to draw the Soviet Union into war,
preparing for an assault on the
eastern borders of the Soviet Union.
The development of the Fascist
regime in Germany is further inten-
styling the war danger as 1t ex-
presses itself in Western Europe and
in the preparations Of the imperial
lists for intervention against the Soviet
Union from the West.
The situation in Latin America con-
tinues to show further the develop
nlent of the Anglo-American anita
gonisn and above all the rising rev.
dictionary movement of the Latin
American masses and the imperialiSt
policy Of the United States in sup
pressing this revolutionary movement.
This is especially shown in the inter-
vention against the Cuban revolution,
and in the manoeuvers being executed
in the inner political life Of Cuba by
the agents of American Imperialism.
In all of these developments of
preparations for war, it is necessary
again to point out the tremendous
role that is being played by the peace
policy of the Soviet Union around
which are being rallied all the forces
of struggle against war In the entire
world.

The Congress Against War and Fascism

First the DAILY WORKER must
become more of an organizer and
agitator of the masses on specific ac-
tons. Second, the DAILY WORKER
must have more of mass cir
culation. And third, the DAILY
WORKER must have a more acti-
vized, organized financial support.
With regard to the first question
Of making the DAILY WORKER
a better organizer and agitator, a
great deal of this must be done by
the staff of the DAILY WORKER,
but there must be more organized
collaboration from the unions and
from the districts. Some beginning.

but they are still inadequate. There
is still too much the feeling on the
part of our unions and districts
that the improvement of DAILY
WORKER is only a question to be
solved in the office OF the DAILY
WORKER, not an understanding
that this requires very serious
political colIaD grafton from the
field, without which no serious
improvement can be made in the
Center.
With regard to the circulation Of
the DAILY WORKER we must say
that it is criminally neglected, There
is hardly a single district in our Party
that gives really serious attention tc
securing mass circulation Of the
DAILY WORKER. The DAILY
WORKER circulation is increasing
but it is a spontaneous process No
body really organizes 1t, nobody really
plans what shall be done BY the

There is taking place at this
moment a big concentration Of
forces to stop the strike wave at all
costs by suppression, by breaking it
up from within as much as possible,
but above all by breaking it with
forces from without, in order to en-
force the starvation wage levels
that have been established in the
NRA codes. We have already
pointed out in quite some detail in
the Extraordinary Party Confer
ence, and since then in articles
and pamphlets the connection of all
these developments in the internal
life of the country with the sharp
ening of the war danger, and have
shown how all of these develop
nents reflect the sharpening class
relations in the country and the
preparations for imperialist war. 1t

velOpment of their struggles against
the A. F. of L. burocracy and to the
leadership of the Communist Party.
At the same time we can note the
further development of the differen-
tiation within the Socialist Party, the
further divisions between workers fol-
lowing the Socialist Party and their
official leadership. This was given an
impetus by the lessons of the rise of
German Fascism and the capitulation
and complete bankruptcy of German
Social Democracy. 1t is being carried
further especially by the development
of the war danger, and is sharpened
by the issues of the struggle against
war within the Socialist ranks, by the
organization of the recent Anti-War
Congress, as well as by the develop
ments in the strike struggles in which
the Socialist Party official leaders give
complete support to the burocracy of

The Revolutionary Solution of the Crisis

An essential part of the whole prop
uganda of the revolutionary solution
of the crisis, the proletarian dictator
ship is the example of the successful
revolution and the building of social
ism in the Soviet Union. 1t is all
these things that will really win the
workers to join our Party and hold
them in the Party when we get them
in. And a large number Of our lead
ing comrades in many districts who
think that they can get LARGER num-
Der of workers to join the Party by
talking to them only about the i'm
mediate demands, and who soft-pedal
the ultimate program of our Party in
order to be popular, these comrades
are making a big mistake. Precisely
this line is what keeps workers out
Of the Party, because it doesn't give
them the essential reason why the
Party is necessary and why they must

of strikes in other places; the speech
of Secretary of Labor Perkins who
brought forward openly, in the name
of the administration, the concept of
the corporate state, taken over bodily
from international fascist theology;
and especially in the speech of Hugh
L. johnson, Recovery Administrator,
who declared that strikes are out
lawed under the NRA, that strikes
will not be tolerated.
Coincident with this development
we also have again the bringing for
ward Of the injunction weapon as one
Of the principal means of combating
the rising strike movement, especially
in the light industries, and in the
combating of thousands of small
strikes that are sweeping the country.
So that the struggle against injunc-
tions is again becoming one OF the
main features of the fight Of the
workers to resist the capitalist Of

ginnings among the miners in West
ern Pennsylvania, where we are still
largely working on the basis Of the
old NMU cadTes that were swept into
the UMWA in the recent struggles.
We have TO point out also that in per-
haps not single district has the
Party seriously taken up the question
OF building the Young Communist
League or given tie youth any serious
political guidance or material help.
Outstanding among these various
weaknesses has to be mentioned the
serious lack Of engaging the Negro
workers in the mass struggles that
have taken place, of recruiting them
into the trade unions or the Unem-
ployed Councils, with q few good ex-
ceptions, such as the st. Louis nut
pickers and Chicago garment work
ers, which occurred even before the

The upsurge of struggle Of the
workers, leading and extending the
struggles of other oppressed sections
of the population, has brought GER
tain new features into the life of the
working class in the United States,
requiring certain additional emphasis
upon some of the tasks which we
had previously set ourselves. The de-
velopments of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, marked on the one
hand by inclusion Of some new hun
dreds of thousands of workers within
the A. F. of L., and on other hand
by additional exposure Of the A. r.

machinery, serve to emphasize for us
the enormous opportunities now be-

Advances of Party of Very Uneven Character

We emphasize that the whole Party
has not as yet fully understood the
application of the Open Letter, that
The leading cadres have not succeeded
in fully mobilizing the Party for these
tasks. We emphasize that the adj
vances have been of a very uneven
character Some important districts
such as Clevalend, have hardly par
ticipated in these advances. Other
districts for example, Detroit, which
had made important beginnings have
lost their grip for period and even
slipped back. And even in the best
Of districts, there is a most serious
aneyenness in the work, an instabil-
,ty of the advances which have been
made and continued weaknesses. We
have to emphasize that generally
throughout the country and in prac-
iically every industry we have not
made any serious beginnings in mass
Fork inside the A. F. Of L., with the

We have in the past days just had
a very shard expression Of this change
of emphasis, - the bringing forward
very sharply of all of the fascist ele-
ments in the New Deal,--in the terror
against the steel strikers in Alnbrid2e
ana the shooting down OF workers on
the streets, clearing the streets with
machine guns; in the fascist attacks
against the Agricultural workers in
California and the open lynch terror
against these agricultural strikers; in
the military law used to break the
strikers led by the National Miners
Union in Utah and New Mexico. A
part of this tendency is the growing
ynch-terror against the Negroes.
Corresponding to this practical ap-
pIication of fascist measures in the
class struggle, we have the sharper
bringing forward Of the fascist ideo-
Iogy within the New Deal, e., ~essed
IN the American Federation O. Labor
Convention, especially in the speeches
made there by Roosevelt who prac-
tically placed his official confirmation

Our Party seems to have the con-
ception that if we are in mass ac-
tivities, we cannot build-recruit into
the Party. 1--WE haven't got time for
such thing. We have more i'm
portant things to do. If we could
stop all the struggles, then we would
have time to recruit; then we could

when the comrades say, I'VE are too
busy with more important things and
haven't time to build the Party?"
Such an answer, such an attitude as
his to the question of building the
Party displays a serious lack Of
understanding of the role of the
Party in the mass struggles.
Comrades, we must speak very
sharply. 1t shows a Menshevik
opportunist conception of the Party.

danger have raised the class struggle
to a higher level and have greatly
intensified the development of the
trend towards fascism in the United
States.
It is apparent today and pretty
generally recognized that all Of the
expedients, all Of the extraordinary
measures of the Roosevelt Admins
tration have failed to change the
downward course of development. AS
a result, we already see the begin
nings Of a shifting of emphasis in the
policy Of the Roosevelt Administra-
ton from the phase of the denagogic
befuddlement of the minds of the
workers, which still remains as a
major policy, to the phase of the
suppression of the movements Of the
workers.

For the Carrying Out of the Open Letter

the new period when we will be
organizing hundreds and thousands
of workers.
There must be the rejuvenation
of the Party from the bottom to the
top. We must bring forward all
those forces who hitherto have not
had the opportunity to develop in
our movement, whom the Open
Letter brought forward, who have
proven in practice that they can do
it-these elements must be brought
to the forefront and all obstructive
elements pushed to one side. This
must be the slogan for the Sth Con-
vention of our Party, for the ac-
tolerated tempo of the carrying
through of the Open Letter.

problem of the revolutionary way
out of the crisis, the problems Of
the seizure Of power, the problem of
the resolution, the overthrow OF
capitalism. And large part of the
turnover in our Party membership
arises from the fact that we recruit
the new members only on the basis
of the immediate struggle, without
educating them into the higher
political significance of the Party
as the instrument for carrying
through the revolution and the
transformation of society, the defeat
Of the capitalist class, the estab-
lishment of new kind of govern
ment. And, after all this is the real
explanation for the necessity for our
kind Of Party.

Nobody can say that the Com
munist Party was not the very center
Of the Anti-War Congress-the out
standing feature Of the Congress
was the work Of the Communist
Party. But nobody can accuse the
Communist Party that by standing
at the very center of it before the
whole world, 1t was pursuing a Sec
tartan policy, that it was limiting
the united front. On the contrary,
no right sectarianism or left sectar-
iapism was expressed in this congress
because the Party was there as the
foremost fighter for the broadcast
possible united front in the struggle
against war. The Party brought
forward the program that united the
whole Congress, and the Party estab-
hshed favorable condition among
all OF those masses who worked in
the Congress, who had any contact
with the Congress, to create great
prestige for the Party. creating the
conditions for building the Party.
recruiting new members, gathering
around us larger groups of SYM
pathizers. 1t is on this model that
we have to work in all phases of the
struggle. 1t is along this line that
the unions must work inside OF each
industry; it is along this line that
the unemployed councils must carry
through their struggle for the uni
fication of all unemployed organiza-
lions of the United States-no by
hiding themselves in top committees,
but by standing forth as the chief
fighters and chief instruments for
achieving this union.
A few words about the DAILY
WORKER. We are proud of the i'm
provements that have been made in
the DAILY WORKER. But want
to talk mainly about the continued
weaknesses. There are still three
main weaknesses with regard to our
paper.

join. y
So in emphasizing in conclusion
again the problem of recruiting and
building the Party, I think we must
say it is essential to bring forward
the revolutionary program, the revo-
lutionary character of our Party, to
propaganda the revolutionary way
out of the crisis, the problem of the
seizure of power, the problem Of
building socialism in America as a
problem of the next future of the
United States. And on this basis,
standing on our revolutionary pro-
gram, not only in our inner councils,
but before the masses Of workers, we
will not weaken but on the contrary
we will strengthen the daily struggle,
we will strengthen our position in the
trade unions and other mass organ
izations, and we will strengthen and
build our Party.

The main feature of our coming
convention, the preparations, the
discussion of the elections that take
place must be the bringing for
ward in the most energetic manner
of the new fresh forces that have
developed out of the mass struggles,
the bringing forward and placing in
positions of responsibility and
leadership from the bottom to the
top Of those who have proven In
practice that they can carry
through the Open Letter in mass
work, that they can build the Party
in the midst of this mass work, that
they can make the Party the leader
Of the masses, that they will be

tate our own movement to combat
the deyiations in this respect which
had been developing in our own work
in many fields.
We must emphasize this lesson at
this meeting Of the Central Commit
tee, at the same time that we bring
forward sharper than ever before the
necessity of working within the A.
F. of L. in all those industries in
which masses Of workers are re-
cruited into the reformist unions.

Now we must review the work Of
our Party in its main aspects of car
rying out the Open Letter since the
Extraordinary Party Conference. We
state in the draft resolution, which
we present to you that since the Ex-
traordinary Party Conference the
Party has made certain beginnings in
carrying out the Open Letter. We
point out the increased and more eff
fective participation in strikes, espe-
cially in the basic industries, and the
beginnings made in the building Of
mass trade unions. Second, some i'm

without building the Party. If we
do not build the Party as the basic
part of organizing and leading the
mass struggles, we will inevitably
TO into the swamp of opportunism.
The Party is the heart Of all OF
our work. We are the Party Of the
revolutionary way out Of the crisis,
we say, the Party of the Proletarian
Dictatorship, the Party that is
going to lead the workers in AM
erica to the establishment of So
ciaIism in this country. But with
this program we go into the mass
struggles and say we are too busy
leading strikes to build the Party.

this Is not an organizational ques-
ton. This is a political question
Of the first magnitude. And here

Party recruiting through the frs
half of this year is running not more
than so per cent of what it was in
1882. Some of the outlying districts
have improved in recruiting this
year, but when we take the entire
Party for the first nine months of
1888, we find recruitment of 1900,
as compared with the same period
last year of almost $4,000 - just
under $4,000. The average recruiting
per month for the first six months Of
this year was 1874. Last year, the
average was 1895. We are not re-
cruiting as much as we were last year
when in the mass movement we were
