The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-12-15

8, The offensive of the capitalists against the
working class and especially against the revolu-
tionary section finds one of its sharpest express
sionS in the proposed legislation against the for
eign born. The response of the foreign born
masses to the movement for the protection of
foreign born workers has been very satisfactory
but our political and organzational consoida-
ton of this movement especially in the districts
has been entirely inadequate. 1t is necessary to
develop the struggle for the protection of the
foreign born on local scale and tie up the
movement of protest against the proposed fed
eral legislation with the local and economic
issues and with the local organizations of for
eign born and native workers. especially with
the revolutionary trade unions. Especially must
every locality be sharply on the lookout to fight
against all efforts to set the native against the
foreign born in struggle for jobs, against local
governmental determinations against the foreign
born against mass dsmissals of foreign born
workers, against the attempts to set Negroes and
foreign born against one another and SO on
The fullest cooperation must be given to the
Council for the Protection of Foreign Born.
9. The work of our Party in the colonial coun-
tries and among the colonial immigrants in the
United States has made decided improvement
in the past months. The Plenum especially
greets the resumption of publication of our
Spanish language paper, Vida Obrera, which is
not only an organ of leadership of the Latin
American immigrants in the United States and
their inclusion in the class struggle of this
country, but is at the same time great instru-
ment for binding us together with the revolu-
tionary workers of Latin America, and cellab-
Grating with them in the solution of their tasks
in the colonial revolution.
Much more serious attention must now be

organizations. This Plenum sends its warmest
fraternal greetings to all our brother Parties in
the colonial countries.
10. The development OF the Young Commu-
mist League towards mass work. to the carrying
out OF the line OF the Seventh Party Convention
and OF the YCL, has been hampered by the
slowness of some leading youth comrades in un-
derstanding the line and putting it into prac-
tice. In some cases this slowness has been SO
pronounced as to result in practical sabotage of
the carrying through of the program of action
The results that have been achieved where the
line has been applied with energy and under
standing have shown distinct improvement of
the YCL and in the youth work generally but
this improvement is only the barest beginnings
1t is necessary that all passivity and hanging
back in the leadership Of the youth work shall
be thoroughly liquidated in order that the en-
tire energies of the still weak leading cadres
among the youth can be concentrated upon con-
structve work and struggle. Especial attention
must be given not only by the youth comrades
but by the entire Party and revolutionary trade
