'hop Nuclei and the Communist Parties

not working in the factories are or
ganized in street nuclei. There is also
one factory nucleus paper.
2. Sweden: In Stockholm there are
factory nuclei in the larger industrial
centers. Under the old party lead
ership and up to the split there only
existed upon paper The new central
committee is devoting all its attention
to the carrying out of the.decisions of
the Fifth World Congress relating to
the reorganization of the party upon
the basis Of factory nuclei.
The Baltic States. The Communist
parties of Finland and Lithuania are,
for the greater part, and the Commun-
ist Party of Esthonia, completely, built
up upon the basis of the factory nuclei
system. In Latvia the party of the
Bolsheviks was organized upon the
basis of the factory nuclei, in indepen-
dent Latvia, however, the factory
nuclei disappeared in consequence Of
the lack of large-scale industry. They
are now being organized afresh.
Poland: There we're factory nuclei
in the old Polish social democracy and
also in the Russia Social Democratic
Workers Party (Bolsheviki.) However,
under the old leadership of the C. P.
Of Poland the skeleton of the party
the factory nuclei-completely disap-
peared in many districts, and in their
place came the loosely organized and
not very active free" circles, to which
not only party members but also
sympathizers belonged. Unfortu.
nately, the new leadership of the C. P.
which devoted all its forces to the
overcoming of the opportunistic devia-
tons in the party, does not pay suffici-
ent attention to the reorganization OF
the party upon the factory nuclei ba,
sis. The Young Communist League
Of Poland has achieved much greater
success in this connection. The free
circles" and the few women's circles
have been completely liquidated. The
factory nuclei of the Y. C. L. OF Po-
land shows great activity.
Austria: The Communist Party is
weak and it is continually torn, by
fractional struggles. According to the
reports submitted to the organiza,
tional department Of the e. C. of the
G. /. there are six factory nuclei in
Vienna, including one in the Warcha-
lowsh locomotive works with 500
members.
The Balkans: Bulgaria: The c. p.
quickly adapted itself to the new con-
ditions Of work, the conditions caused
by the fascist terror and the complete
illegality The organization of the
party on the basis of factory nuclei is
in process but has not yet ended. The
party members not working in the
factories are organized in territorial
and village nuclei.
Jugo-savia, Roumania and Greece:
The reorganization of the Communist
parties has begun. Factory nuclei ex-
list in all these countries.
From this short survey we can see
that the reorganization OF the Com.
munist parties upon the basis of fac.
tory nuclei is still in its opening
stage. At the same time the endeavor
is being made to utilize all party
members in the. activity. In this con.
nection, as we have seen, certain re.
suits have been obtained, but much
work still confronts us. We know
what great efforts this cost in the
Russian Communist Party. II will cost
still greater energy in the west and
in America, but nevertheless this work
has begun and is proceeding, IL only
