Dodd, new American am- bassador to Germany, is Roosevelt’s first and only answer to the im- mense American protest against Hitler’s blocdy regime. Carrying further the president’s expression of sympathy for the Nazi regime, Dodd said, “Each gov- ernment must seek the interests of its own people . . . the government of the United States recognizes the interdependence of economic and social groups, and is exceedingly desirous of lending and accepting assistance in international affairs.” Greek Police Kill Miner, | Inwre 27 Red Unions Gain, Mass Resistance Grows ATHENS, Greece——Police shot one miner to death, wounded twenty- seven others, seven probably fatally, in an attempt to halt 300 strikers with their wives and children enter- ing the town of Aliveri to demonstrate for five months’ back pay before the offices of the Agios Lukas Coal Mine.

Trade Union Conference on the Daily Worker will be held Friday, September 1, at 7:30 Workers Center, 50 E. 13th Street (Second floor) JACK STACHEL Acting Secretary of the T.U.U.L. CLARENCE HATHAWAY Editor in Chief of the Daily Worker will speak on “The Role of the Trade Unions in Building and Improving the Daily Worker”, not meeting mee should be nted by their officers Let the Party Know How the Open Letter Decisions Ar e Carried Out iw Daily Worker Must Become Medium for Re- porting the Successes, Obstacles, Experiences in Carrying Into Action the Turn to Masses By E. EDWARDS E Extraordinary National Conference of the Party decided that every nucleus, every fraction, every leading body of the Party must thoroughly discuss the Open Letter, and in such a way as the Open Letter directs, “The discussion of this letter must not take place merely in a general way. Every nucleus, every organization, every Party fraction MUST LINK THIS DISCUSSION up with CONCRETE TASKS, working out ways and means how to bring about immediately a real turn in the entire work of each individual organization, for the carrying out of this turn.” ‘ Already six weeks have passed since the adoption of the | Open Letter in the Extraordinary Party Conference, and the Party should already be able to make a review of the discus- sions, and of how the decisions of the Open Letter are car- ried out. If 20,000 members of the Party, if the nuclei and the lead- ing bodies, in the midst of the rapidly increasing wave of struggles, have in a concrete way discussed the Open Letter, the Party already has a tremendous amount of experience. But these experiences, weaknesses and successes are not yet the general property of the Party—not even partly in the dis- tricts. And our press, especially the “Daily Worker,” has not yet been an organizer in helping to carry through the Open Letter. The leading bodies have not yet sufficiently used the “Daily Worker” and our language press as an instrument for carrying through the Open Letter. - ae How, for instance, is it possible that the concentration fac- tories of the Cleveland district are especially the weakest points in our work there? How is it possible that the work in the steel concentration point in Pittsburgh is the weakest point in our work there, notwithstanding the good progress that the Pittsburgh district is making? How does it happen that the work in the steel industry in Chicago is still rela- tively the weakest point? And how does it happen that the work among the auto workers in Detroit does not make the progress that the conditions permit? * * * RTHER, how does it happen that one, of the concentration tasks—the mobilization of the units, of the sections, of the workers, for cooperation with the “Daily Worker,” for build- ing the circulation of the “Daily Worker”’—is not taken up jin the District Bureaus with the seriousness that the Open Letter demands? The building of the Party from among the workers who Have shown their activity in the numerous struggles, recruit- ing into the Party from the most important sections of the workers, goes ahead very slowly and the districts make no serious efforts to recruit, nor have they developed a systematic policy in this direction. Let us take Pittsburgh as an example. The Pittsburgh District, despite its very good success in organizing steel workers into the Steel and Metal Workers Union, has not made any headway in recruiting the best steel workers into the Party. Neither in the Cleveland District nor in the sections can we find employed workers of the decisive industries in the leading bodies of the Party. Why Are Concentration Points in Basic Indus- tries the Weakest Part of Party Work? Use “Daily” as Forum to Discuss Problems In the Party we have had very often the following expe- rience: we become enthusiastic very easily as we have been very enthusiastic about the Open Letter. But under the pres- sure of the daily tasks we as a very quickly the tasks which we have set ourselves. The same danger faces us now in connection with carrying out the Open Letter. * * ¥ c is the duty of all leading bodies to report systematically in |£ our paper on the carrying through of the Open Letter, the successes, the obstacles, the experience in struggle, etc. The nucleys, the fraction, the members must use our “Daily Work. er” more than is the case now as.a weapon in the carrying through of the’Open Letter. ‘For instance, Section 11 in Cleveland complains about in- sufficient help from the District Bureau in their work. We asked the comrades of the Bureau of Section 11, “Why don’t you use the ‘Daily Worker’ more? If the leading bodies don’t give you help, use the Ddaily Worker’ as a weapon to also cor- must understand more than ever how to use this weapon in’ order to really carry through the turn. We should not forget what the ‘Open Letter says to us: “The leading organs of the Party are responsible to the membership, the membership is responsible to the leading bodies, and the Party is responsible to the American working class and the international working rect the weaknesses of the leading bodies of the Party.” “eo? The Open Letter is a weapon in our daily struggle. We~}
