CHRIST~ S FUND FOR AlASS—~ WAR PRISONERS In the Wake of the News - T the central American states are beginning to look up to Mexico #s their leader against Unit- ed States imperialism was emphasized this week when the recognition of the revolutionary govern- ment of Nicaragua by Mexico was followed by in- dications that the governments of Panama, Guate- mala and Salvador would recognize the government formed in Nicaragua by President Juan B. Sacasa rather than the puppet government ef Adolpho Diaz which is bolstered up by Wall Street bayonets. This combination of states—and it may be augmented by new additions—presents a serious threat to the march of American imperialism in South America. 2 poi capitalist papers are in full cry against Mex- ico. As usual they are adopting.a high moral tone. It is not surprising that the Chicago Tribune published in a city where organized gangsterism is a science and where gangster-murderers are immune from punishment, should be among the first to raise the moral flag of belligerency. In a lengthy edi- torial entitled, “Mexico, the Failure in Civilization,” the Tribune barely stops at demanding war with our southern neighbor. The organ of tho Harves- ter Trust, with nauseating hypocrisy, points to the freedom with which Mexican wage slaves are per- mitted to come to the United States as evidence of this country’s generosity. The employes of the packing companies and the steel mills understand this generosity. They know that it can be attribut- ed to the fact that the Mexicans are willing to work for @ lower standard of living than American work- ers who are turned away from the factory gates while the beneficiaries of American generosity are given jobs at starvation wages. . . * . HE solution of the problem of course, is union- ization of all workers in the United States. Let the labor officials who are busy fighting the radicals get on the job. The Tribune hits the bottom in hypocrisy when it declares pompously that: “It is not in the book that so low an order of society (the Mexican government--Ed,) should remain on the North American continent. This is doing well for a paper that stands for the kind of a government under which negroes are lynched with impunity, which ranks the profession of stoolpigeon with that of a goose-step professor, and under which a strike breaker is recognized, to use the language of the late Professor Eliot of Harvard University, as “the highest type of American citizen.” e. = \* IN the devil was sick he wished to be a saint ‘but when Georges Chicherin wants to recuper- ate he amuses himself by being a statesman and diplomat. Chicherin left Moscow recently with the intention of visiting Germany amt France, where he could rest from the arduous duties of his task in the foreign office. The Soviet diplomat is now whiling away the hours in the Russian embassy on the Unter den Linden, but he is not idle, if writing official statemente for the benefit of the press can be considered work. Of course, there are people who consider writing merely an excuse for dodging work, ‘Once upon a time the writer being question- ed by a policeman as to his occupation, informed 1 WOODROW = [witson ne WAS IN FAVOTR OF IN THLOMATIC EX~ CHANGE MEXIC( MAKES WELLOGG'LOOK LIKE A MONKEY ” . ByT. J. O'Flaherty the officer that he was editor of a weekly paper. The policeman scornfully remarked: “Trying to get away without working, eh.” * . . © HICHERIN is at the head of one of the most im portant departments of the Soviet government, foreign relations. The government keeps him on the job because he thinks, and knows his business. Eng- land would like to see Chicherin lighting his cigar ette in a dynamite factory. Great Britain has vain- ly tried to draw a ring of hostile nations around the Soviet Union. She has failed but is persistent, Chi- cherin is visiting the foreign ministers of various European countries and will impress on them the wisdom of keeping out of the British spider's we Soviet Union can defend herself from attack but war would be a terrible economic drain on the re sources of the young. Workers’ Republic. Besides, The Soviet Union can defend herself from attack but of society where war will be impossible. &*'@ > s'@ N next Tnesday the members of the United Mine Workers of America will decide whether their ‘union is going to be saved under John Brophy or completely wrecked under the leadership of John L. Lewis. Unless the progressives, under Brophy, see that the votes aro properly counted their chance es of electing their candidates are slim, Indeed there is a strong possibility that even if the Lewis counters are obliged to divulge the true count, Lewis will find some excuse for declaring the election i legal, This A, F. of L. bureaucracy is so strongly (Continued on page 6) ee aes
