i mn DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WED OCTOBER 12, 1927 Morrows’ Conference at the By H WICKS. (Continued from Last Issue.) HERE are two policies that will probably be followed by Morrow. One will be the familiar policy of try- ing to bribe and intimidate the Mexi- can government. With Obregon the realization of such a policy is by no} means hopeless. Both Obregon and| Calles have made many concessions to | imperialism. If some method can be devised whereby the interests of the! | native capitalists can be reconciled! with the interests of Wall Street at} the expense of the exploited masses| | of Mexico the government will capi- tulate to the imperialists. It is the realization of this possi- bility that imposes upon the Com- munists of Mexico, as the vanguard of the working class and the de- fenders of the exploited workers and| peasants, the necessity of always) maintaining an independent policy, of | constantly pointing out the short-| comings of the government and of keeping before the masses the fact} that their power alone is the one/ guarantee against the depredations | of Wall Street. | While supporting the government| against the counter-revolution the Calles-Obregon regime must be driven forward to ever more aggressive ac- tion against both sections. of Wall Street now preying upon Mexico—the financial collossus, the House of Mor- gan, and the gang of oil bandits around the National City Bank. By participating in the defense of the government against the con- spiracies of the agents of American inyperialism the Mexican masses fight with arms in hand. This fact is of. tremendous significance in the situa- tion in that country. Every effort) must be made to arm the population? as the best guarantee against capis} tulation to imperialism. An armed working class and an armed peasantry will not only be able to defend the na- | tion against the plots from the out- side, but will be able to prevent be-| trayal from within. Before any Mexican government would. dare sell out to Wall Street it would then have | ‘the task of disarming the population. and the first move in that direetion+ should meet with the fiercest resist- tance. So, while defending the gov- ernment against imperialist con- spiracies and weakening imperialism in that country the working class also equips itself to wage its own class State Department on Mexico Dail Head By Six Votes As Government Totters | DUBLIN, Ireland, Oct. 11.—W: | | liam T: Cosgrave was elected presi- | dent of the executive council of the | Dail this evening, by a vote of 76| |to 70. | President Cosgrave’s majority is | So slight that his government faces reat uncertainty. ; Northern War Lords Still Struggle Over Rich Peking Prize Chang Tso-lin forces here today al- leged that they have captured Shih-|® The total amount of funds appropriated for restora- Chiach-Wang, the eastern terminus of the Shansi Railway.

The Dobrobot airmen, Comrade Semenov, pilot, and Comrade Sobetski, mechanic, on the 19th of September flew across the lofty mountain-range of the Hindukush. The flight was performed on a Soviet constructed Jun- kers machine, the “10-13.” The distance between Tash- kent in Central Asia and Kabul in Afghanistan, 950 | kilometres was covered in six hours, 15 minutes. For flight the machine flew at an altitude of 5,000 metres with a load of 720 kilos instead of a normal load of 630 kilos. The highest altitude! reached in the flight was 5,600 kilometres. This is the! first time in the history of aviation that a machine of the type of the “10-13” reached such an altitude over ch ground configuration and such a load. ensu gs.
