PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION
The Language Fractions in the Light
of the Party Tasks

ers in these mass organizations but through
militant action and diligency in carrying out
the Party policy to the letter.
Growing Fascism in the Language Mass
Organizations.
With the increasing crisis of capitalism all
over the world, the bourgeoisie in order to
entrench itself, grabs every opportunity not
only to divide the workers but to organize a
force which will counterfeit the rehabilitation
and militancy now developing under the lead
ership of the Communist Party at fast rate.
And we must not forget the experiences of
our Italian comrades in combating this fas-
cist policy introduced in this country by Mus
solini several years ago. This same policy is
now being followed by other countries such
as Poland, Jugoslavia, Mexico, etc. If our Ian.
guage fractions carried out the Party policy
it in itself would be a sure guarantee against
fascism in the language mass organizations.
The role of fascsm is all the more important
when we analyze the situation in which the
various countries such as Jugosavia find them
selves in, at the present time.
The crisis of the present regime and the ap
preaching revolutionary upheaval is followed
by an intensive drive upon the workers both
within these countries and without them in
order to maintain itself and prolong its life.
The line of the language fractions to be fol-
lowed in this period is therefore of great sig
nificance and Importance ito the whole move
ment and by combating the fascism and vari-
Gus forms of social chauvinism they must bring
before these organizations and masses of work
ers directly the policy of the Communist Party
and the Communist international. By doing
so they will not only defeat fascism but thereby
bring these workers closer to the Communist
movement. The setting up of anti-imperialist
Balkan Federated Committees by all Jugoslav
Fractions in various cities and mass organza-
lions is of utmost Importance with the present
white terror in Balkan, particularly Jugosavia
and Bulgaria to defeat the attempts of the
Jugoslav councils and agents to organize fas-
cist groups in the workers mass organizations
in this country.
Coordination of Fraction Work With Party
Tasks.
While there is a marked improvement in al
lignment of the language fractions with the
general Party work there is still considerable
amount of both passivity and misunderstanding
as to the best possible ways of coordinating
these activities and bringing them into unified
action on the entire sphere of the Party ac-
ITCHY We still find that many of the lam
guage fraction meetings, affairs and activities
conflict with the Party schedules and thereby
far as the results are concerned. In addition
to that we find numerous discrepancies be-
tween the Party and fraction functionaries.
One fact will bear this out. Namely, kind of
functions and wages.
We find that some of the language func-
tionaries are slow to orientate themselves to
the line of the Party work, and fraction work
together some will do more of one than the
other and vice versa, thereby weakening the
chain of activities on both sides. Especially is
this the case in the Jugoslav Fraction where
we have several comrades who are carrying on
numerous Party functions at the expense of
their fraction work. then in other language
fractions we find just the opposite case, neither
of which is proper division of labor.
That every language functionary must carry
one Party function besides that in the fraction
should hold good for more than one reason,
unless there are special cases. We must post
our decisions upon the fact that in order that
the language fraction functionaries be able to
understand and carry out the policy in aux
iliary organizations, must be fully acquainted
with and part of the Party "active" otherwise
their work among the mass organizations in
the fractions will not represent the fullest
knowledge and experience of the party as a
whole 1t is only to the extent that we arc
in touch with and acquainted with the various
Party organs that we will be able to effectively
carry out the tasks of the Party in the frac-
tions and mass organizations.
