time.
The incoming new national bour
geoisie, big and small, the thousands
Of army officers and government en-
ployes discharged by the Gales re
gime following his plan of economy
to pay the foreign national debts, the
bigger part of the army, the peasant
masses and the defeated Partidos
Coaligades Regionales in the last cleo
<toral campaign.
THERE is a third party which will
play the villain role in the whole
Mexican political film. That is the
fully reactionary party with its forces
already in line: the catholic church,
the big old national land and indus
trial capitalism and foreign (oil, mines
and transport) part of the mercenary
officers of the army, at whose head
will be General Arnulfo r, Gomez, the
fascist militarist candidate of all these
powerful reactionary forces for presi-
dent of Mexico, now commander in
chief of the 10th army zone, with head
quarters at the port of Vera Cruz.
The most dangerous part of the
game could be the case of an alliance
Of the last-named party with the So
cialists-laborites combination against
the Obregonista party, tho very doubt
full, because they will not have the
support of the great masses. More
over, Gen. Arnulfo r. Gomez, an ex-
tremely ambitious fellow, would not
make an alliance unless he is chosen
as candidate for president, and that
would be a pretty hard job to fill for
the socialist-laborites.
TT is admitted by everyone who
L knows about politics in Mexico now
adays that there will be a revolution
to elect the next Mexican president.
Thus we see already as candidate of
the Obregonista partyS in spite OF his
high official post, General Francisco r.
Serrano, governor Of the federal dis
trict.
But it is understood that he is only
screen for General Obregon, who
will step in at the very moment that
the nation needs his services to re-
store peace" and, consequently, he Will
occupy the presidential seat for the
second time, whether the 1917 consti-
tuition has been amended or not.
The socialists-laborites alliance"
will have tough time to select one
candidate to get support from both
factions. Their leaders, CamDillo
Seyde and Morones, are out of the
race already.
In exchange there are mentioned the
names of Colonel Tejeda, the crafty
Gales interior minister, and Denegri,
former agriculture minister in the
Obregon government, now a Mexican
diplomatic representative in Ger
many.
THEN there is the candidate Of the
4 whole conservative forces in Mex
leo for president, General Arnulfo +.
Gomez, and who will lead the revolt
against Gales under the assumption
that he, Gales, 'ls trying to impose
another candidate to succeed him
against the will of the Mexican peo.
ple."
Can you see why | said before that
Gales is playing up wise game?
PUT the worst part of the whole
- affair is that we see what is TO
happen (and most probably cannot
help iD; there is no sign of a real
workers and farmers political organi.
zation opposed to the ones described.
Just slight beginning OF such a ten
dency is to be noted in some parts of
the country, but yet without any den-
mite relation among them.
The stronger local parties in some
states as Yucatan, coanuila, Puebla,
Mexico and others are under the rule
Of one of the named national political
movement.
THE old national agrarian party Is
4 dead. Its chief leader. Soto v
Cana, had to compromise to enter "a
a congress representative with the vic.
torious socialists-laborites and vet he
entered as the substitute OF a laborite
representative, that is, Soto CANA
did not enter as an agrarian leader.
1t is to be hoped that the stirring
events that will take place within the
next two years will be fully taken ad
vantage Of by creating a real strong
workers and peasants political party
under the guidance OF the Mexican
Communist Party.
A Mexican Communist.
