Carta de Martínez Villena al BP del CC del PC de EEUU 1929 00 00 leadership when in the leader cadres and in the rank and file there are not some proletarians with sufficient Marxist, theoretical preparation. Bec ause this social composition, the Communist Party of Cuba has today only one true political leader (a worker, general secretary at present) and upon his head rests the weight of the responsibility of the work. In these circumstances, a fruitful discussion within the is not possible.
Second: The Communist Party of Cuba has not its own press organ. Six months ago the of Cuba bought a small painting machine in Germany but it had not been sent yet to Cuba. political party without press is not a political party. Especially is it true that on illegal party cannot establish connections with the broad masses except through its own official organ principally.
Third: The Communist Party of Cuba has been criminally left out in the cold. This is a harsh but a just expression. Its subsidy does not come or arrives very late.

As a result of all these circumstances the Cuban Party is weak numer ically and has not sufficient teorical leaders nor enough comrades for the technical work research, Secretary, clerical works, international connections, schemes broadening, typewriting, etc. Under this situation the Communist Party of Cuba is not capable of doing sufficient, perfect, complete work. The Communist Party of Cuba may make deviations, arriving perhaps at a downfall. And when it does, the Communist Party of Cuba will suffer a censure, as a condign punishment; but this cen
