The Chamorro government, now succeeded by. the Diaz regime, against which the revolution was aimed, is a puppet of American imperialism and under its rule there was more than a suspicion that the American state department and other representatives of Wall Street were preparing to use Nicaragua as a new base of operations against Mexico. They still are Representing the nationalist opposition to domination of Latin- America by American imperialism, the Mexican government is cer tainly within its rights in giving all possible aid to the movements in other Latin-American countries which likewise oppose. foreign domination. 3ut the rulers of America arrogate to themselves the privilege of assisting or opposing various ,political groups in Latin-America even to the extent of armed intervention as was the case recently in Nicaragua where, unless the capitalist press correspondents have the negotiations between the Chamorro govern iied consistently, ment and the reyolutionists were conducted on board an American battleship and under American supervision. The fear of a Latin-American bloc against American imperial- ism is, of course, the motive behind the virulent attacks on Mexico following disclosures of sympathetic support for the Nicaraguan Mexico is the natural bulwark to American invasion leader of an anti-imperialist moyement in ‘evolution. und also the natural Latin-America. The Chicago Tribune, one of the most outspoken baiters of Mexico, is demanding action on the Nicaraguan question. It says: Misguided benevolence has prevented the United States from pro- tecting its rights against Mexican aggression and forced on this country a policy of soothing submission. The United States has had chronle provocation in border raids, the murder of American citizens in Mexico, and the seizure of American property. The United States h: had to content its indignation with the unsuccessful Villa expedition, the Vera Cruz fiasco, and much letter-writing. lt is not expe: g too much to hope that the administration will include the Nicaraguan affair in Its literary horizon and make the ensuing epistle a strong one and a definite, plainspoken one. The memory of the Tribune is conveniently faulty. American aggression against Mexico did not begin with the period following the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz and the series of revolutions and counter-reyolutions, with counter-revolutions gen erally fomented and financed by American capital, which ensued. The whole state of Texas was once Mexican territory as was the state of California force and it is also a historical fact that the United States once waged a war which is called-the “Mexican War” in the school his tories. But these errors in fact which result in picturing the Pershing expedition and the bombardment of Vera Cruz under the Wilson regime as the only armed interventions by the United States, are of little importance compared. with what the Tribune now advoeates, i. e., prevention by any means possible of Mexico establishing such s fit with other Latin-American republics. department takes the action ailvocated by relations as she sé If the state the Tribune it is tantamount to a declaration that only Latin-American | bloes which accept the policy of penetration of and conquest by! American imperialism will be tolerated. The attitude of the anti-Mexican American press toward the Nicaraguan incident should be the most powerful argument pos. sible in convincing the Latin-American republics of the necessity of common action for self-defense. i Queen Marie Gets a Jolt—More Are Needed In a gold laminated wrap, collared with sable, a weed green felt hat draped with ostrich of the same shade, a matching charmeuse gown ‘and gold brocade pumps and hose of the same shade, Queen Marie stepped from the royal train. Three large pearl necklaces of varied size, single large pearl earrings and several diamonds and pear! rings completed her costume. ...-+ + So the Chicago Tribune correspondent describes the get-up in which gaping curiosity seekers beheld the queen of a country whose workers and peasants have the lowest living standard in Europe as she entered the Toronto railway station. It remained for representatives of Ukrainian societies in Toronto to give the bejewelled royal courtesan a severe jolt and again bring sharply to the attention. of Canadians and Americans alike the terrible conditions under which the Roumanian masses live. The same dispatch from which we quote above goes on to say: . The incessant flow of laudation with which Queen Marie was greeted in Toronto was rudely interrupted, however, by the presentation to her by the Ontario Ukrainian community of a petition, respectfully but in- sistently, deploring conditions In Roumania under “your government.” It drew her attention to alleged injustices accorded Ukrainians in Rou- mania In the matter of education, political and economic restrictions, the requisition of horses from peasants for military purposes, and the incarceration of about 2,500 political prisoners in Roumanian jails... . It ended: “Im general we are convinced that living conditions of our brethren under your government are deplorable and far worse than they were before the great war.” A few more incidents of this kind and the royal parasite will be glad to believe that King Ferdinand is ill enough to require her return, In the meantime the frenzied attempts to popularize the ruler of a country which can be used a base for a new attack on the Soviet Union, in advance of a loan from American bankers, will proceed. The oil deposits of Roumania will be at least part of the security for the loan and the sickening subservience of the American press will be described, in, detail in the official Roumanian press so that the prestige of the royal personage whom American imperialism ix aa will be increased and its power of suppression enhanced. . They were taken from Mexico by armed | from Comrade , a copy* of which he received, pudiating the wholly untrue version | of his criticisms of Comrade Zinoviev, which the New Leader reprinted ver- | batim from a Hearst news dispatch, and a repudiation of which the New Leader publicly promised to publish if Comrade Stalin would make such a repudiation, we publish herewith a cut of a certified copy of the cablegram from Comrade Stalin as received by |The DAILY WORKER, We publish also the statement of |Comrade Stalin carried by the Inter- natiqnal Press Correspondence, Vol, 6, No, 65, its issue for the 7th of Oc- tober, HE editor of the New Léader tried to squirm out of the mess he had mixed for himself when he accepted a capitalist press dispatch as a true and curate account of Comrade | Stalin’s utterances, and based” his | case upon the veracity of the-Hearst press, by insisting that the words the cable received “affirm all July criticism” in the cable ag received by us represented an at- tempt either by us or Comrade Stalin | | Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to evade the issue. We call attention especially to the statement of Comrade Stalin pub- lished in the International Press Cor- respondence, a publication which car- | ries all official statements of the Communist International and its of ficials. Our readers will notice that the official version, signed by Stalin does NOT say “a¥firm all July critic- ism” but DOES say “affirm or deny” as cabled by the editor of the New Leader, NFORTUNATELY for this gentle man, the cut of the cablegram to gether with the statement of Comrade Stalin published in the number of the International Press Correspondence | cited (which is available to all inter- ested: persons and the subscription rate of which is only six dollars per year) exposes the pitiful artifice to which he has resorted in an attempt to excuse and explain one of the most despicable attempts to distort the statements of world revolutionary leaders ever made in America. HE editor of the New Leader, like the leaders of the moribound so- cialist labor party and other enemies of the Communist International and |the workers’ and peasants’ govern- ment of the Soviet Union, follows what is called an “inside strategy.” Such a strategy is resorted to by leaders of discredited and nearly de- {funet organizations when they, have lost hope of winning new recruits and | have to spend ail their energy in keep- ing what they have. | “Inside strategy” of this kind spe- | tializes in downright deceptions de- signed to prove to the still faithful few that bad as their decrepit or-| ganization may be, what is outside of it is infinitely worse. | |MVHE lengths to which leaders fol- | + lowing this kind of strategy will go, forced by the logic of their situa- jtion to indulge in more and more in- volved and dangerous deceptions, is [obvious to every intelligent worker. The editor of the New Leader, to | }use a term originating in the Roman | arena when gladiators fought’ sword and shield with net and trident, has |been caught in his own net, the net | of deception he attempted to weave to show that leaders of the Communist | International, the leader of the world revolution, had abandoned all idea of revolutionary struggle against world | | capitalism—as he, his paper and his | party have, We remind the editor of the New Leader again that he has promised to publish Comrade Stalin’s cablegram. | British Put Limit on Rubber Exports to Bolster Prices | (Special to The Daily Worker) | LONDON,-Oct, 27.—From November | on, for three months, the new govern: | ment regulations of rubber exports |from Ceylon and Malaya provide for a reduction of the exportable allow ance from the present 100 per cent to 80 per cent of production, The aver- |age price in the last quarter fell be- low 21 pence. | If the average, price of rubber fs | below 21 pence (about 42 cents), but | {not under 15 pence (about 30 cents) \per pound during.an} quarter, the ex- portable percentage of the standard production ander the new rules will | be cut by 10 per cent, If, however, the reduction is from | the figure of 100 per cent, the reduced percentage for the following quarter will be 80.
