Lehine's Cousin Busy in Mexico
The investigation of radicalism in

according to government agents. DR..
Atl, an agitator of the early. days of
peared in Sonora, where, according to
American government reports, a CO.

1.-THE worst bandits in the world
the bandits of internationalism-h
been trying for many months to start
war between the United States and
Mexico.
"These bandits, these brigands, these
criminals, are outlaws undeserving of
any human consideration. They have
armies and navies, cannon, trains,
horses, gold unlimited. They own and
congresses, churches and colleges
They would have thousands or tens of
thousands slaughtered so that they can
own Mexico and her riches, crush the
tendencies toward Bolshevism here
wipe out the taxes on their oil and
their mines, and punish the Mexican
people for refusing to participate in
the late war. The scattered and oc-
casional bandit tribes in the isolated
mountain and desert parts of Mexico
now and then rob somebody, and in
rare instances commit murders, but
their crimes-much as we deplore them
do not cause one millionth part of
the suffering that another war would
cause.
Money From Abroad Charged
ut has been proved that most of
these bandits are either supported by
foreign financial interests who want
'banditry' as an excuse for interven-
tion in Mexico or else buy their guns,
from other foreign interests that are
willing to coin profits out of the thugs
and thieves.
"The Mexican proletariat has no
problems that the Mexican proletariat
cannot solve. Alone and unaided it
overthrcw the modern Nero, Porfrio
Diaz, and wrote liberal constitution.
Alone and unmolested by alien armies
it can rise above the impediments left
by three hundred years Of bondage and
into the full enjoyment of economic
liberty.
eve appeal to you, our comrades in
other lands, to help prevent this crime
that the imperialistic Caligulas and
Herods of the world seek to commit.
"Prevent declaration of war If you
can. If you cannot prevent the dcclara
tion, prevent the consummation. Re-
fuse to fight. Get others to do the
same. Without workers to do the mas
ters' vile bidding, without soldiers to
obey the brutal orders, there can be no
