The workers of Great Britain must struggle hand in hand with the workers of Germany, France and other countries. The closest connections must also be established with the workers of Soviet Russia. The British unions must give special attention to the linking up of their struggle with the struggle of the toilers of the British colonies.

The first national conference of the left wing in Great Britain is to be held in August, 1924. The conference must give shape to the left wing movement, map out a path for the organization of all the workers in powerful class unions and settle the question of how to strengthen the revolutionary propaganda and agitation.

The league shall carry on an intensive campaign for the shortening of the labor hours, increasing of wages, improving working conditions, and it shall stimulate the workers, both organized and unorganized to conduct an effective struggle against exploitation. In the coming industrial crisis in the United States, the league must raise throughout the labor movement, the slogan of "No reductions in wages and no lengthening of the working hours."

c. Organize the Unorganized. This campaign must be pushed with
