crime before the Party and revolutionary
movement. and would only help our enemies in
their struggle to destroy the Party. The Party
must watch closely that, FIRSTLY, no fac
tional opposition is developed against the lead
ing organs of the Party, and SECONDLY, that
not single Party functionary whether ne De
in the leading organs or in the lower organlza-
TONS misuses his position to carry on factlonai
methods of work. If such manifestations ap-
pear the leading organs OF the Party and all
organizations must decisively combat and llqul-
date every such fractional attempt, not shrink
ing before the removal of incurable factionai-
lists from the Party. It is only by vigorously
preventing all forms of unprincipled factlonal
struggle and by energetically liquidating all
factional methods of work, ABOVE ALL BY
REALLY DEVELOPING COLLECTIVE
LEADERSHIP FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, will
the Party be able to make the necessary turn
to the decisive strata of the working class and
develop the proletarian mass struggle. But 1t
must be absolutely clear that positive criticism
and PRACTICAL proposals, and COMRADE-
LY, MATERIAL EXCHANGE OF POLIT-
ICAL OPINIONS, for improving the work of
the Party are a vital necessity for the Party
and that all bureaucratic tendencies to inter
fere with such criticism and proposals all bu-
reaucratic intolerance of criticism, must be de-
cisively fought.
AT the same time the Party must carry on a
systematic struggle against the bureau
cratic isolation of the apparatus from the Party
masses, against the suppression of inner Party
democracy for the development of political
life in the lower organization, particularly IN
the factory nuclei, for the DEVELOPMENT OF
thorough-geing self-crticsm, for the develop
ment of initiative in the lower organizations
and for the Improvement of it's functoning
cadres Every Party member, and especially
every Party functionary must be real organ
izer of mass struggle in his particular sphere
of work From this standpoint, the Party must
Judge the activity of it's functionaries and must
choose its leading bodies. All leading bodies,
especially those in the sections, must reorgan-
ize their work on the basis of the carrying out
of revolutionary mass work. Revolutionary
work is the task of the entire membership. The
secretaries of the leading bodies in their work
must not replace the work of the membership.
It is their task to plan and organize the work
together with the members, to give the men,
bers practical assistance in carrying out their
tasks and to check up on the carrying out OF
these tasks. AS delegates to all Party confer
ences section and district conferences and
above all to the Party congress, there must be
elected comrades who carry on active mass
work and who have distinguished themselves in
mass struggles
COMRADES: The Party has approved the esti-
v nation of the International situation given
by the XII Penum of the Comntern, stating
that we are approaching a new round OF wars
and revolutions. It is time that we should draw
from this declaration the practical conclusions
for our activity The development of mass strug-
giles depends to great extent upon the speed
with which we succeed in drawing the industrial
proletariat into the struggle and in becoming
the revolutionary mass Party of the American
working class.
