D-Councils for Protection of the
Foreign-Born.

WITH the reconvening of congress, the bills for
" the registration photographing and finger print
ing of the foreign-born workers will again to
the fore. The party must give full support to the
National Council for the Protection of the Foreign
Born in the fight against these laws The campaign
of the party must be directed to draw the native
born workers into this struggle by agitation showing
that the registration law is directed against the
right to organize and the standard of life Of the
whole working class. The fight against the registra-
ton laws must be coupled with the campaign for
the labor party.

CARNATIONS in many places did not prepare early
enough for the election campaign and conse-
quently failed in placing ticket in the field.
This must not happen in the municipal elections.
Steps must be taken Immediately to see that
united labor ticket is placed on the ballot in
every city in which the municipal elections take
place, if this cannot be achieved party

AIN connection with this mobilization of the
party for the election campaigns next year, it is
necessary to carry on an theological campaign in
the party to bring to the party members an UNI
derstanding of the necessity of the party partic-
ipating in the election campaigns to the fullest
possible extent. Our party still responds too
little to the possibilities for development Of a
movement of the workers and extending the
party influence thru election campaigns These
campaigns constitute major opportunity for agi-
tation among the workers and the party must
utilize them to the fullest extent Election cam
pagns as a means of political propaganda and
agitation have especially great significance for our
party. Active participation in election campaigns
will be the means of our first approach to many
American workers.

II. Immediate Program of Work
of the Party.
I. Achievements of the Party.

THE facts rected in the foregoing analysis prove
that the party still stands before the elementary
task of setting the workers into motion against
their class enemy and of developing a class theology
The orientation of the party must founded on
clear comprehension Of these facts.
The great strength and resources of American
Imperialism coupled with the relatively under
developed strength of the workers, the capitalist
offensive and victories over the workers in many
industries in recent times, have produced spirit
Of pessimism in certain sections of the labor move
ment which is also reflected in some sections of the
party. While it is true that the favorable economic
position of American imperialism, which enables
It to provide general employment and to corrupt
certain sections of the working class puts great OBJ
jective difficulties in the path of a revolutionary
workers party, nevertheless a sober estimate of
the situation and the problems presented by it. upon
which a practical program is based will enable the
party to cope with all difficulties and to extend its
influence and increase its strength Pessimism in
The labor and revolutionary movements is effectively
an aid to the bourgeoisie and their agents in the
labor movement The rejection Of all pessmistic
moods is prerequisite 70 the successful accomplish
ment Of the revolutionary tasks.
The class struggle continues even under the most
favorable conditions of capitalist production Such
conditions inevitably produce movements Of the
workers demanding a greater share of the wealth
they produce. With correct tactics the party
stimulate and lead struggles OF the workers against
the capitalists and become a popular party of the
workers in time Of capitalist prosperity and "stab
ization" as well during periods Of hard tines
and crisis. In these struggles the party by the
poyment OF correct tactics hasten the process
Of revoutonizatlon OF the working class.
In the present period, the party must particularly
direct It's attention TO those highly exploited
ganized workers in the great machine industry who
under all conditions are the great reservoir from
which the revolutionary movement draws its
strength. BY initiating movements for the organ,
lzation OF these workers developing programs for
their struggles and giving leadership to their fights
the party can increase its strength and build It's
influence At the same time Il must initiate move
ments among the organized and skilled workers,

E-The Struggle Against American
imperialism.

THE determining factor in the present period is
the dominant and still rising character and in
huence of American Imperialism. This necessitates
that party, in conformity with the emphasis laid
upon this in the decision on the American question
of the last penum of the Comintern, pay the ut
most attention to this important field for Communist
activity. The domination of the two American
continents by U. s. Imperialism, its steady penetra-
ton into European economy and politics, and its
increasing interest in the Far East makes possible
for party, by paying strict attention and devot-
ing the necessary energy to anti-imperaJist work,
to greatly aid the struggles of the colonial and
semi-colonial peoples and assist in the progress Of
the world revolution, more directly perhaps than in
many other fields.

8. Party Education.
i. The Daily Worker.

THE maintaining of The DAILY WORKER, the ex.
tension of its influence by increasing its circua-
ton, is one of the major tasks of the party. The
DAILY WORKER plays great part in the life Of
the party. 1t is centralizing influence which gives
the party membership the line Of the party from
day to day the events of the class struggle. In
special resolution, the Central Committee has
pointed out in detail the importance of The DAILY
WORKER. The party must give special attention to
this resolution and take up in earnest the work
which it sets for the party in relation to The DAILY
WORKER.

w. The Party Reorganization.
I. The Results of the Party
Reorganization.

THE party took up the work Of recognizing the
party on the basis of street and shop nuclei ap-
proximately one year ago. The party now has suf-
fcient experience with the form of organization
to establish the fact that the party policy of CEN
Trailing the party and organizing shop and street
nuclei in place Of the language and territorial
branches correct. The reorganization has
turned the face of the party toward the workers in
the factories. The work of the party in the Pas
sale strike and in other places where similar work
is now under way, the formation of such factory
nuclei as that in the Ford plant issuing factory
paper reaching from ten to fifteen thousand workers
each month, achievement which is duplicated on
lesser scale in two score other great industries,
shows the possibilities of the form of organiza
ton in building the party influence and establishing
contact between the party and the masses of work
ers. The Central Committee repudiates emphaticaly
any suggestion that the reorganization was mistake.
What is needed is not backward step, but more
careful, systematic work to build more functionng
shop nuclei and to teach the street nuclei how to
carry on their work effectively.

there remnants Of the whole condition still exist
In the party and further efforts to Hquidate these
situations must be made. The line Of the Central

standing in the conduct of some of our comrades
leading the strike of the cloakmakers Permeated
by craft union ideology these comrades not only
resisted the party policy amagamation but failed
also to carry out the decisions Of the party that
militant struggle be waged against the Sgman right
wing machine which consciously worked for the de-
feat of the strike in order to use the defeat to
eliminate the left wing from control of the union
The failure to pursue a militant policy in this and
many other matters demanded by the party has
weakened the party influence among the masses in
the cloakmakers strike.
Inc party must therefore resolutey resist all these
manifestations endeavoring to convince the com
rades Of their mistakes and bring them to the party
line If these measures do not result in the correc
ton of these right wing deviations, the party will
be obliged to take stronger measures.
l3 Party Education.
THE New York Workers School represents a big
achievement for the party Hundreds of comrades
are receiving a training in Marxism and Leninsm
thru the classes Of this school Similar schools on a
smaller scale are being developed in other cities
This work is of the utmost Importance to the party
and must be given the fullest support and extended
training in the theoretical basis of Communism
is the best guarantee that party will remain true
to the correct Communist policies and reject all
deviations to the right left. Such training will
also strengthen the party for every phase Of its
work

seizng every opportunity to stimulate the move
ment against the class collaboration policies of the
reactonary bureaucrats and to develop militant
movement Of class struggle. The Passaic strike and
the movement in the miners union typical
examples of the possibilities for great achievement
by the party in applying such policy.
The record of the achievements of our party
during the past year also show that there basis
for this pessmism and that the party has been able
to develop those tactics which have widened its
influence and strengthened its leadership among the
working masses The organization of the 10000
Passaic strikers represents the first broad move
ment among the unorganized workers in the highly
developed, unorganized machine industry for many
years. The organization of these workers, the
leadership of their strike during nine months, the
development of wide support to their struggle in
the relief organization for their support, stands as
major achievement of the party
The part the party has played in the Furriers'
strike the first big strike resulting in a victory
which has developed for many years, increased the
influence and prestige of the party The party lead

bred thousand organized workers Thru throwing out
the slogan of united labor ticket in the election
campaign, the party able to stimulate the move
ment for labor party in number of places and
to actually aid in the organizing of labor parties in
some localities.
All of these gains of the party were made thru
application of the united front tactics thru which
it drew masses Of workers into common struggle
with it.
In spite of the period of capitalist prosperity the
party is breaking its isolation and succeeded in
broadening its influence and increasing its prestige
among the masses of workers It's position today
in the organized labor movement and among the
working masses generally is far in advance of what
it year ago.
The party must mobilize for fuller use of its
strength in applying the policies and tactics thru
which it has made these gains and in taking up of
its immediate program to build tho party and extend
its influence among the Such mobilization
will bring greater gains than to be
recorded for the past year.
The immediate program which the party must
make the centre of it's work is the following:

B-WOrk in the Existing Trade Unions.

DESPITE the emphasis which the party has placed
upon the necessity Of organizing every party mem
Der for work in the existing trade unions, only a
small part of the party strength is brought to bear
in this field. The raising of the number of party
members who belong to the union, the organization
Of the party fractions, the development Of broad
left wing in the trade unions are prerequisites to the
growth of party influence in every field of work.
The conditions for the development of broad left
wing in the trade unions are becoming more favor
able and the party must take the necessary steps,
thru the entry of the members into the unions the
organization of party fractions and systematic work
in the unions to hasten this development and to
create a broad movement of the organized workers
which will challenge the influence of the reaction
ary bureaucrats and win the trade unions for a
policy of militant class struggle against capitalism.
The present struggle in the Miners Union must
have the full support of the party.

things, by their support of the WatsonParker law

There is thus being created an upper stratum Of

the imperialist profits of American capitalism and
has high standard of life itself. Because of the
favorable situation of this section of the workers.
it does not give support to the struggles of highly
exploited unorganized workers in the great machine
industry of this country leaving them to shift for
themselves These highly exploited, unorganized
workers are not sharing in the profits of American
Imperialism, and movements of struggle against the
capitalists are developing among them Our party,
as the only organization which fights for the in
terests Of these workers while at the same time not
negecting the work to stimulate the skilled or
ganzed workers into militant struggle is becoming
the leaders of these struggles This has been shown
in the Passaic strike Despite the wishes of the
reaconary leaders of the aristocracy of labor wide
spread support was given to the Passaic strikers
and these leaders were finally compelled to give
lip service to the struggles Of these workers
The achievements of the party in the Passaic
strike shows the possibilities of the development Of
movement against the reactionary class collabora-
ton policies of the official leaders of the labor
ment and represent victory for the left wing.
/ The militant class struggle in the workers in
terests by the Furriers' Union under leadership of
the left wing, resulting in victory for the workers
against the right wing supported by President Green,
also represents new achievement for the left wing.
The fight of the New York Joint Board of the In
ternational Garment workers Union is a movement
| in the direction. The development of a broad
progressive bloc with the slogan Save the Miners
Union against the reactionary leadership of John
L. Lewis in the United Mine Workers is an especial
ly important indication of the growth of the senti-
ment to make the union organs of militant class
struggle, especially since the mining industry is
one Of the basic industries, toward which the party
must direct it's attention.
