Text on the object
Regeneración Escrito por trabajadores y para los trabajadores Semanal Revolucionario No. 155. Sabado, 30 de Agosto de 1913. Saturday, August 30, 1913. La Prensa Capitalista Yankee Tenemos á la vista periódicos burgueses de Nueva York, Michigan, Indiana, Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas y otros estados, en que editorialmente se ocupan de la cuestión que se ha dado en llamar México-Americana, y en todos ellos no se ve otra cosa que el deseo de que México haga la paz para que el bandidaje yanke pueda volver á explotar ese país. Aunque los periódicos republicanos culpan á Wilson por la falta de reconocimiento del asesino Huerta, los periódicos órganos del partido rooseveltiano y los demócratas, opinan diferente, los primeros declarando que los americanos en México han perdido mucho por la falta de protección de ambos gobiernos, el de Taft y el de Wilson, y los segundos, que el único instigador de las manifestaciones anti-americanas en México es el mismo Huerta. Carranza, Embaucador Notas de la Revolucion Woodrow Wilson y el Asesino Huerta Aun no se Pueden Entender [Remainder of page not transcribed.]
Regeneración Written by workers and for workers Revolutionary Weekly No. 155. Saturday, 30 August 1913. The Yankee Capitalist Press We have before us bourgeois newspapers of New York, Michigan, Indiana, Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas and other states, in which they editorially take up the question that has come to be called the Mexican-American one, and in all of them nothing else is seen than the wish that Mexico make peace so that Yankee banditry can return to exploit that country. Although the Republican newspapers blame Wilson for the failure to recognise the assassin Huerta, the papers that are organs of the Rooseveltian party and the Democrats hold a different opinion, the former declaring that the Americans in Mexico have lost much through the lack of protection from both governments, that of Taft and that of Wilson, and the latter, that the only instigator of the anti-American demonstrations in Mexico is Huerta himself. Carranza, Deceiver Notes on the Revolution Woodrow Wilson and the Assassin Huerta Still Cannot Understand Each Other [Remainder of page not transcribed.]
