Central Committee and Comrade
CARLOS for the District, showed that
not only had the Party and Com
munist International line been &C
copied, but that it is being energet-
ically applied, with deep-going re-
suits. The Party, after several
years of apathy, is being trans
formed into Party of active class
struggle, in the course of which the
inevitable throwing off of oppor-
tunist elements and those incapable
of struggle, is refreshing the ranks
with an influx of young, fighting
workers, including a large number
of native-born miners.
