paregrsph 14 of the resolution of the Second, Congress
of the Camomist luterrnational "on the role of the Can-
=miss Party is the proletarian revolution." written, as
is known, by twin as early as 19SO, reads as followst
Win the oeuantries wI*re the bourgeoisie or seeunter-
revolutionary social -t4moeraey are still In powetr,
the mist party should learn to s etneot its
lesal and illegal *ark systematically pleeIng the
work wider the actual control at the illegal
arty.
The third condition of osoeptenoe into the Co io%
international approved by the same eeond c o of the
Cease.-quisl; Internatione1, also ead1 ted by C'our* Lenin,
states that all acaeea unist parties
"shall be ahsrged with the duty of creating
a parallel ille,dal organisation *ieh
Mecc i sire acoont aright help the party to "w
toir. its duty to the revolution."
In all countries where the oe ltnists are unable,
as a res+ai t of nili Lary law or extraordinary laws, to
conduct their entire work is a le al manner, it is
absoluteely imperative to comb ins legal with Illegal astho doe .
'inahly, the fourth oonditiof for aeeeptanee into the
Ceeetennist International establishes for all communist
parties
? the necessity of persistent systala lie propaganda
*Mae the tree~i . 1 localities where agitation
is prohibited by extraordinary laws, it should be
conducted in an Illegal water. i refusal to
erf?ru snob work is equlve le at to betraying
Lone '.1 revolutionary duty and is inonpetible
with onabership into the " 1rd Intonational."
The itaportaut instructions of the Sesond Congress,
issemed in 19*0, hale bad very little effect up to the

section of the party committees. Subseeiueently the
regrouping of ',:,arty forces should be conducted in such
a manner as to group ?'arty active workers who are kno soya
to the police. in the existing legal and semi-legal pass
organizations. In general, the whole principal bulk of
,'arty aetiv1s is should be transferred at the present time
to direct work in the mass organizations (both those
which are under the Influence of the communist parties
and those which are in the hands of the opponents of the
revolutionary struggle of the proletariat). This is
necessary first of all because this in precisely the
spot where the most cruel battle of the iediat, future,
waged by the ruling class*&, should be expeected. That is

date. Now thin question has been put bluntly: strong
groups in the mass organizations are to be created within
the shortest time. The party losdorshi{ organs of the
central committee must above all devotee the most earnest
attention to that field of party or6-:anisation.
-'arty management must Itself be reduced in
number and must be reorganized. In the beginning of this
parties of 'nf~land and the united States to abolish the
sections in the -,arty committees. At that time this
instruction was directed against the over-extension of
the ?arty management in the communist parties of these
countries. At the present time it would seam advisable
to extend this Instruction of the "o unist International
to a number of other countries also, primarily to countries
such, as 4eermfany and aeohoslovakia.. "arty committeeee, in
the oapaai ty of collective elected organs of party leader-
ship remain during the intervals between congresses and
oo>tfeereenees. I t is necessary to think of reducing the
number of members on the party oa mittoes in order to
make the latter less cumbersome and more adapted to rapid
assembly under conditions of serious pollee repression.
t therwisee the party aomittees will not actually perform
any work, will be replaced by a bureau or even a secretary,
whereas now, just when the parties are confronted with
serious trials, collective labor by the organs of party
leadership is partioul; rly Irport: nt and necessary. The
collective work within the party committees should o hand
in hand with the jos t precise division of labor and with
strict personal responsibility of every member of the
party committee for the section of party work which has
been entrusted to hire. ',or our own part, we would suggest
