3. The organixatory comprehen-
sion and Arm establishment Of Com
munist influence In all non-party la.
Dor organizations, above all In tina
trade unions, but at the same time
In the mass organization which are
being formed among the proletariat.
THE realization Of an active con-
L nectton between the leaders and
the members Of the party demands
the abolition OF Decentralization
and the employment Of fresh forces
not only In the central, but In all the
leading organs Of the party, especial
ly among the district leaders; it fur
Their demands the guarantee of col
lective work in the entire member
ship and the closest cooperation
with the Comintern.
Cooperation with the Comintern is
the more necessary that it enables
the party to be enriched by the expert
ences gained by the whole Interna.
tional.
Besides the reform OF the inner
party course, and the reorganization
on the basis of the factory cells, an
other factor of greatest Importance is
the rapid development of a system of
really Bolshevist party fractions, cap
able of practical work on their own
initiative, in every workers organiza-
ton, without exception, in which
there are Communists. This task is
by no means confined to the trade
!! unions, but applies equally to all other
non-party mass organizations, wheth-
er these have already existed for
long time, or whether they are just be-
ing formed. The Red Front Fighters
League affords the best example of
the new formation of proletarian mass
organizations on the basis of the fight
ing experiences of the German prole-
tariat. The rapid adaptation of the
party to such organizations (sport
associations, tenants league, free
thinkers league, Red women's league,
etc.,, and making use of the same for
strengthening trade union work, are
necessary.
A MONG the errors and defects of
"A the leadership Of the German c.
P, not the least is their completely
wrong policy with reference to the
young Communist league of Germany.
The numerical weakness and the diff
| ficulties experienced by the Youth
League in Germany are to be explain
ed TO a considerable extent by the fact
that the party has done next to moth
ing to aid the Youth League to attain
very much higher standard. The
main cause of the weakness of the
German Youth League lies, however,
in the fact that up to recently it has
trod the same wrong path which the
party has been led by its leaders,
and has shared all the errors of the
party. It is thus the more significant
that at the tenth party conference
only the youth openly and to the end
defended the proposals of the Comm
| tern. This is certain symptom that
| the youth has already begun to choose
the right path for itself, without the
aid of the party, and even in spite
Of the resistance made by the party
leaders. Therefore, the attitude of
the representatives Of the party lead
ers towards the youth was quite in
admissible as it found expression in
the obstruction at the party confer
ence. and the subsequent pressure"
put upon the central committee Of the
Youth Communist League Of Ger
many. The party must understand
the fact that the adoption OF such an
attitude with regard to the Young
Communist League is capable of de-
stroying the whole of the Commun-
list work which has been done among
the youthful workers; this work is,
however, one of the most important
prerequisites for the real Bolsheviza-
ton OF the party.
The organizations Of the rural and
| city petty bourgeoisie require the spe-
