and Kuusinen and emphasize the ne
cessity of the application of the united
front tactic also amongst the broad
masses of the proletarian women and
the necessity of organizing and mo-
bilizing the working women also by
means of non-party womens organiza-

Stresses Work Among Youth.
| THESE women's organizations must
L be bound to the party thru Com
munist fractions and they must be
connected up with the women's dele
gate meetings. The work amongst
the youth must also be strongly sup
ported by the Young Communist In
lternational and the Young Communist
Leagues. 3D.
We observe theGdangers which the
formation of womens organizations
can cause, but where such organiza-
tions exist the sections must take up
an attitude towards them and in many
sections the latter must take the mi
tiative in forming them. (Applause.)
Reorganization Of the &. C. C. 1.
THEREUPON Comrade Kuehne
L Germany read the draft Of the
resolution of the commission for con-
trolling the realization of the decisions
of the previous congresses, upon the
question of the reorganization of the
work of the 2. 20. l. and upon the
uyovIr fo,. +bo nranara ff0v, ~ tha oivth
world congress. The resolution was
unanimously adopted.
Afterwards the discussion upon the
report of Kuusinen was continued
The next speaker in the discussion,
Comrade Klara Zetkin, said: The
draft resolution which is before us
does not sufficiently stress the fact
that in all work for the mobilization
of the masses the greatest possible
attention must be paid to the drawing
in of the broad masses of the working
women. The draft of the resolution
of the commission for the work
amongst the masses correctly points
out the importance of far greater
utilization of the system of women's
delegates, naturally not by mechani-
cally transferring the Soviet Russian
forms, but by applying them to con-
crete circumstances. The efforts
which had begun in Germany in this
connection did not collapse alone thru
the conservatismbof the women COM
rades, but also o4hecause the Ruth
Fischer-Maslov central committee neg
lected the work amongst the masses
of the women very much. The system
of womenA delegates is probably the
most important form for the organiza-
ton of the women, but we must not
neglect the possibility of utilizing the
non-party sympathfzing organizations
which exist in ,eAmerica, Canada,
France, Norway, Germany, Italy, etc.
Despite the factlqhat we must hold
firmly. to our pHfnciple that in the
party and in the trade unions men and
women meet each other as equals,
comrades and fighters, we must never
ltheless take the fact into considera-
ton that an increasing need exists in
the masses of the women for organiza-
ton, but a certain, shyness against the
party and a great desire for exclu-
sively womens Organizations. We
must approach the millions of women
in the organizations which are under
bourgeois influence thru the formation
of fractions within them. l consider
that the system OF women's delegates
is an excellent means of organizing
not only the women workers, but also
the housewives and the peasant
women and girls. The activity of the
women's delegates can best of all be
supported by the development of wom-
ems organizations. The members of
the Red Womens and Girls League
in Germany would be insulted by the
suggestion that these organizations
were a recrudescence of the old social
democratic idea. 1t is not the organi-
cation form alone which is of impor
lance, but also the nature of the work
which the organizations performs.
The women's organizations do not
merely represent millions of women,
but they form social sea which when
it comes into movement will exercise
an influence upon the world revolu-
ton.
German Delegate Speaks.
| NOMRADE KASPAROV (Soviet I'm
~ ion) emphasized the necessity for
the organization of the masses Of the
women. The most important means
to this end is the system of womens
delegate meetings. which have proved
their tenacity In the introduction Of
this organizational form we met with
the opposition of many west European
comrades who considered it to be I'M
desirable. Experience, however,
showed that the women's delegate
meetings met with great success wher-
ever they were introduced. The
speaker did not consider that special
women's organizations were neces-
sary. The women can be organized
in the general organizations like the
Red Aid. We should not return to
organizational forms which have been
