The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-02-01
RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS FROM THE LANGUAGE
MASS ORGANIZATIONS

cial1y to all those workers who have supported
the Party for years.
The duty of the fractions is to call special
meetings of all those workers that are par
ticipating in campaigns and make them con-
scious of the necessity of joining our ranks; that
the revolutionary activities Of class-conscious
workers do not limit themselves to the mass Or
CARNATIONS but must be extended into the fac
tories
Another wrong conception that must be lqui-
dated is preventing revolutionary workers that
are following the line of the Party from becom-
ing members because of the fear that they would
be involved in general Party work, and that they
will slacken down in their activities in the mass
organizations.
When we analyze our forces inside the fac
tories we only look at the nuclei, at the shop
committees, and overlook the fact that in prac-
tically all the largest factories, mines and mills
we have hundreds Of readers of our Party press,
hundreds of members of mass organizations that
follow our Party.
These are potential forces that must be
ganized-not only for the building of the revolu-
tionary unions but also for the building of new
Party nuclei, for the establishing of more con-
nections with the workers inside the factories.
For this reason the recruitment Of thousands
of members from the language organizations is
of the utmost Importance.
The language press must play leading role
in this drive-must develop an theological cam
paign through which not only the Communist
fractions in the language mass organizations,
but the thousands and thousands of our sympa-
thizers that are reached in the factories, must
be made conscious of the Importance of the
drive.
The District Language Departments must call
special meetings of all district language buroS,
for the mobilization of the fractions and also
call meetings of our close Sympathizers in the
language mass organizations.
The example of the New York District where
the fractions are calling special meetings at
which Party speakers are invited to speak on
the role of the Party, is very good method and
has to be followed. The role of the Party in
the building and leading of the mass organiza-
tons must be made clear to the language or
CARNATIONS, especially in the organizations led
by the reactionaries and where the left wing
movement is conducting a sharp struggle
The possibilities of drawing thousands Of work
ers (from the mass organizations who are &C
lively participating in the campaigns conducted
by the Party into our ranks is tremendous. How
ever, in spite of the fact that thousands and
thousands of members of these organizations are
participating in the daily struggles, the recruit
ing drive is considered apart from other cam
paigns.
Forward in this drive with redoubled ener-
gies and enthusiasm. Forward to the building
of our Party into real mass Party which will
root itself deeper and deeper in the factories.
The comrades active in the mass organizations
must make clear that through the strengthening
of the Party stand in the mass organizations
close to U.s. and through the mobilization Of these
forces, we will be able to reach greater masses
of thousands of language mass organizations
with millions of members, who today are in re-
bellion against the reactionary leadership, are
more and more involved in the daily struggle and
are susceptible of being modified in all cam
paigns conducted by the Party, and especially in
the campaign for the protection of the foreign
born.
