PARTY RECRUITING DRIVE
Keep the New Members

ITO RECRUIT new members without being
u able to keep them in the Party means to
have a wasted recruiting drive We must
therefore raise sharply the question of retain
ing the new members. 1t is not an exaggera-
ton to say that (basing ourselves on past ex-
periences) many new members leave the Party
after having been present at one or two meet
ings.
The main difference between the present re-
cruiting drive and past drives is that the pre-
sent is based on the political tasks of the Party
in connection with the growing struggles of
the workers. Therefore we must expect that
the new members will join our Party as a re-
suit of our mass activities. The new members,
however, in many instances, will find that the
Party units that they were assigned to are
not fighting organizations but in many in
stances isolated from the class struggle.
We get the new members into the Party
because of the political campaigns of the Party,
yet insofar as our Party units are concerned,
in most cases they still do not appear as poll
teal organizations of the Party. We must
therefore make the unit the political mobiliza-
ton point for all the campaigns of the Party.
ms Recruiting Drive must be based on get
ting the most active and militant workers,
who will join the Party as result of our lead
ership in various strikes and struggles. The
workers who join our Party will therefore ex-
pect and look forward to being involved in
active Party work. The prevalent procedure
in the Party units is that we usually meet a
new member with a cold shower and no at
tempt whatever is made to involve him in unit
work. At times this is done in a perverted
manner; when old members of the unit refuse
to accept certain position in the unit, the new
member is overburdened. AS soon as new
member joins the Party he must be Immediately
drawn into unit activities.
The District Executive Committee decided to
call every two weeks meeting of new men,
bers and to establish for them monthly Glass;
having as its purpose the discussion of ex-
periences, impressions, and opinions of new
members as to the activities of the Party units
In this monthly class we will also take up
with new members the political line of the
Party and its political campaigns.
Keep every new Party member!

,truggle Against Opportunism
in the Greek Fraction
BY III. PHILLIPS.
Secretary Greek Buro of the Co

Since the arrival of the Comintern Address
there has been great deal of discussion in
our Party on the right danger. The Address
was accepted by the entire Greek membership
of the Party, with the exception of three.
The Greek membership is composed of 100
per cent unskilled workers, therefore 100 per
cent proletarian elements, and this is the
son for the unanimous acceptance of the Com
intern Address. The composition of our frac-
ton is entirely different from that of other
language fractions of the Party since there
are no petty-bourgeois intellectuals in our
ranks, such as lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc,
which are mostly found in the ranks of other
language fractions.
But although the Address of the Comintern
and the immediate events which followed it
brought about big change in the language
fractions, nevertheless there still exists an
isolation of the language fractions from the
general activity of the Party. This is especially
true for the Greek comrades, for which it is
often still very difficult to cut off the chains
of the past and to orientate themselves to the
new situation.
great number of them attend the unit
meetings in the same way religious"
people go to church They cross them
selves, pray and return home, feeling that they
have done their duty to the movement. Even
where some Greek comrades participate in the
large-scale. struggles of the workers, they do
it from a narrow national point of view, in
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-06
Struggle Against Opportunism in
the Greek Fraction

stead of following the general line of the move
ment. We still rotate too much in the margin
of national issues instead of taking up the
issues and daily demands of the native Amer
lean workers and we are still dangerously
isolated from the general life of the Party
in few words: in spite of the remarkable
Improvement of the situation, we are not as
yet an organic part of the Party and we are
not involved in the general rotation of forces
of the Party. This constitutes a danger for
the Greek fraction, because being aloof from
the life of the Party, gives rise to many dam
gerous mistakes, and deviations, and strength
ems cyndicalist tendencies which still dominate
the Greek comrades to great extent:
Undoubtedly we have made many mistakes
in the course of our activities, and the reason
for them is to be found in this isolation frsm
the life of the Party. A. proposal for an al
lance with the Greek Bishop in this country
is not an accident. The former leaders of the
fraction, the renegades Christie and Kalfides
trueopportunist followers Of Lovestone did
their utmost to destroy the fraction and to have
the Greek paper of the Party Empress" is
mued monthly instead of weekly. But thanks
to the Address of the Comintern these so-called
revolutionists found themselves outside of the
Party in the camp of the enemy, where they
belong.
Our fraction is again concentrating its
forces moving close to the Party, becoming
an organic part of it's and participating in all
its developments. Nut we still have before US
the task of completing this development and
completely overcoming our isolation, With the
assistance of the Central Committee we will
succeed in this and march forward But we
need for this better attention and directions
from the Party.

Results of Distribution of
Recruiting Drive Pamphlet

AS an integral part of the Party Recruiting
Drive goes the mass distribution of Party
literature. Small, popularity written pamphlets
are the easiest to SELL In connection with the
Recruiting Drive, the Party issued a special
pamphlet, "Why Every Worker Should Join
the Communist Party in an edition of 100000
copies. This means that we get away from
the idea that literature is only for Party con-
sumption and understand that we must have
mass literature distribution
The following are the results up to Dec. %,
less than three weeks after the drive started.
This shows a good beginning for many dis
tricts Since literature is only sent upon re-
ceipt of cash, there are two columns-one show
ing the intentions of the district and the other
showing what they have actually paid for and
therefore received

Thousands of the Mennonites are stranded
