Draft Report For
Reorganization OF
Soviet Party Work
(COatis,.ed from Page u


present period-the period of tho
Second Five-Year Plan"
The report outlines the following
line for Soviet industrial and Party
/, activity to improve the methods Of
work OF all the organs Of the prole-
tartan dictatorship:
Changing from abstract to con-
crete leadership, from general resO-
lutiOnS to operative decisions based
on the ctuiy and knowledge Of
technical details. on living contact
with the lower links in production
and management, on the personal,
individual responsibility of direc-
tors and officials for the work en-
trusted TO them and their personal,
systematic and careful check-up on
the carrying out of these new tasks.
There also must be still further de-
) velopment Of sen-criticism, as well
as activization Of the Party member
ship and Of the working masses and
the masses on the collective farms
in their organizations.
The report demands the replace
ment, in the work of the Party, OF
an apparatus based on functions by
one closely connected with and paral-
Icing industrial organization, one
more elastic, more capable OF
strengthening the Party's influence
on production.
Party Departments
The leading organs of the Party
are to have the following typical de-
partments: First agriculture; second
industrial; third, transportation
fourth, planning and trade; fifth
political and administrative; sixth
, leading Party organs; seventh, Gull
. ture and feminist propaganda.
The Party leadership is to be
brought nearer the concrete fields OF
Soviet and industrial work. This en-
sures a better division Of forces, the
quicker carrying out of Party direc-
tiyes, an improvement in concrete
leadership, and an increase in per-
sonal responsibility.
