commended by the Communist Inter

now published five issues, is edited, as
well as special manifestoes, leaflets,
etc. Our party has contributed toward
defraying the expenses of the monthly
magazine Ell Libertador and toward
other expenses of the Mexico City
secretariat, but lack OF funds has
made 1t impossible to give adequate
support in this respect.
