But here want to deal only with
the work of the nuclei in the factories
and with the distribution of functions
among nuclei members, which among
other things should give an impetus
to the activity of all party members,
thereby providing an opportunity to
draw the best elements Of the work
ing class into our Communist Parties.

with the distribution Of work among
nucleus members.
1T seems to us that the distribution
of work within the nucleus should

1. If there is a factory committee
in the factory including nucleus mem
bers, it should carry out the instruc-
tons of the party in the course of it's
work; these are at the same time the
instructions of the nucleus.
TN the factory committee they form
the Communist fraction which is
connected with the nucleus bureaus.
But in the event of the factory COM
mittee not including any Communists,
the nucleus bureau should instruct
some of the nucleus members to keep

of the factory committee, to elaborate
various proposals on questions of In
