the Mexican Communists to the highest
degree yet reached by the radical ele-
ments of the country although, like all
his predecessors, he was specific in his
denial that the Soviets were linked with
the internal affairs of Mexico.
Agents in Mexico Listed.
Indicative of the far-reaching effect
Of the bolshevik machinery, when the
Soviet house was raided in London, on
May rs, 1927, press dispatches from the
British capital stressed the fact that
among the evidence procured was list
OF Soviet agents in Mexico and Central
America.
In the middle Of March, 1927, Com
muniSt propaganda in Mexico reached
daring proportions. A Russian-made
motion picture, La Bahia de la
Muerte" death Bay, was extensively
announced throughout Mexico City on
billboards that read in part: "Bolshe-
Wiki propaganda authorized by the
Mexican government"
The police stopped the showing of
the MIN and arrested the owner of the
theater. The picture showed Czarist
officers forcing a political prisoner to
walk the plank" with heavy weight
attached to him, to drop to his death
in the bay below.
In many forms Communism showed
its strength in Mexico. Chief among
these was the publication of the Com
muniSt newspaper, lei Machete," the
knife or Ratchet, which devoted much
Of its space to attacks directed at the
then American Ambassador to Mexico.

tional policies, or the spreading OF
propaganda which it does not sustain.
Following this interchange Minister
Pestkovski thought 1t high time that
some shrewd diplomacy be employed to
ease the strain. His method was simple
In a public statement issued two days
after the Gales rebuke, PeStkovski told
correspondents that it had all been a
reprettable mistake, that Tchitcherin
had not intended to imply for moment
that Mexico might be construed as a
paw Of bolshevism.
Error in Transmission Blamed.
He said in part, speaking through his
first secretary, Victor Volinski, an agree
able member of the legation staff OF
that period, that neither his govern
ment nor he had ever pretended to make
use of the influence of the Mexican
government or of the labor organizations
to develop any specific policy.
I'm order to demonstrate that Com
miSsar Tchitcherin had no idea OF
wounding the sovereignty of Mexico,
should point out that Senior BaSilio
Vadillo, Mexican Minister in Russia,
said upon his arrival in Russia, both
revolutions, the Russian and the Mexi-
can, had similar roots and resulted
from the same cause. The aims and
ideals which prompted those revolutions
also appear to me to be analogous"
When DR.. Makar arrived later, he was
agreeable personally, but worked swiftly
in setting up sympathetic contacts in
Mexico. He is said to have organized

rich manufacturers who had made large
campaign contributions.
That Is the argument in opposition
to the President having this power.
Turn now to the objections to Con-
gress having this power.
Suppose the Tariff Commission sent
to Congress a recommendation that the
tariff on, let us say, shingles, be raised
shingles or any other one commodity
ct is in the form of one commodity
at time that the recommendations OF
the Tariff Commission would come to
Congress.)
Would Congress raise the tariff? The
answer Is no. Shingles (and the same
applies to bricks, or shoes, or almost
any other commodity are manufac-
tured in a very small area. The num-
Der Of members in the House repre-
Senting this area, or Senators in the
and these alone would vote to raise a
tariff on a single commodity Every
other member and Senator coming from
districts or States not manufacturing
shingles would think Of themselves a.
representatives of consumers of shingles
and as such would not want to go or
record as having voted to raise the
tar1n on them.
LOG Rolling" Enters.
This is the same as saying that the
tariff can only be raised by log-rolline
process. 1t is the same as saying thai
the tariff can only be raised by the
wholesale process, by a general revision
in which several commodities are EN-.
braced and in which, therefore, large
numbers Of Representatives and Sen
ators have stakes. Only by pooling
their respective interests on a basis Of
one-for-all and all-for-one is the rails
ing Of the tariff accomplished.
What is said on this point is. Of
course, judgment only, because we have
never had any experience with Con-
greSs dealing with the tariff one COM
modify at a time. But it is sound judy
ment and thoughtful persons agree
with it.
Changing the tariff one schedule al
time would be the end of protection
To see the end of protection would
please some persons. But in fact the
process described above would not hap
pen. What would happen may be de-
scribed thus, The Tariff Commission
would send to Congress recommen-
dalton that, let us say, the tariff or
shingles be raised. Thereupon, Senators
coming from a State manufacturing
cement would add an amendment pro-
viding that the tariff on cement be
raised. Other Senators coming from
States manufacturing bricks and from
States raising sugar and from States
making steel would in turn add their
amendments. Promptly we should have
general tariff revision.
Congress Is Congress.
I should add at once that the pro-
poserS of this new plan deny that each
separate recommendation of the Tariff
Commission would be the beginning OF
q general tariff revision by Congress
They undertake to provide, by reSolu-
ton, that only one schedule at a time
should be considered. But at this per-
sons experienced with Congress emit
loud boots of derision. No one Congress
can bind the next Congress by any reso-
luton. And Congress is Congress.

WHEAT OWNERSHIP
IS CONFUSED ISSUE
Filing of Bankruptcy Petition
Raises Question-Was Purchased
With U. S. Funds.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, March S-Owner-
ship Of 100000 bushels of wheat pur-
chased by the Farmers National Grain
Corporation, agency of the Federal
Farm Board, was in doubt today as a
result Of the filing of a voluntary petit
ton in bankruptcy of the Continental
Grain Co. of Minneapolis.
The company filed the petition in the
United States District Court yesterday
by order of its board of directors. The
wheat, valued at about $4,000, was
recently purchased with Government
funds under the Federal farm aid act
and stored in the company's elevator
The Minneapolis Tribune today states
that ownership of the wheat is in doubt
because the warehouse receipts showing
ownership have been hypothecated with
the Northwest National Bank here as
security for loans by H. A. Murphy, in
his capacity as president of the COM
pany.

I'VE SOUND THE ALARM"

to the starving workers with the excuse that:
eve are poor ourselves and unable to give
much credit" He keeps silent about the fact
the workers have no coal, warm clothing and
other necessities for themselves and their FAM
lies He does not say word about the pres
ent mass unemployment and its terrible con-
sequences for the workers.
Well Mr.. Taylor, we, the Communist Party,
also sound the alarm. We tell the workers
that they can get food, clothing and shelter
for themselves and for their families only if
they organize themselves into powerful indus
trial unions, if they organize themselves into
the Unemployed Councils, if they carry on
militant fight for immediate relief
But more than that. We, the Communist
Party not only say this to the workers, but
we ar actually organizing the workers into
these organizations and leading them into
struggle to achieve this.
We demonstrated in this Assembly District
against the eviction of fellow worker C. L.
Thornton, 257 N. Division st. and we succeeded
to keep the sheriff away from his home
We are organizing the workers to fight
against lynchings and discrimination Of the Ne
gro workers. Our organization, the Commu-
mist Party was and is the only political party
that carries on an actual struggle against
lynching. Only the Communist Party mobil-
ICES the Negro and white workers for this
struggle.
These are the reasons why the workers
should not vote for the "Holy Three" for the
republican, democratic and socialist party can
didates, who are servants of the boss class,
but register their votes for the Communist
Party candidates, the candidates of the Amer
lean working class.

Injunctions: A Developing Form
of Government Strike Breaking

not to display banners with devices as a
means of threats or intimidation" This is the
tone of all succeeding njunctions-always the
fiction that they are to prevent violence, and
always forbidding effective forms of picketing
and strike action.
The first great wave of injunctions 'by the
hundreds" says Debs, was in the Pullman
strike, 1904.
In 1897 injunctions prohibited organization
meetings in the United M inc Workers strike
They were violated hundreds went to jail, but
the strike was won.
The Bucks Stove and Range Case took place
around an injunction prohibiting publication of
the fact that a struck firm was unfair Gompers
was sentenced to year in Jail but was already
too useful to the bosses to be sent up. The
principle was established against boycott ad-
vertisements.
Government Gets Injunction.
The U. S. government got an Injunction
against the miners strike of 1919. Hitherto
injunctions, in many separate cases, had mostly
failed because they were violated. The A. F.
of L. now recognized injunctions; soon it was
to use them against workers; the strike was
smashed by UNIV. order (''We can't fight our
government"); 365,000 steel strikers were
doomed to struggle without the miners and
were defeated.
Inc government again got OUT lnJuncClOnS
in its own courts against the shop crafts strike
in 1922, prohibiting the use of the word "strike
breaker" or control of the strike by union
heads, use of union money in the strike, ETC.
The rank and file wanted to violate, the Off
Gals hung back; the strike failed.
Paragraph $780,
The injunction appears now in almost every
strike, and reaches its most perfected form in
New York, with permanent wrts issued to
bosses associations and to the A. F. of L.
bureaucrats against militant unions and mill
tant strikers and with Paragraph 600 chopping
down like guillotine, providing double punish
ment for violation.
All past history has shown that purely legal
fight is not enough. The victories of the past
were won by mass violation. Open, mass viola
ton is the way out now.

Candidate of the Communist Party in
A Ii e \

Assembly District, Buffalo, N. Y.
Mr.. Jesse Taylor, owner of the Buffalo
Progressive Herald" and candidate of the
socialist" party in the Fourth Assembly Dis
trict, wrote long editorial in his own paper
under the title of ''We Sound the Alarm"
Mr.. Taylor sheds crocodile tears about the
"danger of the traditions of faithful race,
and the heritages of a God-fearing people,
which should be maintained for prosperity. :"
Here you are, Mr.. Taylor, the socialist" is
very much worried over the traditions of his
race, which traditions should be maintained
for prosperity. Mr.. Taylor in fact is so much
excited, that he is sounding the alarm"
In this long article, after speaking about
the evils destroying the Negro race he prints
the following in heavy types:
'In sounding the alarm we call upon the
Christian Church to use every means to de-
stroy those evils which fain would lay waste
the children of our Common Father"
So the socialist candidate, the same Mr.
Jesse Taylor in the same long article has moth
ing to say about the lack of prosperity. He
has nothing to say about the fact that in the
Assembly District where he is a candidate the
large majority of the Negro workers are out
of work. He does not mention the fact that
the republican and democratic judges are evict-
ing families from their houses for non-payment
of rent. Of course he does not mention this,
for Mr. Taylor, the socialist candidate is
landlord himself and he uses the very same
judges to evict from his homes those workers
and their families who are unable to pay rent.
Mr.. Taylor does not mention the fact that
the grocers in the district are denying credit

News and Propaganda
By JORGE

William l.. writes in, just to tell us what
reader thinks of the Daily, which is nice, and
really welcome. He compliments US on the
exposures of Tammany, but adds that-"There
is too much propaganda and not enough daily
news"
We're glad he mentioned it, as 1t gives US
chance to clear up this point of what the
official organ of the Communist Party ought
to be.
We and with us the whole working class,
do not live in a vacuum or on the planet Mars.
We all exist in a society divided into hostile
classes, the relation of forces being deter
mined not alone by objective factors, prosper
ity, depression, but by what the working class
does under such conditions.
And what the working class does should be
influenced by what the Communist Party pro-
poses it should do The events concerning the
class struggle which are given in the Daily
Worker are not just Facts but facts in re-
lation to the social forces at struggle and the
outcome of that struggle we, the Communists,
must influence or we cease to be party of
action.
The capitalist press is literally filled with
propaganda we'll mixed with news" This
CAPITALIST propaganda is the accepted" thing.
You will rarely find one of the gentry who
claims devotion to "pure facts" getting up
sweat over suSH PlopdSdHud' buU Vii1y al
ways prelude comment on the Communist
press with remarks against "too much propa-
ganda" thus revealing the fact that they feel
quite at home with bourgeois propaganda be-
cause they retain bourgeois theology. Of
course there are exaggerationss of the correct
method, the unskillful blending of "facts" and
conclusions directing the workers to act, the
use of empty phrases.
But a rather authoritative chap on revolu-
tionary movements, Karl Marx, once said
something like: "Our function is not merely
to interpret the world, but to change it."
Come along and let's change it!
