from their native places of whole nations, together with all Communists and Komso- mols without any exception...

Thus, already at the end of 1943, ... a decision was taken and executed concerning the deportation of all the Karachai from the lands on which they lived. In the same period, at the end of December 1943, the same lot befell the whole population of the autonomous Kalmyk Republic. In March 1944, all the Chechen and Ingush peoples were deported and the Chechen - Ingush autonomous Republic was liquidated. • 'In April 1944, all Balkars were deported to faraway places from the territory of the Kabardino-Balkar autonomous.

the Republic Republic and itself was renamed the auto- Kabardian Republic. nomous 'The Ukrainians avoided meeting this fate only because there were too many of them was no place to and there which to deport them. Other- wise, he would have deported them also? In the same report, Khrush- chev dealt with the activities of Gollan's 'Comrade Beria', described whom Khrushchev as an 'abject provocateur and •. who murdered vile enemy, thousands of Communists and loyal Soviet people. :•. It has now been established that this villain had climbed up the ladder over government an untold number of corpses'.

for Gollan's much 'Comrade Beria'! Khrushchev also described in some detail what Gollan had called Stalin's 'friendly, conversational tone': Stalin personally called the investigative judge, gave him instructions, advised him on which investigative methods should be used; these methods were simple - beat, beat and, once again, beat.' (These 'investigations' were in connection with the so- called 'Jewish Doctors' Plot', in full swing while Gollan and Pollitt were in Moscow attend- ing the 19th CPSU Congress.)

T HEN there is the ques- tion of the Tito affair. It is true that in this parti- cular case, the admission of a 'mistake' was made by your Party leadership, but this only came about after Khrushchev had visited Tito in Belgrade and publicly apologised for all the abuse hurled at the Yugo- slav Communist Party under Stalin. It still remains to be ex- plained how such statements as the following ever came to be made, in view of the fact that from the war until the break with Stalin, Tito had been one the European communist leaders most admired by your Party: John Gollan, writing in 1950: "The people's democratic regimes ... have exposed and the efforts of internal crushed reaction, backed and financed by Anglo-American imperial- ism, particularly its spearhead, Tito clique, to restore the capitalism... 'All this calls for the streng- thening of the Party, increasing its vigilance and Marxist under- standing, • Tito exposing the clique and the war policy of the British Labour government in supporting Tito before the entire labour movement, and doing all within our power to enable the people of Yugoslavia to rejoin the democratic [i.e.

Stalin's] camp' "Lenin's Teachings, Commun Gollan, ist Review, February 1950.)

But the main attack on Tito undertaken James was Klugmann, who in the early post-war years knew the Yugo- slav leader personally. In 'Labour Monthly' of September 1946, Klugmann wrote: "The new army, led by Josip Broz-Tito, Communist leader and Zagreb metal worker .. • was truly representative of the people' In 'Communist Review' for January Klugmann's 1950, estimation of Tito had under- gone a dramatic change: "The report of Comrade Gheorghiu-Dej and the resolu- tion that arose from it showed how, since the second confer- ence of the Communist Infor- mation Bureau in July 1948, the Tito-Rankovic gang had passed from bourgeois-national- ism ta fascism... "The Rajk trial and other similar trials have shown that the Tito gang of Trotskyites and foreign agents, having got control of the leadership of the former Yugoslav Com- munist Party, betrayed the liberation struggle of the Yugo- slav people to British imperial- ism already in the course of the war, and following the war became the agents of American imperialism in their war plans and counter-revolutionary con- spiracies directed against the Soviet Union and the People's Democracies ... "Thus the tasks outlined by the Information Bureau reso- lution on "Yugoslavia", , tasks of vigilance against enemy agents, of lifting the ideological level of the Party, explanation of the role of the Titoites as imperialist spies and agents...

are tasks of the utmost import- ance for British Communists and for the British working class. (J. Klugmann, 'Informa- tion Bureau Meeting', 'Com- munist Review', January 1950.)

Vile though these slanders were, they obviously did not satisfy Stalin. In 1951, Klugmann's book 'From Trotsky to Tito' was published by your Party. This work is packed from cover to cover with lies and slanders against all of Stalin's

opponents, reaching, as the title indicates, from Trotsky to Tito. Space permits only a handful to be quoted: In the Soviet Union the great conspiracy of the im- perialists which began with Kolchack and Denikin con- with Trotsky and tinued Bukharin. . . . And the work of Trotsky and Bukharin is continued by the Titoites.

"The Titoite clique serve western imperialism abroad as the MIS and FBI agents serve it at home.' (pp. 78-79.)

'Under the rule of the Tito- ites, Yugoslavia has returned to capitalism, but not to capi- talist democracy. Yugoslavia today is a semi-colonial coun- try ruled over by a reactionary caste operating a police state of a fascist type.' (pp. 150-151.)

Those of us, like myself, who in the early stage were G deceived by the maneouvres of the Titoites, can well under- stand the gratitude that we and indeed that the owe ta people of all countries owe, re to the wisdom of the warnings given by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. th 'Indeed, we only have to think what might have cli happened if the Communist es Information Bureau, on Soviet initiative, had not warned and had not unmasked the plots of ac the Tito gang, to understand the debt of all progressive people to th le munists. 'In the interests of the inter- Br national solidarity of the work- Sc ing people, of peace and of socialism-the combatting of ex Titoism, instrument of im- perialist rule, is an urgent and ab honourable task.'

Khrushchev insisted that this point could be confirmed by the leaders of your Party.

Demand at Congress that this question be answered by Gollan: Was Stalin responsible for the removal of the demand for a Soviet Britain from your Party's programme, and its re- placement by a 100 per cent social - democratic perspeçtive of winning power through a parliamentary majority? Make Gollan answer this question. OUR party follows op- portunist policies today because of its opportunist past, because of your leaders' Anglia 1205 8 Ne Ball: 120 RacingS 3.10 Racing.

slavish adherence to the politics of Stalinism, the core of which is the theory of peaceful-co-existence between the working class and im- perialism. This is the reason why your Party is in decline. Reformism today is in crisis everywhere and the British Communist Party is no ex- ception. Stalinism, the theory of the counter - revolutionary Soviet bureaucracy, is a tremendous burden weighing down on every Communist Party mem- ber struggling to give leader- ship to the British working class. As the 'Daily Worker' of March 6, 1953, rightly said, 'Stalin Lives' - in the leader- ship of your Party. Class unity between the Socialist Labour League and the Communist Party on urgent questions of the day is both necessary and possible.

But to make such a unity the basis for the construction of a genuine mass movement in this country, the questions that we have posed to you in this open letter have to be answered. Your leaders seek 'left unity' with trade union leaders like McGarvey and 'left' MPs such as Heffer who both defend the British monarchy from the attacks of its critics. It is time to break with such leaders, and begin the fight inside your Party against the opportunism represented by Gollan and Matthews. In this fight, you will have our full support. Stalinism as a political tendency must be destroyed.
