Davis twirled a fair game, but mis-

contest. The locals also looked bad In
the field during the early innings, but
steadied down and helped Zanah a great

The brilliant fielding of Shirley and
Joyce throughout the game stood out
in bold relief against the sordid back

Pouring More Oh /
on the Troubled
Political Waters


WASHINGTON.-A division Of
public attention from the Teapot
Dome and California naval oil lands
scandals is being ATTEMPTED by Sec
rotary of the Interior Work, at the
moment when Albert Fall, his pre-
decessor, is caught in perjury as to
the source of the mysterious $780,
900 with which Fall arrived in New
Mexico after having sold the naval
oil reserves to Doheny and Sinclair.
The diversion is a spectacular dash
for the Arctic shore of Alaska, sin
the examination of the navy's largest
petroleum reserve"
Work explains, in five-shet press
handout, that he is sending geolo-
gists and engineers of the geologi-
cal survey to the naval oil reserve
lying between the Yukon and Point
Barrow, and occupying an area larg-
er than the state of Maine. He does
not say that there is much oil there,
but the expedition must 60 in from
the Yukon in the winter, by dog
team, in order to be on the ground
long enough this year to do much
exploring and mapping. There seems
to be no doubt that bear, moose
and muskox are to be eound in the
reserve, but its early development as
chief base of fuel supply for the
navy is not anticipated by practical
oil men.

had happened, as if everything were
for the best in the best possible
world. Even if the negroes in Cuba
are dubbed into submission, Moros
are done to death in the PHILIPPINES,
Columbia's trade is ruined on the
New York Exchange in order to get
command subsequently of the fin
ances of this country, if coups d'etat
are manufactured in Central Amer
lea and revolutions set on foot in
Mexico, even then Gompers will find
that everything is perfectly alright.
Thus it is certainty that Gompers
will not say anything at all. But
events will speak for themselves with
all the more clearness. The policy
of the U. S. A. in the Mexican ques-
ton spells the conquest of Mexico.
In 1920 the American capitalists sup
ported Obregon's revolution, namely
the left parties against Carranza,
with the object of downing the ma
tional bourgeoisie which is dependent
on Great Britain. At present at the
end of 1928, when trade and indus
tries are mostly under American con-
troll, the capitalists are supporting
and furthering the revolution of this
same bourgeoisie against the parties
Of the Electromagnetic and against
the organizations of the proletariat.
In Mexico the position of the bour-
geoisie on the one hand and of the
Electromagnetic on the other hand,
is as follows: The national bour-
geoisie can only assume political
power if it throws itself into the
arms Of American capitalism, while
the only chance of the Mexican petty
bourgeoisie assuming political power
lies in the support Of the wide masses
of workers and peasants.
Hence, Mexico's future inevitable
struggle against the u. S. A., will be
a struggle of Mexican workers and
peasants against capitalism and
against the relics Of feudalism..
But the question of U. S. A. domi-
nation in Mexico is not only a Next
can, but above all, an American ques-
ton. The working class Of the u. S.
A. must be aware that the success of
the American policy of expansion
would spell defeat for the American

from the Party.
