ton as to when the slogan of the
general strike can be put forward
not only as propaganda and agi-
tation slogan but as slogan of
action.
ID. The task of the Communist
Party is to strive to create united
front from below of all revolution
airy workers in the fight against the
war. The task of the Communist
Party for this purpose and with this
scope is to link up all political and
economic everyday struggles of the
American working class with the
war danger and the necessity to
fight against it. The campaign in
defense of the Gastonia strikers; in
defense of the right of workers to
organize trade unions and to protect
themselves; the campaign for the
building of revolutionary trade
unions; the campaign for the organ
ization of the unorganized; the
everyday struggles of the workers
against wage cuts, against the re-
suits of naturalization; the cam
paign for social insurance these
and all other struggles must be
linked up with the general strug-
gle of the masses against imperialist
war.
Is. Amongst the concrete tasks Of
the Communist Party is to carry
out intensive work to enlarge the
number of shop nuclei. In nuclei
building, the development of shop
papers plays an inestimably i'm
portant role and together with shop
there must be a net
work all over the country of work
ers' correspondents. In this work
special attention must be given to
such branches as mining, munition
works, transportation, dock and ma
rine workers, chemical workers, etc.
The Party should concentrate their
agitational and organizational work
to those branches of the war in
dustry.
In order to create broad united
front against imperialist var and
for the defense of the Soviet Union,
it is necessary to organize Anti War
Committees in all large factories.
These committees, where they are
created for the purpose of Interna-
tional Red Day, should thereafter be
developed into a permanent shape,
for example, by the calling of non
Party delegate conferences of shop
representatives in industrial districts
with the aim of organizing work
ers' conferences on a national scale
against imperialist war. In factories
and trade unions the Communists
should carry on continuous agitation
preparatory to the sabotage of the
production and shipment of war ma
terials. In such agitation, in addi-
ton to the general slogans, our slo-
gan must be: "Not gun, not 8
ship, not dollar, not a single tor
of munitions of war for the armies
destined to fight against the Soviet
Union!"
The Party must carry on unceas-
ing activity in the trade unions fol-
the winning over of the workers for
the struggle against imperialist wal
and for defense of the Soviet Union
In the old trade unions the Party
must expose the bureaucrats of the
American Federation of Labor and
their militaristic policy.
16. Special attention must be
given to the mobilization of the
workers organized in the various
language organizations. The nation
alist and fascist elements are very
active in these organizations. 1t
must be the task of the Communist
Party to combat these elements, ex-
pose them, and win the foreign-borr
workers in this country to the strug-
gle against the imperialist war and
for the defense of the Soviet Union
II. In such organizations as the
Anti-Imperialist League, and the
Friends of Soviet Russia, the task
of the Communists working in these
bodies must be to transform them
in the quickest possible time into
real mass organizations carrying
out continuous propaganda for the
Communist position towards war
combating the petty bourgeois MOOT
fist slogans. The Anti-Imperialist
League must organize in It's ranA4
all revolutionary elements of the
American colonies and of the semi
colonial countries of Latin-America
IS. The working farmers must be
organized as force against imper.
ialist war. The Party must, there.
fore, take special measures really to
begin the work among the agricul-
tural proletariat and the working
farmers. The United Farmers Edu-
cational League must be transformed
into a mass organization. In its
work the Party should take into con.
slderation the permanent crisis Of
American agriculture and also the
anti-war sentiment prevailing among
the farmers in general. Therefore
the Communists should link up this
agitation with the economic de-
mands of the farmers, explain to
them the proletarian attitude to-
ward war, establish a united front
of the working farmers and the in
dustrial proletariat.
