well, that's the way these people are, this is reality. Reality is how well we expose the fallaciousness of these trends within the labor movement. The other aspect of our vanguard role is in the course of working around these various issues within and alongside the labor movement, how well do we develop as socialist forces, who have the ability to philosphically destroy the concept of capitalism in the eyes of the workers, and supplant it with the visions of socialism. New York City is a city which is ripe not only with immediate and advanced perspectives but for the development of additional significant socialist education. Twenty percent of New York City's population consists of the most exploited people in the country. Another large segment of the working class are not much better off. The ultimate measure of our abilities on all these various phases is to the extent that we grow. Does our work build the Party's influence and the Party's ranks

Our Division is rapidly approaching the position where we will make the break. Not that we will move out on all these questions all at once. However, we are already moving on various key aspects of this outlook. Many serious advances are being made. More and more will follow. In two years from now I expect we will have built a whole new series of relationships with thousands of workers in the city. I am sure indications of this will develop by many yardsticks. One more important one but by no means the only one will be the growth of the Worker in the course of our work. The party won't grow unless the Worker grows. Simple but true. Material such as the George Morris pamphlet and Khrushchev disarmament speech and the development of regional Party republicanism will be another barometer. Where these forms cannot occur in great numbers because of the justifiable reasons other yardsticks will be developed. But our work and our party will grow, primarily because of the need. Its trained sophisticated cadre who have made it through this stormy period and the resurgence of confidence and enthusiasm which to some extent has been lacking in our work. Our work in the labor movement is decisive. Our tasks are the most important on the American scene. The American workers must have their vanguard just as in any other country. The powerful international socialist movement are the allies of the American working class and enable us to move ahead. This advantage is of the greatest significance. Not every party in the past has had such an advantage. It is true that our capitalist class is the most powerful, but its very contradiction based on the people's great democratic and socialist movements on a world scale weaken it and speed its decline. The better and harder we work the sooner we will have peace and socialism.

Transcription Notes:
There are a few words that I was unsure of: anims, Heim, revolutionary, zealotry, Socialism, Reornle(had a lot of trouble with this one), eutentin, africaznile, penled, communism. The hand writing was a little scribbly so these are just the words in order that gave me a little trouble. All of it is at the handwritten part at the bottom. I put image at the front the of the places where the sketch shows up.
