try dared to limit the exploitation
carried on by U. S. oil companies and
other big corporations. The oil COM
panies, openly and unitedly defying
the Mexican laws, refuse to register
their property with the Mexican gov
ernment. They support the attempts
Of the reactionary Catholic leaders to
stir up revolt. 1t is not unlikely that
they are subsidizing such reyolts, as
an opening wedge for armed interven-
ton by the United States.
Mexico Strong.
Intervention in Mexico would be
quite different thing from interven-
ton in Nicaragua. This would be
real war, against nation of 15,000,-
900 people, backed by all Latin Amer
lea. Many times 14,600 troops would
have to be called out before the
struggle was fairly under way. Thou
sands of Mexican and American
workers would be called upon to give
up their lives for the sake of oil-im-
perialism.
If desperate and bloody war is to
be avoided, all possible forces must
be modified against it. Latin Amer
lea can he depended upon to render
all possible support to any Latin
American country attacked by Amer
lean Imperialism. We call upon you,
workers and farmers of the United
States, to stand with us against i'm
perialist attack.
Join with Latin People.
The people of Latin America do not
consider you their enemies, even
when the armies of U. S. imperialism
ARE forming against them. We know
that the lords of Wall Street and
Washington are no particular friends
of yours.
Join with u.s. Together we shall be
able to defeat the aims of the. i'm
.perialists!
You can cripple the plans of ag-
gression by protesting, demonstrat-
ing, going on strike if necessary!
Demand the immediate withdrawal
of United States forces from Nicara-
qua!
Demand recognition of the Sacasa
government of Nicaragua!
Demand hands off Mexico!
Demand withdrawal of U. S. mill
tary and naval forces from China!

POPE, FASCISTs
NEAR Open War
FOR SUPREMACY
Breach, Now Apparent, ,
Is Growing
ispeeIaI 20 rha paiIy worker,


ROME, Jan. 13. The catholic
church and the fascist government,
the two most powerful political or
sanizations in Italy, are near an open
break. This is the prediction that is
made based on open and secret &C
tivIties of the vatican and of Mus
solini, that observers say are rapidly
making for warfare between the
church and state.
The pope is already conducting a
move Of passive resistance to the fas-
cist regime. Fear that it will lose its
spiritual power over Italy II fasoism
is allowed to dominate the activities
and thoughts Of the people, has caus-
ed Pope Plus xl to declare virtual
war on fascism.
Opposition to the domination of Mus
solini by the clergy has been smoul-
dering for some time, but diplomatic
concessions on both sides have here
tofore averted open antagonism. Mus
solini has consciously attempted to
spread the impression that he and the
vatican are on the best of terms and
are working in complete harmony.
This impression is now being pierced
by the pope himself.
Schools and Banks Involved.
Two main issues, outside of the an
cient struggle of church VS.. state,
have appeared on the horizon, threat
ening to either destroy the power of
fascism or of the church. They are
In the interference Of the government
in the education of the children and
the attempt of the fascists to domin-
ate the catholic banking system. To
force the catholic banks to loan mon
ey to the government, Mussolini has
issued orders that fascists be elected
in all cases on the bank directorates.
These orders have been carried out
by force, in some instances.
Pope wakes Statement.
Actions of the fascist government
have been condemned by statement
drawn at a secret consistory at the
vatican recently. Some statements in
the document follow:
at seems that an obscure menace,
confirmed by clouds of suspicion, in
reference, and difficulties, hovers
over the activities of the catholic ac-
ton organization, which is the apple
of our eye.
Education Enlarged.
'It seems that the task of educa-
ton of Christian youth, which is an
important part of our divine, mission,
is endangered.
at seems that there is a concep-
tion of the state which cannot be
catholic, which absorbs and monopo-
Lies everything, which makes the
citizens believe the state end is again
being emphasized.
Calls Fascists Enemies.
at seems the ministers of religion
are treated in a fashion unworthy of
their calling. 1t seems that laws and
provisions, in themselves good, are
being enforced and interpreted in
many cases by men, who, under new
names and new banners, remain ene-
mics to society and religion"
Officials Uneasy.
This statement has caused much
uneasiness In ranks OF high fascist
officials, who are reluctant to precipi-
tate an immediate open break with
the church. Mussolini is attempting
to pacify the pope by praising him at
every opportunity. The attitude of
the church has been to accept con-
cessions from the government, as if
they were its due, and to give none.
How long present strained conditions
can exist without actual war is mat
ter for conjecture.

Nominate Member for

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 13. - Mill
fancy was the policy of Farmer-Labor
members Of the Minnesota house Of
representatives when it opened its
new session here. Discarding the pol
icy that they should submit to control
OF the old line parties and depend
on getting what Legislation is given
to them, leaders of the Farmer-La-
borites placed one Of their own mum.
Der in nomination for speaker of the
house.
Starkey Nominated.
Frank T. Starkey, member of the
house for two terms from st. Pau
was nominated. Altho Starkey was
defeated, part of the defeat being due
to the non-support of some of the
FL. members, the definite entrances
of the party into the fight for con-
troll of the legislature is seen as o
signal for new militancy on the part
of the Farmer-Labor members.
The nomination of a Farmer-Labor
solon for speaker showed the exist.
ence of two schools" in the FL.
ranks. One group, led by Chauncey
Peterson of Duluth, opposed any at
tempt to elect a Farmer-Labor rep
resentative as a speaker.
Peterson co2tended that the repub-
licans, out of the goodness of their
heart" would give the Farmer-Labor
Legislators something if they proved
harmonious and kindly"
Fight "co-operation."
This argument was met by the
more progressive leaders, Nellermoe,
Enstrom, Nelson, Davis, and Starkey,
who declared the fight was not an iso
lated one, but would continue for
many sessions, and the Farmer-La
borites must so align themselves
with reactionaries with the hope Of
obtaining a few crumbs"
Those who voted for Starkey were:
Atwood, Barsness, Dalager, Davis
Day, Enstrom, Erickson, Holm, Kra-
mer, Lagerstedt, Lodin, McDonough
Melby, Nelson, Olson, Hosetter, Sal
monson, Samec, Spelbrink, and Thor
kelson.
Contest seat of Ftp.
The attempt of the reactionary leg
islators' to deprive Emil S. Young
dahl, Farmer-Labor representative
elect from the S5th district, is hold
ing the attention of the legislature.
H. B. Rutledge, who was defeated,
has foisted himself on the house.
The first returns of the election in
that district gave Rutledge the vic
tory, but investigation revealed
crookedness in the ballot counting,
and subsequent recounting gave
Youngdahl a clear majority. Rut-
ledge, however, appeared in the
house, and was seated. An investi-
cation by the house has been ordered.
