Current Events
By T. J. 0'Flahsyty

ANOTHER counter-revolution has
n broken out in Mexico and the
Gales government, supported by the
trade union movement and the Com
munist Party is taking drastic steps
to crush it. Already two of the chief
military leaders of the revolt have
been executed and many of our capl-
talist papers, even some of those that
have been friendly to Mexico, regret
that Gales was not able to convince
the opposition that change OF gov
ernment could be accomplished with
out recourse to armed force. lntelll-
gent people do not waste time dis
cussing the folly of dropping lighted
cigarettes in the underbrush when a
forest fire is raging.
THE latest outburst in Mexico is only
/ another attempt of the feudalists,
supported by the international mach
inc of the catholic church and fl
nanced by Wall Street to overthrow
the Calles-Obregon combination which
has been thorn in the side OF Amer
lean Imperialism since the overthrow
of Carranza and particularly since
the defeat of the De La Huerta re-
volt. Gales and Obregon are the
leaders of the social forces in Mexican
life whose historical mission it is to
crush feudalism and with it the catho-
lie church which is the political as
we'll as the spiritual expression of
feudalism in Mexico.
WHILE Gales is no friend of labor,
w simply using the workers and
peasants as instruments in his strug-
gle against the big landowners and
the catholic church, his regime has
done much to eradicate illiteracy and
thus help prepare the ground for the
next step in the transformation of the
country from a nation of serfs into
a nation of emancipated workers and
peasants. The rising Mexican bour-
goisie at this period are on the side
of human progress, in so far as they
are fighting against the mighty power
of American imperialism which seeks
to fasten its grip on South America
from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn.
let those shallow-pated or dishonest
Il American scribblers who sneer at
the Mexican people because of their
alleged disability to govern them
selves according to the political code
of Cicero, Illinois or the Ku Klux
Klan, bark back to the period follow
ing the successful rebellion of the
American colonists against Great
Britain, when the country was torn
by dissension and revolt. If Mexico
had no oil or other precious minerals
in her soil, there would be no revolts
because Wall Street would not care to
spend any money financing them. It
is now the duty of every American
worker and sincere opponent of i'm
perialism to give the utmost aid to the
Gales government in the present
crisis.

PEASANT RISINCS
new THREAT TO
CHINA REACTION
Ruined Masses Take Up
Arms Against Govt

SHANGHAI, Oct. THE Chinese
papers report that ten districts of the
Tientsin region are rampant with dis
satisfaction of the peasants who are
utterly ruined by the endless military
operations.
In many villages the population has
formed various partisan detachments
which have established iasons with
the Red Spears, the peasant military
organizations.
The partisan detachments are well
armed as the population collected
arms from the battlefields after the
retreat of the various armies that
have fought in that region.
The papers point out that the armed
detachments have actually grown to
serious proportions in the struggle
against the government troops. These
cletachments number many thousands
of men well-trained in guerilla war
fare and are grave menace to the
reactionaries trying to suppress the
revolution.
Force Attack on Peking.
PEKING, Oct. 7.-Revolutionary
groups, formed thruout the provinces
Of Chill, Shansi and Shantung, nom
inally held by the "Ankuochun" or
"Army for the Pacification of the
Country" as the military alliance be-
tween Marshal Tso-lin and other
generals is called, are forcing the
present campaign against Peking, in
the opinion of observers here.
At present the lines of battle have
advanced to within thirty miles of
Pelting. General Feng Yu-hsiang's
troops are attacking toward Tenchow,
toward Tsining and Teinan, and to-
ward Suchowfu-all important mill
tary positions south of Peking. The
Nanking armies are planning TO join
Feng Yu-hsiang at Suchowfu and
Tsinan. The governor of Shansi prov
ince, the "model tuchun," Yen Hal
shan, is engaged in battle with Chang
Tso-lin's Fengtien troops at Nankow
pass, and at Paotingfu. Nankow pass
is only thirty miles from Peking, but
is considered strong defensive posi-
ton.

 matter of changing the fire dis
 trict limits should be gone into and
 he had expected that q report with
 recommendations would be received
 from the building inspector and fire
 chief. Their letter stated that ther felt a sufficiently large area was

 fire hazard in the city has been
 lessened through adoption of the building ordinances during the past
 year. particularly the provisions for fire proof roofing on garages
 and three-family houses anywhere
 within the city limits. The only
 change they recommended is in
