The Significance of the Election of
COmrade Marty

At the ballot the by-eIecton which took place
on February in the constituency of Puteaux in the
vrons of Paris Comrade Andre Marty victory over
the fascist Gauthero Marty elected by 1917 votes
against 1879 poed by Gauerot about poed
by two opponents of whom is socaed rotskyist the
renegade Souvarine who after having betrayed the Ill
ternationa occupies the position of secretary to the
worst socialist jobbers.
The result of this by-eecon renders it possible to
tablish two important facts:
The complete concentration of all the workers votes
the Communist candidate At the election in 1928
when 5000 electors went to the poll than at the present
election the former Communist candidate Menerer poled
6227 votes at the first ballot and 1864 the second
ballot this time Comrad Marty poed 6553 votes at the first
ballot and 837 votes at the second ballot Thus the
ballot shows great increase of votes the first and this
for ouspken class canddaure the character of which
was clearly displayed against National Unity" against
capitalist naturalization against the oncoming mperalst
war; Tor the defence of the Soviet Union and for the
ton comprehensive work for the united front has been
achieved in the factories and the foundations factory COM
mtees capable OF putting resistance laid 1t to
this work that the good result before all to be ascrbed
In his election the Socialist Party disappeared as an
Important political factor although it formerly strong
position in this constituency
The Socialist Party unable to refuse its support to the
socafascist Torres the first ballot found itself compeed
in order if possible not to dispense its decmaed troops still
further to recommend its followers to vote Marty at the
second ballot The respective declaration full of malicious
caumnies against Party reality nothing else but
spefu appeal to fight the Communists an appeal which was
printed IN the whole of the reaonary press there met
with the highest approval Thus the Socialist Party is losing
and contact with the working masses if is in
capable of laying down clear ne it does not yet dare for
fear of losing its last followers it's adherens
to direct their fire against Party But in practice if
hasen to the aid of the most reaconary bourgeose not
only at the elections but also the direct struggles of the
workers the strike movements of the miners and the
textile workers of Hauln.
The election of Marty shows that the workers of the
Paris district rayng the Communist Party and its
revolutionary aims and this the expense of the socialists
The result of the election enables us to raise in the whole
country with still emphasis the question of the mass
struggle for amnesty and against prosecutions.

absurd attempt at extradition from
Mexico, based on supposed offense
Of national insult" on account of
the continental campaign of "Free
Cuba"
General Aleman made a trip to
Mexico with the special object of
obtaining that extradition. That cf-
fort failing, it ives decided then to
assassinate Mella in Mexico itself.
An agent provocateur was sent
there with the instruction to pro.
woke trouble over Cuban flag. The
press assisted by twisting facts so
that Mella was made to appear as
stamping on the flag. This calumin-
Gus statement had the object of dis
crediting Mella with Cuban patriots
and among the backward workers.
Cold BIooded Frame-up.
Mella was conscious revolution
ary Communist, and could not
have done nor did ne do such a stu
pidly pueriie act. But the flag
which he did no: stamp on waves
above the Cuban legation, protecting
his assassins in Mexico; because to-
day the flag does not officially rep
resent more than the larger Cuban
bourgeoisie, purchased with Yankee
gold and headed by the monster,
Machado. Paid agents, hired GRIM
finals, at Office sailed, before the cal
umny could be denied, and there,
directed by spies knowing the neces-
sary details for their CHASTITY mis-
sion, consummated the crime as
planned, colby and without punish
ment.
They shot him in the back-under
cover of night--as he went, neglect
full and without arms. He died as
he had lived, and said: III die for the
revolution, assassinated by agents
Of Machado."
Varona, Grant, Dumenigo, Cuxart,
Lopez, Yalob, Bouzon now there
is another name in the martyrology
of the Cuban working class: Mella,
and the terrible list of those sacri-
feed will continue.
Comrade workers.! Mella gave his
youth, his strength, his intelligence
and his life to the cause of the
emancipation of the working class
and peasantry. He was a leader,
because he assimilated in his own
spirit the misery of the whole OPP
pressed class and orientated himself
to that class, serving it with loyalty,
with energy and love. For that his
murderers killed him.
His Dying Words.
Thus live all and die many among
those who fight that class justice
and happiness may be won. Your
duty is not only to venerate them
but to follow them and initiate them

of the C. r. 0. M. and not against
workers organizations as such, but
in effect the result has been gen.
eral disorganization of the workers
movement, leaving the country tenn
porarily without an effective ma
tional labor organization. The mill
tant workers were quick to see the
danger of the situation. In a coun-
try so dominated by militarism as in
Mexico road has been left open
for bold coup by the military and
reactionary elements.
The Communist Party, as indi-
Gated in the official organ, GEL Ma
chete," has issued the slogan:
"Down with the C. R. D. NJ. lead
ers; upewith the G. R. o. NJ" Every
form of publicity and public mani
festation has been used to impress
upon the workers the necessity of
protecting their organizations
against the attacks of those who
wish not only to see the downfall
of the leaders, but also the disrup-
ton of the labor movement.
The National Peasant League has
taken a. similar stand. The local
NJ. 0. P. r., during the most diff
cult moments of the c. r. o MS
fight with the government, proposed
solidarity pact, which the c. R. o.
NJ. conveniently accepted.
An appeal to the C. R. o. NJ, ac-
companying the slogan, Cup with
the Crom," asked them to partici-
pate in. united front activity, leading
TO united confederation of labor to
cover all Mexico. This appeal was
actually accepted by the G. r. O. M.
convention, but the leaders sabo-
tagged it, and the new confederation
has now been formed without these
leaders, though, of course, with
many of the rank and file members.

ship. Maladministration, embezzle-
ment of union funds, beating
tactics toward independent unions,
the use of force to cause unions to
affiliate, the breaking of the rail-
way strike called by the independent
Transport Confederation-all this
represented tactics which could not
be effectively challenged while the
c. R. O. NJ. had the support of the
police.
Politically, too, the C. r. 0. M.
and P. L. M. were plunging into
troubled waters. The speech of Mo-
rones on May 1, 1928, attacking OBJ
RECON, brought prompt counter-at-
tacks. The laborites lost their con-
troll of the municipal administration
of the capital, and of state governor
ships. The laborite, Celestino Gasca
who had succeeded Morones as man
ager of the Munition Works, was
defeated for the governorship OF
Guanajuato, after bloody contest
through the efforts of Oregon. To-
day the only labor governor on the
scene is that of the state of Ia
catecas, and the national chamber
threatens to GUST him.
Peasants Hostile.
The greatest failure of the C. R
0. M. was its inability to control the
peasants. Today all the peasant
forces are outside of the c. r. O. M
and have been for some time. The
national agrarian party, led by An
tonic Diaz Soto y Cana and Aurelic
Manrique, form one wing; the pea
SAINT groups around Portes Gil ant
Marie Gomez form another; the rad
ical National Peasants League forms
a third.
For years the railway workers
have been out of the c. r. 0. M.
which organized a small federation
on the fringe, largely composed Of
office workers. The c. Il. 0. M
has broken rail strikes and disrupted
the organization of the railroads
and is cordially hated by all the
present rail organizations.
Autonomous State Bodies.
The following independent STATE
declarations have been built up il
spite of the opposition of the G. R
0. NJ, or have recently seeded from
the C. R. 0. NJ: The Labor Fedora
ton Of Jalisco, with which is aft

ton.
Morones Overplayed.
The immediate cause of, this dis
indignation of the C. R. o. M. was
the attitude taken in the recent
ninth convention. The G. R. o. M.
leaders, encouraged by the. presence
of !ex-President Gales and General
Roberto Cruz in the convention,
came out boldly against Perez Ire
vino, governor of Coahuila, who had
violated pact with the C. R. 0. M,
made to secure his election, and who
had harrassed the C. r. O. M. or
CARNATIONS and driven them out OF
the state.
The C. R. o. M. attacked the new
provisional president, Portes Gil, for
his refusal to suppress a play at the

Cuban Communists Put
Murder Guilt on u. s.

HAVANA, Cuba, March 3.-The
Communist Party of Cuba has is
sued a proclamation to the workers
of Cuba, exposing President Machado
who has just discovered a "revolu-
tionary plot" to give himself an ex-
euse for further arrests and murders.
Machado, says the statement, is only
Wall Street agent, and murdered
Milla even in Mexico, as well as a
long list of other worker leaders in
Cuba, to keep profits flowing for
the U. S. imperialists. The state
ment is as follows:
TO the workers of Cuba and to the
Cuban people:
Words are insufficient to express
the sentiment of an individual, and
much more the pain of class, the
anguish of people, the sorrow and
anger of the oppressed. The work
ers of CUBA, of America and of the
world are in mourning because a
fighter, valiant, strong and neces-
sary, has fallen. The Cuban petty
bourgeoisie-students, professionals,
traders, employes-understand with
horror how far the ferocity of the
tyrant has gone, revealed suddenly
as an international assassin.
Murder Long Planned.
But words will serve TO proclaim
the truth and to unmask the GRIM
inals. The cowardly assassination,
long premeditated in the presiden-
tial palace, marks the bloody phase
Of new stage Of white terror be-
gun Immediately at the so-called
elections of November; imprison-
ment and arbitrary deportations of
workers on strike; threats by the
police against the leaders of work
crs' organizations; persecution of
rroletarian papers, and the attempt
to assassinate followed by the Sc
questration and deportation of the
Cuban student, Fernandez Sanchez.
Mella, an immigrant in Mexico
from the carly part of 1926, was
the center Of the group of political
refugees, workers and students de-
ported or prosecuted as enemies of
the Machado regime. His prestige
and personality within Cuba and
abroad had been gained in constant
struggle, in continuous revolution
arv action. He was only % years
old, but his intense revolutionary
history, which gained him the love
Of the Cuban workers, brought upon
him the mortal hatred of the as
sassin of the Cuban workers.
The assassin first tried to murder

The general political dissolution
which has struck Mexico since the
assassination of Oregon has ex-
tended to the labor and peasant
movements. Its most recent phase
has been the breakup of the C. R.
0. M. mexican Regional Labor Fed
eration), the Gales official group,
under the blows of provisional presi-
dent, Portes Gil. The C. R. o. M.
has basked in official favor ever
since the Zacatecas convention in
1919.
In that year it was organized by
Luis N. Morones and Ricardo Ire
vino, under the patronage OF Presi-
dent Venustiano Carranza as a foil
to the syndicalist Casa del Obrero
Mundial, which had been declared an
outlaw organization, and whose lead
ers had been arrested for treason.
Morones Achieves Position.
The C. R. o. NJ, however, prompt
ly split with Carranza and the lead
ers founded the Mexican Labor
Party Up. L. M to support the can
didacy Of Alvaro Oregon. After
Obregon's victory, Morones was
awarded the management of the Ma
tional Munition Works with bud
get of 30,000,000 pesos year. With
the election of Gales, in 1924, he
was promoted to the ministry of in
dustry, commerce and labor.
The municipal administration of
Mexico City, various governorships
and seats in the chamber and SEN
ate were captured by the P. L. M.
The first two years of Gales adj
ministration marked the heyday of
the C. r. 0. M. and P. L. M. Since
then they have steadily declined
Gradually the c. R. o. M. was de-
serted by Gales; its attempts to or
ganize the peasant movement, ex-
cept for short interval, proved dis
