All party members today|!found in language Branches will be party members, eith- er thru their membership in a shop nucleus, or anjinternational branch. These are to be the only units of our party. thru which membership in our party is to be held: But comrades who are today mem- bers of various language sections of the party will also function in what is called special language fractions in These language fractions in addi- tion to carrying on Communist activi- ties among the members of the work- ingmen’s clubs, must also organize fractions of party members in the ex- isting fraternal and benevolent asso- ciations of their respective nationali- ties. UESTION No. 3: If the federa- tions are.to be dissolved, when is this to take place? ANSWER: As speedily as possible. But we will not declare dissolved a tinued as party organs? If so, when? ANSWER: -Yes, as soon as this can be achieved, either directly or thru our ‘party fractions in co-operative as- sociations, workingmen’s societies, or any other form of organization found necessary. The fact of the matter is that the problem of unifying and cen- tralizing’ our party press will be one of the first problems in the re-organ- ization of the party.
