Altho the party organization re-
sponded well to this first part Of the
campaign there were many organiza-
tional defects, due mainly to our in
experience in this kind Of Communist
parliamentary activity. In future
work of this sort we can be certain
that even much better results will be
obtained because of these experiences
and the possibility Of organizing the
work much better beforehand. Never
theless we can feel that good start
has been made and now the job is
to put over the second part Of the
Communist election campaign, Abern
