The furious white terror now gen.
eral in Mexico and Latin-America,
in the colonies and semicolonies of
American imperialism, has drawn
sharp protest from working class or
CARNATIONS of the United States and
demand for its immediate cessa-
ton. A special campaign is now be-
ing waged against the repeated
wave of deportations in Mexico.
The United States Section of the
All A m erica Anti Imperialist
League and the international Labor
Defense have drawn up the follow
/ ing declaration:
There is an intensification of the
white terror in Mexico at this mo-
ment. A new drive is on against
the Communist Party; the printing
plant of the Machete, official organ
of the Communist Party of Mexico
has been confiscated. There is a
threat of deportation against all
foreign born workers active in the
revolutionary labor movement of
Mexico.
The drive against the Commu-
mist Party is one of the terms of
surrender to American imperialism,
the elimination of all anti-imperial-
list forces in Mexico. To permit this
drive means to weaken the resistance
of the working masses, to leave
them without leaders in their strug-
gle for better working conditions
and for independence from Yankee
imperialism. Whatever support we
can give them means powerful
force against Yankee Imperialism.
What does the deportation drive
mean? 1t means death for many of
the ablest leaders in the revolu-
tionary movement in Mexico, Vene-
zuela and other countries.
Julio Mella, the world-known
Cuban revolutionary, was murdered
year ago in Mexico by tools OF
the Cuban government, Guadalupe
Rodriguez, of Durango, Mexico, was
murdered by the Mexican govern
ment only a few months ago.
Not only in Mexico is the terror
raging. In Venezuela many work
ers are up in arms fighting against
Gomez. In Yucatan, on the chicle
plantations, Indian workers re-
belled against the inhuman condi-
tons only to have the Mexican gov
eminent send troops against them.
Shall we permit Cuban workers
be deported to Cuba, where they
face death from the rifle or from
sharks? Have we forgotten the
arms of Cuban workers, found in the
bellies of sharks? Shall we permit
; these attacks to go On without rails
ing our voices?
Cuba, Mexico, and the other Latir
American countries are colonies ane
semi-colonies of American imperial
ism. The American government
! which has whipped the Mexican gov
eminent into line, is the one reall!
responsible for the present terror.
Despite all prosecutions the work
i. ing masses of Latin-America ar
struggling, are fighting ba elk
Strengthen their arms. Give then
. all possible support.
Down with American imperialism
and its tool the Mexican bourgeoisie
Stop the deportation drive il
Mexico!
Demand the cessation of tn,
, white terror in Mexico!
Give aid to the deported workers
