The first part of the speech of
Albert WeisbOrd, fraternal dele
gate of the TUEL to the Mexican
Unity Congress of Workers and
Peasants, was printed in yester-
days issue. 1t dealt with U. S.
imperialist aggression against
Mexico and other Latin American
countries with the new friendship
between Morrow and Gil, with the
growth of the Left wing unions
in the United States.
Comrades, your present convention
is an historic one. 1t is great
step forward in the unity upon
basis of class struggle Of the tell
ing masses of Mexico and Latin
America. The Trade Union Educa-
tional League halls this convention
with joy and through it the prole-
tariat and peasantry of Mexico. We
are aware of the difficulties you
have to face in your struggle for
trade union unity in Mexico, to at
tain the utmost struggle and to
eradicate self-seeking bureaucrats
whose interests incite divisions of
your forces. We are aware that
under the pretensions of a code of
labor laws supposed to protect" la
Dor, the interests of the u. S. I'M
perialists and of Mexican employ
ers are being foisted upon the Mex
lean workers. We are aware that a
most grave danger menaces, That
/ fascism, new nascent in Mexico, will
assume the open forms it has al
ready taken in some other Latin
American countries and may vicious
ly attack your organizations and at
tempt to destroy them by violence -
having failed 10 corrupt them. We
point to the assassination of Julio
Antonio Mella as sign of the men
ace of fascism on the soil of Mex
leo, which will, of course, be ac-
lively supported by Yankee impcri-
alism.
With such perspective facing
the proletariat and peasantry of the
Americas unity against all inaperi-
alism and all exploiters and all re-
action is imperative. To organize
this unity the better the Trade
Union Educational League makes
