Montana labor news., 1938-04-07

First concern of the new petro-
leum council will probably be to
step up oil production to prevent
shortage within Mexico and bring in
foreign currency. Mexico's oil pro-
duction has been dwindling, not be-
cause the fields are exhausted, but
because the foreign companies re-
fused to put money into a country
which they couldn't dictate to.
Mexico is prepared to face these
problems. While 1000 people
celebrated Mexico's declaration of
economic independence" in the
streets of the capital city, Cardenas
pledged that the nation will not re-
turn the oil industry to the foreign
trusts even if Mexico is forced to
devaluate the peso and dislocate its
monetary system. Wall Street circles
are reluctantly admitting that ever
if the peso fails to bounce back auto
matically to its old level, Cardenas
can prevent financial crisis by the
swift imposition of exchange control
measures.

heartless treatment of the unem-

committee of unemployed presumed
a hall proprietor into opening the
doors after they had paid the rent.
He protested that the Dearborn well
fare authorities and the police had
threatened to raise his taxes if he
let the unemployed meet. The I'M
employed, most of them union men,
made threats in turn to sue him if
he didn't open up.
So he opened and six detectives
sat through the meeting, getting a
very vivid impression of what the
