The Political. Bureau, in fulfillment of the resolutions of the Central
Committee: has discussed and approved the GENERAL EXPLI NATOR"Y `.NEXT of
the Plan which is to be worked out by the entire Party? This 'FIXT is
attached to this circular and will serve as a guide for the StE-A3 Committees
in developing their own Working Plans, which are to be sulmittF,d Ft the
latest by 30 March.
The General Plan, which will be definitively developed with th, Plans of
each State Committee, will begin 15 April and end 16 September F, anniversary
of the founding of our Party. That is to say_, it will last fie months.
the resolution of the past Plenary Session was that a Plan c f Organization
should be developed with the contribution of opinions of the members of
he Central Committee and the Concrete Plans of each State Cony, i.ttee, We
are recommending, that., upon receiving this circular, the State Committees,
the Organizing Commissions, and the Heads of the Party in each entity hold
EXTENDED ST&TE MEETING, with representatives from the maximui number of
Cells, in order that the Working Plan may be developed and serat to us
immediately.
However, the State Committees-, when they send in their Plan, mist not wait
until 15 April to begin to fulfill the tasks they have ?rssignecc themselves.
Rather, as soon as it is developed, they must begin to fulfill its Regardless.
of whether there is an opinion of the National Executive Poard or whether
it is believed pertinent to modify the Plan of some State, this will be
done at once, but by no means will this prevent the addition of a later
amendment to the indicated tasks
On the other hand, At 1is important that you realize that THE SUCCESS OF
OUR WORK DEPENDS. upon the application of the Plans approved by each
organization and their exact fulfillment. No organization or T'arty member
is to view the Plan with contempt; on the contrary, there must be a
er,scial determination by each Communist to fulfill to the maxir:im and even
to exceed the Working Plan
4s very special recommendation is this: In approving the State or?king
R'lLans, the Party organizations should be realistic,, and the tar s imposed
s;aould be those that can. be fulfilled by systematized work. Ir other
words, the Plans must be developed in accordance with the Party strength,
with the conditions of strength among the masses, prospects, eta,
The Party must always have a complete idea of all the problems of 01r?
peasants, of all classes that work in the country, their populc r
characteristics, and tk a complexity of all their problems, in cf-der to
be able to act upon firm basest,

Simultaneously, the Party work in organizing Communist Youth mist be
developed and amplified; it will serve as a school for new.genorations.
Therefore, it is very important that through youth we win over the best
young workers and peasants who desire,a better life for our people on the
basis of struggling for the program and principles of the Mexican Communist
Party. The recruiting of women must be stimulated. We must not forr?et
that it is the women's section that is in the greatest danger of being
won over by reactionary forces and the Bourgeois Parties becaua'e of the
very condition of the Mexican woman. We must make the greatest effort to
recruit the maximum number of women, taking experience from the role of
prime importance that woman has played in social struggles and particularly
within the Communist Parties throughout the world. Contempt for women's
work must be put aside, and it must be given attention.
Tied in with these objectives are the tasks which will permit he attain-
ment of the above-mentioned aims and are indispensable for the strengthening
of the Party. These tasks are AGITATION AND PROPAGANDA, EDUCATION OF OUR
tv ,1 R,S, AND FINN CR5 OF THE PARTY. The Party must formulate concrete
objectives in the field of agitation and propaganda.=-using all means within
our reach, such as written propaganda, meetings, lectures. etc. It must
educate every militant in order that he may print his propaganda personally
each day. This propaganda must be opportune and clear, in order to be
understood by the masses. As for Education, it is superfluous to say that
it is most urgent to raise the political level of each Party member by means
of the organization of study or reading circles. In connection with all
the above, in order that the Communist Party may do effective work and be
able to fulfill all the tasks, it must have the necessary funds.' The Party
must understand theme problems completely, Every Communist must know that
each cent given to our organization is a great aid toward the enlargement
of our Party. The problem of finances is so closely linked with .the life
of the Party that without money we can do nothing. Therefore, it must be
realized that it is a fundamental daily task of each Communist to aid the
Party financially, pay his dues regularly, collect money among all his
friends, and organize functions that will bring sums of money to the Party
every day,
PROPAGANDA WORK THAT MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT and be of maximum value to
the Party: 1.-Sale of literature. 2.-V OZ DE MEXICO. 3.-/Magazine tOTe.orie."
4._-.Educational notebooks. 5.-Fortnightly Organization Bulletix. b.-Picture
newspaper of Youth. 7.-Different Bulletins.
The National Organization Commission proposes to have the following State
Committees function : 'BAJA CALIFORi C A, NORT i :R TERRI TONY : CIUI PAS:

Within our organization there must always exist criticism and self-
criticism. The reason for the expulsion of certain persons waa, not
precisely that they criticized the work of the Party but rather that
they represented a group that at any cost tried to take possession of the
Direction of the Party, in order to serve faithfully from the Ixecutive
Board the interests of hostile forces. If they were unable to do thsis,
then they tried to divide it, as shown by the activity in which they are
now engaged with the greatest of"rontery,
The successes obtained by our Party after the entire group of traitors
was thrown out of its ranks should serve as a stimulus to our work and
make us understand that the Party must strengthen itself, organically and
politically and be convektad into the Party of thousands and thousands of
workers with roots among the masses?

Hance the necessity of having each Party organization with full vision
and political firmness fulfill the tasks that the National Plan of
Organization will establish with the contribution of. opinions of the
entire Party throughout the country,
It is necessary that the Party :Hake clear among its members the Leninist
standards of organization, which are: To accept the Party Program; to
belong to a Basic Organization, the Cell; and to pay dues punctually.
Jjr an indispensable condition for the fulfillment of the general and concrete
teaks of the Party, the application of its political line, and attention
to the problems of the working and peasant classes, the Party throughout
the country must fight to fulfill the above-mentioned standards of organi-
zation, especially those referring to the fact that each Party ~?aember must
work in his respective cell and pay his dues. In proportion as we attain
this, we shall have taken a step of prime importance for the development
r-.nd strengthening of our organization.
A?.,l the Party organizations in the country have the duty of understanding
that the exchange OF THE NEW MOW is a political task of prime Duportance
as respects organization, not only because the Party members are thus
regularized but because by that means the members and their dues can be
controlled. Therefore, the Working Plans of each State Committee must
include as an important task that the Party organizations accelerate the
work of CA1 ET EXCHA, IGEo
It is also important that all Party Committees educate the members in the
following:
To have perfect consciousness of discipline, as an indispensable condition
for Party unity.
To understand that each militant is charged with the responsibility of ful-
fillment of the resolutions and ; tasks of the Party.
To be inspired in the spirit of self-denial and sacrifice in order to give
the Party everything possible for its strengthening,,
For greater comprehension and success of our organizational wort we must
bear in mind that it must be carried out in accordance with the experience
International Communism has had,, So, at the front of the Party as
secret-uries General of each organization must be the most proved, most
experienced, and most capable men, especially men of incorruptible political
stability., who will guarantee the application of our political line adjusted
to the conditions and problems arising in each place and guide he Party
along an appropriate path,
i,i_kewisea, it is important that in the organizational work there be formed
Responsible Commissions, which will tenaciously attend the work each day
with efficiency. After the political line traced by our Party, after the
resolutions and tasks approved, the deciding factor in the Part?7 is the
work of Organi zationr Otherwise, says STALIN, all good intentions can remain
simply on paper,, Therefore, it is very important that in the work of
organization, aside from its being attended to by the respectiv,,, commissions,
the entire Party from the highest director ,o the newest member really be
concerned every day with the enlargement of the Party by the so .ual application
of the principles and standards of organization and by care concerning
recruiting, the organization of new cells, and all general work.

`te scientific doctrine on which all our activities are based, 1Marxism,
teaches us that the Party must be supported principally by the proletariat,
which is the class of a great future, That is how the Party mint take the
proletarian class of Mexico in our cased With this as a motto, it is very
urgent that the Party through its directing agencies and chiefl ? through
the union leaders, fulfill this suggestion, joining the workers, attending
to their problems, influencing them, orienting them, and guiding them toward
a common objective and toward the development of consciousness of class and
of the role that it must play. The Communist Party must be the true
director, as a vanguard of the working class; and therefore it must work
systematically to organize the union groups, direct, them wisely, keep posted
on the problems that confront the workers' movement, carrying or.t controlled
and systematized work that will gradually permit a greater and ;:greater in-
fluence of the Party among the proletariat and upon the basis of formation
of workers' cells in the principal industries. Only thus shall we attain the
reinforcement of the Communist Party among the workers. Create ' attention
must bein reference to work. amon,the workers of the fundamental
industries of the country, the most important industries, those of greatest
futage ina their development;, for example, in Nuevo Leon,, among the
netallurgists, electricians, railroad workers, textile workers, etc.;
in Tamaulipas, in addition to those, among the petroleum worker,.,.., cotton
and sugar workers, etc. And so throughout the country the Part`' Must
concentrate its attention on the factories and industries of greatest
ii ortance.
