The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-01-12

'esults attained in each district in all
The forms Of our activities, such as the
increase in the membership of our par
ty, the strengthening of the function
ing of the branches, the circulation of
our papers and the distribution Of
literature, the progress of the work
of the Y. w. L., the progress of our
work in the unions, etc Such Offices
should not be supported, nor men kept
on the pay roll, who do not show
regular increases in these various
forms of our activities.
f. A better system must be attained
in sending out speakers, so that the
work carried on by the spoken work
shall be transformed into actual organi-
cation work, and not merely trips to
collect funds from the best centers of
the party The sending out of speak
ers, while it may be enlivened, should
be arranged to take place by districts
for systematic organization work.
wherein the results shall not be meas
ured wholly by individual collections
and the sacrifices of the party mem
bership, but by what has been accom-
plished in building up new party units
and in circulating literature and
papers.
g The national Office shall arrange
its outward correspondence and its
circularization work, as we'll as it's
general subscription campaigns, as
centralized as possible, so that the
duplication and the duplication of
every new move of the party may be
avoided, and the party membership
shall not be exhausted by innumerable
letters on the same subjects. I'M
provements in this respect will save
the party funds for more rational or
ganization workNand will bring about
better results in the general campaign
carried on by circular letters.
NJ The general campaigns by ap-
peals to the membership and supper
tiers must be decreased, be better
considered, so that each campaign will
bring better results.
il In the outward propaganda work
of our party all the attention of the
party must be conferred from time to
time on the circulation of The DAILY
WORKER, The Workers Monthly and
party literature. The party should
recognize that propaganda work thru
this channel is superior to all other
methods, but when editing these in
struments of propaganda the purpose
of these instruments should be borne
in mind. The DAILY WORKER should
be edited in a manner, so that the
membership of the party and its sup
porters shall receive thru the paper
an actual and comprehensive illus
tration of the party work, the relation
of its strength and the general situa-
ton both nationally and internation-
ally. Sensational exaggeration should
be avoided, for it leads the workers
astray and when they get accustomed
to see it they cease to have confidence
in their own paper. We would con-
slider it good thing if those determin-
ing the editorial policy of The DAILY
WORKER would free themselves from
the methods of the bourgeoisie press,
especially in the instances where it
before long carries its own revenge.
The definitions of the c. L.. as to what
a workers paper should be, we con-
slider especially fitting and can certi-
fly thereto upon the basis of our own
experience.
j In so far as serious situations
causing crises among the party mem
bership cannot be avoided, on account
of differences of opinion, or in other
serious situations, we would favor that
occasional party bulletins be taken adj
vantage of, which, would be circulated
only among membership THU the
locals, instead that the party leaves
