War, Is Warning

Following its receipt Of yesterdays
telegram from President Gales Of
Mexico, the Workers (communistl
Party has issued a statement calling
upon the workers Of this country TO
rally to the support Of Mexico and to
make it impossible for American I'm
perialism to carry thru its plans Of
aggression.
c. E. Ruthenberg, general secretary
of the party, has also written to the
Mexican president assuring him that,
as set forth in the statement already
referred to, the Communists are not
deceived by the stories Of so-called
religious persecution circulated to
work up sentiment against the Mexi-
can people nor by lurid tales of out
RACES committed upon American cit
izens, such as those given out by Sen
ator King and others. American
workers know" continues the state
ment, chat American capitalism,
which these gentlemen represent, has
committed untold outrages against the
American workers, has jailed and
slaughtered thousands of them, and is
even now ready to slaughter both
Mexican and American workers"
The full text of the statement is as
follows:
ITO the American Workers:
American Imperialism, which for
fifteen years has plotted and planned
to fasten its death grip upon the sister
republic to the south Of US, is now on
the march.
"The threats that have been made
to force her to change her oil and
Hand laws, the wrecking Of the mixed
claims commission by the U. S. rep
resentative, the secret maneuvers Of
the state department-these things
mean that the assault against Mexico
has begun in earnest. No one can say
when an open break will come. The
situation is precarious.
Mexico is courageously defending
her independence. refusing to concede
an inch to the imperialistic power that
threatens her. But Mexico is weak
and the forces Of Wall Street and
Washington are strong. 1t is to the ex-
plotted workers in the home country
of Imperialism that every victimized
nation looks for aid. The American
workers must not fail their Mexican
brothers in this crisisl
American workers know that the
) unprecedented demands upon Mexico

banking monopolists-of Wall Street
