DISCUSS DEBTS Bankers to Exact Hard | Terms From Mexicans MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Nov. 22. —Announcement of the projected return to the United States of Am- bassador Dwight W. Morrow, for-| mer member of | the firm of J.| | P. Morgan, was { today linked | with reports | that Luis Montes de Oca, minister of fi- nance, will leave this city shortly to discuss Mex- ico’s foreign in- debtedness with financiers in the United States. It is suggested that Morrow’s report to his former partners will gravely qualify any decisions they may make on the guestion of Mexican debts and fur- ther grants of credit. De Oca will come to the United States to hold conferences with the International Committee of Bankers on Mexico. It is understood, despite the un- efficial intimations of Dwight Mor- row, that the bankers will make ex- cessive demands for security for any fresh credit granted and will exact a definite agreement for the payment of interest and the au- thorization of Mexico’s foreign debt. The agreements entered into with Adolfo de la Huerta and with for- mer finance minister Pani have been unsatisfactory to the bankers, who claim that Mexico’s ability to pay was over-estimated. A close inter-relation of the ques- tion of foreign debts and the debt of the national Mexican railways is understood to exist. The American bankers are long alleged to have special interest in gaining control of the Mexican rail- ways. The total Mexican funded debt with interest totals about $545,000,- 090, with a floating debt of $80,- 500,000. f Present at the conference, which will probably be held in New York City or Washington, will be J. P. Morgan and Thomas W. Lamont, Morrow’s predecessor as Morgan en- voy in Mexico. T. W. Lamont, Morgan Agent. IMPERIALISTS FLING WORDS Find New Evxeuse for| Rhine Occunation | PARTS. Nov. 22.—The reaction- ary French press has found another excuse for keening the French forces | in the Rhineland. Both the Journal | des Debats and the Liberte demand | that the troops be not withdrawn | until the United States ratifies the Kellogg pact to “outlaw” war. The reasoning is subtle and, as someone has remarked, attacks the imperialism of another government to divert attention from its own. The Journal reasons as follows: “France must have a guarantee that Germany will pay reparations and will not start another war against indefensible France. Lo- carno and the treaty of Versailles is not enough, for experience has shown France that they are not binding, France will not commit itself as far as to say that the Kel- logg pact is binding, but anyhow it is well to use the opportunity to show up United States imperialism and at the same time keep its troops in the Rhineland. “That apostle of peace, Mr. Cool- idge wishes to have his navy bill for the construction of fifteen cruisers voted first of all. He wishes be- fore he leaves the White House to give to America a naval construc- tion program corresponding to American imperial policy.” Organize the unorganized! | | Above is a remarkable photograph of the lava stream from Mt.

Before the District Political Committee was able to receive. official information regatding the Cannon affair, the | new Trotsky group had sent ovi} their statement to all their former | supporters and possible present sup- | porters. In Kansas City, before all District Executive Committee mem- | bers coyld be notified, sympathizers were asking us for more detail’ | about the expulsion.

A liberal, a pessimist, anyone who thinks we are crazy for talk- ing about the war danger, one who wants us to be legal in all our ac- tions in the struggle against cap- italism, one who takes on every new fad that comes along, was able to read the statement of the Trotskyites of the Party before Political Commit- tee members could.

It is not only a po- sition that runs into the camp of \the Lorites, but also into the camp of the socialists and labor fakers, the capitalists and all enemies of the Soviet Union. The socialist traitors and the cap- italists tell us that socialist con- struction in the Soviet Union is a myth and now Jim Cannon joins | this chorus when all facts available prove the steady development and construction of the socialist produc- tion.

NEW YORK CITY. Central Executive Committee in its determined fight against the right danger and its. worst expression, counter-revolutionary Trotskyism, in the Workers (Communist) Party. The secretary of Street Nucleus No. 3 has just announced the unani- mous adoption of a fighting resolu- tion by its members in pledging support to the Central Executive Committee. The official release follows: After a thorough and complete discussion of the statement of the Central Executive Committee on the expulsion of Cannon, Abern and Schachtman, and on the | Trotsky question, printed in the recent issue of the Daily Worker, Street Nucleus No. 3, District 5, passed the following resolution unanimously: “Stret Nucleus No. 3 of Pitts- lurgh unreservedly supports the energetic measures taken by the Central Executive Committee against the counter-revolutionary, menshevik Trotskyist oppositior movement in our Party, crystal- lized by the discredited renegade, Cannon. Out Street Nucleus sig- nifies its. intention of energetic- ally assisting our Central Execu- tive Committee to eradicate this counter-revolutionary, social-dem- ocratic anti-Party, anti-Comintern tendency, and to assist our Cen- tral Executive Committee in strug- gling against all right wing man- ifestations and to struggle for the victory of Leninism over Trot- skyism.” f This resolution was carried unanimously at a full meeting of our Street Nucleus on Sunday, Noy. 18.

The convention’s reso- lutions reflected the conflicting ten- dencies of these groupings. A ma- jority of the delegates sustained the executive board’s recommendations for “justifiable cooperation” with employers; and on the other hand nearly all the delegates vgted in! favor of a resolution urging the re-: sumption of trade relations between Canada and the Soviet Union.
