MEXICO WELCOMES TOURISTS
Tucson Starr

Alberto Mascarenas, managing
director Of the Bank of Mexico,
who has taken a great deal of
interest in the development of
tourist travel, particularly from
the United States, has had a
tourist bureau opened as a part
Of the bank. according to Trens
agency bulletin received from
Mexico City by Juan Evaristo
Anchondo. Mexican consul at
Tucson.
This bureau will be under his
direct supervision, Antonio l..
Rodriguez, formerly Mexican
consul at London, having been
selected to take charge of the
bureau.
II is the purpose of Senor
MascareEas that this bureau con
centrate and co operate with all
efforts which are now being
made to attract tourist trave |
and also to facilitate this in
every way possible.
Due to its outstanding position,
the Bank Of Mexico is ia the
closest touch with all the de
tendencies Of the federal gov.
ernment and also with the busi
ness interests, chamber of com
merce and other civic institu
tiOns.
With the establishment of this
bureau it will bs possible for
prospective travellers to secure
accurate and prompt information
regarding the country in general
and of the points of interest
which they wish to visit in par
ticular. Special efforts will be
made to furnish such informa
ton in answer to letters or other
inquiries with the greatest pos.
sible expedition. The bank is
in a position to secure such in
formation without delay and will
fill an important existing vac
ancy in this respect. #
Speaking to the Trens agency
regarding the bureau, Senor
Mascarenas says:
1t is very pleasing for me to
tell you that, as consequence
of my suggestions and of my de-
sire to intensity and develop the
movement of tourists to our
country, which will, no doubt,
constitute a powerful factor in
our national economic life and,
because of the increasing mum
ber of visitors to Mexico, this
institution has established a
tourist bureau which, under my
personal direction, will work to
attract the greatest possible
mum Der of tourists and to extend
to them all the facilities neces-
sary to make their trip and their
stay in the country pleasant and
comfortable.
THE tourist bureau will CO
operate enthusiastically with all
dependencies of the government,
transportation companies, hotels
and commercial houses, ETC.,
whose business it is or whom it
interests to foment this move
ment, and it will continue the
propaganda which it has started
abroad on our national beauties,
historic ruins, buildings and ar
tistic monuments, and other
points of interest and attraction
to tourists"

With the disappearance Of classes

In Communist society no restric-

tinction between town and country,

Consequently, certain traces of in

The development of the produc.

will enable culture to flourish as
never before in history. Humanity,

state frontiers and will be based on
clear and transparent mutual rela-
tons between men. For that reason
i will destroy for ever all mysticism,
religion, prejudice and superstition
and give a powerful impetus to the
development of all-conquering, ra-
tional knowledge.
This higher stage of Communism
is the stage in which Communist So

have simultaneously acquired all

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-07-12

The ultimate aim of the Commu-
mist International is to replace world
capitalist economy by world sys-
TEN of Communism. Communist So
ciety, the ground for which has been
prepared by the whole progress of
historical development, is mankind's
only way out, for it alone can abolish
the fundamental contradictions of
the capitalist system which threaten
mans degradation and destruction.
Communists society will abolish the
division of society into classes, l. e.
simultaneously with the abolition of
anarchy in production it will abolish
social anarchy. The place of con-
flicting classes will be taken by
members of society cooperating in
the labor of single world society.
The enormous unproductive expendi-
ture of human energy, which in pre-
vious forms Of society was called
forth by the struggle of classes, will
cease and the human energy thus re-
leased will be diverted to the strug-
gle against nature and for the up
lifting and development of the power
and might of humanity.
After abolishing private property
in the means of production and con-
verting them into social property,
the world system Of Communism will
replace the elemental forces of the
world market, competition and the
blind process Of social production, by
consciously organized and planned
production. Devastating crises and
still more devastating war will be
abolished simultaneously with the
abolition of anarchy of production
and competition. The colossal waste
of productive forces and the spas
modic development of society will
give place to the planned manage
ment of all the resources and pain
less economic development on the
basis of unrestricted, planned and
rapidly developing productive forces.
The abolition of private property
and classes will abolish the exploita-
ton of man by man. Work will
cease to be toiling for the benefit of
a class enemy; instead of means of
Livelihood it will become a necessity
of life. The concepts of poverty and
wealth will disappear because econ
onic inequality, the poverty of en-
shaved classes and a wretched stan
dard of material existence generally
will disappear. The hierarchy es-
tablished by the division of labor
and with it the antagonism between
physical and intellectual labor will
be abolished. At the same time the
organs Of class domination and the
state in the first place will dis
appear. The state, as the embodi-
ment of class domination will die out

protection but must regard them,
selves in all legal relations as citi-
zens of Mexico. The so-called Gales
bill further decreed that all com
panies in possession of land, leases
of land or concessions had within
three years to convert themselves
into Mexican companies, i. e. into
companies, whose share capital
should be in the hands of Mexican
citizens to an extent of at least so
per cent.
Owing to the resistance of the
United States this law could not.
however, be put into force. The
requisite naturalization" (not to
be confused with socialization) of
the companies signified nothing less
than that the petroleum magnates
of the United States should with
draw from Mexico or give up their
nationality and become Mexican
citizens. AS a result of this pressure
the conflict became more acute. A
lively exchange of notes began be-
tween the two countries.
At the negotiations, which took
place in Mexico City between a COM
mittee representing the oil COM
panies and, on the other hand, the
Mexican authorities, there were
many collisions. These negotiations
Of the Representatives of the Stan
dard Oil Company with the Mexican
government were never broken off
from 1925 on, until in March 1925
it came to rupture. The represen-
tatives of the Standard Oil Com
pany left the city. They threatened
to intensity the fight by limiting

By II. LOwEN.

President Gales signed on March
27, 1928 the executive regulations
for the new petroleum law. In these
executive regulations it is expressly
stated that the Mexican oil law has
no retrospective force and that con-
fiscations are not permissible. All
rights acquired before 1917 remain
valid. 1t is true that they must be
confirmed, but upon application for
confirmation permanent conces-
sion is granted instead of the for
mer concession limited to fifty
years.
In this manner the ten-year oil
war between Mexico and the United
States has come to a conclusion
The petroleum trust of the United
States, the Standard Oil Company,
has won the fight. The attack of
the Mexican oil capitalists (backed
up by the British oil trust) upon
the properties of the Standard Oil
Company in Mexico has been beaten
off. The peace" just concluded be-
tween the United States and Mexico
leaves behind a conqueror and a
conquered. Therein lies the germ
of fresh fights for the future.
Standard Oil Wins.
By this means the Standard Oil
group will harvest the fruits of the
world oil peace conducted in 1922.
The world oil peace, which was
negotiated between the two largest
oil trusts of the world, viz, the
Standard Oil group of the United
States and the British-Dutch Royal
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-07-12

Shell group, was directed against
the Soviet Union. The two oil
trusts formed an alliance in order
to seize possession of the oil of the
Soviet Union.
O However, the Soviet Union was
stronger than the two imperialistic
trusts took it to be. From every
conference the Soviet State emerged
secure. It therefore became plain
to the two capitalist trusts that the
policy adopted in the year 1922
would not lead to the desired result.
For this reason the oil trust of the
United States betrayed it's ally, the
British oil trust, and entered on it's
own into negotiations with the So
Wet Union, without the knowledge
of the British concern. By so doing
it secured oil concessions in the
South of the Soviet Union.
The oil trust of the United States
made very good use of the period
of the world oil peace, which was in
reality only an armistice. 1t conso-
lidated its positions in North, South
and Central America, but it en-
ployed the armistice chiefly to bring
the oil war between the United
States and Mexico to a successful
conclusion.
The Mexican State had for a num-
Der of years defended itself ener-
getically against the policy of stran-'
gulation followed by it's big Amer
lean brother. 1t was decreed by
state law that foreigners having
property in land in Mexico must
bind themselves not to appeal to
their home countries for diplomatic

zens was also dropped. The right
of possession of oilfields by foreign
individuals or trusts was acknowl
edged in principle. However, the
foreign companies in question were
to volunteer to apply to the Mexican
state for concessions. This was to
serve as an ostensible triumph for
Mexico.
Capitalist Peace"
The oil peace between the United
States and Mexico means, in the
first place, that the oil trust Of
the United States by adroitly ex-
plotting the world oil peace has
inflicted a defeat in North America
on the British oil trust. In the Sec
ond place, the oil trust of the United
States has decided the ten-year
fight against the Mexican oil cap
italists in it's own favor. The oil
magnates of the United States, who
are much stronger economically
than the Mexican oil industrialists
have swallowed up the latter. Peace
has been created in the genuine
capitalist fashion.
This peace means that the oil
trust of the United States now has
on its own continent a free hand in
the fight against other competitors:
against the British oil trust and
against the Soviet Union, the ad-
ministrator and owner of the Rus
sian mineral oil sources. The CON
clusion of peace in North America
is therefore a peace action which
amounts to preparation for new and
bigger fights.

that they had the Mexican petro-
leum industry in their hands and
that they were in a position to
bring the Mexican oil industry to
a standstill. They also declared
that they had for years been sabo-
tagging the Mexican oil industry in
order to compel the Mexican gov
eminent to give way. The manager
of the Association of American
Producers of Petroleum in Mexico
made it known in an unmistakable
manner that the attempts of the
Mexican government to confiscate
oilfields belonging to foreigners"
had already resulted in a recession
in the year 1925 of about 115,000,-
900 barrels in the crude oil output
of Mexico. In accordance with this
the revenue of the Mexican govern
ment from export dues would have
fallen from S43,000,000 in 1923 to
S21,000,000 in the year 1925.
The Mexican government was
thus subjected to a double pressure
On the one hand, it had to fight
against private economy, lie. against
the Standard Oil Company, and
against the power of the United
States, on the other hand Mexico
had to succumb to this pressure.
Gales Surrenders.
An agreement was arrived at
Gales dropped his demand that the
companies should be nationalized to
an extent of at least so per cent
of their capital. The demand that
the oil magnates from the United
States should become Mexican citi-
