NEW WALL ST. PRESIDENT
BOSS OF MEXICO

apparatus and the registration Of the members
before this high authority.
Let financial expert of American imperial
ism put the conditions for the reconstruction"
of Mexico: M. G. Butler Sherwell says
First, a new loan to consolidate the debts
of the country and upbuiId the fiscal machin-
cry; second, the sale of assets now owned or
controlled by the government; third, the adj
Justment of the budget to meet debt require
ments out of ordinary revenues"
The first condition gives an opportunity to
the rapacous Wall Street bankers to make
new loan and thus bind more of Mexico's
riches, especially those which are in the hands
of the British The second condition is still
more magranimous and not ambitious at all;
the sale of assets now controlled by the govern
ment means the passing over of all railroads to
the benevolent Mr.. Lamont & Co. The control
exercised by the government over these assets
only exists on paper. Nevertheless British
railroad interests must be ousted. This ex-
plains the support of Portes Gil to the strike
of railroad workers of the British owned Mexico
City-Vera Cruz line.
AS to the third condition, budget to paw the
debts out of ordinary revenues, is still another
burden upon the oppressed masses to pay
taxes on every commodity they consume. 1t
also means to alleviate the burden of the inn
perialists to pay their own taxes and to espe-
cially finance the government in order to
quench the uprisings of the miltarists support
ed by British Imperialism. The sum of S23,-
100000 which Mexico was to pay as interest to
its debts for 1929, was used to crush Escobar's
March uprising and this with the consent of
its A -erican creditors.
We N now see that Mexico is w-ll on the
road to recovery" Mexico, once the country
whose poems fought the Colossus of the North
for their independence, is now given over to
the Wall Street sharks by the bourgeoise.
TOWARDS FASCIsM.
Ortiz Rubio is called upon to inaugurate
regime with distinct mark of fascism
In orde4 TO put through Mr. Morrow's program
he will have to use the repressive methods of
his labor hater colleague, General Machado of
Cuba. Portes Gil has began the job, not so
very lccessfully. For since he entered the
presidential palace the counter-revolutionary
government has openly exposed itself before
the toiling masses as their class enemy. The
Mexican bourgeoisie has definitely dropped its
hypocritical slogans as the "friend of labor and
against foreign imperialism" It's surrender to
the White House is an accomplished fact.
American imperialism applies different meth
DDS of oppression in the Caribbean countries
according to the specific conditions and the
revolutionary reaction to this oppression by
the masses The reign of terror in Cuba under
, General Machado has the approval of the State
Department and the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. During this fascist regime the Cuban
proretariat has been constantly bleeding. Its
best fighters are being murdered by the agents
of Machado.
Mexico is going through the process of fas-
citation. The starving peasants and workers of
Haiti are now up in arms defying American
military rule. Mr.. Hoover sends marines that
brutally murder them. The Negro masses de-
nand the independence of Haiti; shooting is the
imperialist answer. Nicaragua is being "paci-
fled" with the help of marines, the National
Guard and the puppet President Moncada.
WORKERS AND PEASANTS ANSWER.
In the face Of the speedy preparations for
an imperiaist war and the intensified exploit
taton and suppression Of the masses of the
Caribbean countries, q realignment Of class
