RED MEXICO


Mexico is the center and hotbed of COM
munism in this hemisphere; and yet the
average citizen of the United States is as
ignorant of this fact and of actual condl-
tions in that country as are the inhabitants
of Mars, if there be inhabitants on Mars.
This is due to the fact that little Mexican
news finds its way into the press of the
United States and a large part of the al
legged news coming from that country is
propaganda spread through, the efforts OF
communist Mexican government and fire.
quently passed along in this country by
radical sympathizers. and apologfstsS for
Mexican communism. ~ : F.-
In fact, the present government of the
United States issEwarIily and graeiously
friendly to the Mexican regime and it is
believed by well informed citizens of this
country that Mexican President Cardenas'
attack on American business and expro-
priation of American property was in
spired by the attitude of the so-called new
deal to business in this country. Cardenas
believed that he could take steps while the
Roosevelt administration was in power
which never would have been passed over
without trouble for Mexico by any other
national administration in the history of
the United States. -.-,.. -.-
That Cardenas made a safe estimate of
the attitude of those in control of this
country has been evidenced since the seiz-
ure of American property and the high
handed action of the Mexican in virtually
slapping the government of the United
States in the face when protest was made
as to the procedure of Mexico's communist
bosses. Cardenas defied the United States,
knowing that his friends and fellow radi-
Gals now in control of this government
would take no action whatever beyond
making an empty gesture of protest.
The story of the rise of communism in
Mexico is a long and startling one which
cannot be detailed in these columns for
lack of space, but this newspaper suggests
that patriotic citizens who are interested
in the future welfare and security of then
country will act wisely in informing them
iseives thoroughly as to what has happened
in Mexico, as to present conditions and
probable future developments. The Times
News has information which it will be
pleased to pass on to such persons.
I This information includes the story o1
the recent visit to the international labor
congress in Mexico of John L. Lewis, lead
, er of radical or communistic labor organ
izations in the United States. This inter
national labor congress was gettogethel
meeting of communists from Throughout
the world. The communist salute was Civ
en- from the speakers platform by numer.
rous international leaders of communism
and all the trappings and spectacular
phases of communism were emphasized
lone attending the gathering could have
9well imagined it was being held under
communist auspices in Russia
At this communist labor congress John
Lewis was hailed as buddy by the ASSEM-.
,bly. Speaking to this gathering of red rad.
icals, Lewis attacked the industrial and
business system of his own country; and
speaking in the Mexico City bull ring ht
compared President Roosevelt to Presiden
'Cardenas, saying that Roosevelt is doins
the same things in this country that Car
denas is doing in Mexico; and he continues
in his best radical agitator style, making
frenzied attack on business and bushes
