Mexican FedOraIS
Move to Suppress
Fanatic Uprisings

MEXICO CITY, Oct; 2. - The
Mexican Government has taken ur-
gent steps to quell new attempts at
oil-inspired revolts in widely scattered
portions of the country, according to
reports received here today.
Seven men are reported under ar
rest here awaiting trial on charges
of conspiracy for a revolutionary
movement. The police are reported
to have seized considerable ammuni-
ton. One arrest has been made in
Tampico and boxes of cartridges
seized by the authorities.
Government forces have been sue
cessful in checking the activities of
rebellious Catholic fanatics in GUIANA
juato, under the leadership of Gerv-
aso Mendoza. The fanatics are re-
ported to have attacked the town of
Vale Santiago but to have been de-
feated and driven off by the Govern
ment troops after full day of fight
ing. No casualties have been re-
ported.

The Rise of Reaction in Wuhan

that of Ii Chi-hsin or that of Chang
Kai-shek.
VOW could it be? The trade unions
Al have all been raided and rum
mayed in true Chang Tso-lin fashion
by Nationalist troops under omnipo-
tent reactionary generals. Not a sim
gle trade union is open today in the
Wuhan cities.
The trade union leaders are either
under arrest (if not executed) or
have been forced to flee. Martial law
is the order of the day. Strikes are
forbidden and trade union organizers
are outlawed.
Every movement for the improve
ment of the condition Of the workers
is branded as Communist and is pun
ishable by death.
THE trades and peasants unions in
A the Human, Hupeh and Kiangsi
provinces have been destroyed and
many leaders and active workers eX-
ecuted. Reaction reigns supreme and
has become brazenly daring.
WUHAN today is stifled with pos
" tiers and proclamations issued
and distributed by the reactiOnaries,
calling for the complete destruction
of the trade unions.
The leaders of the All-China Labor
Federation and the Hupeh General
Labor Union are being hunted down
like criminals. Proclamations by the
Government, the Military Council
and the counter-revolutionary garri-
son commander offer big rewards for
the denunciation and arrest of labor
leaders and strike agitators.
ONLY the other day the Chairman
" and two secretaries of the Wharf
Coolies Union were arrested by gar
rison troops on the charge that they
were instigating the workers to a
general strike.
Executions of workers and active
trade unionists take place daily in
Wuhan. Many of the most active ar
senal workers of Hanyang have been
executed.
The Peoples Tribune" of August
5, carries the following news item:
Wang Fang-shin, reactiOnary, was
executed by order of Wuhan Garrison
Headquarters on Wednesday (Aug.
81. He was discovered to have plot
ted for a general strike. :"
THE "Hankow Herald" Of the>same
date reports that on Aug. 3, about
ten former workers of the British
Cigarette Co., being officials of the
BCC Workers Union, were arrested
and handed over to garrison head
quarters, charged with instigating
local labor to a general strike. (They
have probably met with the same
fate)
The Peoples Tribune" Of Aug. II,
reports that twenty-five "commu-
nists" including the chairman of the
KiGkiang General Labor Union were
executed in that city by order of the
Nationalist Government.
DOES all this not recall the days of
" Sun Chuan-Fang in Shanghai or
of WI Pei-fu in Hankow? The
cynicism of the Wuhan counter-revo-
lutionarids surpasses the morbid bes-
TALLY of a Mussolini. When the Ital-
ian Fascist Generalissimo murders
trade unionists and revolutionaries,
ne at least does not charge the vic
tins with being reactionaries and

This the International Workers
Delegation could then do freely, for
the Trades and Peasants Unions
were free and strong and thriving
without any hindrance on the part Of
the reactionary forces.
The social revolution was begin
ming to shoot its roots deeply into
the soil freshly titled by the political
revolution.
The agrarian revolution was begin
ming to sweep certain sections of Ma
tionalist territory with it's mighty
waves.
THREE months ago, representatives
of over fourteen million trade
unionists of China, Korea, Java. U.
s. S. R., England, U. S. A. and France
met in Wuhan at the Pan-Pacific
Trade Union Conference, whose first
word was spoken in condemnation of
imperialist invasion of China, and
whose first appeal was to the work
ers of the Pacific and of the whole
world to come to the active support
of the Chinese Revolution.
AS with the International Workers
Delegation, so at the Pan-Pacific
Trade Union Conference, representa-
tives of the Kuomintang and of the
Nationalist Government made grandi-
loquent declarations about the deci-
sive role played in the revolution by
the Chinese proletariat, the peasantry
and the Trade Unions; they declared
solemnly that never, NEVER would
the Nationalist Government deceive
or betray the workers and peasants.
CHORTLY after the Pan-Pacific
y Conference, there was convened,
also in Wuhan, the Fourth Trade
Union Congress of the All-China La
Dor Federation.
Representatives from all parts of
the country, even from provinces still
in the hands of the Northern, South
ern, Eastern and Western militarists
and reactionaries, gathered in Han
kow, reported on the condition of the
workers in the various sections of the
country, and breathing inspiration
from the revolutionary atmosphere of
Wuhan and from the revolutionary
experience and militancy of the Chi
nese proletariat and it's leadership,
they jointly adopted mementous deci-
sions which were to acid-test their
own strength and the revolutionary
character of the Nationalist Govern
ment.
HERE too, eloquent representatives
IA Of the Nationalist Government and
of the Kuomintang assured the dele
gates that the two main moving
forces of the revolution were the
workers and peasants, and that the
Nationalist Government would and
could never betray the interests Of
these two classes which constituted
the mainstay of the Chinese Revo-
luton.

Later on, our other Youth Leagues
realized their weakness, and many Of
them, for instance the Swedish,
Czech, and German, took up work
with increased vigor.
The sailors and soldiers already in
China have not been forgotten by our
propaganda, and last month the
French sailors newspaper: "Jean lie
Goulin," published an appeal from
the French sailors in Shanghai. This
proves to us that the sailors of the
imperialist countries, even those al
ready in China, realize what role the
bourgeoisie wants them to play
Again, we hear reports of serious
conflicts among the troops from In
dia, and the arrest of some of our
comrades will not be able to hinder
the will to determination among the
soldiers of India.
In conclusion, it must also be
pointed out that of late we have
gained valuable experience in anti
militarist work, thanks to our fight
against the intervention in China and
in defence of the Soviet Union. The
various inperialist countries organ
lied a number of cruiser trips and
mutual visits of fleets during the
course of this present summer. Great
Britain and France, for instance,
have exchanged visits; Itali a n
ships have visited Rouman
French ships South America, and a
whole British Squadron has cruised
in the Baltic, visiting Denmark, Nor
way, Sweden, Finland, etc. This
visit of the British fleet to the
Northern waters looked very like a
manoeuvre in preparation of a war
against the Soviet Union.
British All Try.
Our British Youth comrades en-
deavored to reach the sailors, after
they had left England, by means of
leaflets distributed to them at the
various ports on their way. The
Communist Youth of Denmark. Nor
way, etc. met them at every port with
leaflets and appeals. In Norway sew
erai of our comrades are still per-
secuted by the police on account of
this.
Similar work has been organized
by our British and French Youth or
CARNATIONS. If we wish to gain an
idea of the influence exercised by this
agitation upon the sailors, we only
need to refer to the letter sent bv
French sailors to "L'Humanite." It
need not be said that these leaflets
and appeals have reused the interna-
tional bourgeoisie to the highest pitch
OF excitement, and their press eyery
where, in Sweden. in Norway, the
Daily Mail" in England, the LIB
erie" and the "Temps," in France. are
full of indignant outcries at these
, dirty communists" This interna-
tional anti-miltarist work shows that
we are making great progress. and
that this is the line of activity to
which we must devote our greatest
efforts.
At the present moment, with the
war danger at our doors, with the
revolution of the Chinese workers
and peasants threatened with defeat,
with the hostility of all capitalist
countries directed against Soviet Rus
STA, the Y. c. /. must redouble it's

Our economic struggle for the de-
fence of working Youth, our sport
movement, and the whole of our
work, must be directed to the prole-
tartan military preparation of the
Youth. 1t is only in this way that we
can succeed in victorious defence

Smithsonian botanist. In the 1S40s
an outstanding Danish collector, An
ders Oersted. spent three years in
Costa Rica and Nicaragua, gathering
the first plant specimens ever taken
from those countries. Oersted was
very able and very active. He made his
way to the most remote places; he
climbed all four of the big volcanoes of
Costa Rca and collected on all of
them. He was SO thorough that he
gathered many plants which no one
has been able TO find since. From Mic.
aragua he took out the most impor-
tant collection that has ever been
made there.
Returning to the University Botani-
cal Museum at Copenhagen with his
specimens, Oersted published names
and descriptions of many of them. In
other cases he merely wrote some
names of species on the sheet, and the
plants were left TO wait for some stu
dent interested in the region to work
them up for publication. They have
been waiting ever since.
In the same decade another Danish
naturalist, Frederick Lehman. set
out from Copenhagen for southern
Mexico, where he spent two years
actively gathering plants. His collec-
tion is famous and particularly val
