Mexico MOUeS FOrwGrd

Mexico has decided to recognize the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics. An ambassador from
the Latin-Amercan Republic will soon occupy
diplomatic post in Moscow and a representative of
the first Workers and Farmers Republic will take
his place in Mexico City.
This action is most welcome news. Mexico has
every good reason to be on the most friendly terms
with the Soviet Government. Like Soviet Russia,
the Mexican Republic has been compelled to fight
for its existence against the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the
imperialist powers of the capitalist world.
1t is significant that, at this very moment when
the Mexican government is forced to negotate with
the Committee of International Bankers In refer
ence to old and new loans, it should have the cour-
age to resume friendly relations with the Soviet
Government. The farming and industrial masses
of our southern neighbor have many times and long
ago expressed their keen friendship for and genu-
inc sympathy with the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics Only the fear of the foreign capitalist
powers has prevented the Mexican Government
from Welding sooner to this strong feeling of the
overwhelming majority of the country.
The red flag is now flying to the north of Wash
ington in Canada where there is official mission
of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Soon
the red flag will be flying to the south OF us In
Mexico City. The imperialist United States Gov
eminent is being rapidly isolated in its anSoviet
Russian policy. Hughes isolation policy against
the Soviet Republics is proving boomerang.
Last but not least, the restoration of complete,
normal relations between Mexico and Soviet Rus
STA is of inestimable Importance in the field of all
Latin-American and United States relations. Latin
America is today sort of an economic hinterland
for the powerful group of Yankee capitalists. The
great storehouse of natural resources to the south
of us has been at the mercy of the profteering
American capitalists There is much intense
hatred of Yankee Imperialism in all the Latin
American republics.
Mexico is the threshold of Latin-America. The
Mexican recognition of Soviet Russia will bring
the oppressed republics much closer to the only
government that entertains genuine friendship for
them This is an event of tremendous international
significance.

BY BEN GITLoW.
Workers Party Candidate
For Nice-President

Ten years ago the world was plunged
into a savage devastating war by
it's capitalistic imperialist rulers. Cap
italistic governments for four and a
half years sent millions Of workers to
the bloody fields to be slaughtered.
The World War in its colossal destruc-
tiveness threw the masses of the peo-
Pile into the depths of fear, extreme
misery, hopeless despair and sorrow.
Every advance on the road to human
freedom and justice was crushed ruth
lessly.
The capitalist rulers of all countries
kept protesting that they were con-
tinuing the struggle in the interest of
humanity and for the establishment of
permanent peace. At the same time
these capitalist rulers we're converting
the agony Of the people into millions
and millions of dollars of war profits.
They fastened the many billions OF dor
lars that the war cost not only upon
the backs of the workers Of this gen.
Grafton, but upon the backs of the flu
ture generations also. Thru their
bloody regime they have so disor-
ganized and destroyed the economic
life Of Europe that millions Of people
find themselves destitute. Starvation,
unemployment and extreme indescrib.
able poverty are today the common lot
of most Of the people of Europe.
Wars Against Labor
The capitalist rulers soon forget
their protestations. The armistice
was not followed by the laying down
of arms and the resumption Of peace

The Circulation Drive

The DAILY WORKER is the mightiest weapon
in the hands of the revolutionary movement IN
the United States "How did we ever get along
without it?" is the question most active work
ers ask of each other. Now, that we have it, we
can very well forsee what it's loss would mean to
the Workers Party and to the working class move
ment But that is a very, very hypothetical specu-
lation.
We are getting a circulation drive under way.
This drive is an unusual one. 1t is combina-
ton membership drive for the Workers Party and
a circulation drive for the DAILY WORKER.
Very novel and very interesting.
The problem is a simple one and quite easy. We
pride ourselves on being militants.. Here is a
chance to prove that we are workers as well as
takers
The plan is that every party member should en-
list another member in the party and bring in a
new subscription to the DAILY WORKER at the
same time. Combination ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
cards are issued. The DAILY WORKER has a
reputation as a fearless battler for the workers.
1t does not seek to hide the truth behind barrage
of meaningless phrases. 1t is not diplomatic y
1t is straightforward The workers like it.
Every member of the party is expected to bring
in at least one new member-subscriber during this
campaign. Failure to do this means that it will
take a good deal of argument to convince us that
the comrade who cannot bring in a new member
into the party is much Of a militant has exerted
himself to gain influence among his fellow workers
While the reformists are scuttling their organ
izations in order to grab votes, the Communists
will be busy doing organizational work during the
election campaign and turning voters and sym
pathizers into members of the Workers Party and
subscribers to the DAILY WORKER.

In response to the call of the CEN

two hours. A large open air meet
ing was held at 10th and 9TH aves
The party speakers presented the
subject of imperialism and imperial

the coming world catastrophe that is
SO lightly promised by many promi-
nent capitalist diplomats.
No Peace Under Capitalism.
Capitalist governments can assure
no peace. The only hope they hold
out to the workers is continued ex-
ploitation and misery at home and
savage, brutal devastating war. II
war is to be ended, if the slaughter
of millions of workers is to cease,
then capitalism with its imperialism
must be destroyed because capitalism
so long as the earth's surface with
it's wealth is the private property OF
individual capitalists and their com
bines, just so long will there exist the
danger of war. Just so long as the
various national capitalist interests
must find markets for their surplus
products, and undeveloped territories
for the investment Of their surplus
capital, just so long will they come
in conflict with other national CAPT
tallSC interests similarly situated. Oul
of such conflicts war must eventually
follow. Because the markets of the
world are limited and undeveloped
territories more so.
Permanent peace can be established
only by destroying the cause of all
modern war. To get peace capitalism
must be destroyed. The only ones
that can do that job are the workers
Since they must bear all the war bur
dens Of capitalism they have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
doing SO.
Workers Must Seize Power.
The only movement, in the worlC
today that is engaged in a struggle
against capitalism is the world Com
