leadership all the members Of the
party residing in the given town or
town-district, independent of nation
atty. The town and town district
committees which according to your
delegation, exist in New York and it's
districts, cannot meet the demands of
centralized party since they, in fact,
do not guide the party work; the work
is not carried out in the various ma
tional groups according to the instruc-
lions of the New York town or district
committees But the, situation is still
worse in other towns where there are
not town district committees, and
where there is no sign Of united party
work, since if the national groups re-
ceive its instructions at all regarding
party work, it is only from the bureau
of their own national section.
While devoting every possible atten-
ton to the creation of nuclei, the
party must also make it its aim to set
up district and town party commit
tees In the town district-into which

meetings must be summoned of all
the members of the nuclei already
formed and from all the national
groups still existing in the given town
district. If the number of members
in such district is too large to make
1t feasible to summon a general meet
ing, town district conference may
be summoned instead consisting of
delegates from all the nuclei and the
still existing national and other
groups of the given district. At the,
district meeting, or conference, a sim
gle town district committee for all
the national groups or nuclei should
be elected to carry out all the work Of
the district. Town committees should
be elected in similar way in small
towns, where it is not advisable to
mark off town district In very large
towns, such as New York, Boston,. Chi
cago, etc, the town committee should
be elected at the conference of town
district delegates elected at the dis
trict meetings or conference.
Some remark should be made con-
corning the election of town district
committees and the town committees
in small towns.
ME must make one, very important
W observation regarding the compo-
sition of town district and town COM
mittees, They must not be federal
bodies, or so to peak. coordinating
bodies, or. so to speak. lco-ordinating
CARDS himself as the representative
of his national group and believes.
his tasks to be to defend the interests
of Ibis own" national organization.
Therefore during the preparations for
summoning and conducting the cleo
toral meeting Cor conference) it must
be clearly emphasized that at the
meeting the participants must regard
themselves as members of a united
party and not as representatives of
national sections, and that questions,
even those which concern their sec
TONS, can only, and will only, be con-
sidered from the point of view of the
whole party. Similarly, the lists of
candidates for the district and town
committees must not be drawn up on
the principle of proportional national
representation. In the election to the
committee, one must consider the Ca
pacity of the comrades elected to
guide the party organization, and the
candidates must therefore be put for
ward only on INDIVIDUAL considera-
tions. Nevertheless, the candidates
should be selected from all the large
