of fhe Leading PARTY Organs.


the lower units factory and street
nuclei) are not working properly; in
many cases merely performing the
technical functions and not the lead.
ing and controlling functions. Seri-
Gus attention must be devoted to the
selections of the leading organs of
the Party. The social composition
must be radically improved by draw
ing in more proletarian elements
from top to bottom in all leading
committees. Negro proletarians and
working women must also be drawn
in to much larger extent. The
Central Executive Committee and the
DEC's must help to create better
leading committees capable of full
filling the Party tasks in the present
period.
Leading Committees must be es-
tablished in all the Factory and
Street nuclei (nuclei bureaus). The
nucleus bureau is to be elected at
the membership meeting of the nue.
leus and is to consist of to mem
bers depending upon the size of the
nucleus. AS rule, the nucleus bur-
eau should be elected for a period Of
months and during this period is
to make a complete report to the
full meeting of the nucleus at least
twice, giving the results of its &C.
tivity.
The convention establishes that the
next body following the nucleus
shall be the Section and that the sub
district and city and subsection shall
be abolished. Under this system, g
Section will be either the division
of larger city, single city or g
number of cities with the larger city
as the center of the Section. This
new division of the Districts into
Sections makes it necessary that
after DEC shall divide it's territory
in accordance with this convention
decision and submit its proposals fol
approval to the Gee. Exception tc
this structure may be made only
with the permission of the Geo.
The leading organ of the Section
is the Section Executive Committee
which is to be elected either at a
SETON conference consisting of rep
resentatives of the nuclei, or at sec.
ton conference consisting of repre-
sentatives of the nuclei, or at the
general membership meeting of the
section. The committee should con-
sist of 5 to members and 2 to 8
candidates. The Plenum (full Sec
ton Executive) elects a bureau of 8
to 5 members. No other organs (such
as secretariat) should exist in the
Section Executive. The bureau Of
Section must be approved by the
District Executive Committee. The
Section Executive is to be elected for
one year. The Section conference
shall be called by the Section Execu-
tive with the approval of the DEC.
In accordance with the statutes Of
the Party constitution, the Section
Committees shall have all rights as
leading bodies in their territory. II
is the political leader of the given
territory, working under the leader
ship of the District Executive Com
mittee.
The leading organs of the District
shall be the following:
1.-DEC (Plenum).
2.-District Bureau.
3.-Secretariat.
Names "Polbureau," "Polcom
shall not be used by any of the Dis
tricts. There is only one Polbureau
the Polbureau of the Gee.
The District Executive Committee
Is elected at the District Convention
and should consist of to Is mem
bers and 8 to s candidates. Excep-
lions in some cases, can be made
with the approval of the Geo. The
frequency of the meeting of the
Plenum will, of course, depend large
ly on the local conditions, but the
full DEC must meet no less than 8
times during the year.
The DEC Plenum is to elect Dis
trict Bureau of 5 to 7 members which
must be approved by the Gee. The
District Bureau must meet at least
once a month.
The Secretariat of the District
should be composed of the chief func-
tionaries of the District: Organizer
head Of Trade Union Department
head of the Organization Depart
ment. In some districts, as for ex-
ample, the agricultural district, other
arrangements may be made. This
Secretariat should be called together
as often as necessary, but at least
once a week.
The Convention instructs the Gee
to work out detailed instructions fol-
the above mentioned questions. The
Convention emphasizes again the alb.
solute necessity of proletarianizine
all the leading committees, to draw
in the best workers from the basic
industries, among them Negro pro.
letarians and working women. The
decision of the Comintern to give
an impetus to the promotion of work
ers to the leading positions of the
Party must be realized with the
greatest rapidity.
Every effort must be made to de-
velop the initiative on the part Of
the lower organizations in the pres
ent period of the war danger, so thai
in case Of difficulties, they will b.
able to carry on the Party work.
