added Importance with the latest tactics adopted
by them which constitute distinct cleft" man
euver designed to head off the masses who are
moving towards the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party. Examples and characteristic points
of this maneuver are: A. F. of l.. taking lead
ership in strikes (Paterson) in order to behead
and betray them; A. F. of L. use of Music ele
ments and even communist" renegades to fool
the workers; Socialist party manifesto on unem-
ployrnent, calling for demonstrations and coun-
ellis; socialist party independent "relief' for
striking miners as a basis of their struggle
against the National Miners Union; the project
of taking the National Miners Union away
from the Communists" ETC. The treachery OF
the social fascists cannot be exposed et1ecClVely
before the masses by abstract slogans; this task
requires first OF all a correct application OF the
tactic OF united front from below IN all struggles
of the workers; and upon the basis OF concrete
experiences the exposure Of the treacherous acts
of the social fascists individually and collectively
in the course of struggle It is Important also 10
connect up social fascist treachery in the U.S-A.
with the similar practice OF the Second Inter
national in other countries, particularly in the
must reveal the identity Of their policies with
those of the capitalist class to put into effect the
capitalfst policies We must shatter the illusion
which is prevailing among large masses of work
ers that the socialist party stands for Social
ISM in contradstinction to the Communist Party
standing for Communism; we must expose be-
fore the workers the fact tina 1.-THE socialist party
no more stands for Socialism than the demo-
cratic party stands for democracy; that Social
ism as stage in the development OF Corn1nu-
nism is demonstrated in life by the achieve
ments OF the Soviet Union and that Socialism
can only be achieved through revolutionary class
struggle under the leadership of the Communist
Party through the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.
IT. In the struggle for Negro rights in which
our Party has registered highly significant pol1t~
icaI victories, the utmost attention must now be
concentrated upon consolidating our mass in
fluence organizationally by ca intensified re-
cruiting OF Negro workers into the Party; CD
mass recruiting of Negro workers into the rev.
olutionary trade unions and unemployed coun-
ellis and the development Of their special inn
mediate economic demands; Co building OF the
mass circulation of the Iiberator and the
crystallization of the L.S.N.R groups around it.
The last trace of white chauvinism in the ranks
Special attention must be given to the develop
| ment of leading cadres from among the Negro
| workers in all phases of work. Concentration
upon certain limited demands in special cam
paigns (Scottsboro) must be used as the start
| ing point to develop the broadcast mass propa-
| ganda for the whole Communist program on the
| Negro question The serious weaknesses that
have appeared at times in dealing with the Ne

| must be Systematically and energeticaly cor
rected.
49, It Is necessary to begin real organized
| work on the farms. In this field we have not
| even begun to formulate the partial demands
| In the first place by developing the struggles of
| the agricultural wage workers and their or
| ganization in the Agricultural Workers Union
| Poor farmers who are in ever-larger numbers
| facing restitution and starvation must be mob
| ilized In action committees for struggle against
taxation of their meager properties, against all
| foreclosures for non-payment of taxes or mort
| cages, for relief free seeds, etc. from the gov
eminent against the extortions of marketing and
terminal corporations railroads. ETC., against the
| feudal remnants of the share-cropping system,
especially in the South etc. Basing ourselves
upon the masses of poor farmers, every effort
must be made to draw in the middle farmers or
| TO neutralize them. The United Farmers League
must be given all possible support in the circula
ton OF It's paper and the extension of its or
ganization. All Party papers and especially the
Southern Worker must give more systematic at
tention to the development of the struggle of
| the farmers.
| 49, The work among the youth is more and
more becoming living, practical problem Of to-
| day for our Party in every field Of struggle,
strike struggles, unemployed movement, Negro
work, ETC. The Young Communist League at its
recent Sixth Convention demonstrated that it
has begun to emerge from its critical condition
of year ago. II must be stated, however, that
the leadership and assistance of the Party to the
| Y.CL. and the mass youth organizations has
