Socialists Pm Government
There has lately been formed
Socialist block In the chamber OF
deputies, the leader being Felipe
GARLIC, Socialist chief OF Tucatau
and warm friend Of the above men
toned ALDERMAN Another prominent
member OF the block is j. y. Ramirez
Garrido, chief Of police OF Mexico
City who was recently elected deputy
and resigned as chief Garrido, mind
you, IS an oldtimer in Mexican So
cialism.
Don't let these two facts escape
you: First, that the Socialist block
chamber, and second that one OF the
main Eazabos in the block IS the man
who was until recently chief Of police
in the nations capital. Imagine q
majority OF Socialists in the house Of
representauves in washington, ID. c..
and Red as chief Of police IN the
views OF Obreron.
Lest these assertions seem rash and I
the deductions have made, seem err
roneous. let US turn to The LIBERIA
tor OF July. 1920, and read an article. ]

same Haberman previously alluded |

planned IS one OF the leading Boil I

States and it's editor. Max Eastman, ]

espionage act during the war, the I
prosecution finally being dropped be- !

pies some five pages. These extracts /
are interesting
''The latest sympathy OF the work /
ers and the peasants IS with the new i

But IL is not too much to say that 4
never before during the past 10 years 4
Of MeLico's checkered history has an /
event so fraught with social signifi-

ton, which changed the personnel o.
leaders have promised TO further that

Looking Toward Communlsm.
Equally worthy Of note, however,
IS an article in the August. 1920, is
sue OF Gales Magazine already
and a magazine which is
far more violently Bolshevlstic than
The Liberator." On page 1l. under
the caption, "lieXico's Revolution a
Step Forward" we read.
The Ohregon revolution IN Mexico
Is the biggest step forward In an
the history Of this storm-sWept,
sfrffe-torn nation. Because il
evidences the unfolding class con-
sciousness Of the Mexican masses, IL
Is pregnant with hope. 1t indicates
that the toilers OF the country are
10 hope that the day is not distant
when they win shed all the sWaddling
infant clothing Of bourgeois and
SEMI bourgeois beliefs and turn 70
Communism as their only salvation"
Elsewhere Gale says that the OBJ
-egon administration viii probably be
comparable 20 that Of kerenszy in
Russia intimating that the Lenin ana
rrotsizy Of Russia viii come later.
Tt cannot be otherwise he explains
unless, as IS barely possible Ohre-
son IS driven BY the short sighted
opposition Of these capitalists into es-
lousing Communism.
So there IS even a bare chance that
Oregon may institute a Communist
regime.
Loose PromiEca.
Those who recall the emphatic
promises Of the new government that
property rights would be respected
and the oil question solved fairly.
nay be inclined TO regard this maya
zine article as the balance Of a dem
lgog trying 20 cheer up his follow
ars or the pipe dream Of a fanatic,
but II so. they should take another
think.
They should recall that every one
lf the promises regarding foreign I
capital invested here, was couched
n general and indefinite terms. There
was much said about friendship for
The United States but there was no
explanation OF what sucn friend j

glib assurances OF protection Of D
property but there was no definition /
