Three Chileans, opponents of the
Ibanez dictatorship, the senator for
Santiago, Luis Salas Romo, the dep

Merry and Professor Carlos Vicuna,
who were exiled to the extreme south
of the icy Chilean territory, below the
Straits of Magellan, escaped and ar
rived in the Argentine port of Gale
COS in the southern part of Patagonia.
There they were arrested by the Ar
gentine police who refused to allow
them to communicate with their
friends or even with the higher Ar
gentine authorities. They were pre-
vented from appealing to the courts
or to lawyers and after four days
were extradited to the Chilean police
who took them back to Punta Arenas,
south of the Straits of Magellan.

New Unity Scheme
In Latin America

A new organization for the promo
ton of better understanding among
Latin-American peoples was promot-
ed in Rio de Janeiro.
Up to this date there was very lit
tie of that movement in Brazil on ac-
count of the differences of languages,
BraziPs language being Portuguese,
while that of all other Latin-American
countries is Spanish. Brazilian intel
lectuals objected to the "Hispano-
-"''1~r"'o" TOO much pronounced
in the aspirations of the Latin-Amer-
49,, l-uu.uals who favor Spanish
influence. The Brazilians and many
other Latin-Americans prefer the ex-
preston bero-Americanism" which
includes the Brazilians deriving their
history and culture from Portugal.
The name of the new organization
in Rio de Janeiro is Approximation
Latin-Americano" and the founders,
intellectuals, professors, journalists
declare it is their purpose to develop
artistic and literary interchange, to
establish special courses on Latin
Americanism and to organize a bu-
reau for reciprocal information on
and about the various countries of
Latin America.

is one of Mexico's largest creditors.
While foreign payments for 1928
total 107O00,000 pesos (S53,000,0001,
Mexico will probably find herself un-
able to pay more than 32,000,000
pesos, the Gel Universal Grafico"
says.
In announcing yesterday that it
would present the international bank
ers with a financial statement of the
Governments finances, the Ministry
of Finance issued the following state
ment:
According to the latest data col
lection of various federal revenues
has been falling off since last Janu-
ary," it says, principally in the coll
umns corresponding to imports and
exports.
Cup to October last, the decrease
in revenue, both in those Of perma-
nent character and the supplementary
ones, amounts to more than 100000
pesos, equivalent to S20,000,OO0 United
States money.
'In spite of this reduction due to
innumerable factors, among which are
the general restriction of activities
and the psychological depression
which business has undergone, par
ticularly during the present year, the
government has been able to meet its
international obligations and has not
failed to care for the public services.
To cover these though it has had the
necessity of imposing strict regime
of retrenchment. For payment of
the obligations it found itself forced
to ask for a loan of $2,000,000 with
which it liquidated its pending obi
cations for payment of the public
debt in the first semester of 1927.
Must Limit Budgets.
"The Department of Finance esti-
mates its income for 1928 at 280,000,-
900 pesos, to which it must limit its
disbursement budget in order to carry
out the general government program
with balanced budget.
Attention is called to the fact that
in the income columns for 1928, the
one corresponding to petroleum has
been eliminated, since it is considered
that it can not be held as assured
income"

1t is consequential and reach
ing decision the Australian Trade
Unions have made in deciding to af-
filiate toss the Pan-Pacific Trade
Union Movement. 1t is also natural
that the Australian movement should
be enthusiastic regarding the future
development of the P. P. T. U.
1t was in December, 1922, that the
Australian delegates raised the ques-
ton of organizing a Pan-Pacific
movement at the second congress of
the Red International of Labor
Unions. They gave as a reason for
their timely suggestion the urgent
need for combating future capitalist
war in the Pacific.
The organized Australian workers,
probably more than the workers of
any other country, were conscious
during the great war that, with the
aid of traitors like Hughes. they were
being drawn into the Temple of jan
US, and that the workers We're being
sent to slaughter, and to be slaught-
cred, solely in the interests of the
British capitalist class. The over
whelmine vote against conscription
during the war proved this.
War Danger.
The Pan-P acif;c Trade Union Con-
ference drew attention to the dangers
of war between the various capitalist

tion has been given to this question
by TIE workers around the Pacific.
The momentous nature of this de-
cision to affiliate is lest if we do
not, at the same time, consider the
antagonistic capitalist orces- The
rivalry between the great imperialist
powers is constantly increasing. The
conflicts between the Japanese and
the British commercial interests in
China are bound to become more
acute. in spite of the fact that Cham
berlain is forever pressing Tokyo for
assistance against the Soviet Union

Japan In Manchuria.
The aggressive policy of Japan in
Manchuria if allowed to freely run
it's course will not be confined to
north China, for although Japan re-
linquished Shantung upon instructions
of the Washington Conference, they
have not abandoned this Chinese prov
ince as a Japanese sphere of influ-
ence, to say the last. "A few more

lead to clashes both with British and

of western Imperialism, as well as
Japanese minions, use the bloodiest
methods to crush the rising revolu-
tionary spirit which gives rise to the
building of real trade unions in the
above mentioned countries. The i'm
portant decision to create a Pan-Pa-
cific Affairs Committee will make the
affiliation real living contact with
every trade union in the Pacific zone,
and will bring unity where none ex-
lists today. This is what the en-
rloyers dread. It is a prelude to the
end of capitalism. The urgent and i'm
mediate tasks of aiding and strength
ing our weaker units in the various
countries will be greatly assisted by
the additional weight the Australian
trade unions have thrown into the
scales against the imperialist bandits
of Holland, England, America. etc.
Blow to War Mongers.
There is another thing, however;
we must not be disheartened by the
recent decisions of the British Trade
Union Congress to break up the An
glo-Russian Unity Committee and to
cooperate with the murderous mas
ters who are slaughtering the East

4. S., Mexican Labor Officials
Outla1U Chinese Immigration

MEXICO CITY, (By mail). - AS
the result of the secret agreements
between the American Federation of

AS there was considerable demand

exclusion of Mexican labor from the
United States, the GROIN entered into
secret agreement to take measures
to prevent Mexican immigration into

F. of L. was also opposed), provided
that no. formal legislation would be

In addition, Mexican labor in the
