IRE. The factory nucleus must possess
o special organ, competent to rogu-
late, prepare, and lead the whole Of
this work.
THE most important form Of pre-
L paration for Agitprop work among
party members consists of systematic
party education, and in the study OF
the fundamental principles of the
party program and party tactics.
Workers sympathizing with the party
must be invited to take part in every
meeting and every session of the fac
tory cells, and on every such occasion
some question of general political lite
or some matter pertaining to the fac
tory or shop should be discussed. This
must not be done in the form Of an
agitation speech, but must be a care
fully prepared report explaining the
connection between the urgent daily
question under discussion and our pro-
gram and main lines of tactics, and
thus enabling congratulations to be
drawn from the events of daily work,
and the audience induced to take part
in the discussion of the most import
ant questions of our party work. An
intimate acquaintance with the whole
of the members of nucleus renders
it possible to select those members
possessing superior abilities and most
closely connected with the party, and
to form separate circles for the study
of the theory and practice of feminist
Marxism. (See Syllabus for Elemen-
tary Party Courses, published in TN
precorr" No. 5, January Is, 1925.)
THE best of these comrades should
L then be selected for training in the
party schools or educational oppor-
tunities provided by the organization.

democratic party, factory owner,
etc. This is to be so arranged that
there are judges, public attorney, de-
Tending barrister, witnesses for and
against, etc.
TT will be seen that various forms
4 of agitation and propaganda work
may be created. Every form requires
careful preparation, organization and
study, and thus implies the formation
Of special organ. The nucleus work
done In the Russian G. P. during the
last few years has led to the develop
ment of form of organization Of this
description in the organizer of agita-
ton and propaganda work" (Agitprop
organizer), aided by small commits
sion. This Agitprop organizer has to
be member of the nucleus bureau,
and is appointed by this bureau for
this work. The commission is formed
Of three to five members OF the nu-
cleus. The Agitprop organizer collab-
crates with the commission in work
ing out their scheme of work, and sub
MUS tnls 10 the nucleus bureau for
confirmation. The commission divides
the various departments OF work
among its members, and meets regu-
larly for the purpose of giving an ac-
count of work done and exchanging
experiences. The Agitprop organizer
must give regular account of his
work to the nucleus bureau, and final
ly to the general meeting of the nu-
clei as well. At the present time it is
still impossible to determine all the
details of this work.
We intend to submit this question to
the whole Of our nuclei for careful
discussion, and expect that the expert
ence gained within the next few
months will enable US to lay down
more definite rules for the best forms
of work and organization.

OF the day maybe made the opportun-
ity for organizing large meetings, and
at these similar reports should be Civ
en-, but in a more popular form, and
approaching nearer to an agitation
speech.
WHAT is known as. individual agi-
W tation, plays an important role
In influencing persons sympathizing
with the party. The organ entrusted
with the Agitprop work must prepare
the necessary material and the nu-
cieus bureau organizes this individual
work. Every Communist is allotted"
one or more of these sympathizers.
and it is his duty to enter into CONVEX
sation as often as possible with these,
to visit them at their houses, and to
discuss questions of interest to them
from the standpoint of the party This
is the best preparation for the ontry
OF such syrnpathizers into the party.
The distribution Of party literature,
including the factory newspaper, is
one of the very most important branch
es OF mass agitation and propaganda.
The propagation of our literature must
be carefully thought out and organ

cedure to simply give workman

or pamphlet; the Impression made by

This is BEST accomplished when the
distribution Of party literature is so
organized that one and the same per-
son invariably undertakes the work in
certain vocational group of fac
Rory or works, or in a certain group OF
workers. Here 1t must not be forgot

Management or the police.
1t is very necessary to keep up
continuous search for fresh fields of
agitation for the party. The attempt
must be made to make use of the bars
and restaurants frequented by the
workers of the works of factory in
question. 1t is possible to use these
places for the distribution of litera-
ture, and for some forms OF mass agi-
tstion.
TMPROMPTU meetings and organ
L lied meetings must also be accorded
thoir place. But not these alone. The
experience won in the mass work of
the Russian revolution has led to the
development of two forms of work
forming the greatest attraction for the
great non-party labor press: the "ver-
bal newspaper" and the agitation
trials"
The nucleus co-operates with the
youth organization to organize small
groups of workers (including non
party groups) in the careful prepare
ton of this form of agitation for with
out this it cannot be successful. A
small group of editors is organized,
and these divide the. roles among
them: leading arctile, current news,
kilograms from the Soviet Union, fac
tory notes, humorous supplement, let
tiers from the country, etc. For each
of these departments five minutes
article in the liveliest possible form is
required and an editors meeting Is ar
ranged, etc.
The agitation trial requires careful
preparation and frequently resembles
theatrical performance. Roles are
divided, masks frequently worn, and
then some person or body is put on
trial: the Russian proletariat, a So
cial democratic minister, the social

BY N. RAEEs.

A T the present time, when many
I \ sections are undergoing extensive
reorganization on the factory nucleus
basis, it is suitable moment to raise
the organizatory questions involved
by the various forms of agitation and
propaganda work in the factory nu-
clci.
The creation Of factory nuclei opens
out fresh opportunities Of mass agita-
ton TO the party. Here we can divide
the totality of the workers in shops
and factories into several categories:
/. Members Of the party and of the
Communist youth organizations; 2. A
considerable number of workers SYM
pathyzing with and supporting the
party, reading our party literature reg
ularly or irregaulrly, but not joining
our organizations; 8. The mass of
neutral workers, influenced but slight
ly either by our propaganda or by the
propaganda Of parties hostile to us; 4.
Those who sympathize with and sup.
port other parties organizing the
working masses, and finally; 5. The
members of these party organizations.
1t is obvious that we must differen-
tiate our work with the utmost. care
in order to adapt it to these various
strata of the working class. The for
nation of the factory nucleus is the
first prerequisite for an organized in
fuence to be exercised upon the whole
Of these strata, enabling their various
trends of thought and feeling to be
recognized, and enabling work to be
properly organized and distributed
among the Communists employed in
any given workshop or factory. Agi-
tation and propaganda work are ex-
ceedingly complicated, and demands
careful calculation of the forces at our

tant worker-and with full week

task that will play such great role,

building the American Communist
movement ito fulfill the requirements
of an American Communist Party"
THIS has been said recently: With
4 out a daily newspaper the Com
munist Party cannot form any ade-
quately important factor in any coun-
try. The Communist International
makes this specific in its decision on
the American question.
The members of the American
Workers (Communist) Party are not
yet fully aware of the role the DAILY.
WORKER plays in our party, they
have not fully appreciated the i'm
portance of the DAILY WORKER
(nor the Workers Monthly and all
Communist Literature) as, not a
minor" activity to be relegated and
restricted to the least capable COM
rades only (and appended to other
activities IF time allows) but as A
MEANS by which all party activity
is conducted.
The role of the DAILY WORKER
40 eAO ANU ivan uONG-
ment must be considered by a greater
section of our membership in the light
of the well known words Of our great
teacher Comrade Lenin:
"rTNHE role of the newspaper is, how
- ever, not confined to the mere pro-
paganda of ideas, to the political
schooling and winning over of polite
al allies. The newspaper is not merely
a collective propaganda and collect
i've agitator, but collective organ
izer."
One thought remains from these
words on the importance of "Our
Daily" to the American Communist
movement. Will you-a Communist
or with the Communists in their strug-
gles-at least during RED WEEK Of
June is to 21-perform a minor"
task for great major accomplishments I?

'Minor" Tasks for
Major Accomplishments
BY WALT cARMoN


THE Communist International has
given to the American Communist
movement, indications Of the road it
must travel if it is to play its histbr-D
completely. Not only with an adjust
ment of major policies but with spe-
cific mention of minor" ones; not
only what we are to do, but also how.
Particularly at this time, it is es-
sential to stress this part of the adj
vice to the American. Communist
movement from the leading world
Communist body in its decision on the
American question:
'As the Workers Party is at pres
ent constituted, it is still altogether
too weak to collaborate with sufficient
effectiveness in the proletarian mass
movement of this great country. This
natural weakness was particularly evil
dent in it's election campaign. AS long
as the Workers Party does not AT
LEAST DOUBLE ITS MEMBERSHIP,
it cannot be said that it fulflls the
requirements Of an American Com
munist Party"
QUITE plainly, it is essential for us
W to grow, to strengthen our ranks
to build. We must set ourselves to the
task. How we are to fulfill the re-
quirements of an American Commun-
list Party" the Communist Interna-
tional specifies. clearly:
Under no circumstances should it
underestimate in any way the import
ance of such minor" tasks as the
circulation of the DAILY WORKER"
This is the first among other
methods it suggests for the building.
With other methods, by "estiblish-
ment of new organs, the development
of the Workers Monthly, the publica-
ton and distribution of good propa-
ganda literature, the organization of
party schools, recruiting weeks, etc."
But FIRST (and we repeat with en-
phasis the very specific reference).
"the circulation of the DAILY WORK
Err"
Decisions of the Communist Inter
national are not accidental-nor are
they voiced Unfortunately. They
are born of the collective experience
of the world Communist movement
and given carefully to its various Sec
tions for guidance. The emphasis on
the circulation Of the DAILY WORK
Err to build the Communist movement
is the emphasis placed on the means
that has served every section OF the
world Communist movements.
TN Russia, "Pravda," with its circu-
L lation of over one half million "a
fact only recently celebrated thruout
the Communist world; in France,
"Humanite," with a circulation Of
over two hundred thousand; in Ger
many "Rohte Fahne," so hated by re-
action-these and other great Com
munist papers have been one OF the
minor" means for the great Com
munist accomplishments.
The executive committee OF the
Communist international in its report
TO the Fifth Congress on the various
sections OF the world Communist
movement Between the Fourth and
the Fifth Congress" lays specific en-
phasis ON the Communist press in the
reports on each country.
THIS emphasis must be made by
L every single member of the Amer
lean Communist movement on the Of
fetal organ OF the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party-the DAILY WORKER.
This emphasis must of necessity be.
to be practical Communist emphasis,
