The Workers (Communist) Party
celebrated its first Lenin memorial
meeting here on Jan p. Over 100
persons attended, and a great deal of
pep was shown by all present.

problems without fear or favor and
made an unbreakable connection of
Lenin's leadership to world working
class problems. She finished with a
strong appeal to organize the unor-
gained.

To the Editor of The DAILY WORK
FIR: Greetings;
We, the workers of "The Govern
ment River Transportation" have or
eanized a special evening school, in
order to read. write and express our
thoughts in the English tongue. At
he present time, we can read, write
and speak, and therefore the interest
Of knowing the latest news and events
in America is growing daily.
Among the students Of our class
is also one of the exiles who was
deported to Russia in 1921 on the
second "Soviet Ark" He tells us
very interesting stories about thu
workers movement in America, but
this is not enough, we want to reaC
the newspaper.
We beg you to send us copy of
your paper, The DAILY WORKER,
regularly, free Of charge.
From our part, we can promise to
send some correspondence for The
DAILY WORKER, informing your
readers the latest news Of the U. of
s. S. r.
Fraternally yours.

THERE were those who believed
l. that the reorganization OF the
party on the basis of shop nuclei and
international branches would put ar
END to all work among the foreign
born. In fact, many OF those VINO
were opposed to the reorganization
of the party we're opposed on this
ground.
Vain Years.
Now when the party is fairly well
reorganized, that IS, now that the ole
language branches are abolished anc
the skeleton organization Of nucle
and international branches has beer
formed and begins to function, we
can see that all those fears were not
founded on facts. On the contrary

again 1t is very important that the
Communists be able to speak to the
masses iii their own language.
Press Is Strategic Pond.

shat due to the restriction of immi-
grafton, many workers can read and
wr,te English, the field of work in
the foreign language is still very
great and will remain so for a long
tlBle 10 come.
We must, therefore, have our fac
lions in alt the language organiza-
tions of the workers, maintain our
press, so that we can carry on our
work among the foreign-born masses
and counterfeit the propaganda OF
the nationalists, the church, the
bosses and the bureaucrats. Our
fractions in the different organiza-
tons must build around themselves
all the sympathetic elements, and
they must see to it that the fraternal
organization becomes the source OF
support for the Communist language
press.

Of course this does not mean that
al Of these workers must be reached
in the foreign language. 1t is true
that many OF them speak English and
are fairly well "Americanized." But
the great bulk of them must still be
reached thru the propaganda in their
own language, and since there is
lacking trade union organization in
most Of these industries they are to
be found in the different fraternal
organizations.
These fraternal bodies are organ
lied locally and nationally and in
clude millions of workers. Most of
these national organizations consist
Of every wing of the population from
the nationalists down to the Com
munists, and it is very important for
the Communists to carry on work in
them, and to be able to reach the
