within them. The Convention in
structs the Gee to work out a pro-
gram and policy for the work in
the language organizations and to
work out concrete organizational
proposals to strengthen the direction
of the language fractions by the
Party Committees.
Great care must be taken that the
comrades elected for leading work in
the language bureaus have the cor
rect Party line and are freed from
all remnants of "federationism." The
bureau of the Gee and the Districts
must render regular reports to the
respective Party Committees.
The Gee representative of the
Language Bureaus must also render
regular reports of the condition and
work of the Bureaus among the
masses.
We must fight against the ten
dency of the workers clubs in the
various languages under our leader
ship, for the formation of national
center.
Work in Other Workers Mass Or
CARNATIONS. Party members in the
Various mass organizations, co-opera-
tivec, cultural organizations, sports
organizations, etc., must form frac-
tons and carry out the policies of
the Party in these organizations. The
Party Committees must see to it
that the respective departments that
are responsible for the work in these
organizations, direct and lead the
fractions politically and organiza-
tionally.
The Communist fraction in the
International Labor Defense must
propose the reorganization of the
|. L. D. on a factory basis, and con-
crete plans for making the l. L. D.
a broad mass organization.
Similarly the Party fraction in
the Workers International Relief
(WIR) must propose the broadening
and building up of the WIR as a
permanent relief organization.
6. Party Campaigns and Systematic
Organizational Work.
1t is fact that the organizational
results achieved by the Party in the
mass campaigns are small in COM
parison with the Importance of the
struggles. Aside from the reasons
that arise out of the objective situa-
ton, there are large number of or
ganizational weaknesses that are re-
sponsible for this failure to achieve
the possible results within the limits
of the objective situation; chief
among these are:
Failure to properly prepare in
advance.
Failure to mobilize the entire
Party membership, factory nuclei,
fractions, etc.
3.-Insufficient direction from the
center.
4.-Failure to tie up the immediate
struggles of the workers sufficiently
with the political slogans of the
Party.
5.-Lack of follow up of contacts
made during the campaigns.
6.-Failure to bear in mind the
necessity of Party recruiting in
every struggle Of the masses.
Failure to keep the new men,
bers admitted to the Party.
The Party must consider as a
basic problem, the eradication of the
above shortcomings. In the last
election campaign, great Roadway
was made in this direction. The
orientation of the Party towards the
factory, the building up of factory
nuclei, will be a great step in this
direction. Thorough and early
preparations are necessary and the
political and organizational aims
made known to every Party member.
The Party fractions in the trade
unions and the other mass organiza-
lions must be modified and directed
by the respective departments.
The slogans of the Party must be
concrete so that they can be grasped
by the mass of the workers, and must
be connected up with the struggles
and experiences of the workers in
each instance.
The Party membership and all
Party organizations must become
convinced of the necessity of build
ing the Party as result Of every
campaign conducted by the Party.
In the Passaic strike, failure to bear
this fact in mind is responsible for
the small results achieved. In the
miners struggle, the Pittsburgh dis
trict resisted the views of some of
the leading comrades sent in for
special work there. to the effect that
the left wing had to be built first
and then we will build the Party.
The District was therefore able to
draw many hundreds of miners into
the Party. Likewise, in Ohio, the
Party succeeded in drawing many
miners into the Party. Failure to
pay proper attention to the new
members in the Pittsburgh district,
however resulted in many falling
out. In the New Bedford struggle,
the Party was able to enroll quite a
number of textile workers into the
Party.
In the Election Campaign, INSULT
cient attention was given to the
building of the Party and very good
onnortunit;eS were lost.
