In fact, many of those who were opposed to the reorganization ot the party were opposea on this ground. Vain Years. Now when the party is fairly well reorganized, that is, now that the ola sanguage branches are abohshed and the seieton organization of nuclei and mternational branches has been iormed and begins to function, we can see that all those fears were not founded on facts. On the contrary,! with the reorganization of the party and the orgauization of tractions in the differenc non-party workers’ or- ganizations thut came with the re- orgamzation of the party apparatus, the work among the foreign-born workers has increased tremendously and has, furthermore, assumed a more systematic and proletarian char- acter, Fractions Do Better.

Most of} these national organizations consist of every wing of the population from| the nationalists down to the Com- munists, and it is very important for! the Communists to carry on work in them, and to be able to reach the great masses of the foreign-born with} the Communist press in their lan-! guage.
