a Qualification of views and policies,

clarified views. There will be forms
of leadership based upon the various
views, and we can expect a continual
ton of this until there is crystalized
out of it party leadership which in
cludes all elements which can perform
their task in,the Bolshevization of the
party. And this process will take
place in the party itself.
New organizationaI Forms
Comrade Ruthenberg then took up
extensively the new organizational
forms to be achieved in the reorgan-
ization of the party. The reorganiza-
ton, he said, must not be viewed as
a mere formation of a new machinery
for organizational efficiency, but as
thing to be attained Because it will
give us political basis such as
party must have in order to become
a Bolshevilk party. Our scattered form
of organization in language and terri
torial branches is thing separat'
and apart from the mass of workers
and which therefore cannot influence
the workers in the shops and factor
les who must be the backbone of the
revolutionary movement It is exact
ly those workers who are massed to-
gether in the large industries who,
thru the experience of their collect

shop nuclei organized as proposed we
can become party imbedded in the
working class. The basic units of our

union fractions. The shop nucleus
form is a part of the basic principle
of organizing our party within the
masses and within the mass organiza-
lions of the workers.
Some Dangers of MisappIication
The reorganization on the basis of
shop nuclei, said Comrade Ruthen.

Some of our party members have al

in expressing the idea that this means
the "industrialization Of the party
This is mistake, said Ruthenberg.
Rather it means the greater poIiticai-
cation of the party. No one SHOULD
think that because the shop nuclc
becomes the basic unit of the party
therefore we are becoming some sort
Of new industrial organization. This
is an entirely wrong idea. The truth
is that thru the factory nuclei we can
reach out to the masses Of the work.

the factory, the frictions with the
management, the resentments of the
incidents of exploitation, as the basis
of our propaganda. Butif our com

at that and do not CARRY the implica-
tions further so as Ito connect the
small and isolated struggles in the
factories with the wider political pro-
blems of the working class, they will
not succeed in carrying on the work
for which the new form of organiza-
ton is created. fs
Centralized Apparatus
Comrade Ruthenberg then spoke of
the Capitalization of the party APP
