Fer Clear Differentiation

] ~D0eA DAiieAOAitatiOH
Therefore, every effort must be made to bring 3
clear differentiation Of these two camps which are
trying to direct the mass movement into various cham
nelson the hand that of moderate liberal and
socal-reformjst opposition masking class collaboration
and the sbordination Of the workers to the interests
Of capital of profits and private property and on the
other hand that Of essentially revolutionary mass
struggle for immediate demands which go beyond the
limits Of the interests Of capital In this struggle for
differentiation must be taken to avoid all sectarian
narrOWness, which would only play into the hands Of
the refomists. This means first of all that the basis
Of gathering together Of the working class must be the
immediate demands with the broadcast mass appeal not
allowing the reforist leaders to split the masses by
specializing the fact that part Of the workers ac-
cep the program of the class struggle up to and in
Guiding the dictatorship Of the proleariat while another
supports the policy Of class struggle only for the
partial demands Of the workers but not yet ready
to go farther on this path.
g. In this situation the simple slogan "for a Labor
Party" which expresses such conflicting tendencies Of
itself is not sufficient be an effective banner under
which the class forces of the workers can be rallied
The Communists enter the movement for the Labor
Party only with the purpose Of helping the to
break away from the bourgeois and socal-reformist
parties and to find the path to the revolutionary class
struggle
All premature organizationaI moves should be CARE
fully avoided. The Communist Party must not now
take the initiative in the organization Of Labor Party
national scale But in the various states this prob
lem will present itself in various ways according to the
relationship of forces will be necessary to study the
situation carefully in each and the tempo of deve-
opment adjusting practical position and tactics in
accordance with these differences In those states and
localities where the conditions have matured for the
formation Of Labor Party the Party then should
itself, through people and organizations close
to the Communist Party, take the initiative in giving
organizaional form to this movement The Party should
take into consideration that the movement for Labor
Party will only then weapon for the unfold
ing of the struggle of the proleariat and facilitate
its liberation from the influence of reformis when,
from the very outset Party will play active role
and show initiative and by working theoretically in the
A F. Of L. will win important positions and will achieve
in the organization of the united front with
socialist and reformst workers It is also in this
that Party will be in position TO seriously
exercise its revolutionary influence the broad masses
participating in the movement for Labor Party and
winning them for real revolutionary policy.
Must Be Independent Force
The struggle for the political leadership of the masses
who are breaking away from the Democratic and
Republican Parties depends at all its stages the con-
growth and strengthening Of the Communist Party
independent revolutionary force for which pur-
pose it necessary to popularize the Party program
to ever broader masses. The chief to this aim
is the bold and energetic development of work for
the united front in all spheres, but above all in the
eSpeciallV affiliated the T. of
The results of the elections showed that Roosevets
influence upon the masses, while weakened and even
shaken to some extent still remains predominant The
Communist Party insuficeny utilized the oppor-
tunes politically enlghten the who dis
iluSioned in the New Deal" Bourgeois reformsts Of
the type Of Sinclair, the Progressives with LaFoette
the Farmer-Labor Party with Olson etc, able to
draw in their wake the great majority OF those who
broke with Roosevelt and the Republicans This brings
forward the necessity of improving and strengthening
the political agitation of the Party and more con-
vincingly and firmly exposing RooSeyelts policies his
bourgeois fellow travellers and opponents from the Left
While conducting an intense campaign against the ex-
IRENE right fascist and semfaseist representatives Of
finance capital the Republican Party, the American
Liberty League etc. it is necessary to show the class
knship Of Roosevets policy with the policy Of his OPP
ponents from the right explaining to the that
Roosevelt with the New Deal and N.RA policy does
not ebsrrass hinder the carrying out of the policy
of finance capital of Wall Street but the contrary,
resortng to more sful methods, rather makes easier
the carrying cut of this policy Only the class struggle
against the entire policy Of the bourgeoe defend
the interests Of the and crush the plans Of
finance capital and fascism.
In order to strengthen the work of the Party it is
necessary to further improve the Daily Worker which
has achieved number of successes The political agita-
ton in the paper and the propaganda of the tactics
and principles of the Party must be improved strength
enng by every the struggle against social-re-
forms At the present stage of development the Party
and the paper must most urgently be given more of a
character, both to contents and form as to
make it reach hundreds of thousands Of readers.
The Party must further develop it's publishing ac-
vity, improving its propagandst work and greatly
creasing the issue of propaganda literature.
Work must be intensified on the training Of cadres
for the Party The system of instructors which has
justified itself in practice an effective form of closer
