MorroWs Conference at the
State Department on Mexico
By H. M. WICKs.

Continued from Last Issue.)
THERE are two policies that will
probably be followed by Morrow.
One will be the familiar policy of try
ing to bride and intimidate the Mexi-
can government. With Obregon the
realization of such a policy is by no
means hopeless. Both Oregon and
Gales have made many concessions to
imperialism. If some method can be
devised whereby the interests of the
native capitalists can be reconciled
with the interests of Wall Street at
the expense of the exploited masses
Of Mexico the government will CAPT
tulate to the imperialist,.
1t is the realization of this posi-
bility that imposes upon the Com
munists Of Mexico, as the vanguard
of the working class and the de-
tenders of the exploited workers and
peasants, the necessity of always
maintaining an Independent policy, of
constantly pointing out the short
comings of the government and of
keeping before the masses the fact
that their power alone is the one
guarantee against the depredations
of Wall Street.
While supporting the government
against the counter-revolution the
Calles-Obregon regime must be driven
forward to ever more aggressive ac-
ton against both sections of Wall
Street now preying upon Mexico-the
financial colossus, the House of Nor
gan, and the gang of oil bandits
around the National City Bank.
By participating in the defense of
the government against the con-
spiracies of the agents of American
imperialism the Mexican masses fight
with arms in hand. This fact is of
tremendous significance in the situa-
ton in that country. Every effort
must be made to arm the population
as the best guarantee against capis
tulation to Imperialism. An armed
working class and an armed peasantry
will not only be able to defend the ma
ton against the plots from the out
side, but will be able to prevent be-
trayal from within. Before any
Mexican government would dare sell
out to Wall Street it would then have
the task of disarming the population
and the first move in that direction
should meet with the fiercest resist
lance. So, while defending the gov
eminent against imperialist con-
spiracies and weakening imperialism
in that country the working class also
equips itself to wage its own class
fight against capitalism.
A second policy that can be pursued
by Morrow is to intrigue with OBJ
position elements in order to pave the
way for a better organized and more
carefully prepared reactionary mill
tary coup. The two policies-that of
winning the Mexican government to
Wall Street and that of melting an
other insurreetion-will not. up to 4
certain point, conflict, but will
mutually compensate one another.
New preparations for instruction can
be used as means of intimidating
the government, which will aid in
convincing it of the necessity of com
ing to terms with Wall Street.
But both policies, or any new ones
that may be devised can be defeated
by the action of the masses of Mexico
under the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party
In this struggle against imperialism
the Mexican workers will have the
full support of the class conscious
elements of the American working
class in war to the end against the
common enemy.
