The consistent leadership OF the
u agitational and propaganda
work of the party, in all its forms
and expressions, verbal and written,
requires that special agitprop depart
ments be afiiliated to the central COM
mitees Of all the sections Of the Co
mintern, without consideration OF the
influence possessed by the party or of
the political conditions under which
it works.
2. The agitprop, acting under the
directions Of the c. c. Of the party,
drafts complete plan of every branch
of agitational and propagandist party
work, and controls the carrying out,
in every local organization, Of every
decision made with regard to these
questions by the party conference OF
by the c. C.
8. The C. c. of the party appoints
one of its members as head of the
agitprop department.
4. The head of the agitprop de-
partment of the c. c. is assisted by
an agitprop commission, consisting of
four to eight members appointed by
the C. C. of the party with the head
of the agitprop department as chair
man. This commission carries out
the whole of the preliminary work in
general questions of agitation and
propaganda, drafts the plan of work
for the departments, and distributes
the work amongst the members of the
commission. The commission should
meet regularly, at least once weekly.
5. In order to maintain communi-
cation between the work of the agit-
prop department Of the c. c. and the
other departments of the C. c., and
with the organizations related to the
Communist Party, and to render this
work consistent in character, the COM
mission will be participated in by rep
resentatives of the organization de
partment of the C. c., of the women's
secretariat, of the Young Communist
League, of the Red Sport Organize
lions, of the International Red Relief.
etc. Care should be taken that the
members appointed to the commission
are comrades familiar with education
al work in the trade union and coop
erative organizations. The head of the
agitprop department of the party or
ganization in the capital city is to be
called upon to attend the session of
the commission.
6. When dividing work into various
functions within the agitprop COM
mission, the department should OBJ
serve the following chief forms of
agitation and propaganda work, (a)
agitation among the masses; OBJ work
in the sphere of propaganda or party
education, and (c) the political peri
odic press. The agitprop commission
may form special sub-commission en-
surfing consistent work in these vari-
GUS branches. The members and re-
sponsible leader of these sub-commis-
sions are appointed by the agitprop
commission, subject to the approval
OF the C. c. of the party. The COM
rades forming these sub-commissions
need not necessarily be members of
the agitprop commission.
Z. The organization Of the sub-com-
missions mentioned under s. is by no
means compulsory, but must be made
to depend upon the real stage of de-
velopment and actual differentiation
Of the work in hand. In the case of
sections in which no great amount of
work has been accomplished as yet,
it sufFices to form small agitprop
department, consisting of three mem
bers Including the LEADER, without
any subdivision into sub-commissions.
