Mexican Workers! On Guard!

No amount of capitalist newspaper ink ard
no amount of credulity on the part of unwary
workers can make Luis N. Morones a repre-
sentative of the Mexican working class. Mr.
Morones, as a leader of the Mexican workers,
represents the influence of the Mexican petty
bourgeoisie over the unripe sections of the
workers, and represents Mr.. Morones' own
political career in delivering Mexican workers
support to causes other than that of the Mexi-
can working class.
Morones-an outright careerist and typical
yellow trade union bureaucrat-is as much a
tool of United States imperialism as any man
who could be found in Mexico--if this does not
entirely appear at present, it is only because
Of his limited opportunities.
But the resignation of Morones from the
cabinet of President Gales, where he sat as
minister of industry, commerce and labor as a
reward for his reactionary influence in the
labor movement, is result of pressure from
the clerical reaction on the Gales administra-
ton.
Was there ever a stranger political anomaly
than this? Clerical reaction murdered Obre-
gon. Now the same clerical reaction succeeds
in mobilizing the strongest forces in its own
support with the cry of vengeance for the muir
der of Obregon! The fact that Morones had a
political CdT6eFlSC QudTTel WIN ODT6SOn anu
that Obregon had refused, it is said, to include
Morones in the new cabinet to be formed, is not
enough to explain it. No amount of hysterical
lying by the reactionary press can cover up
the fact that the clerical and landlord reaction
inspired and carried through the assassination
of Obregon. The confession of the assassin
was the confession of a religious fanatic in
trying to justify an assassination for political
purposes. For months the open threats of
murder made by clerical leaders against Obre-
gon had filled the press, and after the assassin
ation boasts came from the same source The
statements of Zertuche,s chief of police in
charge of the case, showed step by step the
trail of the black robe of the clerical party in
the murder. If Mr.. Zertuche is later terrified
into contrary statements, he will have a hard
time making plausible story The church.
and-landlord reaction murdered Oregon
Now the church-and-landlord reaction is
having its own way in stirring up the man.
hunt for its political enemies on the basis of
pretended vengeance for the murder 1t is
absolutely certain that some extraordinary
power is lending assistance to this reaction
This reaction, few months ago, defeated in
bloody counter-revolution and in wild flight is
today apparently the strongest force in Mexi-
can politics. Gales plainly showing in the be-
ginning that he knew the clerical forces COM
mitted the assassination, appears now afraid
or unwilling to touch the Catholic reaction, but
ready to obey its demand for a smashing drive
against the forces of the working class
Already he has given in to the clerical demand
for the busting of what are called labor mem
from office.

NOW comes the creditors lawyers
~ to court seeking relief for his
clients and demands that all but
$4,000 of the income from trust
fund goes to his clients. He figured
that Heckscher could live comfort
ably on $4,000 a year. Supreme
Court Justice Frankenthaler was
highly indignant. He said: "The
court would be extremely hesitant
to grant the plaintiff relief which
will deprive the defendant of a so
substantial portion of an income es-
tablished for him by third party
and compel him to reduce his scale
of living to fit an arbitrary esti-
mate" Mr.. Heckscher formerly
lived at the rate of S150,O00 year.
Figure out for yourself how much
is that per diem.

Ills son, being one of those bust
IL ness men with imagination, went
into bankruptcy leaving 100000
worth of creditors shedding tears.
The creditors took various legal
steps to have something from the
wreckage. 1t might look to the
average scissorbill who owes
weeks room rent that living would
be impossible for a fellow who owes
three. million. But this is only one
of the many proletarian delusions
that keeps the working class where
they are. AS a matter of fact the
bankrupt was only slightly incon-
venienced and he did not deny him
self a single frankfurter because of
his financial miscarriage.

THAT Al Smith has no monopoly

selection of jeremiah Milbank as the
Eastern treasurer to raise dough
for Hoover's vote-buying' campaign.
Milbank is a director in as many

Raskob. This should be big year
for fellows with blocks of votes to
sell. The notoriety that Illinois and
Pennsylvania shared in the last SEN
atorial elections will be spread out
all over the country this year.

Smiths campaign headquarters have
been moved into the General Motors

Hoover has transferred his to the
