munist influence has been greatly in
creased by the creation of a broad
sympathizing mass of peasantry. The
party has paid great attention to the
organization of the village poor. The
principle is the creation of firm al
lance of the village poor with the
middle peasantfy against the village
usurers, without opposing the inter-
ests of the village poor and the mid
die peasantry. The party must declare
that the question of organizing the
village poor is an urgent one.
The speaker then discussed the de-
velopment of the agricultural cooper
atives. From January 1924 to July
1925 the membership has grown to
five millions, that is to say, it has
trebled. SO per cent of the organized
co-operators are middle peasants and
, the village poor.

ton Of the party and the leadership of

in this connection is the ever greater

apparatus.

tons must take a maximum part in
the work of the Soviet organs and
the work of socialist reconstruction.
The increased influence of the party
in the mass organizations exists and
presupposes decisive struggle
against bureaucracy. The active non
party masses around the party must
become a reservoir for the develop
ment of new batallions thru careful
political and cultural educational
work.
TNHE next question is the party and

by the strengthening Of party infiu

The general number of state en-
ployes increased to 1,850,000. At
the same time we can observe a grow

The working class itself educates
new administrators and economists

ment of the Soviets and the proletar-

MOSCOW. U. S. S. R., -(By MALL
Twenty years ago the workers of
Moscow and other industrial centers
came out into the streets armed at
the best with rotten little revolvers,
but generally simply armed with en-
thusiasm. The inscription Down with
the Autocracy" on the blood red flags
was provoking in the eyes of the
czarist government. 1t is true that
the Russian proletariat met with de-
feat at that time, but this defeat
taught it a great deal. 1t made the
Russian workers unite with the peas
antry and it brought them to the vic
tory of 1917, and a safe existence to
the present day, despite hostile bour
geois enlightenment. Yesterday meet
ing of the factory nucleus of the r

workers, took place in our factory

The hall was filled to overlooking
The presidium elected, was composed
almost exclusively, of participants in

opened. The chairman of the meeting
speaks briefly on the significance OF
the 1905 revolution and ends with the
words:
1--WE will respect the memory OF oul
fallen comrades by standing"
We all stand up, remove our hats
and deep silence reigns. Then the
band (Which is our own, and one OF
the best OF the Moscow workers

al march. The sobbing metallic notes
fill the low hall, and one cannot hell

and see others doing so.

Russian Communist Party Congress Hears
Report by MoIotoy on ORGANIZATION Work

1922 the proletarization of the party
has considerably progressed. The
questions of regulation in the party
growth are: In the acceptance OF non
workers, great attention must be paid
to the quality of the candidate, also
in the acceptance of peasants an in
dividual choice upon the basis Of the
general party directions is necessary.
In relation to the acceptance Of work
ers the directives of the 18th party
congress are still valid, namely that
at least half of the party member
ship must be workers from the bench.
This direction has not yet been full
filed, the 14th party congress must
stress it definitely.
THE speaker then proceeded to =
4 polemic against the opinions OF
the Leningrad comrades upon the in
crease of the proletarian section Of
the party to 80 per cent and proved
their disunity. With regard to the
composition of the leading cadre, one
can observe, that young elements
have been drawn in. Still further,
one can observe strengthened parti-
cipation of the whole membership in
the work of the party. New forms
have developed in the party, such as
the institution of the agitprop organ
izers, the institution of the group or
ganizers in the factories and in the
activization of the work amongst the
women. The proletarization of the
leadership is noteworthy. The central
committee had So per cent workers,
similarly the workers in the central
control committee have increased. A
great forward move has been made in
the education of the party and in the
mass education and in the distribu-
ton of the party press. Noteworthy
in this connection is the development
Of the peasant press and the press
of the national minorities. The speak
err declared that the growing activity
of the party masses made a growing
development of the internal party
democracy necessary.
CUMMING up Molotov formulated
~ the tendencies in the internal
party work as follows: The regula-
ton of the growth of the party is not
yet sufficient. A strengthened con-
sideration of the recruitment of work
ers and an increase of the number of
workers in the party is necessary.
A strengthening of the party cadre
thru tried members in particular thru
the education of workers for the lead
ing work A further development of
the party educational work with in
creased attention to feminist funda.
mentals.
Upon the basis of the growth Of the
party activity, is growing the signifi-
canoe of the collective leadership. It
is the preliminary condition of the
growth of the internal party demo-
cracy. The development Of the latter
is absolutely necessary. The speaker
closed: Despite the difficulties we are
making progress in the building up
of socialism. (Applause).

international Press Correspondence
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Dec. 81. -
AA (By MaiD - Comrade Molotov
made the organizational report in the
name of the central committee of the
Communist Party of Russia.
The speaker divided his remarks
into four parts: 1. The party and the
leadership of the working class. 2.
The party and the leadership Of the
peasantry, 8. The party and the lead
ership Of the state apparatus, 4. The
internal party problems of the lead
ership.
In the first question Molotov point
ed to the following: The growth and
the enlivenment Of the proletarian
mass organizations and the growth OF
the non-party proletarian activity for
the party demand an increased in
iuence of the party on this field.
The growing activity OF the nom
party proletarian expressed itself es-
pecially in the growth of the trade
union organizations to seven million
members. At the same time the per-
centage Of Communists in all trade
union organizations, above all, in the
shop councils, increased.
Apart from the trade unions the &C
tivity of the non-party workers deve-
lops in various forms. OF these, the
so-called productive councils deserve
special attention for they draw the
working masses into the work of so
cialist reconstruction.
Moscow alone has 81 productive
councils with $4,000 participators. The
voluntary mass organizations such as
the organization for the struggle
against illiteracy, the cultural organ
izations in the country and the Red
Aid, experiences a tremendous for
ward move.
The movement of workers and peas
ants correspondents plays particul.
ar role in the building up Of socialism
The chief errors of the leadership OF
the voluntary organizations mention
ed were bureaucracy and protection
ism.
THE speaker then dealt with the
L question of the Young Communist
League. The Young Communist
League is an organization of workers
and peasants, but it's kernel must re
main proIetarian. 1t has at present
1888, 900 members. The chief task
of the party consists in the correct
leadership and education of the Young
Communist League in the spirit o.
Leninism.
| The speaker summed up the tasks
with regard to the party and the lead
: ership of the working class as fol
lows: A further activization of thu
mass organizations in accordance
with their growth. The questions o
the quantitive increase demand great
err consideration to the quality of TIN
work All proletarian mass organiza
