PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION
The Mexican Workers and the
Communist Party

ever been made to expose them and replace
them with Communist leadership. In the I'M
perial Valley petty bourgeoisie have organized
a reformist union, the Mexican Mutual Aid
During the lettuce strike they undertook to
divide the Mexican worker from other agrl-
cultural workers. Here, however, the labor
takers were exposed. The workers accepted
TUUL leadership. This single occurrence
shows concIusively what can be done among
the Mexican workers if an effort is MADE IN
that direction.
In Los Angeles, from time to time, Mexican
workers join our Party after hearing speakers
address them in Spanish. However, when no.
tice of their acceptance or notification of meet
ings are mailed, they are sent out IN English.
AS most Mexicans can hardly speak let alone
read English they asked their children or
those of their neighbors to read their letters
for them These children being under the in
fluence of capitalist schools and clergy, often
purposely read incorrectly or discourage the
prospective members, with the result that
they do not show up. No attempt has ever
been made to write notices or letters to them
in Spanish. Work among the Mexican youth IS
practically not in existence.
As explained the Mexican worker in Amer
lea knows little English. Spanish remaining
the language even after four generations in
the u. ). New MEXICO, Arizona, etc.), moSt
of them read Spanish newspapers. In Los
Angeles, Ortiz Rubio president of Mexico,
finds it profitable to subsdize Ell Heraldo de
Mexico, paper printed in Spanish. In every
article of this newspaper one finds articles
warning Mexican workers to keep away from
the Communists. A number of opposition
politicians also control newspapers there.
Workers not knowing which paper to accept,
read La Opinion which poses as liberal in
dependent" but is really controlled by Cath
olic faction.
The necessity for Spanish newspaper in
Los Angeles is indeed a great one. Vvda
Obera, the Spanish newspaper published over
$500 miles away can hardly serve the purpose.
sectional newspaper in Spanish similar to
that of the proposed Southern Worker is badly
needed. Printed at Los Angeles, it could
serve the Mexican population as far east as
Ell Paso or San Antonio. Being near the bor-
der copies would fall into the hands of Mexi-
cans on the other side, aiding in many ways
the Communist Party of Mexico, whose paper,
Ell Machete, is illegal.

oppressed classes Of other countries, raising
among them revolte against the capitalists,
launching, in case of necessity, armed forces
against the exploiting classes and their states.
The political form of society in which the
proletarat is victorious, in which it has over
thrown the boureeoisie, will be a democratic
republic centralizing ever more the forces of
the proletariat of q given nation or NATIONS in
the struggle against the states that have not
yet gone over to Socialism. 1t is impossible
to annihilate classes without dictatorship of
the oppressed class, the proletariat. 1t is
impossible freely TO unite the nations in So
cisism without more less prolonged and
stubborn struggle of the Socialist republics
against the other states.
it is due. to such considerations resulting
from repeated debates at the conference Of the
sections Of the Il. S. ID. i. p. situated abroad
and after, that the editors of the Central Or

BY IRVING KREITZBERG and
JOSE ARISPE.

THERE are about 100000 Mexican workers
in the United States. The overwhelming
majority of these are engaged in basic indus
tries such as steel, agriculture, railroads, etc.
In many sections of California Arizona, New
Mexico they are majority of the population
In other localities such as beet fields of Col
orado, steel mills, of Gary, Ind, etc, there
are a large percentage of Mexican workers.
Work among the Mexican wage slaves is
entirely underestimated Despite the mill
fancy of these workers, and their willingness
to accept our leadership, real organzatlonal
work among them has been neglected.
Los Angeles which has over 100000 Mexi-
cans, Mexican population only second to
that of Mexico City, has only handful of
Mexicans in the Party. This is not necessarily
due to an unwillingness of these workers to
Join our ranks, for every demonstration brings
them out in large numbers. About one-half of
the participants of the May First Demonstra-
ton in Los Angeles were Mexicans. Ever since
the Feb. Goth Unemployment Demonstration
in Los Angeles, MeXicans and various Spanish
speaking lodges, clubs, etc, are continuously
laudng the praises of a fighting Communist
Party, speaking of the Communist Party as if
it were a mysterious organization that per-
forms miracles. In San Bernardino despite a
vicious police terror and practically without
leadership workers mostly MeXicans. demon
strated there May First at the call of the
Communist Party. This all proves that the
Mexican workers are ready to join our Party
and fight Still there has been no real eff
forts of organization among them.
Large numbers of needle workers and cap
makers in Los Angeles, are Mexicans. How
ever there is not one Mexican enrolled in the
N. T. w. l. U. True, a weak attempt was
made at recruiting them by distributing leaf
lets. Still many Party members, working side
by side with Mexican needle workers, make
no effort to fraternize with them, remaining
practically isolated. This procedure must be
corrected.
If our Party minimizes these workers, petty
bourgeoisie and anarchists, however, are
tive amongst them. We have in Ell Cultural,
Los Angeles, number of Party members be-
sides this many of the members are sympa-
thetic to us. Still the leadership of this
ganzaton is allowed to be in the hands of
the anarchists. What is more, no effort has

He was charged first with assault with dam
gerous weapon and then with a murder which
took place in Canada in 1925. The bosses

is a militant worker. Only the united efforts

PRESIDENT HOOVER'S appeal mot to

will not last has not brought any improvement

to produce double and triple the amount thru
the bonus, checker, minimum time and other
speed-up systems.
Almost half of the wage earners are jobless.
Thousands tramp the streets. Men, women ana
children go around hungry, homeless, and sick
while the mill owners fnanciers and their

Bosses Answer With Prosecutions.
Like in all capitalist countries the attempts
of the workers to improve their conditions is
answered by the bosses-class with mass per-
secutions of worker. During the month of
April in the Boston District 153 workers were

is held for deportation because he as member

MO. 40 of the "Sotsial-D emokrat" carried the
~ information that the conference of the sec
tions of our Party situated ABROAD had decided
to postpone the question of the Omitted States
of Europe" slogan pending press discussion
of the economic side of the question.
The debate on this question at our confer
ence assumed a one-sided political character.
This was partly due to the fact that the mani
festo of the Central Committee directly formu-
lated this slogan as political one c"The near
est political slogan" etc.. The document en-
.phasized not only republican United States
of Europe but it especially mentioned that
without revolutionary overthrow of the Ger
man, Austrian, and Russian monarchies,' this
slogan is senseless and false.
To argue against such an approach to the
question while remaining entirely in the field
of political analysis, for instance, to argue
that this slogan obstructs or weakens the
slogan of Socialist revolution, is entirely
erroneous. Political changes of truly demo-
cratic nature, especially political revolutions
can in no case and under no circumstances
either obstruct or weaken the slogan of So
cialist revolution. On the contrary, they al
ways make it nearer, they widen the basis
for it, they draw into the Socialist struggle
ever new strata of the petty bourgeoisie and
the semi-proetarian masses On the other
hand, political revolutions inevitable in the
course of Socialist revolution, which must
not be looked upon one single act, but must
be cnsidered as epoch, number of stormy
political and economic upheavals, most sharp
ened class struggle, civil war, revolutions and
counter revolutions.
But if the United States of Europe slogan,
conceived in connection with revolutionary
overthrow of the three most reactionary mon
arches of Europe, headed by Russia, is entire
ly impregnable political slogan, there still
remains the most important question of its
economic content and meaning From the point
of view of the economic conditions of imper-
ialism, i. e., capital export and division of the
world between the progressive and civil
lied" colonial powers. the United States of
Europe under capitalism is either impossible
or reactionary.
Capital has become international and mon
opolistic. The world has been divided among
a handful. of great powers, j. e., powers sue
cessfu in great plumber and in oppression of
nations. The four great powers Of Europe,
England, France, Russia, and Germany, with
population of $50 to 300,000000, with an area
of about 100000 square kilometres possess
colonies numbering almost half billion (494
to 900 nhabitants) with an area of
64,600,000 square kilometres, l. e., almost half
of the globes surface (153000000 square
kilometres. barring the Polar region). Add the

STA, which now torn to pieces by the plum
derers waging n war for Freedom" namely,

DECLARE SOAP
DETR!MENT TO
FINISH OF BODY

The proper way TO polish the
paint of the automobile, according
to directions given by the manufac-
turing company that supplies polish.
ing products to most of the body
makers, is to wash the body with
sponge and water and wash the
chassis with sponge, soap and water.
No soap should be used on the body,
as it leaves a film over the matter
still to be removed. On the chassis
soap is necessary to remove the
grease. Two sponges should be used,
one for the body, the other for the
chassis. Dry the body with q piece
Of chamois.
The car now is free OF road dirt,
but the finish is dull and cloudy due
to the sweating of the pigment in
the lacquer finish. Apply cleansing
polish with a soft cloth. Let it dry.
With another cloth rub it off. All
the foreign matter adhering to the
lacquer and all pigment working out
from it will be removed, polishing,
as applied to lacquer, IS primarily a
process Of removal.
The car now is clean, but the fin
ish is left exposed. To protect the
finish, wax polish should be applied
with soft cloth. Let this dry.
Then rub with another soft cloth.

Visitors Ignore
Traffic Rules

There is one kind of motor tour
ist who is particularly annoying to
the police Of virtually every city.
He has been defined as the visit
CT who tries to "get by" with traffic
law violations simply because he IS
a stranger. One Of the particular
failings of this type OF motorist, ac
eording TO many police officials, is
tAe-4otallv-, indifferent manner in
which he violates the no-parking
