Capital City has held much pleasure
for her in this regard, she is especially
pleased when her shopping tours call
her to- New York, which they do fire.
quently,
When asked about the stores in Mex
loo, her reply would prove bit sur
prising to those who still picture the
country Of the Rio Grande as = ssNce
where gay costumes OF Spanish inf1u-
ence and tiny shops of Indian origin
still cling romantically to an age that
has gone modern,
Mexico City is up to date and looks
like any city in this country might,
she avowed. There are large, modern
stores where one can buy the typical
French and English type Of clothes, for
Spanish costumes have been discarded.
We have big office buildings, too," she
went on, but never any of the sky
scrapers' that you have here in this
country"
Food, too, has been greatly altered by
American ways and methods OF prepa-
ration, Sonora de Puig assured her lis
tener that very few Spanish dishes are
TO be found on Mexican menus. livery
thing is genuine Mexican, French and
American" she declared, indicating
that this same influence has a definite
place in her own cuisine.
Sonora de Puig continued discussing
her country.
Many people think because Mexico
is in the tropics 1t is very hot" she
went on. This is true Of some parts
of it, but not all. Through the center
there runs a wide plateau which gives
a very nice temperate climate and
vegetation that grows in such climate.
"One could say that there is one
thing among others that the United
States and Mexico have in common
the Rocky Mountains. I suppose they
could be looked upon as q physical
bond that joins the two countries"
Among the most interesting historical
spots in old Mexico Is to be found IN
the Province Of Yucatan, in the South
western part of the country, she point
ed out. Here are the ruins OF the
golden age of the Mayas, who built
their civilization at the daybreak OF
Mexican history, and carved from the
resources found there treasures that
have not yet been forgotten.
ut must not be forgotten that
Mexico has done much for civilization
in many ways" Sonora de Puig said.
IT think one thing it has given Is art,
Mexican art has been attracting much
attention lately, especially with the
work of Rivera and Orozco."
Then she paid glowing tribute to
the contemporary Mexican artists
whose works have recently been ON
exhibition in the Museum OF Modern
Art in New York Critics, too, have
been acclaiming these painters, who
are doing murals and frescoes that
have been rated as "stupendous.
So it would seem that where there
are barriers Of geography. government,
and race, these things melt away be-
fore the universal response in man
kind to the beauty OF art.

These officers are to be placed I'M

In Germany, the recruiting Of
white guards for service in the Far

kin also entered iEto negotiations

Unemployed Insurance for
Jobless; End Exploitation

The Communist Party calls
upon the millions of workers
and farmers, Negro and white,
and particularly those rank
and file workers who are now
misled by the leaders of the
Socialist Party and the A. r.
of L., to rally to the fight for
these demands. The mass
fight for these demands can
alone develop effective resist
ance to the starvation and war
program of the capitalists.
The fight for these demands,
as proposed by the Commu-
mist Party, means even more.
1t is the starting point for the
final victory of the toilers, for
the establishment of the work
ers' and farmers government
in the United States. This is
the workers Way--the revolu-
tionary way out Of the crisis.
The Communist Party pro-
poses an organized mass stlug-
gle for the above Immediate
demands of the workers, as the
first step toward the establish
ment of a. revolutionary
