Dear Friend:
Jim's two letters interested me very much. They confirm for me that the main question of the current discussion revolves around the American situation. But not only from the viewpoint of perspectives and the place of America in the World Revolution.
I believe that agreement can be had relatively easily on that, and I don't believe there can be people there who, either by minimizing or completely neglecting the "Theses" of 1946, by arguing that the Third WC has rendered them, in any manner whatsoever, superfluous.
As Jim said, the "Theses" actually form a unity with the documents of the Third WC and constitute a fundamental document for our international movement and for the American organization in particular.
However I have thought that the discussion is likewise revolving around what entirely immediate policy the organization ought to follow in the months to come and not in the years to come.
The present difficult situation weighs upon the organization and it is almost inevitable that the discussion demonstrate the necessity of knowing what should be done, not tomorrow but today, by basing itself upon the existing concrete conditions.
As it proceeds we shall see.
I appreciate your letters very much which help me to see more clearly into the situation amongst yourselves.
Very Fraternally
