1t is essential that the factory papers ar
range special corners to deal with the questions
of the Fifth R.IL.U. Congress, and also publish
special numbers devoted entirely to these ques-
lions. All the papers should make it point
to explain to the workers at large the present
day situation, the implications and significance
of the growing economic depression, the pros
poets of the struggles ahead, the growth of
unemployment, the offensive against the work
ing class, the menace Of new mperialist war
against the U.S.S.R etc, ETC., relating all these
Questions to the tasks of the revolutionary
T. U. movement.
The papers, should also call attention to the
economic growth of the U.S.SR., the Five-Year
Plan, the struggle against unemployment the
relief being issued the unemployed and the
tendency towards the gradual elimination of
unemployment altogether in Soviet Russia.
Through the press we must boldly and fear
lessly encourage criticism and self-critcism of
the defects and drawbacks of the Revolutionary
T.U. movement, especially regards leader

The positive experience gained during the
preparations various measures, discussions,
meetings, etc. should be carefully studied, and
by means of the press be broug0 to the notice
of the other organizations and the factories. At
the same time we should criticize in a construc-
tive way all the defects Of the present cam
paign.
Special attention should be given to utilize
the worker correspondents during the prepare
tory campaign for the Fifth R.IL.U. Congress.
This campaign will be turned into really eff
fective mass movement if we are able to get
the cooperation Of all the worker correspondents
and organize correspondence between the work
ers ir the capitalist countries the colonial and
semi-colonial countries and with the worker
correspondents of Soviet Russia.
1t would certainly be expedient were the
revolutionary trade union publications in the
various countries to enter an International
Revolutionary Competition to ascertain which
paper is carrying out the preparatory CAM
pagn best of all
Furthermore, the press should give publicity
to the fulfilment of the agreements on the
International Revolutionary Competition in
carrying out the preparatory campaign, as
closed between the various sections during and
after the Sixth Session of the Central r. l.
