Wednesday, March 26, 1924 URGE WORKERS ARM AND SEIZE POWER IN MEXICO Communists’ Manifesto Demands Action (Special to The Daily Worker) MEXICO CITY, March 24.—The Communist Party of Mexico tells the workers and peasants of that coun- try tn a manifesto that counter-revo- lutionary movements such as those of de la Huerta are a continual dinger ‘until the worérs and peasants them- selves are organized into an army and.a workers and peasants’ govern- ment is instituted. ‘ The present government is afraid of the workers and trusts rather to reactionaries who betray it, as was, shown in the de la Herta fascisti | movement, The manifesto follows: os * Manifesto of the Communist Party of Mexico to the Workers and Pea- sants: HE reactionary rebellion of Sanchez, Estrada, and De la Huerta is near to its end. The gov- ernment, aided by the peasants, the workers, and the major part of the army, has won. During the danger, the Communist Party aided the gov- ernment with all its forces. We did this ‘not because we considered the government perfect but because we understood that the reaction was in- finitely worse. Now that the immi- nent danger of the reaction has dis- appeared, we wish to call the atten- tion of the peasants and workers to the serious errors made by.the Gov- ernment, which made possible the re- bellion,. There is only one way to prevent a counter-revolution. This one way is the formation of a peasants and workers: government, Peasant and worker not only in the legislatures but also in the tribunals; not only in its tribunals but also in its national Execiitive and in the Executives of all the states; not only in its execu- tives but also and above all, in the real force of the government: THE ARMY. Follow Russian Example. When the workers and peasants of Russia conquered in their revolution against the Bourgeoisie in 1917, they created tribunals not of lawyers and advocates, but of workers and pea- sants. The law of the new tribunals said: “Any man that works can serve as judge, except advocates, lawyers, former judges and students of law.’ And the tribunals of Workers’ and ts’ Russia have never blocked the agrarian demands of the peasants, not one land-owner is left in What is what you call an agrarian revolution! When the workers of Ri © sister country—took Peds eri armed all troops in sympathy with the bourgeoisie or the landed inter-|!' ests; they dismissed all reactionary _ generals; they armed all the revolu- tionary peasants and workers; put a ||e; Communist Trotzky at the head of the army; they made generals of the workers themselves and formed the famous Red Guard. This Red Guard has been able, during six years, not only to prevent any counter-revolu- tion, but also to defeat the interven- tion of France, England, Poland, Ja- pan, the United States and twelve other countries, defending itself against the whole united Capitalist World. f Reactionary Generals. Our Government has left an en- tire division in the command of Guadalupe Sanchez, and what is worse, knowing all the time the re- actionary sympathies of Sanchez, commended to him the criminal task of disarming the most revolutionary peasants of Vera Cruz. This is a fact known by every » to which may be added the tragic death of Felipe Carrillo in Yucatan, whose traitorous military elements would have been reduced to impotence, by the workers of the Peninsula if they had been permitted to bear arms. Our Government has left an entire division in the hands of Enriqi President Obregon knew that Estrada was a reactionary in THE PARTY AT WORK 5 | we ————— —__—__—— a | The Struggle for the Party DRUGS == Miners Local Gives Farmer-Labor Party Campaign Fund a Big Boost The response to the call of the Workers Party for a cam- paign’ fund to be used in the fight for organization of a mass Farmer-Labor Party thru the June 17th Convention at St. Paul is increasing in volume—from day to day. The biggest boost given the fund comes from Local Union No. 5302 of the United Mine Workers of America in a remit- tance of $44.85 collected among the members of that organization. This amount was collected by G. M. Shulth and John Telawske by circu- lating the subscription list among the members of the organization men- tioned. Dollars, half dollars and quarters subscribed by these miners, who realize the importance of the struggle for a mass political party which will fight the battles of indus- trial workers and farmers, brought up the total to close to $50.00.

Only the Mexican Government is not yet a government of workers and peasants. In general it is a government, benevolent towards the workers and peasants, but a government of work- ers and peasants—that not yet. And that is the next task of the Revolu- ANTS that should be the slogan of the revo- lutions proletariat. Only a government without a single reactionary judge can put an end to chicanery, which blocks the dis- tribution of land to those who work the land. Only a government with- out. a single reactionary governor, without a single reactionary munici- pal president, without a single re- actionary chief of police, can put a: end to the intervention of the au- thorities against the workers and peasants.

At THE plenary session of the Central Committee of our Party, held in October of this year after the return of a large number of comrades after leave of absence, one of the questions raised was that of the workers’ democracy, and the Political Bureau was commissioned to take a number of measures to- wards infusing fresh life into the inner life of the Party, ete. At this plenary session I had to make a speech in which I stated all the views contained in my article of November 7, which gave the ex- ternal impetus to this Storm in a teacup, It need scarcely be said that it was quite accidentally that this article came to be vhe central int of the contest. If the article ad never been written, we should none the less have had our present debates, for the questions raised in} the article were taken from life, and | it was *aqt possible to escape them. yf The plenary session of the Central ‘Committee passed a resolution ap- proving’ the initiative taken by the Political Bureau and the Central Committee, and the commissioning it to remlize this initiative for the extension of the workers’ democ- racy. A resolution was then passed, the result of continuous preparatory work, and published on December 7, about a month after the publication of my article, and was unanimously acepted by the Political Bureau of the Party, and by the presidium of the Central Control Commission. Il. Why Raise Question Again? At the present time the main question being raised by the opposi- tion is: Why has the question of the workers’ democracy been brought up precisely now, in December? And search is made for the possible causes which ‘may have induced the Central Committee of the Party to bring up this question. There are quite a number of stories in circu- lation among the members of the opposition. I was told, for instance, that Comrade Nevsky, one of our old workers but one who has long since lost his sense of direction and commited one mistake after another, now joining the workers’ opposition, They Demand “Free” District Council, 119 8:|talist powers 5444 Wentworth Ave. | International demands fear ly 818 Pi AD eg St." ‘This means that while the capital- 4 w. list class nts a request |an occasional reader of “The Work- Georgia, But Not India or Ireland At the moment that all the capi- are recognizing Soviet Russia de jure, the Executive of the Second Inter- national in Luxeniburg passed a few decisions which openly display the ambition to be even more anti-Bol- shevist than Mussolini.

UU) now other anti-Party groups, has arrived in Leningrad. With refer- ence to his arrival a report was spread abroad that the decision of the Central Committee—a ‘“mani- festo of December 7”—had been come to under some pressure or other, that the Central Committee had done this in order to soft-soap the Party, etc, And this is by no means the worst anecdote. There are people in the Party who crack even more despicable jokes at the expense of their Party. This the main question is: Why has this question been broyght up just now? These same questions were discussed at the Tenth »Party Congress, and that was only in 1921, Why do we renew the same discus- | sion in the year 19232 Comrades, when replying to this question at one of the municipal meetings at Moscow, I stated that Comrade Lenin himself had already given the best answer to the question. Answéred by Tenth Congress. At the Tenth Congress of our Party, he replied to this question, 80 to speak in advance. The Tenth Party Congress was occupied with the settlement of three great ques- tions: First, the question of the new economie policy; secondly, with the and thirdly, with the formation of fractional groups. The question of the new economic policy I set entirely aside, for it belongs to an entirely different cate- gory: it is a great question, one upon which we shall probably de- bate again, but is not at the mo- ment on the agenda. But the questions of the workers’ democracy and of the formation of groups within the Party are closely | interwoven with one another. At the Tenth Party Congress, Comrade Bucharin was our ‘general speaker | on the subject of the workers’ democracy, whilst the speaker on the subject of Party fractions was| Comrade Lenin. These two ada-| dresses were closely connected with | one another. | Both speakers spoke on behalf of | the Central Committee of the Party, | and represented its views. Thus, after the resolution on the workers’ democracy had been passed, Com- rade Lenin spoke as follows in his! last speech against the formation of groups within the Party (I quote from protocols of the Tenth Con- gress, and recommend all comrades having an interest in these discus- sions to accord careful study to the | more important speeches held at the Tenth Congress): “We require one | or two years for recuperation, cer- | tainly no fewer. Viewed from the | standpdint of history, this is an in-/| significant term, but for our present | conditions it is a considerable | period,” Lenin’s Answer. And then further, ..with..-italios accentuating the words upon which Comrade Lenin desired to lay cial emphasis: “One gf two years in which we can recover from the} famine, one or two years of regular | supplies of fuel, so that the fac- toriés can work, and we shall receive a hundred times more support from the working class, and much more talent will arise from vur. midst. Nobody doubts this, and nobody ,can doubt it, “At the present time we are not receiving such sssistance, and this is not our fault. We are doing everything which can be done for this purpose, No one can maintain that the government, the trade unions, the Gentral Committee of the Party, have let the slightest. op- portunity slip by unutilized in this respect; but we know that desperate distress prevails and that hunger and misery reign, and we know that indifference arises everywhere out of this, “We shall not shrink from call- ing the evil by its right name. It is this which is hindering the uplift of the activity of the masses.” (To Be Continued Thursday.)
