Another Revolution Inevitable


When that time comes it will not
matter whether there happens to be an
ambitious politician at hand who wants
to lead them or not If there happens
to be, they may follow him, but he
will be forced to do what they want
or his days will be numbered. And if
there is no such aspirant available,
the workers will pick their own leader
from their ranks, which will be much
better, to be sure.
In any event, Communism is coming
in Mexico and nothing can stop it
ultimately.
On the other had, it is just as certain
that Wall st, having been thoroly ex'
asperated by Carranza's long and per-
sistent resistance, will, to paraphrase
what the kaiser is said to have told
James w. Gerard, "stand for no non
sense from 0bregon." If he tries tc
do much for the masses, American
capitalism will get rid of him in short
order. 1t is by no means convinced 81

The Peon To Be Heard From

WASHINGTON.-A request by for
mer Senator Hardwick of Georgia,
counsel for Ludwig G. A. K. Martens,
chief of the Russian Soviet Bureau at
New York, for the subpoena Of Major
General Graves, former commander Of
the American Evolutionary forces in
Siberia, and of Raymond Robins was
denied recently by immigration In
spector Shell on the ground that their
testimony would be irrelevant.
The case Of Martens before the
Commissioner of immigration was COM
pleted last week. A hearing which was
scheduled to take place June II, it is
thought, will be taken on the deporta-
tion warrant for Martens.

Miss Augur thinks that Wall st.
would like to see Obregon start on a
radical policy so it would have an
excuse for intervention. Not at all.
Wall st. would much prefer to have
obregon play the game with it. 1t
will be far easier to dominate Mexico
indirectly and "diplomatically" than
to conquer it with guns. When the peon
sees a "gEngo" soldier coming for
him, he gets mad and being able to
fight like hell and then some, he will
keep that soldier busy for quite a
while, despite the disparity in their
respective equipment. But pat the

to "assist" him in developing his
country, and he grins good-naturedly,
gets friendly and puffs away at his
cigaret. He can be kidded in this way
for a while for he is not by nature
suspicious. Wall st. would rather use
this method, and take its chances or
being able to put down later rebel
lion by the time that the peon get
his eyes open.
Obregon, tho he may really want tt
right social wrongs and even lay tht
, bases Of new system in Mexico, will
not dare to. Perhaps he will not wan
to. Perhaps the prospect of America

plenty of guns will be too alluring 70

Communism is inevitable
in Mexico, Sooner or Later.
- By Linn A. E Gale. :

in Mexico, Sooner or Later.
These long-enslaved, suffering and
exploited masses know in dim way
that they want an end of capital
ism. Clear vision is not theirs yet
but they are acquiring it rapidly.
Many of them have acquired it al
ready. The increasing radicalism of
the unions, even those that are af-
filiated with the Pan-American Feder-
alton of Labor, is an unmistakable
sign. The cynism with which many
of the unions have regarded the pro-
mises of both Obregon and Bonillas
in the campaign that now, since the
revolution, is starting all over again,
with Bonnillas eliminated, is evidence
of the steady swing of Mexican pro-
letarian sentiment toward direct action.
But it would be a mistake to an.
ticipate another outbreak, claSs-con'
scious revolution, soon. Miss Helen
Augur, writing in New York Call, init
mates that when the election comes
there may be real effort to elect
a labor government. Miss Augur ii

Workers with Obregon yet but

The vast majority Of the Mexican
workers are with Obregon due to the Of
ficient electioneering of LIN. Morones,
close friend of Obregon and right
hand man of Samuel Gompers. They
will stay with him for a while. They
are eminently satisfied with the out
come of the revolution to date and be-
lieve that Obregon, on his accession to
office, will be a true friend Of labor.
They also like de Ia Huerta, newly
elected provisional President, and have
heard much of what he did for labor
in Sonora as its Governor. They will
certainly stand by Obregon for time
Then, if exploitation and oppres
sion continue, as they must to a
greater or lesser degree, and if social
ization of industry is not begun il
apparent sincerity, they will prepar,
for another uprising.

Carranza Nationalist,
Not Radical

AS to Carranza, while we shudder at
his murder, let us not be misled into
any maze Of hero-worship of the slain
man. Let us not forget that his policy
or opposition to- Wall st. was one of
Mexican nationalism, rather than In
ternationalism, and that while he tried
to keep the nation IS wealth for local
bourgeoisie, he permitted the excellent
labor laws of the country to go I'M
enforced against Mexican and Spanish
capitalists as well as against American
capitalists. Only a few weeks before
Itbe revolution broke out, "Resurgi.
miento'', a brilliant little Spanish
weekly published by the Puebla syn
dicalists, contained an editorial saying
that the wretched wages, long hours
and entire absence Of sanitary restric
tions that the Carranza government
winked at, were worse even than what
existed under Diaz.
Let us not forget, either, that while
Carranza was killed as the result Of
the brutal determination of American
finance.capitalism to seize Mexico, many
a poor worker with less provincial
and chauvinistic outlook than Car
rama, has given his life for the sam
heartless reason.

COMMUNISM EVENI1SilLY IN MEXICO. TWILIGHT STAGE NOW

Carranza "flopped" in the last few
months Of his administration, and at
the moment of the revolutionary up
rising, was spending millions of pesos
to elect as his successor, Ambassador
Ygnacio Bonnillas, the real choice of
Yankee capitalism. Carranza had per-
mitted a suspension of the petroleum.
tax law; had turned his back on the
Radicals with whom he formerly flirt-
ed but for whom he never had any
real sympathy; had agreed to pay the
old Huerta debt that he had hitherto
steadfastly repudiated; and would
probably have been allowed TO get the
100000 rounds of ammunition that
had been held in New York years
because the American government
would not allow the shipment of what
he had actually bought.
Playing ''Both Ends Against Middle"
The only reason why the monied
men north of the Rio Grande dropped
Carranza so quickly when the revolt
came, was that they realized the popul-
arity of Obregon and did not want to
waste further time with the losing
man! If Carranza had stood show
of winning, they might have staid with
him. Nobody knows. Those who pretend
to know, don't and are only displaying
knowledge that is not knowledge but
. guesswork. It was an opportunistic
game that Wall st. played all the time.
Carranza having sold out, would have
been "safe' if he had refined powor.
Obregon, who was also receiving aid
:, from Big Business, would probably be
:, safe, if he won, they figured. If the
. revolution lasted, the American govern
ment could step in and grab the
country without further ado and with
=. out bothering to deal with either set
of politicians. And if one side or the
other definitely won and then refused
to do as it was told, it would be easy
to torment another outbreak and in
- tervene just the same.
The Peon To Be Heard From

in the revolution, the result would hav'
been much the same. Wall St. playe,

The announcement was made here. to-

held in various parts Of the state. from
which sectional meets men would be

II is believed that this method will
result in greatly increased interest
among the high schools in track and

schools that do not feel justified in
sending untried boys here. an oppor..

first. second or third places in these
sectional meets will be entitled to enter

will be popular one as
IL has been discussed by school athletic
heads with favor heretofore.
