COMPANY DOPE FOR
THEIR SLAVES
BY Rebeeea crscht

6J Hepecea 1recnt
Tells how the capitalists are
trying to splice the sundered
bonds between employe and
employer by the use Of com
pa1y organs. Humble indeed
is the concern that has not its
weekly or monthly dope sheet
to tickle the funny bones Of
the workers into the feeling
that they are part OF the bust
ness. They areas much as
a common soldier is part Of a
war. They do the work. This
excellent article is illustrated
by the noted cartoonist JER-
GER.

U. S. INTERESTS
own FOURTH OF
mex. RESOURCES
Are Same Group That
Control Here

BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.
The right of American. muItl-milIon-
aires to exploit for their own profit
is challenged by the Mexican people.
That is the meaning of the present
Mexican crisis, as is forcefuIly pointed
out by William p. Helm in the Chicago
journal Of Commerce. This business
paper tells the world that American
interests have grabbed at least one
fourth Of the wealth of Mexico.
The Americans behind the pressure
Of the American government on Mex
leo, says Helm, are "the Morgan in
terests, the Standard Oil interests, the
Penrose interests, the Sinclair inter-
ests, the Guggenheim interests, the
Mellon interests, the CoIeman-Ryan
interests, the Bethlehem Steel inter
ests, the Southern Pacific interests,
the Kuhn-Loeb interests, the Henry
poherty Interests and the interests Of
other wealthy Americans and Ameri-
can corporations"
Have Support of Kellogg.
This reads like catalog of the cap
italist oligarchy which controls the
economic life of the United States.
According to Helm, the state depart
ment is supporting their plan to ex-
tend that domination to Mexico.
This group of powerful corporations,
says Helm, owns from one-fourth to
one-third of all Mexican resources, d.
vided as follows:
