Obregon, and he has been continually
adding to his possessions.
Another contributing factor, it is
said, has been the withdrawal Of a
peace subsidy which the government
has been paying to the Yaquis. This
tribute. was inaugurated BY de la
Huerta, the revolutionist of 1924.
Still further factor has been the re-
ligious question. The Yaquis, while
one of the most pagan groups in
Mexico. conserving most of their old
legends, ritual, ETC., were led by Cath
Ollie priests, who had succeeded in
making hybrid religion.
MUCH of the present warlike spirit
A'A has been stirred, up thru fanat-
ical propaganda, The situation is fur
Their complicated by the fact that the
various governments. beginning with
Madero, have supplied the Yaquis with
arms. Thousands of them were we'll
equipped with arms by the govern
ment during the de la Huerta rebellion
several years ago, and most of them
returned TO Sonora with their arms.
The YaQuis present serious ma
tional problem. They are, according
to the Mexican constitution, Mexican
citizens. Many of them have entered
into the so-called civilized environ
ment; many of them, have ,intermar-
ried with regular Mexicans or Mesti-
EOS. Yet, as group, the Yaquis have
remained more or less distinct, and
they have a lurking hatred Of the
central authorities. All outsiders are
known to Yaquis as "Yori," and there
is no greater word of contempt in the
Yaqui language.

ITNHE Soviet government, in renounc.
Ing the sphere Of influence In Per-
STA, and the slavery contracts i'm
posed upon this country by the car.
list government, has enabled the Per-
sian people to concentrate the whole
Iof their powers against reactionary
feudalism in their own country, and
against the Entertainments Of British
Imperialism. The independence of
Persia is heavy blow for imperialist
England, which was anxious to follow
up the great war by interference in
the affairs of the Russian revolution
and by gaining firm foothold on the
rich naptha-yielding shores of the Cas-
plan Sea and the Persian Gulf.
The Soviet government was the
first to recognize the independence Of
Afghanistan, and thus aided the Afghan
people to free themselves from the
usurious Overlordship of British i'm
perialism. The cutlery raised by those
English who derive profits from colon
les and war, at the Soviet danger al
legged to be threatening India from
Afghanistan, merely signifies that the
English imperialists have abandoned
the hope of being able to attack the
Soviet Union from this side.
Japan held the last piece of Soviet
territory in the Far East occupied
during the. intervention. The question
OF North Saghalin was an obstacle
to the settlement of relations between
Japan and the Soviet Union so long
as Japan calculated upon being able
to exploit the weakness of the Soviet
Union. But finally and at last, Japan
was obliged to settle this question in
accordance with the demands Of the
Soviet Union, which showed neither
nervous haste nor weakness in this
chronic conflict with Japan. Saghalin
was finally restored to the Soviet I'm
ion, and at the same time Japan
abandoned her support of the White
Guard bands operating in the Far
East.

The Soviet Union and the Imperialists

the estimation and calculation OF the
secret forces of Franco English antag-
onisms, at a time when England still
appeared to be in very strong po-
sition, could only be made by a d.
plomacy equipped with the methods of
Marxist analysis.
The successive recognitions OF the
Soviet Unions following closely upon
one another during the last two and
a half years, have made even the idea
Of the possibility of a complete isola-
ton of the Soviet Union from the rest
of the world entirely illusory At the
present time there is no state whose
interests are not, in one way or an
other, bound up with those of the So
Wet Union, even though outside Of
the confines Of official recognition: 1t
is solely with Switzerland and Rou-
mania that no relations whatever ex-
list, and the sole reason for this is that
the Soviet government is boycotting
these countries.
The Soviet Union has had to con-
tent itself in Europe and America
with commercial and diplomatic rela-
tons with bourgeois states which
have been driven by economic neces-
sity to recognize the Soviet Union,
but in Asia it has been able to gain
a position as the sole state whose
friendship is anxiously sought after
by all Independent and semi-independ-
ent countries. 1t is true that this in
clination of the eastern peoples to-
wards the Union of Soviet Republics,
and the example given by the sue
cessful struggle Of the peoples of the
Soviet Union against the united
forces Of foreign Intervention, have
drawn down upon the union the deadly
hate of British imperialism. But the
fact that the Turkish republic, for in
stance, has preserved its independ-
ence, is incontestably an item on the
credit side Of the emancipation of the
East, and "a big success for Soviet
policy.

1t need not be emphasized that the
present state Of comparative external
security enjoyed by the Soviet Union
is, for the most part, the result of the
unwearying and systematic work OF
the Soviet country in It's efforts to-
wards the restoration OF It's economics
and the firm establishment of its po-
litical position. The success of this
work is however at the same time
partially due to the fact that the lead
ers Of the foreign policy OF the Soviet
Union, when organizing their relations
with the bourgeois world, have applied
their knowledge of the reciprocal re,
lations and struggle OF forces in the
capitalist state Of society, and have
utilized the analyses of social pro-
cesses bequeathed us by. Marx and En-
gels. Soviet diplomacy contains no
element Of subjectivism, in its estima-
ton of the international situation;
thus, all the achievements and sue
cesses of the Soviet Union in its re-
lations to foreign states have been
foreseen and have been realized as
soon as the necessary conditions were
given.
Soviet Diplomacy ls Marxist.
TT was to be foreseen that the cap
L italist states wouldq be bound to
make an attempt, sooner or later, to
enter into relations with the Soviet
Republics. But the utilization Of the
conference at Genoa as an opportup-
ity for preparing the way to the de
jure recognition OF the Soviet Union
by the most important states of Eu-
rope, depended to a great degree on
the energy and skill Of the Soviet
representatives. Already the con-
clusion of a trade agreement with
England had dealt deadly blow at
the blockade which had been imposed
on the Soviet Republics for number
Of years. 1t cannot, of course, be
maintained that the conclusion of this
agreement fell into the lap of the
Soviet government like ripe fruit. But

Turing nearly 400 years, since the
- first Spanish campaign of subju-
cation in 1888, the Mexican nation has
been at peace with the Yaquis only
about eighty-five years. During the
Diaz epoch, largely because of the
'confscation of land, there was scarce
ly any continued peace. The Yauuis
are warlike, related to the Apache
tribe which caused the United States
so much difficulty. Indeed, the rem
nants Of the warlike Apaches gradu-
ally migrated into Mexico and settled
among the YaQuis.
Many of the Yaqui uprisings have
been provoked by ambitious politi-
clans, seeking to further their own
ends-as, for instance, that of Gen.
Urea and Gov. Gandara, in 1888, who
used the Yaquis against the central
authorities for their own ambitious
purposes.
THE same story has been repeated
many times. During the recent
revolution the Yaquis were used by
Obregon against de la Huerta and be-
fore that against Victoriano Huerta.
Nevertheless, the Yaquis themselves
have little to show for their sacrifices.
The presence of tn Yaquis in the
mountains, of course, prevents any
extended mineral exploitation. Sonora
is one Of the wealthiest mineral states
in Mexico; with fabulous resources in
copper, silver, gold and lead. Here,
in Cananea, are the largest copper
mines in the country Most of this min.
eral wealth which is exploitable be.
