Parte del informe sobre la situación del PCC y del movimiento obrero de Cuba hecho por el representante del PC de EEUU George 1930 08 16 rally to the National Confederation and all attacked lower bodies, which would continue to exist a nd lead the struggles of the workers regardless of government action, by reorganizing itself on the basis of Shop Committees.
This solving the matter of the permanent general strike. many meetings were held with the Secretariat, with additional members o the CC at some meetings, and with special workers, in consultation over the general work of the Party in various fields. discovered a feeling of great bitterness at the lack of attention given the Cuban CP by the CI. When pointed out their provincial ism as shown in many ways, they replied that this was not of their choosing, and largely results from the lack of interest in Cuba on the part of the CI. They had asked many times for a Party Congress, had made arrangements for representatives visiting Mexico to attend to this, but nothing has been done. Comrade Hova had went to Moscow in the summer of 1929, to draw attention and guidance from the CI for the Cuban movement, but had met with indifference and was extremely embittered at not only getting no political program worked out but at inconsiderate treatment generally especially in Org. matters.

Moreover the secretariat sends out directives without consideration as to the secret nature of our party, we get only general mimeographed lett ers, and although we in Cuba made more of a success on March 20 than any other Party in Latin America, all we got from was two lines of congratulations bourgeois courtesies we can do without and not even a request for a detailed report. We had 200, 000 on strike March 20, and we get only this scant attention from
