Mexico Nears New Revolt;
Communist Leader Jailed
By HARRISON GEORGE.

THE internal conflicts of the bourgeois clique
in control of the Mexican government, re-
Gently caused the resignation of Portes Gil
from the Craftsmanship of the government party,
the fascist National Revolutionary Party" So
called 1t also brought about the resignation Of
Luis Leon, the demagogic loud-speaker of the
government, from the cabinet ministry of in
dustry, commerce and labor; also the resigna-
ton of the personal secretary of President Or
tiz Rubio Hernandez Chazaro.
Portes Gill by the way recently passed through
New York, and gave a spoonful of soothing
syrup to American imperialism with rosy pic

poohed the "rumor" that in Mexico the "poli-
tical ambitions" of those out of power were be-
ginning to stir again" If such were the case,
he admitted, it would be sinister"
Which is all very interesting but Is 100 per
cent boloney The ambitions Of those out OF
power have never ceased to "stir" And Senior
ellis comment that if such were "again" the
case, then things would be sinister" is an
adroit threat to the Ortiz Rubio regime-which
is to say to American imperialism.
For, despite Senior Gils innocent pretensions
that he is going to Europe to study economic.
trade and social charlottesville is much more
likely to be going there to get substantial or-
nection with British Imperialism to give his am
billions some financial backbone We will leave
to the N. Y. Times which printed CHEEKY ed-
tor1al in Sundays paper, to swallow Senior Oils
words at face value
Armed Conflict Brewing
The conflicts within the ruling CLIQUE of Mex
leo, are aggravated by the opposition of the So
called Labor Party (the reflection of the re-
formist trade union confederation known as the
"CROM'O. and the Crouinp I,a
tween this opposition and British imperialism
which is seeking to defend and better its posi-
ton against Wall Street
Obviously, this whole DEVELOPMENT gives the
perspective of a possibility of an armed strug-
gle quite similar to all the so-called "revolu-
lions" which are shaking all Latin America
Although the efforts to forestalI such a revolt
have thus far succeeded in putting it off they
have not eliminated it's possibility.
In view of this, the Communist Party of Mex
ico which has much, if not always happy ex-
perlence to learn from in the previous revolts
and the recent events in other Latin American
countries, in the face of the fascist terror and
the greatest difficulties and sacrifices. has
pointed out to the masses of workers and peas
ants the role of the armed struggle and the
form of active mass intervention in an indie
pendent manner for their own class interests
against foreign Imperialism and native ex-
poiters.
The government, fearful of the masses and
interested in continuing its servile lackeysm for
Yankee imperialism, is inftnsifying it's perse-
cutions against the revolutionary vanguard Of
the masses
For this reason it has imprisoned, among
dozens of others and without the SLIGHTEST
legal argument, Rafael Garlic, a prominent
leader OF the Communist Party of Mexico and

Garlic is one of the founders of the cormu-
mist Party of Mexico and always has been an
outstanding figure in its leadership
Our Tasks.
The working class of the United States ;ts
revolutionary organizations and first of all the
Communist Party Of the U. S. A. are under tbe
obligation of not only raising stern protest
but to strengthen all effective and practical sol
darlty in the aid of the Mexican workers VIC
tlmlzed by the fascist dictatorship there which
is openly tool of Wall Street.
AT the 7th National Convention of the C p
u S. A., the Chicago District of our Party re-
spending to the program proposed of building
up fraternal connection between specified dis
tricts and the movement in specified Latin coun
trles' accepted the task of aiding Mexico. But
10 GATE this has remained utterly unrealized and
'0ii io'Veis VI inquiry 10 the district concern
ing this question are unanswered
Clearly, this is no manner of carving ont
tasks laid upon us as the leader of the working
class in the imperalist country Whatever the
difflculties, they .'ust be met and overcome. IL
is serious, vital and fruitful task, and must not
be lightly accepted and then ignored.
Moreover, the whole workers movement of the
United States must be reused to action. and
while this is the task of the movement as a
whole the Chicago District is expected to make
good Its pledge and take the necessary steps
to do so.
