The presence in Russian Jewry of a tendency toward the Right was deplored in a resolution adopted at the plenary session of the Yersdlotia, the Jewish section of the Communist party, which men here this week.
Declaring that the majority of Russian Jews still hold bourgeois views, the resolution urges the members of the section to strengthen the class war in Jewish towns and villages. It demeanors “the tolerance” displayed in some circles of Jewish Communist workers toward the nationalist tendencies, which seek union with the nationalists abroad.
The Jewish section of the Communist party proposes, it appears from the resolutions adopted, to undertake a campaign for the organization of the Jewish poor in the towns and villages and especially the poor artisans as a body to countered the Right tendencies. Among the measures planned is the simulation of self-criticism concerning the work in the Jewish towns and the strengthening of the Communist party leadership in the social organizations.
