Transcript	Since the inconveniences that come with Party membership do not outweigh its advantages, there is a rush to get into the Party. Party membership excites the appetite and emulation of all that have the "stuff", are ambitious and are not troubled with too bothersome a conscience. To enter the Party means to serve, at the same time the existing Power, the fatherland and one's personal interests. This is how the Party is composed. Let us see now its structure. The Structure of the Party Like the official Soviet State, the Communist Party is constructed in the form of a pyramid. In every place of work there is a communist cell, with its secretary. A grade higher is the town committee, directing the activity of the cells in each locality. Above it, is the district committee, directing the activity of the committees of a number of localities. Above that is the provincial committee, then the republic committee. Still higher we find the Central Committee, and finally the Political Bureau. These are the organisms that exercise the real State power under the cover of the corresponding soviet organs. The entire system is hierarchic. An official is "proposed". That is he is named by the superior organs. At every stop of the pyramid, the secretary, the essential element of each committee, is chosen and "proposed" by the immediate higher organ. Let us examine the role of each of these ranks. The Party Member The member of the cell is first of all a diffuser of opinion, an overseer of public activity and opinion. There is a card for him in the office of his cell. He himself is subjected to surveillance by a superior. The Cell and Its Secretary The cell has its bureau. It meets at least twice a month. It has its obligatory political courses, its informational meetings, which are private or public, depending on Party requirements. At the factory, we have seen, the real power is exercised by what is called the "triangle", composed of the factory director, the president of the trade-union committee and the secretary of the communist cell. The three are generally members of the Party. The cell secretary is the real power. He is the person whom everybody fears and respects. The trade-union heads show him the deference usually accorded to an all-powerful superior. The Committee and Its Secretary Above the Party cell, we find in each city, in each district, in each province, in each Republic a corresponding Party committee. The job of each committee is to transmit the orders of the Party center, adapting them to its geographic sphere and controlling and supervising the cell secretaries, through whom the work of the cells is directed. The secretary of the Party committee controls the political life in his sphere, as well as the activity of the trusts, industries and commerce in his region. He does that through the intermediary of the directorates of these establishments. No administrator of an enterprise or a trade-union will 54
