membership during this CAM
Spaign which will last until Lenin
memorial day, that is, the latter
part of January. viii it be possible
to achieve this objective during this
drive? The reply is very simple
and clear Certainly it's possible.
The Communist Party of the U.
S. A. has made itself known to
thousands and tens of thousands Of
workers in this country as the fear
less leader and organizer in all the
struggles of the working class. The
Communist Party is the only party
which has fought for the organiZa-
ton of united working class front
of struggle against hunger, fasciSm
and war, against wage cuts, against
the attack on the living standards
of the working class by the Roose-
welt New Deal, for unemployment
relief, for social and unemployment
insurance and for immediate cash
relief for the pauperised toflers, the
poor farmers in the countryside, as
well as for the enactment of the
Farmers Emergency Relief Bill"
Relentless Struggle
In these numerous struggles OF
the working class and especially in
the recent strike struggles, the Com
f1iunist Party has proved that only
by a relentless struggle against cap-
italisnl can the working class inn
prove their conditions and put a
stop to the lowering of their stand
ards by the offensive of the CAPT.
talist class, headed by its main rep-
resentative, Roosevelt and his adj
ministration. Especially during the
last five years of the crisis has the
Communist Party organized the
working class for a united front
struggle for social and unemploy-
ment insurance and for immediate
cash relief to the poor farmers. The
meager relief which so far has been
given the workers and poor farm
ers is direct result of the strug-
giles led by the Communist Party
for these demands. Without the
militant activity of the Communist
Party in organizing the toiling
masses in a struggle for relief, the
working class today would be in a
still more miserable situation in the
cities, as we'll as the toilers in the
countryside 1t is in these struggles,
led by our Party, that the Party has
made itself known to scores Of
thousands of toilers in the U. s.. A.
For this reason it is safe to say
that the objective in the present
recruiting drive can surely be
achieved But in order to be able
to achieve this objective in the
shortest possible time, it is neces-
sary that every Party member will
put his shoulder to the wheel In
this drive. Each one of us Party
members must Immediately begin
to approach and get personal con-
facts with the militant workers in
the workshops, factories, mines, in
the unions and other mass organ
izations Of the workers, in order to
be able to draw them into the menu
bership of our Party. We Firms
can, and must play an important
role in this drive. We have thou
sands of Party sympathizers in our
mass organizations, workers clubs,
women's clubs, and the dozens of
cooperative societies organized
among the Finnish workers and
farmers. These sympathizers we
must Immediately and without hes
itation begin to draw into our Party
membership.
Work in shops
The Finnish Buro of the Com
munist Party urges all our district
fraction buros Of the Workers
Clubs. the women's Clubs, and the
Cooperative Societies as well as
every one of our local fraction buros
Immediately to begin seriously map
ping out concrete plans as to how
to carry on this campaign.
The district fraction buros must
Immediately make survey of all
the local fractions and set out spe-
cific quotas of new members to be
drawn in by these fractions from
our mass organizations and espe-
cially of workers in shops, factories
and mines. This drive for new
members can and should be organ
lied on the basis of Socialist COM
petition between the local fractions,
sub district and district fractions
of the Finnish workers Federation.
In this respect a detailed letter has
been mailed by the Finnish Buro
| O. P. to all the districts and local
| fractions.
At the same time as the Finnish
Buro C. P. approaches its district
and local fractions by this letter, we
urge every honest Finnish worker
and poor farmer to strengthen the
ranks of the leader of the Amer
lean working class, the Communist
Party, by joining and becoming an
active member of the Party. The
Communist Party is your Party. 1t
is calling upon you to join its ranks.
BY joining the ranks of the Com
munist Party you will not only be
strengthening the everyday strug-
giles of the workers to win their
immediate demands but thereby you
are helping the working class to
achieve its final victory in over
throwing the whole capitalist sys-
tenn which is causing degradation
and untold misery to the toiling
masses of this country.
Let us strengthen the ranks of
the Party, let us build the Commu-
mist Party of the U s. into real
mass Party of the workers and
farmers. Only this will assure the
final NictnrN of the marking class
