more decisively the pacifist illusions.
| might mention to the comrades in
the Minnesota (huge applause by
Tallentire, DO. 81 district that they
have done very well in not failing
to organize anti-war movements. 1t
is my contention and Think it is the
opinion of the central committee, that
the comrades in the Minnesota dis
trict must fight more energetically
certain pacifist illusions which have
crept in. We must take more effect
i've steps to organize the masses.
II think we have fallen down in
one phase of activity here. We must
popularize much more extensively
against pacifism the peace program
given by Comrade Litvinoff for the
Soviet Union at the last Geneva con-
ference. We must also, learn that
we must propaganda those masses
that are against war to become real
opponents Of war by propagandizing
them for interference with war prep
arations and raising such slogans not
as against war; but as against i'm
perialist war, and raising the slogan

not man, not a dollar for imper-
ialist war in China etc.
Fifth: The road to the develop
ment of mass Communist party lies
in the development of correct tactics,
in the united front efforts of the
Party. Our basic policy here is good.
'We maintain that there is increas-
ing opportunity for the Party as a
party to appear before the workers
as party in the present struggles.
The Party should show it's face much
more to the masses as Party and
more frequently and openly. Our
basic line here remains: First of ALL:
the greatest possible mobilization of
masses for struggle with view of
developing left movements amongst
the nom Communist workers. Sec
ondly, the bringing closer to the
Party and under it's influence nom
Party masses, and thus to build and
strengthen our Party organization.
Because of the conditions of the
class struggle today, the center of
gravity of the united front campaigns

Worker for this effective campaign.
Third: The crisis in the trade
unions: Let me say that the critical
condition in which the trade unions
find themselves set before us trem-
endous tasks. The masses are awake
ming to the danger and the slogan,
Save the Unions is living slogan.
We must raise this slogan and mobil-
lie increasing masses. The organi-
cation of the unorganized, the defense
of the standard of living of the work
ing class. the question of amalgama-
tion-these are vital questions today
in facing the crisis of the trade
unions. We do not utilize this slogan
Of the crisis in the trade unions in a
manner to promote panic. We utilize
the slogan of the crisis in the trade
unions In order to point out to the
workers that they must fight.
"Tn general we reaffirm the resolu-
ton as adopted by the Hexutive
Committee of the Central Committee
last May. But il view of the sharp
ening situation-in view of the new
economic conditions, we declare that
we must not allow ourselves to make
fetish of opposition to dual union
ism as such in our campaigns to or
ganize the unorganized. We must
organize the unorganized and take
the leadership in it at all costs. As
long as there be opposition against
the organization of the unorganized
in the labor movement. Here the
mining campaign is of basic import
ance. We ask the comrades in the
districts who have not mcbilized vel
enough to the demand of the Central
Committee to come into this cam
paign without the slightest fear Of
splitting the miners union. The
miners union is split to smithereens
row and we are the only ones who
can save it. Our general slogan:
here are clear as above Indicated

stopped, if we are to do all we car
to meet the crisis in the trade unions
Fourth: the war danger: this fight
is now assuming a much more thar
abstract character. It is our opinion
that the secretariat should be en-
powered, under the direction Of the
political committee, to work out GER
tains basic tasks. We must fight

ties, the American militarist and pa
triotic societies, are preparing for
them.
Every cent forwarded for the de-
tense of The DAILY WORKER and

blow struck to defeat such enemies of

have not pushed this vital step to-
wards the building of a labor party
movement.
This plenum should make note of
such inactivity.
insufficient participation Of GER
tain language fractions in party
campaigns and life. l speak OF the
mining campaign. With very few
exceptions the language fractions
participated vigorously in the mining
campaign.
Another error, very costly one,
was the insufficient and not quick
enough orientation towards the shar-
pening developments in the mining
campaign. Not only the districts, but
the party as whole, the party CEN
ter must share in this blame. 1t is
true we are now making big head
way. / say we could have made much
greater Roadway and been in a much
safer position if we had not made
this mistake.
Briefly, what are the shortcom-
ings of our Party? Our Party APP
paratus is still weak. 1t is our
opinion that our Party apparatus to-
day is still too weak to withstand
well a severe offensive against our
organization. The organization con-
ference of the central committee
must take positive steps to remedy
this situation.
eve also have the weakness of
Party auxiliaries. The Party auxi-
iaries, almost without exception, do
not serve sufficiently as reservoirs
for Party membership and following.
1--WE still have some lingering fac
tionalism and remnants of old group
ings. Here we must avoid particul-
arly any attempt as some comrades
of the Polburo tend to do, at gener-
alizing into a characteristic Of policy,
into wrong estimate of basic policy,
when mistake may be made here
and there.
insufficient basis in the trade
unions, insufficient proportion of
native born workers, weakness in
election campaigns, weakness of the
Women's Department and the Negro
work, insufficient development of
our theoretical level, insufficient ca
pacity to attract working class forces
in the campaign against the imperi-
alist war danger, insufficient initi-
alive of comrades in voluntary rou-
tine work are among our worst short
comings. We have in our Party an
insufficient response to any call for
such basic, yes, so-called Jimmy Hig-
gins work. We must have much more
Of that throughout the Party.
FINALLY, the lack of workers cor
respondents is serious shortcoming
Of the Party.

Tasks Of Weke,s Communist Party Anayze BY Jay Lovestone IN

tasks, the outstanding problems end
tasks of the Party divide themselves
largely in the following six main
lines:
"First of all: the problem of an
adequate program for the depression
period. This is the key to our Party
activities. The energetic execution of
our unemployment program, demands
on the government, the organization
of the unemployment councils, the
intensification of the labor party
campaign, the intensification of the
fight against wage cuts, against
lengthen hours with concrete activi-
ties and slogans must be pushed to
the fore. For instance, the 40 hour
week slogan. For instance, the pop
ularization in an agitational sense,
of the fact that in the Soviet Union
we have seven-hour day. This must
be pointed out by the Party in its
agitational field much more than it
has been today. The question of So
Wet Russian recognition, the fight
against new forms of class collabor-
alton must be emphasized. In the
general propaganda and activities
against capitalism as such, | think
our Party has been particularly weak
in this respect. Here we must work
much harder.
1--WE attack the government very
well. We expose capitalist democracy
effectively but we have not centered
our blows sufficiently against cap
italism as an economic system. We
have not pointed out sufficiently the
costly losses suffered by the workers
thru the capt alist system. Finally
great weight must be lent to aggres-
sive fight for a genuine social insur-
ance program.
Second: The Labor Party. We
have reaffirmed the unanimously
adopted labor party policy as here
with given. We recognize that the
sentiment for labor party is today
much bigger than it's organizational
strength.

100000 PROFIT
after WAGE-CUTS
IN MASS. MILLS
Five Textile Firms In
crease Profits

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 15.-Just as
the outstanding news from the New
England industrial centers has been
marked for the past few weeks by
almost daily announcements Of new
wage cuts in the textile mills, so
have the dispatches of recent days
been full of stock dividend declara-
tions by these same mill owners.
Others Follow Suit.
In addition to the statements issued
by some of the mills in New Bedford,
which showed profits of over 100000
for 5 mills, further number of cor
porations followed suit yesterday. The
Blumenthal Company's balance sheets
declare profits of $1,056,104. This
firm owns and operates the Shelton
Looms. Belding, Hemingway Com
pany announces dividends amounting
to $521,952. The profits of the Pill
grim Mills of Fall River were $780,
900. The Butler Mills of New Bed
ford declare earnings of 11,008, and
the Boot Mills of Lowell had $,77,-
654.
Proves Statements False.
Along with the posting of every
wage slash notice in the plants came
an explanation that this step was I'M
willingly taken by the employer. The
bosses said that they were compelled
to take reduced wages in order not to
run their factories at deficit.
While it is true that the manu-
facturers succeeded in putting over
average wage cut of 10 per cent on
such a great mass of workers, with
very little organized resistance from
the operatives, the smoldering re-
sentiment evident may easily be
famed into flame by just such an
nouncements as these, in spite of the
fact that the mill owners had the
active cooperation of the textile union
officialdom in preventing strike dew
elopments.
Workers Act.
Word has not reached here yet as
to the action of the membership of
the Fall River Textile Council which
was to meet last night to decide upon
a course of action in view of the re-
cent refusal of the employers assoc
citation to eliminate the wage cut.
A stormy meeting is expected because
the Textile Council leadership is
known to be opposed to active re-
sistance.

them softer targets for national

The Lewis machine in Ohio APP
parently has broken down completely.
It is making no attempt to give a
lead to the strike. The initiative is
now being taken by the rank and

the union. In the growth. Of this
