SUPPLEMENT TO
Coo An wi a i?c,,, -1 7 fine t . Today more than ever before, Cormunist
Party militants must heed the admonition to seek out and cooperate with
ele?-:ents of the Radical Party. sectarian attitudes must be avoided by Party
members, who should make a careful distinction between the rank-and-file of
the Radical Party and its directorate, the CLIT. Co ?-iunists must try to con-
vince Radical Party tembers thats
an Continual concessions r. de by the Radical directorate to rightist parties
are resulting in the complete isolation of the party.
'T he '"Liberals and the 'raditional Conservatives are only taking advantage
of government :;Ieakness, and will never support a Radical candidate for
president in 2952.
c d Consequently, *~,adicals must demand that their directorates insist that the
government follow a more just policy touard the working cuss, and one of
complete liberty.
Comsrunists should frequent Radical clubs in the various districts and nin;le with
Radical elements. They must aid the councilmen in the communes, form, together
with the Radicals, local Progress Committees, and give Radicals the most rep-
resentative posts. '_..'hey mast join the syndicates organized by the Radicals through
their f'yndical Department, and gradually work within the central syndical organ-
izations which they create. The quarrel with the Ibanez faction of the Socialists
should be forgotten.
2. F ,q, of stri.kea. Instructions have been sent to the cells to create con-
tintous strikes in all the industries where there are syndicates controlled by
the Communists 2lora2 and raateri:.1 assistance will be required. doss aid is
neec ed to strengthen the will to fight. This must be implemented by visits with
the strikers and with their families. Material assistance should be in the form

of money and food which should be sent to the workers' houses when the strike
begins. The most important thing is to guarantee to the workers that their
families will not go hungry and that they can count on the support of their
fellow workers. These strikes must be given a feeling of class struggle, freo
from any political. aspect they may have or that the government might try to
give to them. All cells must be alert, and especially if there is a strike at
the gas company.'
3. S, ud n r ~t . Gor unists must give their complete support to the Univer-
sity students In their street demonstrations. The Communist fractions of the
University have their task laid out, and Cofnsmunists goner-illy must aid these
comrades who at this time form the vanguard of direct straggle against the
government. Student meetings which are held in the street must be defended
by all Communists. If the police attack, Communists should go to the aid of
the students and try to keep the women from being injured. The students should
be encouraged by applause. Care must be taken that no counter-demonstrations
can be staged.
4. I h me i~aer9?#* The street cells must coor2inate their work to organize a
series of flash meetings in the various districts of the city. Not a single day
should go by without one of these meetings being held. The secretary of the cell
will receive notice a week in advance about these meetings, so that people may
be ready to meet at a determined place at the hour indicated. One of the members
of the cell which has organized the meeting will speak. The themes of the speeches
will bee the unemployment which menaces the working class with a capitalist crisis;
the inability of the government to solve the most immediate problems; the abandon-
ment of Chile and Gonzalez Videla by American imperialists after they have taken
the greatest possible advantage of the riches of Chilean mines. The speeches should
emphasize the fact that the imperialists are withdrawing their support from Chile
because the Soviet 'Union is.winning the battle for peace and the imperialists can
no longer justify having large stocks of war machinery.
A strike at the gas company was planned for the week beginning
1 May, but failed to materialize.
