They admitted, how- ever, that they did underestimate the influence of the socialists. Doriot Admits Mistakes. Doriot admitted his errors rela- |tive to the tactics of the election campaign and to the role of the | Left wing social democrats. He con- | demned the attitude of the Right Iw ingers in the Communist Party of |the Soviet Union, who, he said, had abandoned the building up of So- cialism. He also condemned the at- titude of the Right winger, Crozet, declaring that capitalist stabiliza- tion was rotten even in France, where there is at present a trade boom, | Doriot concluded his remarks by declaring that it is only possible to defeat the Right wingers if the basis for recruiting Party members is changed in order to win the most} exploited sections of the working| class. Rank and File for Party Policy. Many rank and file delegates from the factories spoke, stating that the discussion was superficial if it per- mitted everyone to agree to Party principles but to fail to carry out Party policy. Large scale factory delegations re- ported an increased production of munitions. North district stated that they had no disagreement with the Party |leadership, and recognized the ne- cessity for reorganization, saying ership was weak, ity of winning the most exploited ections of the working class and of enlivening the Party by factory | councils and public self criticism.

Its appeal follows: Speetow WORKERS: The Daily Worker, mass organ of the Communist Party of the United States, has started an intensive campaign to build this paper and carry its fighting message to the militant workers of all races and nationalities in the United States. This is the only Communist daily in the English language in ex- istence. “The Daily Worker fights for the interests of all oppressed workers, irrespective of race or nationality. “The Daily Worker is of special interest to the Negroes in the United States because it has and always will carry on a consistent and militant fight for political and social equality for the oppressed Negro masses all over the world. “It fights against lynching, peonage and the whole system of discrimination, all practices of the ruling class used for the purpose of dividing the workers and weakening their fight against the sys- tem of oppression. “The Daily Worker calls for unity of the black and white work- ers in the fight against their common enemy—the capitalist class. “The Communist Party, of which the Daily Worker is the cen- tral organ, is the American section of the Communist International, which is leading the oppressed workers of all races all over the world in their fight for the overthrow of capitalist imperialism and the establishment of a government of workers and working farmers. The Communist Party is the only party that can and does fight consistently for the rights of the oppressed Negroes and colonials and the working class of the whole world. “It calls for the organization of all workers in industrial unions in order to effectively fight the bosses and obtain conditions for themselves. “But since this is a working class paper, it depends on the sup- port of the workers in order to continue to exist. It is very evident that the bosses will not support this paper. In fact, they are mob- ilizing all their powerful machinery and forces to destroy it. “The recent arrest and imprisonment of their fighting editors is evidence enough of this. “We Negro workers particularly cannot afford to let the Daily Worker be destroyed. Therefore we call on all Negro workers to help in this campaign by subscribing to the Daily Worker. “Spread the Daily Worker among your fellow workers! “Negro workers, let us all get together in this campaign to double the number of subscribers to the Daily Worker!” NEGRO DEPARTMENT OF THE TRADE EDUCATIONAL LEAGUE—OTTO HALL, Director. i/Send Greetings TO THE Special May Day Edition DAILY WORKER Have your name and the names of your shopmates printed in the Red Honor Roll.
