MEXICO FACING CRISIS
AS SILVER PRICE FALLS
WHILE CROPS FAIL
World Crisis Hitting Mexican Economy; Makes
Trouble Ahead For Lackeys to u. S.
Unemployment, High Prices and Strikes Loom
Promised Paradise Fades Before Facts

Mexican dispatches indicate quite
feeling of nervousness among
politicians over the economic stu
alton. With the crop failure in
Mexico, a yield of only so per cent
being estimated, the imports of food
must continue along with high
prices--and consequent industrial
unrest which all the repressive
features of the Fascist Labor Code
cannot restrain.
Moreover, the drop in the price of
silver, falling to the lowest price in
history, presents the Mexican min
ing industry with a crisis, with
thousands of Mexican workers
menaced with losing their jobs by
closing down of mines-but also hit
ting the basis of Mexican finance.
This same falling silver price,
which is also affecting the finance
of China, is a world phenomenon;
the Mexican paper Gel Economista"
says that there is no hope visible
for betterment. 1t ascribes the
cause to China and India throwing
silver on the market, but does not
say why they are doing so, or that
the real cause is the growing gen.

must be smashed. We must not per-
nit the boss to say that "you must
be satisfied with your conditions,
look at the wages we pay to the
Negroes" Sympathisinz is not the
thing that is necessary. The fight
for better conditions for the Negro
workers is the struggle of all work
ers, regardless of color, sex or age,
to raise the standard of living of
the workers. What is necessary is or
ganization and struggle.

the Negro workers, against discrim-
ination of the Negro workers and
for equal pay for equal work for all

eral crisis of world imperialist eco
nomy.
Mexican silver mining companies,
trying lately to keep pace with the
price fall with it's loss of profit, have
been trying to keep up profit total
returns by producing great deal
more silver, but this only adds to the
over-supply and sends the price
lower again.
In India and China, with both
the economic crisis growing and
revolution threatening, both the
native bourgeoisie and the foreign
exploiters, have been in fear of get
ting driven out and have been buy
ing foreign money with silver, thus
adding to the fall of silver prices.
In Mexico, where the native lack
eys Of U. S. imperialism under the
orders of Ambassador Morrow have
been promising a betterment of the
economic situation, the present de-
preston is going to have shatter-
ing effect on the expected solidity of
the government, and Ortiz Rubio is
going to have no pleasant time ex-
planning how it pays to lick the
boots of Uncle Sam and surrender to
Wall Street.

On Mex. Dollar SCHEME FOR INSURANCE

Chinese dispatches tell of the
acute financial crisis in China as
a result of the fall in value of the
silver dollar mexican standard is
used in China), which is now worth
only 80 cents compared with 48
cents year ago. For the last two
weeks the world price of silver has
fallen with alarming steadiness,
until yesterday it reached the low
est figure ever recorded-453s cents
per ounce.
In China, no such fall has oc-
Cured within 20 years as that now
existing, and as result merchants
who must pay in gold from sales
made for silver, are refusing ship
ments sent them from abroad.
Five Peking banks have failed
and ten others are on point of bank
ruptcy, while the Marking govern
ment is hard hit to pay foreign
loans and interest, taking money
supposed to be used in China to
pay with.
Most significantly, as the dollar
declines, prices are swiftly rising,
and producing great suffering
among the workers, thus impelling
a growth of discomfort and class
struggles.

workers are beginning to see
through the discrimination practiced
against them by the bosses of the
Hupp Motor Co. The fact that they
receive an average wage of 45c per
hour which is far less than the
wages Of the other workers and at
the same time do the same work and
many times even harder and dirtier
work, shows clearly the intentions of
the bosses to keep the white and col
ored workers separated. In this
way they put the colored worker
against the white, so that an effec-
tive struggle cannot be fought to
better the conditions of all workers.
The white workers, although SYM
pathisinz with the colored workers

"Year-end reviewers and fore
