ularly in it's relations with the working masses,
must be closely scrutinized on the basis Of devel-
opment of self-crticsm from below; the move
ment must not shrink from the most drastic
renovation of its leadership and methods where
ever necessary to fit the organizations for their
tasks. The process Of organizing the masses must
proceed simultaneously with the development Of
new leading eadres, drawn from the shops, mills
mines, and factories. The most emphatic at
tention must be given to organization of rank
and file committees of struggle, shop commit
tees, ETC., both in connection with the
unions and with the eft-wing groups in the
A. F. of l.. unions, which are the best way to
fight against bureaucratism in organization
and direction of struggle.
25. The economic crisis sharpens the neces-
sity for special attention to the winning of the
masses of the young workers and the working
women who make up an increasingly important
section Of the working class and who are the
hardest hit by the economic crisis, and who
offer one of the most important sources for
the strengthening of the Party ranks. This is
especially true of work among the Negro
masses, which must receive constantly increased
attention The crisis will also intensity the
oppression of the colonial masses, and their re-
sistance, and call upon our Party for redoubled
energy and attention to support of the indie
pendence struggles, and to the establishment
of trade unions and communist parties in the
oppressed countries. For our Party, increased
attention and assistance to Latin American and
Filipino movements is imperative
rs. Organization and struggle for the unem-
ployed workers attains major Importance in
all work of the Party, which will constantly
grow greater with the development of the
crisis. Some districts of the Party are still

program The entire Party must sharply check
itself up in this work. The demand for unenl-
ployment insurance of full union wage rates
must be made a mass demand of millions of
workers; the organization of unemployed coun-
ellis III close relations with the revolutionary
trade unions and employed workers, must be
pushed theoretically; and the entire unemploy-
.ment program of the Party must be made
known to hundreds of thousands, by system
attic distribution Of pamphlets and leaflets,
making it the center and basic program of the
unemployment movement.
27. The Party Recruiting Drive attans enor-
nous Importance in the performance of all
other political and organization work, for only
by carrying out this recruitment successfully
will the Party gain the necessary forces with
which to perform its role and meet the multi
plying duties and demands of the STRUGGLE
Demands and struggles arising out of the eco
nomic crisis Unemployment, wage-cuts role of
state and social-reformsts, etc.) must be
placed in the forefront of our Recruiting Cam
paign. Special attention must be given to build
ing shop nuclei and the problem of keeping and
developing new members. There must be no
following of the line of least resistance such as
may result in recruiting only unemployed
workers and neglect of those in the factories
Without neglecting the unemployed in the
slightest, the Party must drive into the factories
Where it is most essential that we must strike
our roots deep, especially insthe large factories
The recruiting drive must be made the bearer
OF all the main campaigns of the Party, and
at the same time strengthen these campaigns
and the recruitment.
20. The entire Party press must be sharply
reorentated upon the economic crisis and its
consequences. 1t is ONLY OUR press which
is giving true picture of the crisis we have
