Eight Questions Answered
BY JAY LovEsToNE.

EIN1E organization department OF the
4 Central Executive Committee is
receiving many questions from COM
rades in various parts of the country
regarding the rebuilding of the party
along the lines laid down by the last
national convention, along the lines of
shop nuclei and international branch
es.
Comrade Christensen, secretary of
the Scandinavian Federation, has sub
mitted to us eight questions which
are Of sufficient Importance, and of
sufficiently general character, to
warrant reply to them in the party
press.
We herewith reprint these ques-
tions, and answer them.
| QUESTION No. 4: Should fedora
" tons continue to exist outside the
party, as independent propaganda or
CARNATIONS directed by party nuclei?
ANSWER: With the re-organiza-
ton of the party, the declarations will
cease to exist as independent propa-
ganda units of the party. All party
members today found in language
branches will be party members, eth
err thru their membership in shop
nucleus, or an international branch.
These are to be the only units of our
party thru which membership in our
party is to be held.
But comrades who are today mem
bers of various language sections of
the party will also function in what is
called special language fractions in
the workers club, wherever these are
language branch members and new
non-party proletarians, as we'll as in
other working class organizations con-
tanning non-party proletarians. These
special language fractions will con-
sist Of those comrades in every lang
uage workers club who belong to
shop nucleus or an international
branch. The present language branch
es have to be re-organized as workers
clubs not affiliated to the party These
workers clubs will in no way be con-
nected with each other, neither ma
tionally nor even on a district scale.
These workers clubs are not to be lC-
cally co-ordinated, Only the Com
munist fractionsswill have connections
with each other as provided for in the
constitution.
QUESTION No. 2: If the fedora
W tions are to be dissolved entirely,
what sort of machinery are we sup
posed to set up to take their place, if
any? ~
| ANSWER: The existing language
branches, after reorganized as work
ers' clubs, will no longer be units of
the party. We repeat that the only
units of our party upon reorganiza-
ton will be the shop nucleus and the
international branch. These party
units take over all the party work of
the declarations. There will be no
special national language machinery
to take over the activities of the fed
erations, as such,
The language fractions of the work
ers' clubs are auxiliary organizations
of the party for Communist work
amongst the proletariat of particu-
lar language group. Only party mem
bers affiliated to shop nuclei or in
ternational branches and paying dues
to these basic party units can be men,
bers of such language fractions.
The constitution provides the regu-
lations for the functioning of lang
uage fractions along the lines of sub
sections, sections, or city, ETC., and for
the calling of special district, and if
necessary, national conferences of
these language fractions by the dis
