——_—_—_— ‘MEXICO CONSUL Page Two REPLIES TO U.S. PAPAL ATTACKS Rebel Priest Banned by! Charch and Executed | M, G, Prieto, acting-consul general | In New York City forwarded The DAILY WORKER a reply to the at- tacks of the American catholic bi- shops and priests‘against the Calles}| government. The papal representatives in the United States claim that the catholic hierarchy in Mexico are the real champions of liberty and that the Mexican government is a tyranny. Despite the illegality of the resist- ance put up by the clergy to the laws passed by the revolutionary govern- ment, constitutional force was not , used against them by the government. Only when they resorted to assassina- tion were decisive steps taken to pre- vent them from causing mass blood- shed. Sypporters of Reaction, Senor Prieto charges the Mexican Merarchy with being supporters of reaction. Those facts are well known to every well-informed person in the United States and do not require elu- eidation. The following historical sketch on the activities of the hier- archy in Mexico, by Senor Prieta are taken from his letter to The DAILY WORKER: As to the record of the Mexican Bishops on civil Wberty, the follow- ing incontrovertible facts are submit- ted: Rebel Priest Excommunicated. On the 16th of September, 1810, a humble Catholic priest raised the ban- ner of revolt against the Spanish tyr- ants. His name was Father Hidalgo. For this offense he was excommuni- cated by the Catholic bishops, and suf- fered a most cruel-death at the hands of the Spanish rulers. Another Catho- lic priest, Father Morelos, who took his place, was in turn excommunicat- ed and killed. When the Spanish power fell, the Catholic bishops of Mexico backed the usurper, lLturbide, who proclaimed himself emperor and continued the special pr ges of the church, For the next forty years the Mexican} ehureh hierarchy, as a matter of ab- solute record, supported every reac- tionary government and attacked ev- ery liberal one. Intrigued With France. When, in spite of all they could do, it seemed that the liberal elements in Mexico were to triumph under Juarez, the archbishop of Mexico went to Eu- rope, intrigued with Napoleon Bona- parte Ill, brought a French army to Mexican soil, and placed Maximilian, Archduke of Austria, on the throne of Mexico as emperor, supported by the bayonets of an alien army. For years the soil of Mexico was drenched with the Blood of its people by this French army, whose presence there ‘would have been impossible without the in- fluence of the Catholic hierarchy. On Side of Land Owners. Always their record has been one of opposition to all enlightenment that the s asmen of Mexico strug- gled to bring to its people.

The | ned social legislation which | the Obregon and Calles administra- tions have sought to put into opera- tion has found in the Mexican hier- archy the most bitter of opponents.

It appears that two promi- nent functionaries in the department gre suspected of carrying out the in- structions of the Mexican hierarchy, whose aim is to bring about chaos in Mexico industrially and financially, Morones is one of the strongest sup- porters of the present administration and is considered a likely candidate for the presidency two years from now. ie Unreliable War Tales. NOGALBS, Arizona, Sept. 22.—Re- ports from catholic sources of a Yaqui victory over Mexican troops are dis- counted here. This place is thick with agents of De La Huerta and the Mexi- can hierarchy and they are adept at concocting stories about Mexico that are not so, There is no doubt that De La Huerta agents are busy provok- ing rebellion among the superstitous Indians, but the governmént is suffi- ciently strong to crush the present revolt, The Million Dollar Fund. There are rumors floating around here that emjssaries from the Knights of Columbus are hovering around the border at certain points where arms can be «~uggled across. Supporters of De La Huerta openly boast that the $1,000,000 fund now being raised by the. Knights for their anti-Mexican campaign will be used to purchase arms for the Yaqui Indians. se 6 Mexican Request to U."8. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22—A request from the Mexican government for permission to transport Mexican troops across United States territory for use against the Yaqui Indians was received here. It could not be learned at the state department whether the request would be complied with. Americans in Mexico Kick at Capture of ‘ Banking by British MEXICCO CITY, Sept. 22.—Ameri- can business men in Mexico are more than irritated at the elimination of American banks thru incorporation with Canadian and British interests that leaves the complete control of foreign banking in Mexico in the hands of the British with the excep- tion of one German bank. Americans complain that in spite of Secretary Hoover's drive to cap- ture Latin-American trade for the United States such trade is bound to be lost to the British, who, by finan- cial control, have access fo all the secrets of American trade. When Americans apply for loans to enlarge their business or develop new lines they are compelled to give Brit- ish bankers full information concern- ing the projects, which gives the Brit- ish an advantage in getting into com- petition and taking the trade away from the Americans. As a result American trade is pre- dicted to decline and the British to grow. These complaints say’ that deliberate backing of what they term a “boycott.” The announced inten- tion of this plan was to create finan- cial and industrial chaos in Mexico. They hoped thus to compel the gov- ernment to continue the special privi- leges whioh the hierarchy has never ceased to struggle for. American Professor an Optimist; States Germany Can Pay All (Special to The Dally Worker) BERLIN, Sept. 22.—“The stabiliza- tion of the French currency,” says Prof. David Friday, American eco- nomic expert, “is nearer solution to- day than ever before because tho world has become convinced that Ger- | many will meet the reparations pay- ments.” The professor the collapse of the franc is Europe's “chief financial problem” and that, Germany's aid is increasing by increasing the repara- tions payments, part of which goes to France. | The “expert” gives a rosy view of the expectation of German fulfillment of all future reparation payments, a view not shared by the Germans , on the basis of what he has been accomplished up to American financial interests that seek for an outlet for capital are neglect- ing the opportunity and giving it to the British.

Prohibition Agents Must Sober Up, Says Big Dry Chief Andrews WASHINGTON, Sept, 22.—Pledge of total abstinence from alcoholic drink was demanded of prohibition adminis- trators and their subordinates today by Gen, L, ©. Andrews, dry chief, “The only people in the dry service ‘who can take a drink are the poor devils who must get the evidence,” | [Andrews declared, Morones, | perialists, Ought to Know, Owen is described> by the Wall Street Journal as a leading counselor in government circles before and after the outbreak of the European war and influential in many steps that marked Wilson's administration. Among other things, he helped draw up the federal reserve act, which more than any other measure made possible the financing of the war, Owen contends that the agitation to cancel the allied debt rests on a jmisconception of the causes of the war. He maintains that the American public is still influenced by propa- |ganda that keeps alive wartime con- |ceptions and suppresses knowledge of the facts. He says: German Peril-Was Bunk, “The whole question of the cancella- tion of the war debts is based on the theory that the late war was as much our affair as it was Burope’s, that we were fighting for democracy against German aggression, and that We were obliged to take up arms against Germany as she aimed at world domination, which would ulti- mately involve the United States. This is not the true situation, as any one realizes who has investigated the facts, read the pogt-war literature and studied the official documents and state papers that have since come to light.” imperialists on Both Sides. Owen cites French as well as Eng- lish and American authorities to show that the conflict originated in large measure in an alliance of Russia and France to control the continent of Europe and that German militarism was an effect and not a cause of the situation, “It was,” he says, “this European intrigue which all the people of Europe were victims of but for which we had no moral responsibility. Yet under the slogan of making the world safe for democracy we were actuall) drawn into fighting for a cause whic! was originally Russia’s and France's Merely “Good War Propaganda.” Owen holds it misleading to at tribute to Germany the entire blam: for the world war, saying: “That wa: good propaganda during the war which the allies made the most of and we did, too, which was alright as a war measure. We spent $3,000 000 on that kind of propaganda and « have no doubt England and France spent as much as $50,000,000 between them on that score here.” The Cost of a Lie. Thus by the admission of an in sider it took over $50,000,000 of false propaganda to lead the American peo- ple into a war which cost them the lives of 77,000 young men, the wound- ing of over 200,000 more, and approxi- mately $40,000,000,000 in money. Men and women who suggested as much in 1917 were lynched and jailed, also as the fruit of the $50,000,000 Anglo- French propaganda. Another Expose Needed, There remains but one more step in the disillusionment of the American people as to the high ideals for which the United States took part in the war. The economic interest of Amer- ican capital in making the world safe for its enormous profits must be ex- posed by some insider. Sooner or later some person who during the war was clos@ to the international bankers centering around the House of Mor- gan will accidentally lift the lid and the secret will be out. Here’s hoping it happens before a new flood of well- financed propaganda leads the people into supporting some new war, posst- bly in Asia, in behalf of America’s imperialist bankers.

The heroic struggle of 16,000 strik- ing textile workers of Passaic and yi- cinity for a union and a living wage has gripped the hearts of the work- ingclass as has no other event in re- cent labor history, | | Fifteenth Century! Autocracy. Now that the thrilling motion pic- ture, “The Passaic Strike,” has been completed, workers thruout the coun- try will shortly have the privilege of seeing with their own eyes the stir- ring incidents of the struggle of the Passaic textile strikers in their cour- ageous battle against fifteenth cen- tury autocracy in industry and the insidious company union with which the mill autocrats have attempted to tool their workers, In addition to the strike scenes, there is a prologue acted by some of the strikers themselves, showing the home life of a typical mill family as it carries on the struggle for a pre- carious existence on starvation wages, with the mother and children forced to work in the mills to make even that existence possible. This picture brings home more forcefully than a thousand speeches the eheer necessity of a united front of the workers with which to meet the united front of the bosses. Too Few Films, ap There are too few labor films of any kind and not another that depicts the struggles of the workers during a strike. The motion picture, “The Passaic Styike” should receive the whole-hearted support in routing and dating of every intelligent worker, both because of its ¢ducational value and its help to Passaic’ strike relief. er) Detroit Labor Behind Big Passaic Concert Scheduled for Sept. 29 DETROIT, Sept. 20.—Organized 1a- vor in this city has rallied solidly to he cause of strike relief for the ieroic Passaic strikers, At every meeting of the conference iore unions affiliate.

LOUIS ENGDAHL, IRAVELING from one city to an- other, buying and looking over the different local capitalist news- papers from day to day, one is in- creasingly struck with the sub- serviency of the bought press to great business, Thus I secured a copy of The Cleveland News coming down on the train from Buffalo, It had a special supplement heralding “Cleveland’s Achievement Celebra- tion,” especially sponsored by this publication in celebration of the fact that it is moving into its new home, where it will continue to do a “Brass Check” business on an in- ereased scale under the same pa- tronage. ‘ From beginning to end the special |+ supplement of The Cleveland News was a glorification of the city’s great banks and other financial institu- tions. Other special editions were announced for the week. “5 oe ® Cleveland, Ohio, grows out of the steel mills, the coal mines and the other great ingustries of this dis- trict.

Here was the usual pandering to the self-acclaimed “initiative” of the present ruling class. eee Then the New York Times ap- Dears, with a special supplement to celebrate its 75th anniversary. It, too, must narrate the beginnings of to France and Belgium in return for the National City Bank, the House of Morgan and other agencies of high finance, allowing the great pro- fiteers to pin huge bouquets of roses on themselves in spread eagle ad- vertisements, at the same time join- ing in the chorus with special articles and numerous illustrations. a O® New York City is a great human beehive. Cleveland and Rochester are only less so. Millions are bent daily upon the rack of toil. The New York Times, The Cleveland News and the Rochester, N. Y., Hearst sheet, do not see the mil- lions, They can only see the million- aires, or, to be more correct, the multi-millionaires. This is not even a back-scratching affair, in which the kept press scratches the tender skin covering the puffed flesh of its capitalist over- lord, where he cannot reach himself, in order to receive a similar service in return. Not at all. The press is a complete lackey, doing every bid- ding of the master class, in turn re- ceiving such financial crumbs as the master class chooses to throw its way. Of course, this is usually suf- ficient to keep it alive, and a little more, if its record for subserviency is complete, showing no bit of sym- pathy for the working class. Yet it is this foul press that labor supports. What have the workers of Cleveland to say when they read in The News the article, “How Cleveland’s Financia] Leaders Have Made This City Known the World Over”? To be sure this sheet offers its readers morethan half a dozen special writers to tell the story of the Tunney-Dempsey prizefight at Philadelphia, Thursday night, the greatest drawing card of the capital- ist celebration »of the 150th anni- versary of the revolursonary war of 1776. mn What have the Workers of the Steel mills, the coal mines and the railroads of Ohio to say when The News declares, “Financial Giants Old and New, Make Cleveland Wonder City”?

Not because of the struggles of the railrodd engineers to build an organization of their class and to ald all railroad work- ers, but because the officials of the engineers’ brotherhood have gone into the banking business them- selves in Cleveland and elsewhere and become respectable in the eyes of the enemy capitalist class. eee In one other respect, however, the workers do get a little attention. It is shown that the Motris Plan Bank in Cleveland has enjoyed “phenom- enal growth.” The Morris Plan Bank is a money-landing concern. It loans money, mostly to workers, at high rates of interest. The success of these money lenders in Cleveland would indicate that the workers are not so well off. The Cleveland bank started in 1916 with 3,100 loans ag- gregating $888,511. The last fiscal year saw 15,616 loans, amounting to $5,708,000. This is an average of less than $350 constituting the small sums that the penniless worker needs to fight off the walf of pov- erty, The capitalist Cleveland News glories in the fact that its financial “geniuses” are able to show “‘phe- nomenal growth” eveh in this Shy- lock business. f eee Thus the capitalist class, how- ever, reveals that it is 100 per cent conscious of its own interests. This class consciousness of the present Tuling class is ably reflected in its , press, The workers must develop a class consciousness just as militantly 100 per cent for the class interests of | labor as this loyalty of the capital- ists to their class interests. That class consciousness must also de- velop the realization that labor needs its own press to reflect its interests and to carry on its struggles. Against the capitalist class the working class.

W., the defendants. called into court 15 of their fellows to testify as to their character. One by one as these left the witness stand, they were arrested and charged with a felony under the “C, 8.” law. They were tried in two batches of 10 an@ five each in Busick's court, and were all convicted and sent to state’s pris- on. Three of them were convicted on identical testimony which had freed them in Los Angeles county. During the trial, Busick held that a general strike might be held in violation of the “C. S." law.
