THE COMMUNIST. Published monthly by the

America, P. o. Box 14S, Station ID, New York

For every worker who wants to clearly under
stand the tremendous tasks that face the working
class of the United States and the only way in
which successful fight can be carried on against
the attempt of the imperalists to find capt.
talist way out OF the crisis the April and May
numbers of THE COMMUNIST are indispen-
sable.
The April number should be in the hands OF
every Communist and every sympathizer and
class-conscious worker if only for the purpose
of studying the resolution for the Plenum of the
Central Committee of the Party, entitled "The
Tasks of the Communist Party in the United
States of America" 1t is unquestionably one of
the best contributions ever made toward the
revolutionary task of modifying the decisive
masses of the working class for the struggle
against the capitalist offensive and the I'M
perialist war conSpiracies Of the ruling class.
In that document are recorded number OF
achievements of the Party during the past period
between the 18th and 14th plenunls). But the
central point of the document is a critical ana
lySis Of the shortcomings of our work and the
emphasis on the necessity OF radical turn that
will overcome our isolation from the masses in
industry Included in the resolution are exact
Characterization of the capitalist offensive the
war preparations, and of the instruments used by
the capitalist class to carry out its attacks against
the working class In this connection the sec
tons dealing with socialist party treachery, the
demagogy of the MusteiteS and their Lovestone
and Cannon aides, is particularly timely because
it is in just such critical period that these ee-
mentS are utilized by the capitalist class in their
despicable work of trying to fool the radicalized
workers and to divide our ranks so an effective
struggle cannot be waged against the hunger and
war program of the Wall Street government.
Every act of these imperialist agents among the
working class proves the correctness of the state
rnent in the resolution that they must be fought
as the main enemy in the struggle for the
successful mobilization of the masses in the fight
against the bourgeois offensive and the war
danger"
To achieve decisive turn, to overcome a con-
dition in which we appear before the masses as
a "party for the workers. but not party of the
workers" there must be fundamental change
in our work especially that of the lower organi-
cations. "The main basis OF the work and the
development OF the lower Party organizations is
the work in the factories" Great stress is laid
upon work in the revolutionary trade unions in
SIDE the A. F. Of L. unions, in the extension OF
the fight for unemployment and social insurance.
A special section is devoted to the election cam
paign which insists that the main slogan must
be the demand for unemployment and social in
surance at the expense Of the state and en-
pIoyerS.
AS against the capitalist way out of the crisis
the PIenum document demands that we concrete
ly unmask every act OF the tn1perialist bandits
