the immediate future. With the declaration of
war the workers will be faced with the at
ten1pts Of American bourgeoisie TO gaic their
support for the irlDerialist war against the
workers CT follow the leadership o. the Com
n unist Earty to turr the mrerialist war into
civil war,
However in order to successfully carry on
any struggle at all, the immediate task that
confronts the workers is the elementary task
of organization. The fighting mood of the
workers expresses itself in new sectors every
day. but the workers generally are unorganzed,
heritage of betrayals left by the A. F. of L.
and the socialist party Only the Communist
Party and the revolutionary TUUL stand out
as the leaders of working class struggles,
strong in influence but woefully weak organ
nationally The great majority of the work
ing class stands before tremendous capitalist
offensive on the eve of new world war in
an epoch of proletarian revolution. fighting
heroically on many fronts in the offensive re-
sisting the attacks of the bosses, but unor-
gained. This is the main weakness in Amer
lea today.
The blame for this weakness cannot be
placed upon the shoulders of the working class
as whole The blame belongs to the revoiu-
tionary section of the working class, the ad-
herents of the RILU, that is the revolutionary
trade unionists, but particularly the Commu-
nists knowing for years the treachery of the
social reformists, that their treachery and
constant betrayal of the workers was bound to
lead to Generalization and to the smashing
of the trade unions under their control We
Jagged behind in organizing movements of the
workers to replace these worn out shells of
class collaboration, even today in an epoch of
proletarian revolution and imperiaist wars
when the workers of the U. S. A. will be called
upon to support an imperialist war or fight
against it. which means civil war. We have
not yet learned how to organize the morgan
lied, how to draw the workers into strike
struggle, how to form united fronts from be-
low. how to crystalline our influence organ
nationally, how to weld the unemployed and
employed into joint struggle, how TO unite the
white and Negro workers into joint struggle
Organizing the unorganized today is ma
jor political task, to buil1 revolutionary in
dustrial unions in the basic war industries. to
build the TUUL into a real revolutionary
union center, as the leader Of the economic
struggles of the workers. to strengthen the
Party by drawing in workers from TIE fac
tory. While organizing the rnorganized is the
task of the TUUL. the dynamic force within
the TUUL are the Communists. Through them
the revolutionary unions are set in notion
which in turn car set millions of workers in
motion, in mass struggles. against their en-
poyers. against war, against capitalism. Or
ganize the unorganized is the main task con-
fron.ir~ the American workers today.

meeting. The next day that worker travels
about five miles to find that there is no leaf
let ready and he has Travelled for nothing
However, he does not get discouraged, asks for
other work. He is assigned then to sell Daily
Workers at a union meeting and when he ar
rives at the place he finds that there is no
union meeting scheduled for that night On
the following Saturday he is told to go and
distribute leaflets in the front of big rail-
road shop, but when he comes Saturday he
finds that the leaflet is not ready.
In another instance an appeal is made that
comrades volunteer to distribute leaflets on
the needle trades market. Six comrades of
the nucleus volunteer, of whom two are new
members. The following morning 8 comrades
show up-the two new ones and only one of
the cold guard"
Such actions together with the inactivity of
the nuclei, the wasting of time in the opening
of meetngs-two hours late and the lack of
well planned and disciplined action are bound
to demoraize the splendid elements that we
are recruiting at present.
The task politicalization of the units,
every member must be active, more Commu-
mist discipline, and more planned activity-this
will assure the retaining of the new members.

ON LENI.N

our Party When I compared him with the
other leaders of our PARTY. it always apresrsd
to me as if Lenin's collaborators- Pleckhanov,

them, he was not simply one of the leaders i

that I felt the necessity to write to near

to whom my friend had given my letter to

but it gave a bold, fearless criticism of the
practice of our Party and surprisingly clear
and compact presentation of the whole plan of
work for the next period Only Lenin was
capable of writing so simply and clearly, so

From a speech delivered at a meeting OF the
military students in the Crenilin on the 18th
of January, 1924 Comrade Stain prefaces his
speech with the following remarks:
II
I HAVE been told that memorial evening IN
honor of Lenin has been arranged here and
that I have been invited to attend the same
to deliver a report. l consider it unnecessary
to give a detailed speech on Lenin's activity
and prefer to confine myself to relating
number of facts which illustrate Lenin's pecul-
iarities which reveal him to us as man and
statesman These facts are perhaps not con-
nected together by any inner bond but this IS
no reason why we should not derive from them
a general picture of Lenin. However that
may be- am not in a position at the present
moment to give you more than have just
promised.
The Eagle.
I first made the acquaintance of Lenin in
the year 1903. This acquaintance, it is true,
was not personal one, but was based on an
exchange of letters. But this acquaintance
ship made an unforgettable impression upon
me, which has not left me during the whole OF
my Party activity. At that time was living
in Punishment in Siberia. Acquaintance with
the revolutionary activity of Lenin at the end
of the nineties and particularly after the year
1901 after the appearance of the "lskra"
(Spark) convinced me that here we had to do
with quiet exceptional person. saw in him
at that time not the simple leader of our
Party, but it's actual founder, for he alone un-
derstood the inner nature and requirements of

Reaching the Factories.
Our activities are not confined to the city
of Detroit alone. Other cities in the district,
like Pontiac and Grand Rapids are following
the example A bulletin called the Daily
Worker Builder periodically reports on the pro-
gress of the work, criticizes the shortcomings
and gives suggestions for the improvement of
methods of work.
Besides the distribution thru the units, four
newsboys, unemployed comrades, are selling
the Daily Worker in front of the Hudson Mo
tor Car Co., Briggs Body, Chevrolet, and
Dodge Motor Car Co., despite several attempts
on the part of the police to scare them away
This way around 800 Daily Workers penetrate
those factories, and comrades working there
report that the Daily Worker is the topic of
many conversation among the workers. Da
by day, the sales increasing. In the nea
future, more newsboys will cover other fac
tories. Within few days we will increase
order from 1000 copies to 1000. The
Young Pioneers are being modified for SELL
ing the Daily Worker at street corners. Our
main shortcoming is the insufficient number
of subs we are securing, but this distribution
is laying the basis of fertile field of sub
scribers.
District Seven has taken the building of the
Daily Worker, seriously, with the result that
the Party is growing with rapid strides. The
tremendous success of the Lenin Memorial
meeting was due to great extent to the fact
that $4,000 Daily Workers had been distrib-
uted turnout the city. The end of the recruit
ing drive does not mean the end of our Daily
Worker campaign We have come to realize
that building the Daily Worker is an insep-
arabic part of our everyday Communist ac.I

BY n. GREEN, (Chicago.)

THE present recruiting drive that our Party
is conducting has again proven that the
workers are becoming radicalized and if prop
erly approached many of them are ready to
join our Party More workers have joined our
Party in this campaign than in any previous
campaign.
The problem, therefore, becomes how can
we retain the thousands of workers that are
recruited
Most of those joining the Party at present
are coming to the Party as result of the
mass struggles that we have conducted in the
past year. These workers come to us on the
basis of struggle and, therefore, are ready to
carry on active work as soon as they are as
signed to nuclei. Unfortunately many nuclei
live yet in the second period, do not carry on
any political activities, have no discipline and
when new member happens to fall into such
a nucleus he gets discouraged and drops out
of the Party. Here is a concrete example in
