The terror of the Mexican ruling
clique assumes more violent forms.
Special types of torture have been
devised, such as the use of a nefari-

been driven insane by this method
of torture devised by the Gil-Rubio-
Gales regime.
Ortiz Rubio is on his way to Mex

is because of the devastating ex-

of the servility of the Mexican rul-
ing class to the U. S. imperialists
that the reign Of terror has been in
tensified.
In many states, a campaign Of
suppression has been instituted by
the Federal authorities against the
revolutionary trade union center,

have been assassinated and impris-

side with this a growth of the num-

Ghandi Tries to I'll old
Masses by Left Phrases

Dispatches from Indic, where the
National Indian Congress Of native
capitalists is in session at Lahore,
state that the old faker, Mahatma
Ghandi, has introduced a resolution
declaring the congress policy to be
a "policy of independence" for In
dia. This coming after Ghandi had
agreed to the vague promise made
by Lord Irwin of a dominion
status" sometime in centuries to
come, shows the vast pressure on
the Indian bourgeoisie by the revo-
lutionary masses.
Ghandi and the congress, which
will undoubtedly adopt the resolu-
ton, thus are trying by this cleft"
gesture to hold the masses in their
own control and prevent any real
fight for independence. This is
shown very clearly in the fact that
the congress has already passed a
resolution by 1T to 60 votes, con-
demning the recent alleged "bomb-
ing" of the train of Lord Irwin,
British Viceroy, and congratulating
this ruthless oppressor on his es-
cape. Also, Ghandi's resolution,
while stating "policy" for indie
pendence, limits the struggle to
passive boycotting of legislatures
and non-violence, though the masses
may carry this boycott into physi-
cal struggle in spite of Ghandi's at
tempt to prevent.

After waiting till after 8 o'clock

interview, after the preliminary an
nouncement that the wages were $50
per week. The outline of work is as
follows:
Work in the morning from 6 a.
m. to II a. m. cleaning the outside
of the building, as polishing brass,
etc.
From then on to be out of the
building but in constant touch by

From 5 p. m. till ~ p. m. clean

Factories fOr War"
Is French Auto Car
Makers Tariff Plea

Paris reports state the new Amer
lean ambassador, Edge, is doing
speedy and intensive coaxing trying
to get France to withdraw the heavy
tariff rates on American motor
cars, recently proposed.
However, Louis Renault, one of
the leading French auto manufac-
turers, recently called in the auto
mobile editors of Paris newspapers
and explained to them why the
French are fighting foreign auto
makers. If foreign cars fill the
French market, he said, it would
not have been worth while "to have
lost million and a half men in
the war to escape German tutelage
only to fall under that of Amer
ica".
If that should happen, Renault
added, French factories, shut down,
no longer could supply war mate
rials". Against whom these terribly
necessary war materials are to be
used, Renault is not quoted as re-
vealing.
Meanwhile, the American auto
mobile officials in Paris have held
several conferences, and are throw
ing out broad hints to the French
that if the tariff on their cars is
raised to drive out American cars,
"then the American industry ought
to urge action in regard to some
commodity of equal importance to
the French export trade.

An example of reformist dema-
gogy is the action of the German
speaking "Christian-socialist" trade
unions, who have declared for
action against decentralization"
while their press says they will
fight theoretically for wage in
creases".
The truth about this deceit is re-
vealed in an article of programmed
ic nature, however, which declares:
"The agreements (of the unions
with the employers) must be given
legal basis and supplemented by
an authoritative arbitration system"
Thus this action supposedly con
behalf of the workers" turns out
to be an action in the interests of
the capitalists who have formed
united front with the social-fascist
and the Christian-social trade unions
in order to throttle the developing
strike movement of the workers
with the arbitration system.
