Parte del informe sobre la situación del PCC y del movimiento obrero de Cuba hecho por el representante del PC de EEUU George 1930 08 16 Again and again was told of the blanket way policy for Latin America is worked out as illustrated in the Draft Thesis on Latin America. The most vigorous protest is made at the lumping all Latin American countries into one category of peasant countries. putting Cuba and Bolivia in the same class. There was absolute confusion as to what is meant by the bourgeois democratic revolution which the Draft Thesis says should be the a im of all CPs in Latin America. Why should we fight for a bourgeois government, we have one now? Why should we fight for a bourgeois democratic constitution when we have one now, here in Cuba, but it don work? were some of the questions asked on this atter of the bourgeois democratic revolution. Genuine joy was shown when it was explained that they were not required under such confusing term, to fight for the bourgeoisie. It is my opinion that the confusion among many Latin American comrades over thi term is the cause why for tendencies to lean upon the petty bourgeoisie.
It may well have caused our Cuban comrades to have previously looked with a certain neutrality upon the Nationalist opponents to Machado.
There was great resentment at the asser tion in the Draft Thesis on that the CPC is connected with the Nationalists or is following them. was told that only for a brief period in 1927 did the CP assume a neutral attitude, when the Nationalists were first organized; then when it was learned that the Nationalists were intriguing at Washington the CP attacked them and has been doing so ever since. It was admitted that the attacks had not been sharp enough in view of strong Nationalist development and that now such attacks must tak e the foreground. Since the Nationalists leader Siegle had in the influenced the ANERC (emigre association formed by Mella 118) in which Cuban Communists in the were working, an inquiry on the attitude of the CPC toward the ANERC resulted in the answer that the ANERC was beyond their control, that it had branches in America and Europe which the Cuban CP could not direct and that the CPC had long ago disavowed any action of the ANERC. There is no doubt but that the CPC at present fully realizes the character of the Nationalists and is on the whole following the correct attitude toward them. The difficulty arises from the fact that our Party being secret and without press cannot meet the requirements exposing the Nationalists. Working behind th e legal veil of the s, the Party has, it was admitted, not sufficiently differentiated between the Party and the Nationalists, since the demands raised by the Trade Unions do not always go beyond the demands of the Nationalists.
