There are also marked tendencies not to put

the rehabilitation of the workers was en-
pressed by the leadership of the needle work
ers of Chicago. The theory that men,

lutionary auto workers union> exceedingly diff
fcult, if not impossible. is definite under
estimation of the role of the Red unions in the
economic crisis. The Party must liquidate
the various manifestations of the right danger
in the trade union work.
Effective struggle against the right danger
requires simultaneous battle aaginst the
ultra-left sectarian tendencies which attempt
to cover this opportunst unwillingness to set
the masses into motion and to lead them into
battles with left phrases. These tendencies
are a drawback to the activities OF the Part,

out of the stream of rehabilitation Of the
working class. But the young workers fee!
with special sharpness the Increased burdens

workers in the shops is an Indispensable pa,:
of the Party's activities to win the MIA iority
of the working class. Ant-militar;st work, Il
step-child in the past, must be organized amI
carried on methodically. Neglect Of this work
by the districts must be considered a reformis,
avoidance of anti-war work.
The leading committees OF the Party mus,
help the Young Communist League in the con-

must take the form OF political guidance as

To the Masses,
80. The economic crisis in the United States
has created tremendous problem for our Par
ty. The capacity of the working masses for
mobilization, for organization and for struggle
present the Party with the problem of extend
and developing its its own capacity accordingly
This requires, first of ALL an activization of
every single member of the Party. 1t requires
a rapid bolshevization through continuous and
constructive self-criticism and sef-corrcction;
it necessitates systematic organization work to
build the Party and to drive its roots into the
basic industries. 1t demands the broadcast ap-
plicatlon of the united front tactic based upon
the workers in the shops and formed for def
mite mass struggle aims; it requires rapid
building up of revolutionary mass unions and
activization of these unions as fighters for the
daily interests of the workers. 1t demands
closest attention to concrete detail work which
must turn our revolutionary theory and aim
into revolutionary force against capitalism.
Build the Party! Build the revolutionary
unions! Mobilize the working class against
naturalization, against imperialist war, against
imperialism!
