HANDS OFF
Continued from Pace One)

Knights of Columbus. no direct refer
ence was made in the statement of
| the governments position to the petit
ton of that order asking that the
! United States intervene to protect
| Catholic church men in their dis
pute with President Gales of Mexico.
Neither was there any reference to
the position of James r. Sheffield.
American ambassador to Mexico, who
is en- route to the United States for
a vacation and a personal report to
his superiors on the situation in that
country. There have been indications
that Mr.. Sheffield would like to see
stiffening of the Washington gov
crnments attitude in its oil lands
controversy with Mexico. He is to
confer with Mr.. kellogg in WASH
ington next week but whether later
ne VIII come to the summer White
House has not been announced.
Whenever the rights of American
citizens as to their person or pro-
perty are infringed in foreign
country. it was made clear. the
American government will do what
1t can to see they are duly respected.
Insofar as the religious controversy
in Mexico is concerned, it was added.
Secretary Kellogg has knowledge of
but one specific complaint. as dis
tlnguished from any general COM
plant, concerning the taking of
church property in Mexico. That
specific complaint was lodged with
Ambassador Sheffield, who, it was
said, made representations to the
Mexico City government and was in
formed that the case would be adj
justed.
In reference to the oil lands con-
troversy, which has been marked
from time to time by the dispatch of
notes from Washington to Mexico
City. 1t was said that Mexico had
made large concessions to the de-
mands of the United States on this
question but there still were a num-
Der of matters in this regard that
have not been definitely determined.
The state department for the most
part has conducted it's oil lands cor
respondence with the Mexican for
eign office without reference of many
details to the White House, acting
under general policy laid down by
President Coolidge that accords with
the agreements entered into by the
United States and Mexico three
years ago as a condition of recogni-
ton by the United States of the re-
public to the south.
AS a general rule, 1t was said to-
day, it is difficult to say whether
American citizens have suffered in
dignities in Mexico, as that is
broad term.
Some Americans have been expell-
ed from Mexico, it was added. under
article 33 of the Mexican constitution,
which gives to the government the
right to eXpel foreigners. But when
ever it has appeared that this au-
thority has been used against
Americans without any action on the
part of the person against whom 1t
has been used that would justify its
use. 1t was added. 1t has been the
practice Of the American ambassador
at Mexico City to intercede-some-
times successfully and sometimes un-
successfully.

able also to withdraw Senator Hale

that he can be used more effectively

Tours continue until the Thursday

would, IL the original plan were fol-

further speaking. Furthermore the
itinerary is such that If he should
speak on alternating nights for the

would be forced to spend a consid-
cradle part of the intervening days
in doubling back and forth over the
State to fill his engagements. 1t
will be much more advantageous to
give him Independent assignments

We had real crisis-in The DAILY
WORKER.
The result of this fireworks display
was that we were compelled to admit
after the election that our candidate
had received something like 1000
votes.
The socialist press laughed at us.
They had perfect right to. We
had made ourselves ridiculous without
any effort on the part of the socialist
party being needed.
Another instance is of more recent
date. 1t occurred last month in con-
nection with our anti-imperialist cam
paign.
The seven column streamer was:
Launch Attack on U. S. Tyranny"
Underneath this in a three column As
point black Italic three line head is,
Rally Workers on Two Continents
to Oppose the Oppression of Peru"
All very well but nothing happens
in America. The American workers
just now are not even rallying to op-
pose their own oppressors and such
trumpet calls from a paper with $4,000
circulation, it must be admitted, are
not likely to rally any considerable
section of the American proletariat.
A MOTHER instance is that of the
"A treatment of the Pittsburgh con-
vention of the steel workers. The
headline on this memorable occasion
when the left wing made no fight at
all was:
LEFT Wing Issue at Pittsburgh"
The Issue" consisted in President
Tighe attacking the Communists and
the left wing impartially without the
left wing being well-organized enough
to fight back. The members of the
union knew there was no fight.
Such stridency of tone defeats it's
own purpose. 1t is all very we'll to
say that all these startling announce
ments deal with matters of funda-
mental importance to our party and
the working class. But the working
class does not know this and it
cannot be made to know it by yelling
