The report op the Nicaraguan sit- | uation was given by W. W. Weinstone, distriet organizer, who pointed out that the Nicaraguan situation is al-| lied with imperialist aggressions in | Latin-America and is part of the world imperialist activities in China and against the Soviet Union. Support Sandino. In his report Weinstone emphasized that it is not only necessary to con- duct agitation and demonstrations against. imperialist activities but above all to win support for, Géneral Sandino’s fight for Nicaraguan lib- eration. The activities of the Party must be increased in all fields of work, by greater discipline and centralization of units and consolidation and stabil- ization of activities, continued Wein- stone. Of great necessity, he said, are the broadening out of women’s work to draw in new circles of women in---the anti-war activities, the strengthening of Negro, youth and defense work, bringing in particularly the. left wing, the broadening out of the “Party’s.trade union ‘work and the’drawing in of militant workers in the struggle against the war and the reactionary. position of the labor of- | ficialdom, Aid Anti-Imperialists. Aid must be given to building iat an All-American Anti-Imperialist League section in the United States and_to the tying up of the war situa- tion with the brutalities and violence against the working class in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Ohio. “It is also necessary that the slogans of the Par- | ty distinguish between the Party’s | position on war and that of the lib- erals, socialists and so-called progres- Sives, whose main line is that of pa- ¢ifism. Miller Reports. Bert Miller, organization secre- tary, in his report emphasized the | ged of more systematic activity on e part of all members to draw in | new members, persistently to look after sympathizers and to~abandon the policy of aloofness and exclusive- ness which is too often the tendency of Party members. The necessity of building shop nuclei, particularly in war industries | and establishing shop papers also was emphasized by Miller. He pointed out that now is the most favorable time for increasing the membership and for the activity of the- Party. ; French Communists. :The meeting was attended by two French seamen, Party, which is well known in the in- ternational Communist movement for | its valiant fight against militarism and imperialism, its struggle in sup- port of Morrocca against French im- perialism and its activities against the French imperialists in the Ruhr. The meeting very warmly greeted | the representatives of the Fren¢h sec- tion of the Communist International. “The reports were followed by a lively discussion by members from | the floor, who gave examples of good work in the units and who endorsed the idea that the working class can depend only upon the Party for lead- ership in acqmilitant struggle ‘against imperialist war.

Minor said that on the eve of its fifth year of service to the American working class, it will become an even more effective weapon for them than in the past. “The DAILY WORKER can only; live and thrive,” he said, . “because it is the living voice of the Workers (Communist) Party, section of the Communist International.” Weinstone said, “the New York workers have learned the value of a Communist daily in the English lan- guage.” He cited specific battles in which The DAILY WORKER had joined in the workers’ day-to-day fights. That the DAILY WORKER has be- come the rallying point for all mili- tants in the class struggle was de- clared by Poyntz. “In the, coming sharp struggles of the American workers against un- employment and wage cuts and for the defense of the trade union move- ment,” she said, “The DAILY WORK- ER must prove’ of great value.” Page Seven 5- Vix Term Is Given in Fascist Frame-up Mario Giletti, 21, convicted Dec. 4 of assault in a fascist frame-up, has been sentenced to a term of one year Albert Court.
