The Rurn~?urian Workers' Party is the force which rui.dcs and lead. the peo- ple on the road to socialism. It performs this test, successfully b?enure it acts r~s a united collective, welded by unity oC will and action and by the unity of discipline, and because it unyieldin_nly represses any deviation from the party line or Ley lack of discipline or orgy^ization. The Harty, true to Nu.~xist-Leninte.t. principles, sees to it that the prin- ciple of collective work, the higfrest principle of party leadership, is strictly pnrtycto adoptlthesrbghtcnolicysandctormobilizcoparty orranizations,band throu:,h them mobilize the passes of workin7 n~e,1,, to reply this policy, Correct decisions, the timely correction oC error: in woe]:, correction of deviations from Harty policy, and the prompt unr~asY.in,~ of energy tools c; n only be ensured w}lcn prob- lems are discussed collecti?rcly on the br.sis of criticism r_nd self-criticism.

Collective lendership flows logically from the principle of democratic centralism iAa ch produces the correct L'lend of centralism and iron discipline, with greet latitude for initiative and activity on the Hart of Communists. The decision of the c'enum of the Central Committee concerning the im- provement of party work and the strengthening; of the party's t'es with the masses is of great importance in this connection. It has laid great stress on the need to improve collective ler:dershin end has brought to littht serious deficiencies that still persist in that field. The Central Committee her also taken a series of practical steps to bro^_den internal party clomps r cy and to activate Party members. It has directc~ ail orgunl::ations to apply the prin- ciple of collective leadership or, an rvcr_increns:ir. scene. Collective leadership is mainly achieved by collective formulaticn of decisions. The l:ai~y statutes prov_dc that or-;;;nizations and organs shall make decisions only after detailed discussion ^.t meetings of raion, city, .?+nri regiune per-t;~r burenus and comr,:ittees, or :ct r..e~~tings of _rrirary organizations.^,ome Party organs hsve nlrendy begun to imtsovc collective leadership. The bureau of the Baia A1are Rer.,.iune Committee, for instance, prop
