For P0etaiamization and for Boek Party Organization

a rule are not carrying on the Party
work in the neighborhood in a sys-
tematic manner. The street nuclei
must assist the factory nuclei in
their territory and generally carry
on factory activity with the aim of
establishing factory nuclei where
none exist.
7. Building the press and the dis
tribution of Party literature.
Daily Worker. The Daily Work
err, the central organ of the Party
must be strengthened ideologically.
The paper while it has greatly i'm
proved in this respect and this was
recognized in unanimous motion
passed by the Polcom is still far
from satisfactory. Too often errors
of non-Communist character creep
in to the paper. To overcome this
great danger, the Party must allo-
cate additional forces to the Daily
that will make it possible for the
Editor to carry out more effectively
the line of the Party. The strength
ening of the Daily Worker is an i'm
mediate problem that the Central
Executive Committee must solve.
The Daily Worker must fight
against the tendency that prevails
among some comrades that the CEN
trail organ of the Party cannot be a
mass paper and maintain it's Com
munist character. Just the opposite
is the fact. To the extent that the
Daily will follow a feminist policy
and reflect the struggle of the work
ers, will it become mass paper.
The Daily must establish network
of Party correspondents, who will
report regularly on the life and &C
tivity of the Party.
In order that the Daily reflects
the struggles of the masses, it is
necessary to broaden the workers
correspondents manifold. This work
must be followed up systematically
and be organically connected up
with the basic struggles of the
Party.
The Party must pay much greater
attention to the circulation of the
Daily Worker. Every Party mem
Der must be a reader of the Daily.
Every Party member must consider
it primary task to secure readers.
Every Party fraction in the trade
unions and other mass organiza-
tions, must secure readers for the
Party central organ. The comrades
who read the foreign language press
must bear in mind that the Daily
Worker is the organ Of the entire
Party.
The Daily Worker must be
brought into every struggle and its
circulation built in that manner.
The Daily Worker Sustaining Fund
must be built up and the paper in
general must receive full financial
support of all Party organizations.
Special attention must be paid to
the building up of the machinery for
the distribution of the Daily Worker
so that in the event of the govern
ment making attacks on the paper,
we will be in a position to distribute
our paper among the mass of the
workers.
Party Literature. The Party must
increase the publication and sale of
literature. In this respect great head
way was made in the last year
through the publication of a large
number of pamphlets, dealing with
the campaigns of the Party-War,
Elections, Mining, Textile, Soviet
Union, Negro work, Party organiza-
ton, etc. The literature published
must however, be more organically
tied up with the campaigns of the
Party and must be published earlier
than heretofore. Every Party mem
Der must consider the distribution of
literature a daily task.
At the same time, much more eff
fort must be directed toward the dis
tribution of the theoretical literature
of our movement, and the Party
membership stimulated to study the
works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and
the other founders and leaders of
our movement.
In order that we may develop our
literature publication, it is necessary
that greater responsibility be devel-
oped in the payment for literature
by the Party organizations. The lit
erature must be published at a price
available to every worker.
s. Work Among Negroes.
Since the last Party convention,
and particularly since the 9Th World
Congress of the Comintern, much
progress has been made in work
