The pamphlet points out that at present there are many widely disporned
groups fighting alone and rather uselessly for seemingly different caeees
in behalf of the massee. Upon careful study these clews will 1:e seen to
he the sane ones for aqach the Communist Party has always leught, end eir
eeich it euet new act no a Tellyine point The Party mast start
thening it cells and by forming new ones. The Political Commission pate
a special em sin on the industrial colla, since they are the ones to
carry the Communist lire to the rorking class, However, all types of ells
must become active,
5. Another of the Part-'s more pressing problere is the need for raising the
political and ideoloeical level of rogional and local directorates, vhach
could in turn create schools for educating the masses in Communist ideoloJY1
There are a few such schools now, principally in Santiago, but they mnet
be formed in every province, capital, and important center: The Politecal
Commission is deeply concerned over Party-vulnerability to imperialist,
anti-Communist propaganda, an well as to enemy agent penetration.. The masses
must be made to learn more about their adversaries and aboee such groups
as those responsible for the monthly bulletin, El Comunista Chileno, which
attacks the international orientation of the Party.
6. A revenped and revitalized propaganda progrnm is another major tack in
the Party'a newest expansion plans. Bvery group and every individual
must concentrate on propaeanda. The campaign should be adapted to local
conditions but should. fall into three general categories. First, there
should be meetings of all kinds, large and small, from clandestine discussion
groups to public meetings and dennnstrations. The effectivenese of printed
propaganda rill also be stressed. The third medium, mural propaganda, will
take advantage of the well-proved picture-plastering method,
The Party will take advantage of the cases of all victims of government
policies. They will be used to illustrate the evils graving out or the
Lac of Defense of Democracy and government anti-inflation policies, which
are called mere oretexte to coMbatting inflation, and which are actually
meant only to reduce still further the standard of living of the Chilean people,
7. Of primary importance and closely connected with all other Party activities
is the proper financing of the Partye The Political Commission states in
the confidential pamphlet that the Party must not be satisfied e'a,h lowering
expanses to the point where they can be covered by present revenues, bet it
must meke an effort to stimulate financial support so that all neceesary
aetivitles may be ,2arriog'. on adeenatelee Party leadership cannot continue
to live on starvation-level salaries, since oven professional revolntiAnints
must have suffirinnt means to dress and live adeguntoly, Thr Part-7 melt
our% to ansure .r.voillor payment. of dues by all members; to mintain a. not (7,f
sempathizere who will give generous contributions periodically; end to Teced
mass collection camealgee, festivals, athletic events, artistic entertaineents,
and raffles so that the man in the street will be contributing to the support
ef the Party.
U.
The Party also plans to increase its political activity in the belief that it
has underestimated its own electoral potential. An effort is to be made to
register the masses for voting, with special attention being given to relgisterine
women voters, Zadh militant member is charged with seeing that hie fraonds
and family are registered, and each must fight for the restoration of tees?
names removed from the electoral register under the LIW of Defense of Democracy.
9. The Communist women's organizations must work for stronger provincial and local
eomen's movements, and must take full advantage of the materials put at their
disposal by the Comite de Unidad Pemenina? in order to be moot effective
in their fight.
10. The Communist youth group, Juventud Comenista, -which has shown by its pro-
peace work that it is capable of complying with Central Committee diree.tivns,
must become more forceful in the recruitment of young tamer, worker,
student groups. It must, show its ability to act independently, as well as in
accordance with Central Committee eirectives3. end it must be organi'Aed so that
its units ma 7 be shifte6 as a 'ay:01e into r,)-1,1t; in an rnly,,I7oney.,
. In summing up, the pamphlet noted that t. Party had been muuh too Liboe;J v.
the had and worthless elements ylthin its ranks. Thi3 was pripcipally d mc
to a lack of emphasis on Commissions of Control and Discipline, ehich in
'awry cases do not exist. The Party must reenel itself aeainst
