QUESTION:: What is to become of

money which some of the branches
have in their treasury?
Answer: Upon reorganization every
branch secretary should bring all his
or her records up to date and turn
these over to the district organizer.
Every branch, before it disbands as
a party unit, that is, before it's mem
bers are organized into shop and
street nuclei, should liquidate all its
debts to such party institutions as
The DAILY WORKER, the district
and national offices, ETC. If there are
any funds after such debt settlements,
the remaining money shall be divided
as follows: Fifty per cent to The
DAILY WORKER; twenty-five per
cent to the district office and twenty
five per cent to the national Office of
the party.
In cases where branches own
property, like buildings, the present
party members of the particular
branch in question shall constitute
body for taking over the property, in
to which body only party members
shall enter as bona fide members, ir
respective of their nationality. In
cases where non-party members are
co-owners of branch club rooms, etc.,
our party members should form Com
munist fraction in the owning body
and thus serve to control and own
this property, under the instructions
and as agents of the party.
QUESTION: Some of our members

shop nucleus, that is on the basis
of being connected with a party unit
in his place of employment, or in a
street nucleus, that is, on the basis
of hic hoip0 aOnnacfad with q monty,

he happens to be living. No one will,
after reorganization, be permitted to
attach himself to the party on the
