The Reorganization ofthe Workers Party
N LETTER TO C. E. COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL

and be made active advocates of re-
organization. The Central Commit
tee and the other competent party
committees must direct this campaign
in the press 1t will thereby become
possible still further and still more
extensively to acquaint the members
Of the party with the proposed recon
struction and its absolute necessity
and usefulness. The comrades be-
longing to the national sections must
understand that their organization is
not measure directed against the
national sections, but that it exclu-
sively pursues the general aims of the
party and is in the interests of the
whole party, including the national
sections themselves. The aim of re-
organization is not, by clumsiness and
carelessness to destroy the organiza-
lions and work created by the ma
tional sections, but to strengthen the
organizational influence of the Work
ers Party over the proletarians of all
nationalities in the United States. BY
making use Of all the available mate
rial, by demonstrating the advantages
of the new forms of Organization over
the old, by treating the question Sc
riously and in a business-like fashion
and insistently quoting the arguments
in favor of the reorganization of the
Workers Party, insistently repeating
them if necessary in the press, at
party meetings, conferences, etc., the
leading organs of the party may
achieve success, all the more since
the first practical steps and the sue
cess which accompanies them win
speak eloquently in favor of the course
adopted.
The second point is this: Perhaps
in addition to the inevitable conserva-
lives and sceptics there VIII be found
comrades who underestimate the diff
culties and who will want to break up
the national sections before the new
form Of organization-the nuclei-wilI
be sufficiently numerous and strong

region and sufficiently adapted to life.
to serve as foundation for the new
form of party organization. We issue
warming against such a step. ONLY
when the town district and town
committees, as the result of the or.
ganization of factory and street nuclei
establish close contact with these nu-
clel, Will it be possible finally to re-
organize the old organization. the ma
tioHal sections and the given town

something in its place, would he ~.
