ANOTHER SLANT
TO CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING
IN j. 5.

The following communication is
given space because of its plain spok-
en- utterances with regard to amtters
that the press of the United States
seem doing all possible to ignore.
In this connection The Oasis has no
hesitation in the allegation that the
people of the United States need not
expect return to pre-war conditions
any more than did pre-war conditions
follow the Civil War. The country has
got to adjust itself to new conditions,
just as it did in the late sixties and
early seventies.
That opens up a fruitful field for
dissertation, but it will not be enter
ed here. These paragraphs are writ
ten to introduce communication:
Nogales, Arizona, May IL.
To the American Federation of Labor
News Editor,
"The Oasis" Nogales:
Few people know OF believe that
the money class of the United States
is engaged right now in deceiving the
public mind as to the truth of affairs
as they exist in this country OF in Eu-
rope, and what is to be the ultimate
result pending reconstruction now on.
Big Business owns the Associated
Press, and through that news collect
ing agency controls all papers in the
United States that use that service.
Big Business also proposes to control
the movies" thereby adding to the
press the second greatest propaganda
agency.
This campaign has been on since
the beginning of the war to give such
information was best suited for
desired purpose without the slightest
regard to truth. The profteers in
this country will not take the advice
even of their friends. They, to all
intent, say, that they have got the
money, and that they are going to
keep it; that the immense amount Of
labor necessarily employed In the few
weeks hence will have to return to
pre-war conditions, which means 'rho-
boing" and reduction of wages all
over the country.
To obviate trouble in the future,
Big Business will assume the often
sive and bring the result to an issue
at once, probably before the labor1ng
people are aware of the fact. Strikes
will be launched at various widely
separated sections which will be Of
sufficient importance to enlist all un-
ion men in said sections, and then,
one by one, or all at once, they will
be disposed off even through the mil
itary, as in the past.
In Los Angeles recently Louise
Bryant, a noted author and lecturer,
spoke to a large audience (of whicn
l was one), on Russia. She has been
in Russia. Knows all about them and
the soviet government. She refuted
the damnable lies about the degrada-
tion of the women of Russia under
the present government, which lies
has been spread by the Associated
Press. This worthy lady spoke for
two hours and a half and so enthused
were her audience over the truths
that fell from her lips that voluntary
subscriptions were called for to pay
the city press to publish her speech.
At the suggestion, money was thrown
on the stage in every manner and
form, and at the conclusion it was
found that $1,240 had been subscrib~
ed for the purpose. Did the press
publish it? No. The Record was the
only one paper that published her
address. $1,240 was not sufficient to
get the speech protecting the labor
ing class in either of the other jour
mails. l presume if she would have
attacked the masses, they would have
given-ffont page streamers the fol-
lowing day. Still people declare we
have free speech and free press.
Disabuse your minds, dear brethren
and sisters, we have nothing of the
kind. We have just about what they
had in Russia a year ago. We imag
inc it is different there now, hence
the interest now being exhibited by
the czarish press of these United
tSates.
