The raid on the Communist Party
and Young Communist League meet
ings was personally directed by
General Eulogio Ortiz commander
of the Valley of Mexico acting di-
rectly for the Mexican Govern
ment whose chief agents are now
being slobbered over by Hoover,
Lamont and Morrow.
To cover it's terroristic deeds, the
Mexican government half-wittedly
announces that those arrested are
anarchists" and are suspected of
plotting against the life Of
Gales" Anyone attempting to
bring food to the prisoners is ar
rested. A Bolivian writer was ar
rested when he sought an interview
with those who were being tor
tured by the Mexican government.
The entire attack of the Mexican
government is directed against the
Communist Party, Young Commun-
ist League and the revolutionary
trade unions, as these are the only
political bodies exposing and fight
ing against the outright selling of
the masses to Wall Street by the
Rubio-Calles clique.
A number of followers of Vascon-
cello, who openly announced armed
revolt, have been released. Rubio
has made repeated attempts to con-
ciliate the Vasconcelists, who really
represent the same bourgeois
Mexican force. During his election
campaign, Rubio offered peace and
cooperation to Vasconcelas, in order
to unite against the workers and
peasants movement, which they
both ruthlessly suppressed. The at
tack on the Communists and rev.
dictionary trade unionists is an at
tempted blow at the vanguard OF
the revolutionary workers and peas
ants.
Back Of the vicious raids and ar
rests is the fact that the Young
Communist League and the Com
munist Party have been carrying or
a vigorous anti-militarist cam
paign. A leaflet was issued attack
ing Gales politically as the assassin
of the Communist Party organizer
in Durango, Guadeloupe Rodriguez,
who was killed last Spring. The
leaflet exposed Gales as a tool of
Yankee Imperialism. The obvious
confirmation of these facts in the
eyes of the Mexican masses by the
delight with which Gales and Ru-
bio were received by the U. s.
bankers and hangmen
of the Mexican workers enraged the
servile belly-crawlers at the head
of the Mexican government.
In its attack, tortures and ar
rests on the Communist Party,
Young Communist League and
revolutionists, the Wall Strret pup
pet government is getting the full
support of the right-wing renegades
led by Fritz Bach, Diego Rivera,
who are handsomely paid by the
Mexican government for their val
liable aid in misleading the masses
in the interest of Wall Street. Part
of this bloody money was sent to
to help him carry on the
same work in the United States
through his Counter Revolutionary
Age" The observation-disclosures
group have the support of de Negri,
Minister of Indsutry, Commerce and
Labor, one of the leading fores in
the wholesale attacks. on the revo-
lutionary organizations.
The International Labor Defense
is cooperating with the Mexican
Red Aid in fight against the Mex
lean white-terror. Fight for the re-
lease of the hostages of Wall
Street in Mexico! Smash the united
