This is a factual and docum
ented account of a Nazi
invasion of our continent. An invasion already accom
-plished, an A
xis bridgehead already established—a base
already p
repared
and fro
m w
hich
new
perils th
reaten
the United S
tates.
Vicente L
ombardo T
oledano, president of the Latin
Am
erican Confederation of L
abor (CT
AL
) warned the
Mexican people and the M
exican government last N
o-vem
ber that this, and no less, was the significance of the
Synarchist m
ovement in M
exico. H
is warn
ing m
ust b
e heed
ed, n
ot o
nly
by M
exico
, but by the U
nited States. F
or the Synarchistas in M
ex-ico
are blo

Fro
m its earliest b
egin
nin
gs, fascism
was d
eter-m
ined to dominate the w
hole world.
On M
ay 26, 1927, in a declaration which has since
beco
me fam
ous, B
enito
Musso
lini said
that "th
e 20th
century w
ill be the century of fascism."
Hitler him
self has proclaimed that G
ermany w
ill be a w
orld power, or it w
ill be nothing. M
exico
has b
een assig
ned
its role in
this A
xis p
ro-
gram of w
orld conquest. Fascism
needs Mexico. E
xactly w
hat d
oes it w
ant o
f our co
untry
? What are its aim
s here?
The A
xis wants:
1. T
o u
se Mex
ico as th
e nearest b
ase for N

e United

2.
To use our country as a source of raw

The S
ynarchist concept of the state is identical with
that of Hitler and M
ussolini. W
hat is th
e state in Italy
and G
erman
y? It is a
corporate state. Its structure is based upon compulsory
"guild" organizations, directed by a power w
hich gives m
arching orders to the whole com
munity, takes no ac-
count of majority opinion, tram
ples upon the country's noblest traditions.

he "labor" leader Rossoni, in the A

: "In th

Hitler says in M

It is the H

It is not the hour of social revolution, fascist gentle-
men, reactionary gentlem
en of Mexico.
It is no
t the h
ou
r of fascism
, certainly
no
t that.
It is the hour of the freedom of the people w
ho have lost freedom
. It is the hour of the Mexican F
atherland, th

pins, nor overseers of the Aryan race. T
hey want to be
free, Mex
icans, o

their own country.
It is the h
our o
f the M
exican
Fath
erland w
ith its
wom
en, with our w
omen so ignorant, so poor, so long-
suffering, so stupidly treated by men. F
or our wom
en it is still the M
iddle Ages, still the colonial era.
Sev
eral day

ed S

e of a saying still prevalent in certain regions of S
pain. It m
ade m

ot resist rep
eating
it here,
becau
se it not o
nly
reveals S

, but also
our o
wn
situation. A
dau
ghter ask
s her m
oth
er: "Moth
er, what is to
g
et married
? Wh
at is to g
et married
?" "D
aughter, to get married is to eat, to conceive, and
to weed."
It is the hour of the Mexican F
atherland—not w
ith
20
wom
en as th
e tools o
f pleasu
re and p
ain, b
ut w
ith
wom
en worthy of the m

ur o
f the M

Fath

with
its children. W
ith its children who do not w
ant to be beg-gars an
y lo
nger, w
ho w
ant to

well, sleep in clean beds.
It is the h

ant Mexico to be truly for the M

for th

ho
still call Mex
ico "M

warm
ly, passionately, gratefully. It is the hour of the F
atherland of all the oppressed, poor, persecuted, ignorant people; of all those w
