For Practical Steps Toward Rapprochement
Dear Comrade Vereecken:
I have received your two letters that speak of the need to work together in the event of war. But politics in the event of war can only be the continuation of politics during peacetime. I am quite ready to do everything possible for a rapprochement, but your two letters contain no concrete suggestions. You have found the differences over entry to be important enough to separate yourself from our tendency. You condemn our internal regime. At the same time you call for the Fourth International. That is the actual situation. The Fourth International will not be composed only of Bolshevik-Leninists. For my part, I am completely for accepting your admission. But you represent a different tendency from ours with regard to politics and regime (and in addition, your attitude is incomprehensible). What practical steps can you suggest to me for a rapprochement that will be effective?
My best greetings,
L.D.T.
