Comrade Foster and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the United States of America:

We have learned with joy that the special convention of the Communist Political Association of the United States has decided to reject the revisionist and capitulationist line of Browderism, re-establish the leadership of Marxism, and reconstitute itself as the Communist Party of the United States of America. We extend our warm congratulations on this great victory of the Marxist movement of the American working class. Comrade Browder and his past work provided much appreciated assistance to the struggle of the Chinese people, but his entire revisionist and capitulationist line (fully expressed in his book *Teheran*) essentially reflects the influence of the reactionary U.S. capitalist clique within the American workers' movement. This reactionary capitalist clique now seeks to extend its influence abroad, supporting the anti-national and anti-democratic reactionary clique within the Chinese Kuomintang, thereby gravely threatening China with the danger of civil war and jeopardizing the interests of the two great nations, China and the United States, both during and after the war. The victory of the American working class and its vanguard, the Communist Party of the United States, in opposing the revisionist and capitulationist line of Browderism will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the ongoing anti-Japanese war waged by the peoples of China and the United States and to the great cause of building a peaceful and democratic world after the war.
