Tuesday's contribution, in place of showing an increase, represents a falling off of nearly $200 as against Monday. There remain only Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday in this month in which The DAILY WORKER will receive contributions. : To reach the $25,000 mark by next Tuesday means that we must raise $1,000 each day during these five days.

The death of Com- jin marks the passing of (Continuea on page 2) American Imperialism Shows Its Teeth Workers Must Support Mexico Against Attacks of Government in Interest of Wall Street Statement by the Central Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party. HE government, acting for the Imperialist American,’ capitalist exploiters of Latin Amertea, is preparing for a new attack upon Mexico. The workers of this country face the danger of being called upon to fight a war for the investments and profits of the American capitalists in, Mexico, Central and South America. Last week the capitalist press flooded the country with propaganda against Mexico because of alleged interference with the imperialist schemes of the American capitalist and government to maintain Central America as the backyard for imperialist adventur ind profits of Wall Street. Yesterday Secretary of State Kellogg, under orders from Wall Street's president, Coo- lidge, threatens Mexico becauee it dares to assert Its right to contro! the natural resources within its territory. From threats of withdrawal of recognition of Mexico to armed interven- tion to protect the investments and profits of the Amerigan imperialists Is only a step, but™a step which will involve the sacrifice of the lives of thou- sands of American workers. Thus It is becoming clear where the imperialist exploitation and domination is leading this country and the dangers which lay ahead for the workers. American imperialism—Wall Street—backed by the American govern- ment and its marines has for a decade or more been engaged in the business of, overthrowing governments opposed to Its schemes of exploitation in the West Indies and Central America. Haiti, Santo Domingo, Nicaragua have all felt the welght of the iron fist of American Imperialism, when resistance developed against the unchecked exploitation of these countries by the Wall Street bankers. The governments of these countries set up by the will of the people were ruthlessly driven out with the help of American marines and puppet governments, ready to do the will of Wall Street set up in their place and upheld with the support of American bayonets. ‘The Nicaraguan affair is a striking example of how Wall Street and the Washington government, maintain spheres of exploitation and make of the Latin American countries colonies dominated by American imperialism. Adolfo Diaz, the president elected for Nicaragua thru machinery rigged by Wall Street and the representative of the American government, is a puppet president representing the Amrican capitalis' The effort of the Nicaraguan people td throw out this agent of Wall Street and establish a government of their own which will protect their Interests, Is met by the bayonets of the marines from the American warships. HAT has happened in Nicaragua has happened and will happen in all of the Central and South American countries in which the American imperialists are investing the billions wrung from the exploitation of the American workers. Under one form or another these countries are being brought under the sway of American imperialism, backed by American war ships and American marines. The status which the American imperialists have decided upen for'Latin America is that of a vast colony whose people must submit to bitter exploitation and swell the profits of the American capl- talists. In thiswwork of subjugating Latin America the American capitalists | have the unlimited support of the Amerloan Government wna all its military and naval power: \ ‘ Mexico stands in the way of this great scheme of imperialist agrandize- ment. Mexico has shown resistance to the American imperialist and their Washington government. It has declared that the resources of that country belong to the Mexican people and not to the Wall Street bankers. It has adopted provisions in its constitution which seek to return to the Mexican people the natural resources which previous Mexican governments, amenable to the Influence of the Ameriéan imperialists have turned over to these free booters. It is Decause Mexico insists upon enforcing these provisions of its con- stitution and laws that Secretary of State Kellogg is threatening the Mexican government. Kellogg, who issued a warning intended for Mexico that it must not Interfere in Nicaragua in support of the effort of the people of Nicaragua to gain control of their own government, brazenly inteMeres in Mexico to compel Mexico to revise its laws to suit the American imperialist exploiters of Mexico. Kellogg deciares in his note against the effort of the Mexican government to enforce the provisions of the constitution of Mexico: “It strikes at the very root of the system of property rights which lies at the basis of all civilized society.” ERE we have the same reason given for American imperialist interven- tion In Mexico that Kellogg has given for the refusal to recognize the Soviet Union—the property rights of the capitalists are endangered. ~7/ It le to protect these property rights of the American capitalists that the American workers will be called upon to fight, to give their lives, to sacrifice upon the bloody battlefields if American imperialism goes its way unchecked by the power of the workers. Mexico, because of Its r tance to American imperialism, is today the rallying point for the struggle of all Latin America In the fight against Amer ican imperialist domination. The countries of Central and South America head of them the same fate which has befallen Haiti, Santo Domingo and Nicaragua unless they unite in the struggle against American imperialism. The American workers must ally themselves with the peoples of these countries In the fight against American imperialism and its Washington gov- ernment. They must show the people of Mexico and Latin America that they have an ally in the United Sta’ in the fight against imperialist subjugation, | They must show now that the American workers will not pay in blood and suffering to make Latin America an American colony. They must unite with the Latin American people to fight the exploiters who wrung profits from their labor and use these profits of the labor of the American workers for imperialist exploitation of Latin America. HANDS OFF MEXICO MUST BE THE SLOGAN OF AMERICAN LABOR. FIGHT -THE AMERICAN IMPERIALIST EXPLOITERS IN ALLIANCE WITH THE OPPRESSED PEOPLE OF LATIN AMERICA. These slogans must be raised in 'the entire American labor movement ‘now tf American labor Is not to have a blood bath in a fight for “vested rights” of the American imperialists to exploit Latin America and backed by the organized force of American labor.
