(3) Arrange plans to be proposed at the forthcoming National Congress based
on consideration of the proposals, criticisms, and correction of all
loyal PKI men.
(4) Send five representatives to the PKI National Congress.
c. Proposals to be Brought to the Congress
(1) Policy
(a) Support to the Ali-Wongso Cabinet must be limited.
(b) Connections with Communist parties abroad must be intensified.
(c) The policy of forming a national United'Front must be considered
an attack on the other parties and deadly blows to Dutch imperial-
.ism.
(2)
Economy
(a)
(b)
Nationalization of key industries must be extended by making that
policy a program of the people, the workers, and the peasants.
Divisi6n of feudal land holdings and land held by the imperialists
must tsk place according to the will of the people.
(3)
Labor
(a) The Sentral Organisasi Buruh Seluruh Indonesia (SOBSI), which has
much influence already, must be strengthened by PKI participation
in SOBSI.
(b) Labor unions led by reactionaries must be discarded by SOBSI and
the PKI by isolating them from the masses.
(c) To insure that the tactic of driving out the reactionaries does
not fail, the policy of a United Labor Front must be accomplished
on a mass basis and not by the leaders only.
(d) The Sentral Organisasi Buruh Republik Indonesia (SOBRI), however,
must be cracked because it is a dangerous Trotskyite element. Its
activity must therefore be carefully countered.
(4) Peasants
(a) Because the peasants form 70 percent of the population, their
power must be mobilized by the PKI through the Barisan Tani
Indonesia (BTI), Sarekat Buruh Perkebunan Republik Indonesia(5ARBUMI)
and the Sarekat Buruh Gula (SBG).
(b) The formation of peasants' organizations must be done in every
Section Committee of the PKI.

from the other groups.
(e) The trial period must be limited,
(6) Organization

euOeions in the districts, and the CCPKI must do its best to trans -

of SOBBI and the peasant union in order to get more laboring and
