Robertsonite Attack on the Party
Motion by the Political Committee
To All Branches
Dear Comrades
Robertsonite Attack on the Party
We are attaching for your information copies of a letter from
James Robertson and a statement submitted by the expelled leaders of the
Robertson faction. The Political Committee has adopted the following motion
concerning this new maneuver against the party:
In their statement of February 10 the expelled leaders of
the Robertson faction announce they will carry on open public work
and will make their criticism of the party known to the radical
public. On the heels of the statement they came out with a public organ
called Spartacist in which they open public attack on the party.
Although presented in the hypocritical guise of appealing
their expulsion to the next convention, the statement can only be construed as
a continuation of the splitting course long pursued within the party by the
Robertson faction. It is the elementary obligation of all comrades to repulse
the splitters and to serve notice that anyone undertaking to act as their
agents inside the party will be called to account.
All party branches are requested to keep the Secretariat
informed of the public activities conducted by Robertsonite splitters and to
promptly report any evidence of collaboration with them from within our
ranks.
Comradely yours, Farrell Dobbs National Secretary
