strated his sympathy with the ideals
for which Madero gave his life, and
has refused to compromise these ideals
with Mexican revolutionists who were
seeking their own personal interests.
He has endeavored to secure for the
Mexican republic the dignity and re-
spect that ought to be accorded to any
sovereign government.
THE sympathies of the workers Of
the United States have been very
deeply touched by the struggles of our
fellow workers of Mexico. AS recent
events have drawn all of the countries
of the two American continents more
closely together, so the workers of

at is with the desire that we Amer
leans who have so much liberty and
so much of opportunity should use our
influence to aid those who are less
fortunate, that as representatives of
the labor movement of America we
urge you recognition of General Car

"The matter, we know, is receiving
your most earnest and most conscien-

that your sympathies are very strong

larger liberty for the people, therefore

that our own class solidarity may not
be overwhelmed in the same wave of
war enthusiasm.
Every day that passes brings us
nearer to the maelstrom of strife. Our
children are led out at stated times
according to law to salute the flag.
Our young people, in every motion
picture show, are enthused by the
sight of parading soldiers and sailors,
and again the flag is played up at ev-
cry opportunity. And even the pulpit
lauds patriotism and blesses the men
who go forth to kill
And when the newspapers and mag
azines scream for war and demand
reparation for a fancied insult let us
not be caught in the trap of patriot

Let us prove that in one country
we are wise to the game of the war
makers and will not be led by the
beat of the drum or the sight of the
