Making It Unpleasant for Belly “rawlers The New York capitalist press chose to say nothing of the dem- onstration Saturday in the densely populated Latin American section of New York City against the regime of fascist terror of the Wr” Street-Calles-Rubio gang of imperialist cutthroats that is murde and torturing Mexican and Cuban workers in Mexico. That means that the demonstration was a success, a success these capitalist sheets could not speak of without acknowledging. The tens of thousands of Latin American workers in Harlem saw with their own eyes that the American workers, led by the Communist Party, came onto the streets and battled with the police in support of their class brothers bleeding below the Rio Grande. The capitalist press could not lie about it as they have done previously, when they sought to make light of demonstrations held in the financial district or before consular offices. So the capitalist papers which give “all the news that’s fit to print” suddenly were struck dumb. And so unanimously dumb that a conspiracy of silence is evident But the belly crawling Ortiz Rubio whom Dwight Morrow of Morgan’s bank had recently elected president of Mexico, will learn with those whom he serves that the workers of the United States mean to tear wide asunder the veil of snivelling hypocrisy which hides the bloody terror regime Morrow and his Mexican bourgeoisie have set up in Mexico. At Detroit, when the workers there gave Rubio a hectic “welcome,” the murderer of our fellow workers in Mexico, before fleeing the city under heavy guard, tried to dismiss the demonstration against him by saying: “One meets with these people everywhere!” And, referring to the Communists, “They, also, have a right to manifest their opinion.” Oh, do they, Senor Rubio? Perhaps you will tell us why, then, you haye suppressed “El Machete,” the organ of the Communist Party of Mexico? Or perhaps you would tell us that Mexican jails do not now hold the leaders of the Communist Party and Young Communist League of Mexico? If Communists have a right to declare their opinions, where are the murderers of Julio Mella who shot him down because he published those opinions in the City of Mexico? Senor Rubio, your lies about “rights” have lent no protection to workers in Mexico. They are not allowed to protest against the fas- cist “Labor Code” and murders and fiendish torture an] imprisonment are the methods the Mexican bourgeoisie and bourgeois politicians, sold out to Wall Street imperialism, use to suppress all those who test those “rights” on Mexican soil. Lies about “rights” cannot bring back from his grave Jose Gua- dalupe Rodriguez, who was murdered in the state of Durango, Nor Hipolito Landeros, murdered in Vera Cruz. Nor Jose Maria Reyes, shot down on Noy. 10 at Puebla. Nor Jesus Martinez, a poor peasant, shot to death on Nov. 5 at Matamores. The workers in the United States regard as precious the life of the humblest peon in Mexico, and resent their oppression and persecution by lying scoundrels who SAUL, SAYLORS, CA INCOURT AS AFL CONFERS’ ‘Terror Against Labor} and Welcome For | Misleaders | In Mill Boss’ Court Press Aiding Thugs { ‘Self Defense Is Basis of Lumberton Case | | | BULLE | CHARLOTTE, N.
