The duty of steadily increasing the political consciousness
of the broad masses of the workers derives from the actual character
of the PeoPleis democratic regime. In contrast to all the societies
opposed to it, in which the laws of social development work in a
disorganized way, under the conditions of the Soviet and the People's
democratic regime the workers, under the guidance of the Communist
party, consciously build up their own lives and a bright future for
the young generations. Socialist consciousness accelerates the

POLITICAL AGITATION (pp 21-36 -- Feb)
The Bulgarian Communist Party, the Party of Georgi Dimitrov,
is a directing and guiding force in the People's democratic state
of Bulgaria. Its mission is to mobilize and direct the efforts of
all the working people in the struggle to build Socialism, the
to fulfill the state plans for the economic and cultural
struggle
development of the people's Republic of Bulgaria.
The tempos at which the country moves forward along the
road to Socialism depend to a very large extent on the activeness
and political awareness of the broad masses of the workers. Back
in 1920 the great Lenin said; "The more thoroughgoing the trans-
formation which we want to accomplish, the more we must arouse
in and conscientious attention towards it and see that new
interest

correctness, the Party organizations mobilize the workers for a
determined struggle for successful accomplishment of the tasks
connected with the building of Socialism.
The great successes that have been achieved since 9
September 1914. in the Socialist transformation of Bulgaria and
especially in the field of agriculture are due to the fact that
the Bulgarian Communist Party (BOP), following the wise in-
structions of Comrade Georgi Dimitrov and guided by Comrade
Vulko Chervenkov, has been, and is now, devoting a great amount
of attention to the Socialist indoctrination of the workers,
convincing them painstakingly of the correctness of the Party's
policy and mobilizing them to work and struggle conscientiously
for its implementation.
The agitation activity carried on by the Party and Father
land Front organizations plays an enormous part in increasing
the Socialist consciousness of the country's workers and in
strengthening the ties bertwee n the Party and the masses. Back
in 1906 Comrade Stalin pointed out that tone of the principal
weapons of the Party everywhere at all times is agitation."
(I. V. Stalin, Collected Works, volume 1, page 27).)
The BCP always has given and is now giving special attenM
tion to political agitation. _
The Fifth Party Congress and then the June Plenum of the
Central Committee of the. Bulgarian Communist Party (CC of the
BCP) made it obligatory for the Party organizations to strengthen
their agitation staffs and to see that there was constant ex

planatory work on a more extensive scale with regard to the
international and internal situation of Bulgaria, the Party and
Government resolutions and decrees, the yearly economic plan,
and the most important local measures.
The June Plenum of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian
Communist Party branded as utterly incorrect and unMBolshevist the
idea that leadership means administration and emphatically stressed
the necessity of adopting the method of persuasion as the principal
way of exerting the leadership of the Party over the workers. The
Third Party Conference pointed out the necessity of stepping up
political agitation ?n the villages because of the accelerated
tempo of the Socialist transformation of agriculture. In his re-
port before the Third Party Conference, Comrade V. Chervenkov
summed up the great experience that had been gained in the field
of political agitation and pointed out its principal defects.
liThe main weakness of Party agitation,' said Comrade
Chervenkov, "lies in the fact that it is not as yet linked up
closely enough with the actual problems of building Socialism in
Bulgaria, with the fulfillment of the production plans, with the
decrees of the Council of Ministers and the Central Committee of
the Bulgarian Communist Party on these questions, with an always
correct and convincing explanation of these problems, and with the
mobilization of the population for their implementation."
When they went about implementing the resolutions of the
Fifth Party Congress, the June Plenum, and the Third Party Con-
ference, the Party organizations achieved considerable successes
in their mass agitation work among the workers. An enormous

agitation staff was organized in the Party and the Fatherland
Front, Great successes were achieved in the work of over
coming the principal weakness pointed out in Comrade V. Chervenkov's
report to the Third Party Conference, After the Third Party Con-'
Terence the mass agitation work of the Party organizations, es-'
peciaily those in villages, was more closely tied in with the
concrete and militant problems of the building of Socialism,
to wit, the fulfillment of the plan for compulsory grain de-
liveries and for the autumn sowing, the mass enrollment of the
poor and the middle peasants in farm workers' cooperatives in
the principal grain-producing rayons of Bulgaria, the struggle
for high agricultural yields and high productivity in stoclc-
raising, and the full subscription of the state loan for the
development of the national economy.
Linking up political agitation with the concrete prob?
lems posed by the building of Socialism improves its hard-
hitting and effective nature of the former. The big successes
achieved in 1950 in the mass enrollment of the poor and the
middle class peasants in farm workers' cooperatives, the suc-
cessfu]. fulfillment of the national economic plan for 1950,
and the oversubscription in an exceptionally short time of
the state loan are due to a large extent to the extensive mass
agitation work carried on by the primary Party organizations.

to unite all the farmers, except the kulaks, in the farm work

In order to mobilize the efforts of the masses of the

towards work on these farms. political agitation in the villages
must contribute to the Socialist transformation of agriculture
by patiently convincing the poor and the middle peasants of the
advantages of the farm workers' cooperatives.
The effectiveness of agitation depends to a large extent
on how far it is directed against the defects in the work,
against slowdowns and perfunctory performance of work, and against
the display of an unsocialist attitude towards labor and towards
state and cooperative property; it depends on the degree to which
this agitation is directed towards unmasking the anti national
activity and agitation of the kulaks in the villages and the
capitalist remnants in the cities. To agitate, says Comrade
Stalin, means not merely to convince but also to unmask.
This statement of Comrade Stalin's is of special sig.+
nificance for Bulgaria at present, for the remnants of capital
ism in the cities have not been liquidated yet, and the re-
sistance of the kulaks in the villages to the measures of the
Party and the Government has not as yet been crushed, and they
are carrying on a rabid agitation against the People's govern-
ment. It is to be regretted that many agitators, and especially
those in the villages, not only forget this fact but often in
carrying out economic campaigns themselves fall victims to kulak
agitation. It is clear that such agitators cannot mobilize the
workers for a struggle to fulfill the economic plans, a. struggle
to overcome difficulties. Their agitation work cannot be effective
and successful, and such agitators cannot be permitted to ?111

It :1,s the agitators' duty to point out to the workers the
enormous successes that the country is achieving in the struggle
to build Socialism, Every new plant, every new achievement in
the field of agriculture strengthens the faith of the people in
the correctness of the Party's policy and increases their readi?
ness to make sacrifices and work hard in the name of that policy.
The agitators must demonstrate the immeasurable advantages of the
Soviet state and the people's democracies over the capitalist
states; they must explain to the workers the enormous economic
and political achievements of the USSR, of Bulgaria, and of the
people's democracies and the constant decline of the economy
and culture of the capitalist countries; they must increase the
patriotism of the workers and their justifiable pride that they
live and work in Peoples democratic Bulgaria, and augment their

in their treatment of practical problems. The agitators in the
villages are especially guilty of this, for when they explain the
decrees of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party
and the Council of :Ministers on the spring and the autumn sowing
campaigns and the compulsory state deliveries, they do not dwell
on the interests of the state as a whole and they do not bring
out the connection between the sowing campaigns and the compulsory
state deliveries on the one hand and the fulfillment of the 191
plan and the struggle to build Socialism on the other. All this
greatly lowers the ideological level and the effectiveness of
political agitation. The principal weakness in political agitation

prises and farm workers' cooperatives, and especially at machine?
tractor stations and state farms is unsatisfactory and that the
Party organizations depend mainly on the.administra.tive methods
of leadership. At Sofia, Stalin, Plovdiv, etc., mass agitation
work is carried on mainly by city sections, and at many enterM
prises, machine tractor stations, and state farms certain foils
of agitation such as the group talks and the group readings of
newspapers have not been taken up. Most of the agitation groups
at farm workers' cooperatives have not been reorganized but con
tinue to exist and work as agitation groups set up on a terri-
torial basis. At many farm workers' cooperatives in Vratsa,
Stalin, and other okrugs this reorganization is only a formal
one and exists only on paper. ? The majority of agitators do not

The main responsibility for these defects in political agi?
tation falls on the Party's okrug, okoliya, and municipal come"
mittses, which as a rule undez9 stimate the importance of political
agitation in the accomplishment of the everyday tasks for the
successful fulfillment of the plan and do not appreciate the great
importance of political agitation in increasing the Socialist
consciousness of the workers in the cities and villages. What
other explanation is there than underestimation of the role of
political agitation for the fact that when the new endeavors
were being organized in agriculture and industry, that is, when
specific pledges were being given to Comrade Vulko Chervenkov,
there was no extensive explanatory' work in some of the okoliyas
of the Stalin Okrug (Provadiya and Stalin city) and in Turnovo
Okoliya (until the okrug Party committee intervened) to make the
workers realize that the pledges were for their benefit? The
okoliya and municipal Party committees work predominantly with
of the farm workers' cooperatives, and the brigade leaders and
the secretaries of the primary Party organizations, the chairmen
do not take the necessary measures to instill in the workers
themselves the desire to work and struggle conscientiously for
the fulfillment of the pledges.
The Khaskovo Okoliya committee of the Party did
excellent work in this respect by carrying on extensive mass
agitation work among the farm workers1 cooperatives' members
and individual farmers in connection with collection of the
pledges to Comrade Vulko Chervenkov to increase cotton yields.

The experience of the Sofia Municipal Party organization
shows very clearly the force and the effectiveness of political
agitation. In 1950 eight of the largest enterprises in the caps
tal were lagging behind in the fulfillment of the plan, including
the "9 September" Shoe Plant, the Machine Plant, the "Georgi
Dimitrov" Textile Factory, ttTekstilna slava" (Textile Glory),
'~Almust~, tlTigurft, etc. The administrators of these enterprises
declared that it was impossible to fulfill the plan. But after
strong measures were taken by the municipal and the rayon Party
committees to improve the Party's political work and increase
the effectiveness of agitation, the impossible became possible.
During the last months of 1950 these enterprises overfulfilled
their monthly plans.
Daily improvement of the political agitation work of the
Party organizations at enterprises, construction projects, farm
workerst cooperatives, machine tractor stations, and state farms,
and its adaptation to specific tasks are decisive factors in the
successful fulfillment of the pledge given by the workers to
Comrade Vulko Chervenkov for the fulfillment and overfulfillment
of the 1951 economic plan and for the constant growth of the
socialist consciousness of the workers.
The force and the effectiveness of political agitation
depend to a large degree on the initiative shown by the bureaus
of the primary Party organizations and on their ability to provide
proper leadership for the mass agitation work axong the workers,
so that each enterprise, farm workers= cooperative, and each
village will be in a position to solve the specific problems

confronting it. An excellent example of this ?s the work off' the

questions related to the fulfillment of the plantis plan and sees
that the agitators are receiving proper instruction on them o
that they can give talks to groups or individuals. For in-
stance Shop No S was unable to fulfill the plan after 1 January
1951. The agitators and the Party secretary at the shop looked
for the causes for the nonfulfillment of the plan. The Party
bureau asked the shop foreman to instruct the agitators. The
latter talked about the problem of labor discipline in the shop,
the necessity of eliminating unwarranted absences during January,
and the need for a strict regime of economy. After group and
individual talks with the workers' the shop plan began to be
fulfilled. In order to explain the state plan for the develop
merit of the national economy during 191 and the individual
plan for the plant the agitators have been making talks in
shops and brigades, and at these meetings the workers have made
many valuable suggestions which will aid the fulfillment of the
plant plan. The Party bureau has adopted the practice of send-

so that they can give talks on the spot before groups of workers
or individuals.
It is to be regretted that there are few examples of
similar activity. Most of the Party organizations at the
enterprises and in the villages do not show enough initiative,
and their mass agitation work is concentrated chiefly around

special days of the year and the general campaigns and does not
cover the specific problems connected with the fulfillment of the
monthly plan. The main reason for this is that the okrug, okoliya,
municipal, and rayon Party committees and also the bureaus of the
primary Party organizations still do not feel enough responsibility
for the fulfillment of the economic plans, they do not take mean
sures from the start for extensive mass political work in order
to assure the fulfillment of these plans, and they still rely
on and apply the condemned method of administering and
commanding.
It is impossible to mobilize the city and village workers
for enthusiastic and devoted efforts to fulfill and overfulfill
the plan for 191 successfully unless these defects are elimi~
hated and unless the Party organizations conduct extensive mass
agitation work closely connected with the specific problems of
the plan of each enterprise, farm workers' cooperative, machine..
tractor station, state farm, or village. "The essence of our
program, ti says Comrade Stalin, "is the human beings, we and you,
our will to work, our readiness to work with new methods, and
our resolve to fulfill the plan."
The political agitation conducted by the Party organizations
must satisfy the increased and many-sided interests of the workers
in international events and in the constantly intensifying fight
of the nations for a lasting peace.

Mass agitation work among the people is an integral part

workers.

The Party organizations are duty -bound to give the age...

agitators by the okoliya, municipal, and rayon Party committees

leaders of the agitation groups, that is, the secretaries of the
primary Party organizations, on current political events and

It is the duty of the okrug, okol iya, and municipal Party
committees to improve their direction of political agitation 'con-
ctantly and to extend greater assistance to the army of agitators,
whose numbers run high into the thola.sands, so that they can cope
with their honorable task, the Socialist education of the workers.
Systematic leadership by the Party committees for mass
agitation work among the workers raises the ideological level
of agitation, increases its effectiveness, and assures broader
field of action for the political agitation work of the Party
among all the strata of the population.

central and the okrug
the question of the place and the importance of lecture propa-
ganda. This year was the first time that the problem of the proper
organization of lecture propaganda throughout the country was put
so clearly, cogently, and comprehensively.
Lecture propaganda has met with considerable success during
Party school year. Lecture groups were set up at all

ture series to help the propagandists and those who were studying

Sofia, Kolaxovgrad, Khaskovo, and Stalin okrug Party committees
formed lecture groups at the very beginning of the party school
year' but at the end of 1954 those were leading an anemic sort
of existence and were giving only a few lectures at irregular
intervals.
The okrug party committees have paid very little attention
to the make-up of the lecture groups. In many places the two

The result was instead of the nine lectures planned for the first
quarter only one was actually given.

retical content. Each lecture must be full of profound meaning
must be up to the Party level, and must be delivered with Bolshevist
passion. Yet there are lecturers who do not prepare themselves
adequately, who underestimate the importance of lecture propaganda,
and who deliver unsatisfactory lectures, Comrade Garvanov at
Stara Zagora delivers his lectures in very high."sounding language
which goes over the heads of his listeners. Yordan Danchev at
Lukovit delivered a long and boring lecture which followed no plan
and contained errors. K. Kovachev delivered a dry, empty, and long
lecture at Sandanski. When he was asked: "What is a kuulak?tt he
simply replied, "The biggest landowner in the village.10 Many more
examples of badly delivered lectures can be cited. The okrug lec.
ture groups do not put forth adequate efforts to improve the quality
of the lecture propaganda.
Frequently the okrug and okoliya committees arbitrarily post-
pone the lectures prescribed by the plan. The "Propaganda and
Agitation" section of the Turnovo Okrug Party committee postponed
the scheduled lectures on "Dialectical Materialism' the Marxist-
Leninist Party View of the World" and "Historical Materialism as
the Science of the Laws of Social Development" in Gabrovo, Turnovo,

akaliya Party committees are not taking the necessary steps to
put an immediate end to it.
The success of th ecture propaganda depends above all
on proper Party guidance. The okrug party committees must give
~'
the lecturers regufar assistance in increasing theiD skill and
,
must k eep a careful check on the quality of lecture propaganda.
In order to provide effective assistance for the lec?
turers in preparing themselves, conferences and seminars must
be conducted with them so that their lectures and work can be
subjected to discussion. It is to be regretted that same okrug
Party committees still do not grasp the significance of this
important task. The "Propaganda and Agitation" sections of the
party committees do not organize discussion of all lectures by
the lecture group sections. In order to assure better quality

In his report to the Third Party Conference, Comrade Vulko
Chervenkov assigned to the Party executive committees and organi?
nations the task of "giving wide publicity to the experience of
the innovators and the best production workers and of working with
might and main for the application in production of the things they
have learned, including especially multi-loom and multi..spincfle
operation in the textile factories, the multi.'drilling system and
work on a broad front in the mines, high speed cutting of metals
in the machine?bui1ding industry, etc.It (Vulko Chervenkov, "On
the Organizational and Mass Political Work of the Bulgarian Com-
munist Party", page 1~O).
In order to achieve this important objective the okoliya
and municipal Party committees in Gabrovo held a special session
in January 1951 to discuss measures to be taken for the further
strengthening and expansion of multi.machine operation, of shock
work, and of rationalization among the workers in the enterprises.
After that their example was followed at almost all enterprises.
The Party organization at the "G. Genov't factory discussed measures
for shifting the shock workers from the two to four-loom operation
and from four to six-loom operation. A$ a result of these measures
and of the explanatory work and the personal example of the commu?
nists in the enterprise, a "Stalintl Brigade has been formed for
multi.-machine operation, with all the m~nbers operating four or
six looms each. Similar measures have also been taken at the

of the defects in the work of the Party bureaus and committees
s.nd the measures which ti~.ll rake the Party po~.~.tical and orM
anizatianal work to a higher level From tha.s a.t follows that
g
in planning the work far each quarter and each month the bureaus
of the okrug and okoliya Party corr~ittees and the primary or?
ganizatians must be guided by the dig^ectives and tkle instruatians
of the Gentraa, Committee of the Bulgarian ~ammlLriist Party and the
decisions captained in the resolutions of the Party reporting and
election meetings and conferences. phis means that th.e decisions
of the reporting anal election meetings and conferences are not
to be perused merely occasionel].y. `Whey must serve as a guide
in the daily work of the Party cotnr~n~,ttees ar~d the bureaus of
the prim2.ry Party arganizationso Also! the decision must be
rendered mare specific and detailed since they are given in a
vex~r concise and genera. form in the resolutions.
Reg~~l~~r supervision of the implementation of the dec~.sions
must be o~^ganized so as to make cure that they are ce.rr~.Ed out.
Successful rarrying out of the decis~ians of the Party reporting
and election meetings and conferences is impossible without a
regular check?up of the imp~.ementatian, and this happens to be
one of the greatest weaknesses in the Party~s work A report
on the manner in which the decisions of.the Party report~.ng and
~,
election meetings and conferences are carried out must be made
not only by the .bureaus of the okrug and okoliya Party committees
but also by their plenums. The okrug and akoliya Party committees
must also make mare frequent check-ups. on the spot through their
members and instruc~ars to see. ,how the prim~.ry Party organ~zatioris
are carrying out the decisions of the` reporting and election meetings

xt is to be regretted that a number of Party oammittees d~.d not
use ~~he seminars as the pra.ncipal way of extending assistance to
the propagandists and that the classes were not bald ragulaxly at ,
a number of plaaes i,n Plovdiv, Dimitrovo, Helen, and oth?r akoliyas~
Not infrequ?ntly the leotures given in these seminars were of low
quality, the problems to b e taken up at the next classes in the
study circles and schools w?re not thoroughly discussed and very
little attention was devoted to classroom m?~thod~ As a result
the quality of many propagandists' work does not satisfy the inw
creased demands of the li stenars ~ Ths inadequate grounding in
theory of many propagandists and their lack of methodological
habits and propagandist experience have permitted Formalism and
alien methods to make their way into Party prapagande.~ Instead
of lively discussions and deliberations on the subjects under
study the dominant featur?s at many study circles, political
schools and general training schools are the question-and-answer
method and dry and boring classes, which hamper the thorough
mastering of the Marxist-Leninist theory by the listeners.
Many propagandists sti11 cannot tie theory with practice,
with the most important objectives of the Party, and oa.nnot show
their listeners clearly the scientific basis of Party policy and
inspire them with the creative enthusiasm of fiery fighters for
~'ocialisrn.

collected more than 5~0f)0 kilograms of manure, etc, On the
initzative of the Communists all the brigades at the coopera-
tive conducted a crop cultivation campaign and engaged in a
mass fight aga~.nst weeds.
Consri~us of the fact that the strength of the Party
lies not only in its numerical size but also in its solid ties
with the non-Party masses of the workers and in i.ts skill in
making the masses more active and winning 'their support, the
Party organization pays great attention to the work with the
non~Party members of the cooperative, seeks their advice
s,ss.i.sts them in their work, and helps get the most conscientious
and industrious sanong them promoted to responsible administrative
posi.~tions in the farm wo.rkers~ cooperative4 `.Che result is the~t
non-Party coopera~~ive members who are honest, industrious, and
devoted to the cooperative have been appointed as leaders of
five production brigades at the farm.

Realizing the great importance of the resolut:~ons of the
municipal Party reporting and election conference and of the re-
porting and election meetings of the pra.mary Warty organizations
the bureau of the Plovdiv mun~.cipal Party committees discussed on
l~ June 1951 the manner in w}rich these reso],ut3,ons are being im-
plemented by the Party o.rgani~,ations. The bureau pa~.nted out
that the greater part of the Party arganizations in the city are
actually observing the resalutiaris of the municipal Party re-
porting and election conference and of their own reparting and
election meet~.ngs and that ass result their work has improved
greatly. The Party organizations at the "Vasil Kolarov'r Auta-
mobile Repair ~'lant, at the Bolt Factory at the "Madara",
t'g September", "Maritsa", "Yordanka Chankava", and other en-
terprises enter intn their work plans specific measures far in~
tensifying the fight for peace, for the fulfillment of the
pledges given to Comrade Vulko Chervenkov to fulfill the pro
ductian plans ahead of time, for increasing the revolutionary
vigilance of the workers, for improving the work in the mass
organisations, and for the accampl.shment of other tasks in-
chided ~.n the resolutions of the Party reparting and election
meetings and the municipal Party reporting and election con-
.ference. The Farty organizations at these enterprises have
heard reports on the activity of the comma.ttees for safeguarding
the peace and have adopted specific measures for its improvement.

On their in~.tiat~.vQ coua^aes have been organ~.zed at tha enterpr~.ses
to increase the ski11 of the workers, specific measures have been
proposed acad adopted for economi?~ing on basic and supplementary
materials, the mass polita.cal work has been Improved, etc. The
Party organizat~.ons have also achieved noteworthy successes in
their efforts 'to secure mass enrollment of the workers in Sorial~.st
competition. At the Bolt Factory, 'the '+Sasho Dimi,trav++, "Yordanka
Chankova'+, and a number of other enterprises mare than 9n percent
of the workers have enrolled in the competa.tions.
However, there are still some Party organizations which
~.n actual practice put too 1i~tt].e stress on the accomplishment
of important and urgent tasks assigned by the Party mun~.cipal
reporting and election conference and 'the reporting and election
meet.n~;s, The Warty organizations at the '+Edinstvo++, "Napreduk",
+'Dub", and other enterprises have not as ,yet adopted measures to
carry ou,t the resolutions for improving ~thei.r numerical and
social composition. The Party organizations at the locomotive
depot and the traffic section at the Plovdiv railroad station
have not concerned themselves even once up to now with the
problem of improving their vigilance, in spite of the fact
that the resolutions adopted at their reporting and election
meetings obligate them to do so immediately.
There are also Marty organizations whose bureaus have
simply filed the resolut;~ons away and have done noth~.ng to im~-
plemen~ them, Such a formalistic attj.tude towards the reso-

Rea~.i2ing the ds~ects and the wealtnesses in the Party~s

Committee of the Bu~,gar~.an Communist Party has decided to or?
ganixe wamen~s sections in all Party corrlmittees,
The pri~~ipa],
task of the womenss sections ~.s to assist the Party in snroll.ng
the women in the work of building Socia:La,sm in Bulgaria. The
creation of the women'a sect3.ans puts the Party camanittees
under defin~.te and specific ob~.igation to carry on and direct
the work among the women.
The First obligation in this respect is the correct and
'prompt creation of the women's sections This means that women
Party members with wide organizational experience and exper~.ence
in work among; the women should be selected for leadership of,
and membership in, these sections and that they are to be actual
assistants to the Party committees 3.n their work among the women,
Also, the work of the women's sections must be so organized as to
dispel the erroneous idea that only these sect:i.ans or any other
bodies specially set up for this purpose are to work among the
womeno The same goes for the bureaus of the primary Party ar?
gang. nations,
Work among the women is a duty of the entire Party and
of all its organizations and committees,

cisions~ F~~t the success o~ 'their work w~,1~1 depend on how they
~or anise their work, how they unite the women act~.v~,stg around
themselves, and how they assist these activists The duality
of the work done by these sections and organizations wi11 depend
to a lame extent an how they cooperate with the women's commissions
in the Fatherland Front committees, with the wcamen' s sections a.n
the Fatherland Front organizations and with the deputies of the
chiefs of the political sections at the machine-tractor stations
for worlt among the women.
,..
The special training of women personnel wi11 depend large.y~
if not exclusively' on the work of the women's sections. The
women's sections must know the women activists very well and know
what kind of work each of them is best fitted for. 'T'hey must
follow their progress closely and be prompt in proposing their
appointment to positions for which they are qualified, and they
must check regularly to see how they discharge thel,r new duties
and assist them in every' wayo
However, unless another organization is overcome, the
Party can hardly achieve its objectives ono ng the women This
is the problem of the number of women in the Party organizations,
If the Party does not have stror>:g groups of Party activists at
the .farm workers' cooperatives, the enterprises, the machine-
tractor stations, the women's sections, etc., on which it can
depend and through which it can carry on its work, then it
cannot keep in constant contact with the masses of the warren
and its work will be sporadic and occasional, coming to life
