SION The district must take all measures to
involve the broad rank and file in the discus

bers. You must assure free and frank dis
cussion of Party problems and tasks. You
should particularly encourage open and frank
rank and file criticism of the Party's mis-
takes and shortcomings. In the discussion you
should wage a bitter struggle against the
Right danger in our Party, particularly
against opportunism and the right wing DANCE
in the practical carrying through of Party de.
cisions You should guard yourself against all
tendencies of "heresy hunting and center all
your attention on the feminist method of cri-
ticism of all tendencies to deviate from the
correct Party line. You must vigorously COM
bat all attempts to ridicule wrong expressions
and unclear attitude on the part of new men,
bers, which is based on mis-conception and
misunderstanding of the Party and our tasks.
Wrong opinions and ideas of our new and I'M
developed members must be corrected through
comradely self-criticism and theological clari-
fication. The presentation of the pre-conven-
ton discussion in the units is to be open.
Workers sympathetic to movement shall
be invited. In those shops where we have a
nucleus and a shop committee, members of the

invited. Discussion in the units must be clear
and simple. You should eliminate all bombas-
tic phrase-mongering which the new members
will not understand You must explain the
political tasks of the Party as they are en-
bodied in the Party thesis in the simplest Ian
guage understood by all members.
T. After the discussion by the district and
in each unit, the membership is to adopt a
resolution on the discussion and Party thesis.
The resolution of each unit is not to be a
stereotyped resolution prepared by the district
office or the section. The Executive Buro of
every unit itself is to draw up and present
the resolution to the membership. The same
applies to the district resolution. 1t must nfG
be a replica of the thesis but a concrete all
plication of the thesis to the district tasks
s. The Central Committee invites a discus
sion of our Party tasks and the Convention
thesis in all our Party press. The Daily Work.
er and our language press is to carry ON
broad discussion in its columns. In order to
achieve the most results from the discussion
we must have not only the leading comrades
and functionaries in the district write for
our Party press but we must take special
measures to encourage the members in the
units to participate in the pre-convention dis
cussion in our Party press, particularly the
comrades working in large shops and those ac-
tive in trade union work and in the everyday
work of the Party. All discussion material,
articles, resolutions, ETC., are to be sent to the
Agitprop Department, Central Committee.
