More Than 1OO,O 900 Population.

Mexico City is one of the most
beautiful metropolis of the Western
World and the second largest and
most important city of Spanish
America. The city proper has
population of over 100000 IN
habitants. but the metropolitan dis
trict comprises a much larger figure.
It is estimated that its population
has doubled since the beginning of
the revolution. during which many
people from other parts of the coun-
try moved 10 the capital seeking
safety
At the present time preparations
are being made in Mexico City for the
international fair, which will take
place some time next year.
A beautiful and historical park, the
Alameda, dating back from the carly
colonial days. has been ceded by the
city government to celebrate the fair.
The federal government has granted
the use of the Monumental Grand
Opera House and its adjacent
grounds.
The total area Of the Alameda is
about 100000 square feet, but in
order to protect the trees and monu-
ments and leave ample space for cir
Culation. only 300 900 square feet will
he available for display. Mexican con
Germs have been allotted One-hat OF
this surface; 100. 600 square feet are
offered to American enterprises, and
the remaining $4,000 square feet will
be disposed of 10 other countries.

Number Of Shop
District Nuclei Organized Members

From this table II will be seen that
out of a total of approximately $4,000
members on our rolls, Of whom ap-
proximately 10000 are in good stand
ing, we have been able to organize in
six months OF work about three per
cent of these members into the basic
units recommended by the Commun-
list International. In FIVE OF our dis
tricts, we have not been able to build
up a single shop nucleus. Out OF the
close to 100 City Central Committees
we have in the party at the present
time, not more than twenty have shop
nuclei organized in their cities.
These results are a discredit to our
party. They show that no earnest,
systematized effort has been made to
begin the work OF reorganization Of
the party members on the basis OF the
The daily worker., 1925-06-23

The experiences of the European
PARTIES also throw light upon how the
reorganization must proceed. Most of
the European parties set aside def
mite period in which the party was to
be completely reorganized, as for in
stance in the French party it was
three months period, in the German
party six months period, etc. The
European parties were forced to apply
these methods because they found that
if the shop nuclei were organized only
in isolated cases in place of the whole
party being reorganized, the tendency
was for the shop nuclei to disintegrate
and the membership to drift back into
the territorial units. Our party will
have the same experience unless the
work of reorganization is pressed more
aggressively. The sixty-four shop nu-
clei we now have will tend to disin-
tegrate unless we can quickly push the
work of reorganization to such an ex-
tent that the majority of the member
ship will be organized into shop nu-
clei.
The Immediate Task Before Our Party
The responsible party committees
must take up the work of achieving
this end earnestly and Systematically.
District and city organizers must take
the work of reorganization the most
important task before them.
The Communist International ex-
poets us to secure results in the work
of reorganization.
II we go ahead at the rate we have
been going. II will be another ten
years before our party is reorganized.
We must complete the work before
another six months elapse.
The progress Of our party and it's
Communist tasks depends upon our
transforming our organization basis
to that OF shop nuclei.
