OUR LANGUAGE WORK

and that would spoil the future business OF
film showings.
The Russian Fraction.
Because of the insufficient theological and
organization struggle against Lovestonsm in
the Russian fraction, we find that concealed
oppositionists worked up to recently in the
fraction and gave support to expelled renegades
from our Party. Instead of exposing these
enemies of the working class and carrying on
discussions in the Russian organzations-the
policy OF silence was followed-and the rene
gades hold important posts in the language or
CARNATIONS.
The Hungarian Fraction.
As is general with the Hungarians thru
out the country, here too the energy of our
comrades and sympathetic workers is being
put into "Home" where the activity will be
centered in raising funds to cover the mort
cages end there will be but little possibility
to reach these workers with the general cam
paigns of the Party and the Trade Union Unity
League. Altho at a Karoly meeting several
hundred workers were present who expressed
their solidarity with the anti-fascist movement,
there has been no effort to crystalline this
sentiment into definite organZatcnal results.
The Jewish Fraction
In the Jewish field insufficient effort is made
to spread out the activity of the fraction to
HSNi4 N0N~iiNN
by our propaganda The base of the Jewish
fraction is very narrow. Too much concen-
tration on the petty-bourgeois elements devel-
opment of cultural clubs and not sufficient at
tention to winning the Jewish workers. Great
energy is expended in the mobilization OF the
Jewish organizations for such activity as the
Artef (JewisA Workers Theater) but not
enough to draw in the Jewish workers into
class struggle unions and building of the In
ternatonal Workmens Order
The Lithuanian Fraction.
One of the most serious right errors was
committed by the Lithuanian comrades in
Easton Here because of the vicious onslaught
of the capitalsts-our comrades are even more
terrorized than the workers. Therefore, they
fear to use the term commissioning that
the workers will not respond. AS result the
call for the May First meeting was issued
not in the name Of the Communist Party but
in the name of workers Organizations.
Because of these opportunist tendencies in
the language fractions, insufficient attention
by the Party organization, the non-functioning
of most of the fractions, our Party has not
assumed the leadership of the language frac-
lions, The Recruiting Campaign, T.UU.L
Drive, Daily Worker campaign ras been given
but little attention. Whereas during the
Recruiting Drive the Party succeeded in mobil-
izing the language fractions to some extent,
and results were attained yet these are insig-
nificant compared to the possibilities. In
Analysing the composition of our membership
we find that among those foreign-bo workers
in the basic industries we have not small
number in the Party showing definitely that
our fractions are not reaching the most ex-
plotted sections of the working class. The
TU.U.L. Drive is still on paper far as the
language fractions concerned No serious
effort has been made to systematically popu-
larize the T.U.U.L. among the foreign-born
workers in these organizations and get them
to join up. Outside of the Jewish Fraction
which has started campaign fer the support
of the Daily Worker-the others have failed to
connect up the Daily Worker with the cam
paigns for the language press.
Only thru careful theological and organiza-
tional supervision by the Language Department
can we change the orientation of our fractions
The fractions must become live functionng
bodies, connected up closely with the general
movement, having one line in the language or
CARNATIONS, and aiming all the time to draw
these organizations more under the influence
of the Communist Party The information
alizing o the organizations is important; over
coming the sect psychology existing among
many sections of the foreign-born masses and
drawing them INTO the general working lass
movement. Less attention to organizations con-
sisting primarily of Party members and more
work in organizations where large numbers
of workers are found. Disintegrating work in
the fascist organizations and winning the
workers for militant and revolutionary strug-
giles. Drawing in our Party members in the
language fractions more into the work of the
Party as whole so that they can constantly
connect up the problems of the general move
ment with their particular activity. Thru such
means can our Party gain prestige among the
foreign-born masses in the language organi-
cations and build reserve for the Party.
