even led regiments against De La
Huerta, which were organized by them
under the hammer and sickle emblem
on red flags, and many Of the most
active Communists Of Mexico fell in
action while fighting against De La
Huerta and his Fascist counter-revo-
luton.
Morones was compelled to deny
this lie in public statement when
Gompers first made the accusation at
El Paso. He then even allowed the
Communists to answer Gompers in
paper Morones himself controlled.
Vargas, his understudy, in the Mexi-
can Federation Of Labor also denied
the accusation. But Vargas worked
with Chester e. Wright in writing the
Pan-American federation report in
which this ridiculous charge is repeat
ed. It is common knowledge that
Gompers insisted that the canard
must go in the report, and Morones,
lackey that he is, had to swallow the
humiliation.
The Revolutionary Peasant Congress.
Flushed with their victory at Juarez,
where the c. r. o. M (tho Mexican
Federation of Labor expelled Alfonso
Soria the Communist, and tied the C.
R. o. M, officially at least, to the
Gompers' chariot of class coIlabora-
tion, the Morones gang promised their
chief, that they would also conquer
and deliver the revolutionary peasant
organization of the state of Vera Cruz. /,

But while "Comrade GoMpers'-

President Gales, aIons came the news
that the attempt IL carry the peasant
congress at Jalapa for reaction was
defeated ~.
Thesf st act of the convention was
Snow its contempt for the Morones,
lrevino, Rico type Of leadership, by
seating Soria, who had come as a visit
or on his way back to his home state
of Michoaican, as a delegate, because
he had been expelled from the C. r.
o. M. convention.
Afiliates to Peasant International.
They followed this up by afiliating
the Agrarian League Of Communes of
the state Of Vera Cruz to the Peasants
International eondemning the fake
Gales Labor Party" The Parti da
Laborista Mexicano, and endorsing the
Communist Party Of Mexico.
They decided to resist the attempt
Of the government to disarm the revo-
lutionary peasants regiments, and to
solidify all Agrarian League of Com.
munes in Mexico into one national or
ganization. To accomplish this, it was
decided to send Ursulo Galvan, the
present president of the Agrarian
League of Communes of the state of
Vera Cruz, and member of the execu-
tive committee of the Peasants Inter
national, on an organizing tour in all
states where agrarian leagues Of COM
munes are already in existence. A
provisional national committee was
formed, each state being allowed rep
|resentation with Galvan as chairman.
What a contrastI
What a contrast between this con-
venticn Of ragged and ill-fed peasants,
and the well-dressed, well-fed govern

and his $4,000 to $4,000 per year exc
cutive council, and the government
elected delegates from some of the
small republics that have only labor
movement on paper.
Given free railroad transportation
from and to their homes, entertained
royalty by the American imperialistic
controlled Mexican government. While
these despised but feared peasants
had to walk hundreds of miles, were
housed in the hall given to them by
the unions of Jalapa, fed with food
donated by the farmers and city
workers, waited upon by the daughters
and wives Of union men.
An Inspiring Meeting.
One of the outstanding acts Of this
convention Of peasants, which showed
their understanding of the necessity
Of the workers on the farm and the
city joining forces in the struggle
against capitalism, was the invitation
given to the city workers to come and
hear the reports on Russia, which was
to be delivered by Bertram d. Wolfe,
member of the executive committee
Of the Communist Party Of Mexico.
This was indeed an inspiring meet
ing. The largest hall in town was
packed to over-flowing with workers,
their wives and children, peasant dele
gates, revolutionary peasant soldiers
with red bands around their enormous
straw hats. TO let all who wanted to
know that they were not pacIfist or
