ershlp here and the Party give the
necessary assistance to the local or
CARNATIONS so that they can be en-
abled to become the leaders of the
workers in their locality. Elements
that have exposed themselves as I'M
worthy Of being members in the
Communist Party by their passivity
and cowardice must be rooted out
CT the Party.
8. In spite Of its weaknesses the
results of International Red Day
show that the Communist Party is
already a powerful force exercizing
q powerful influence among a large
section of the American workers.
Where the Party has been organized
ON a factory nucleus basis and has
carried on work it has gained the
political influence over the workers.
Where the Party has participated in
the struggles of the workers it has
gained their confidence. The results
revealed the fact that the political
influence of the Party is much great
er than we would expect if judged
by its organizational strength. In
many important center with prac-
tically no party organization the
Party was able to rally hundreds
and thousands of workers to the In
ternational Red Day demonstrations.
International Red Day proved that
the prestige of the Communist Inter
national and of its United States
section grew with the correction of
the wrong line of the Party. While
Lovestone & Co. speak about the de-
generation of the Communist Inter
national and the Communist Party
of the U. S., the Party Influence
among the masses is today greater
than ever before. Our Party must
take serious steps to consolidate or
ganizationally its growing influence,
and to perfect the Party organiza-
ton so that the Party will be better
able to initiate and leading the COM
ing mass struggle.
In addition to the shortcomings
already cited - underestimation of
the readiness of the masses for
struggle, capitulation before legality,
the failure to issue the Down Tool
slogans, etc. the following defects in
the preparations for August / must
be noted as serious shortcomings
that must be overcome in future ac-
tivities Of the party.
1. Preparations being too late.
Therefore not thorough enough prep
aration.
2. insufficient theological prep
aration in the Factory and Street
Nuclei. The outlines, bulletins, etc.
sent out by the center to the Dis
tricts did not find their way to the
units. This was due partly to the
lateness of the beginnings of the
preparations.
3. The Party press while re-
spending fairly we'll failed to act
as an organizing force. This was
particularly necessary to give lead
ership to the small Party units in
the industrial and company towns,
and to the cities where there are no
Party organizations.
a. While some real beginnings
were made to concentrate our work
in the large plants the work here
was entirely inadequate and in some
districts almost. entirely neglected.
5. Failure to connect sufficiently
in number of districts, the Red Day
preparations with the important
struggles Of the workers, as for ex-
ample the failure to realize the i'm
portant connections of the events in
Gastonia with the war preparations,
the failure to connect up ratiQnaIiza.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-12

ton with the war preparations, and
wherever this was done the agita-
ton was too abstract.
This is very serious shortcoming
and is organically connected with the
wrong theory held by the Party prior
to the Comintern address the
theory of the primacy of the ex-
ternal contradictions which is d.
rect expression of the underestima-
ton of the radicalizing process
among the workers of this country.
This is the theory Of the Interna-
tional Right represented by Love-
stone & Co. in the United States.
6. No real special efforts to carry
on the preparatory work to mobilize
negro workers, women workers, work
among the Latin Americans in the
U. S., and among the agrarian popu-
iation.
7. Practically no work among the
soldiers, sailors, marines and other
armed forces. Where the Young
Communist League did attempt some
activity it failed to receive the sup
port of the Party.
8. Too few anti-war committees
organized in the factories. Only in
New York and Pittsburgh were there
serious attempts made to organize
anti-war committees and the fac
tories.
9. Failure to develop united front.
Only in New York City was there
called a conference for Red Day con-
sisting of unions, shop committees
and workers fraternal organiza-
tons.
10. Failure to carry on sufficient
work in the trade unions affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor thereby abandoning the work
ers to the Imperialist policy of the
Green, the Wolls, etc.
II. Lack of sufficient concrete
ness of the agitation, against the
A. F. Of L. leadership and the Social
list Party.
IL. insufficient technical prepar-
atoms to defeat the attempts of the
police to break up the demonstra-
tons.
10. No pamphlet published thru
cut the campaign. No posters And
in general lack of sufficient direc-
ton from the center Of the agita-
tional work in preparation for Red
Day.
International Red Day was only
a point in the development of the
struggle against imperialist war
and for the Defense Of the Soviet
Union. The work must now be in
tensified manifold. The recent dis
closures of the Stimson negotiations
with the European powers and ia
pan, on the direction of the enter
naturalization" of the Chinese
Eastern Railway clearly exposes the
role Of U. S. Imperialism in the
provocation of war against the So
Wet Union. 1t shows to the masses
that in spite Of the antagonisms be-
tween the capitalist powers, the
danger of joint attack Of the So
Wet Union by the imperialists Of
the world with the U. S. at the
head, is imminent.
International Red Day was a good
beginning. Now we must overcome
the mistakes and shortcomings from
which the Party suffers, and organ
ize the struggle against imperialist
war and for the Defense of the So
Wet Union on the broadcast possible
basis.
The thesis Of the Central Com
mittee on the War Danger and the
tasks Of the Party provide the line

FRENCH DEED PLOT
FOR YANK'S GRAVE
Village Where Hero Died
Ends Controversy.

Washington.--Thro the gift of
the French village of Moyenmoutier
of the ground occupied by the grave
of Lieut.. Thomas r. Plummer Of New
Bedford, Mass, controversy of ten
years comes to an end
Unlike most American families
whose sons fell in France. the Plum
mers strongly desired that Lieutenant
Plummer's body be left in the little
French cemetery where it was buried
two days before the armistice was
signed and few days before the
Croix de Guerre awarded him by the
French government was received.
This caused the unwinding of much
red tape Lieutenant Plummer, al
though fifty years of age when the
war broke out, enlisted in the Amer
lean Red Cross and was assigned to
the French village Of Moyenmoutier,
Just behind the French lines. There
he did such valiant work that he was
beloved by the entire population of the
village. They buried him with highest
honors in their own village cemetery.
