Text on the object
Regeneración Escrito por trabajadores y para los trabajadores Semanal Revolucionario No. 154. Sabado, 16 de Agosto de 1913. Saturday, August 16, 1913. La Invasion Americana Nosotros hemos hablado siempre claro desde que el pueblo mexicano se levantó en armas para conquistar sus libertades en el invierno de 1910. La coleccion de REGENERACION demuestra nuestras vistas respecto al triunfo de ese grandioso movimiento y á la probable intervencion de los Estados Unidos de América en caso que la Revolucion llegara al grado de destruir la propiedad que los americanos crearon en ese pais á fuerza de la esclavitud de los trabajadores mexicanos y de las corruptas concesiones de los gobiernos tiranicos que han regido la República en los últimos años. [...] El canal de Panamá que se abrirá en 1915, demanda la posesion de los paises de México y la América Central, por los americanos; [...] todo grita la invasión de México. [...] Woodrow Wilson, Bryan, y demás ridículos reformistas demócratas á la hora precisa que lo demande la poderosa plutocracia americana, ordenarán el desembarque de sus marinos en las costas de México y la invasion de sus cuerpos de ejército por la frontera del norte. [Cartoon] NEXT? [crosses labelled] MADERO / SUAREZ [fallen figure labelled] MEXICAN REBELS — By the Oakland Tribune Cartoonist. ¿EL PROXIMO? Curando Causas y Diagnosticando Efectos El Peligro Amarillo Guillermo II de Alemania fué el hombre que hace algunos lustros señaló al capitalismo europeo el peligro amarillo, la avalancha que los hombres de los países del extremo oriente se preparaban á dejar caer sobre el mundo caucásico. Y el clown alemán tenia razon. El capitalismo chino y la burguesia japonesa, desde entonces, no han cesado de invadir los países que se han dejado, y así han amasado fortunas colosales lo mismo en las costas del Pacífico de los pueblos sajones en América, como en los territorios de los pueblos latinos de este continente. [...] Wilson y la Junta. Los Carrancistas [Remainder of page not transcribed.]
Regeneración Written by workers and for workers Revolutionary Weekly No. 154. Saturday, 16 August 1913. The American Invasion We have always spoken plainly since the Mexican people rose in arms to win their liberties in the winter of 1910. The collection of REGENERACION shows our views on the triumph of that grand movement and on the probable intervention of the United States of America in case the Revolution should reach the point of destroying the property that the Americans created in that country by the slavery of the Mexican workers and by the corrupt concessions of the tyrannical governments that have ruled the Republic in recent years. [...] The Panama Canal, which will open in 1915, demands the possession of the countries of Mexico and Central America by the Americans; [...] everything cries out invasion of Mexico. [...] Woodrow Wilson, Bryan, and the other ridiculous Democratic reformists, at the precise hour that the powerful American plutocracy demands it, will order their marines landed on the coasts of Mexico and their army corps to invade across the northern border. [Cartoon] NEXT? [crosses labelled] MADERO / SUAREZ [fallen figure labelled] MEXICAN REBELS — By the Oakland Tribune Cartoonist. THE NEXT ONE? Curing Causes and Diagnosing Effects The Yellow Peril Wilhelm II of Germany was the man who some years ago pointed out to European capitalism the yellow peril, the avalanche that the men of the countries of the Far East were preparing to let fall on the Caucasian world. And the German clown was right. Chinese capitalism and the Japanese bourgeoisie, since then, have not ceased to invade the countries that have let themselves be, and thus have amassed colossal fortunes alike on the Pacific coasts of the Saxon peoples in America and in the territories of the Latin peoples of this continent.
