WASHINGTON, Jan, 2.—The storm of protest that has broken as a result of the United States intervention in Nicaragua has caused President Coo- lidge to attempt to gag the American press. Coolidge called in the Wash- ington correspondents of newsgather- ing agencies and newspapers and beg- ged them to “lay off” the government's policy in Latin-America. Coolidge expressed his ‘“‘dissatisfac- tion” with the criticism of the Nica- raguan invasion, and pleaded with the newspapers, to “support their govern- ment.” Fear “Misunderstanding” Criticism of the government now, he said, would lead to “serious mis- understanding by the American people and the world at 2 at what the United States is ng to do.” He bluntly requested the correspondents to either be favorable to the govern- ment or to “shut up altogether.” Wheeler Demands Publicity. At the same time, Senator Wheeler of Montana demanded that President Coolidge and Secretar. State Kel- Jogg make public the real facts in the Nicaraguan situation, The adminis- tration claims that there is no inter- vention, he said, and that only Amer- | fea ives and property are being “pro; tected,” “Everyone knows,” said Wheeler, | “that every action of Admiral] Latimer in Nicaragua, such, as extension of the neutral zone for 300 miles along the east coast and into every town where the liberals are successful, the holding of the liberals incommuni- cado by strict censorship controverts the claims of the administration that ‘not one ounce of help will be given to either side in the controversy.’ ” The ‘marines were sent to Nicara- gua to maintain Diaz in office, said Wheeler, and to “intimidate an in- (Continued from page 1) today taking in the revolutionary struggle in China. He then called up- on the students to examine more deeply into the conditions in this country, giving it as his belief that there would be a somewhat similar development in this courftry, Engdahl showed how the former college stu- dents, Albert Weisbord, the leader of the Passaic textile strike, and Powers Hapgood, active in the coal miners’ union, have cast in their lot with the working class, and that many other students will do likewise. “Communism js native to the United States, just as it is native to every other country,” declared Engdahl, ridiculing the capitalist propaganda that claims Communism is an import- ‘ed product from Moscow. He showed how the Communist Party, the leader of the workers in their struggle for emancipation, gains its strength out of labor’s growing conflict with capi- tal, and that this condition is pre- valent in all countries, to a greater or léss degree. He explained the con- tradictions within the American cap- italist system that work towards its disintegration and ultimate defeat and abolition. The students’ conference, attended by 3,000 students and meeting in Mil- waukee’s municipal auditorium, was held under the direction of the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian Associations. Ask’ Many Questions, Engdahl was assailed with numer- ous questions following his address. His questioners were especially anx- jous to know why Communists were atheists, and one southerner, from Georgia, wanted to know how the So- viet Union was going to get along without god. Others were worried about the suppression of civil liberties in the Soviet Union, pointing out that it was possible for The DAILY | j tance in Students Urged to Oppose Capitalist Wars Artists’ Post of American Legion Makes Artistic Blander in Letter Artists’ Post No. 63, The American Legion, slipped a cog in its bookkeep- ing and sent on Dec. 22 what it called a “citation” to Miss Linda Jane Wit- tember, It consisted of a card in reeognition of her unselfish assis- their observance of Poppy | Day in 1926.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR SOVIET RECOGNITION, STARTED IN SUMMER, END SUDDENLY (Special to The Dally Worker) MOSCOW — Important overtures were made by the United States to the Soviet Union, In the summer of 1926, looking toward recognition, says a government officlal here, The United States seemed on the point of abandoning its former position, when suddenly something happened and the conversations were aban- doned, It has never been known here what caused the sudden change of attitude, dignant people.” “The prize sought after ig the national bank of Nicara- gua, the railroads and the exploita- tion of the people of a small, defense- less nation.” Wheeler demanded that “the White House spokesman take the American people into his confidence and tell them what American property and what Americans want us to protect them and their property with our gun- boats and marines.” “The United States is helping a few Wall Street manipulators to exploit these people,” he said, eee British and French Attack U. S. LONDON, Jan. 2. — British and French newspapers are joining in the condemnation of the United States’ invasion of Nicanagua, which has so aroused the entire American hemi- phere. “The Nicaraguan incident is evilly nspired from every point. of view,” leclared the London Daily News edi- torially. “There is no evidence at all that American citizens were in the slightest danger from Dr Sacasa and his soldiers, and no intelligent politi- cian of the United States appears to | think they were or that the United States government thought that they | were. | Cites Coolidge “Peace” Talk, | “How can Coolidge carry any moral i weight with the hoary-headed sinners fof the Old World,” the paper asks | with sarcasm, “when he lectures them jon their aggressions and international jintrigues and their short way with | their weaker brethern, when, as soon, as America ig faced with an awkward little problem of diplomacy in her capitalist state and establishing the proletarian dictatorship. Some of the students were also skeptical about de- velopments in the rest of the world taking the same course as they have taken in Russia, They didn’t think Communism would apply in other lands, All of these questions were carefully answered in detail, so that the audience was convinced that they had the Communist viewpoint altho some still declared they were not con- vinced of its correctness. Before Engdah] spoke the students had been addressed by a representa- tive of the local chamber of com- merce. They had also listened to Daniel W. Hoan, Milwaukee's social- ist mayor and to local labor officials. King’s Bishop Warns of New War. One, of the speakers was Dr, G. A. Studdent Kennedy, bishop to King George of England, who declared that what he called the “nationalist faith” bids fair to tear the world into bloody ribbons again today as it has done in the past, He said: “ ‘My country, right or wrong,’ is the cry of nationalism today. ‘My country above all others—my faith and it battle flag” And when faith becomes attached to that then you can be sure that a blood-red sunset will lead to a blood-red door.” The King’s bishop, perhaps with the recent general strike and coal strike in mind, turned his wrath on Bolshevism as follows: “The class faith bids fair to turn society asunder, It is the driving force behind Communism, Bolshevism and a certain quality of socialism.” He claimed that it was only men’s desire to “show off” that drives some to live in palaces and keep their bro- thers in pig-stys; some women to dress or half dress, in fabulously cost- ly clothes while their sisters go in filthy rags.

Outbreak In Brazil. BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 2—It is re-j ported here that a band of-revolution- ists in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost of the Brazilian states, under the leadership of Zecca Netto, have been defeated. This state has been the scene of numerous revolutionary outbreaks in the past few years, chiefly because of the coffee valorization schemes.

LOUIS ENGDAHL, Imperialism plays a difficult role when its veil of hypocrisy has been torn aside. The American brand of capitalism is learning this as the result of its aggressive attack launched against Nicaragua, that stands revealed, not as Kellogs’s state department would wish, as “a mission of mercy,” but as a robber expedition to protect loot already taken from a defenseless people, + So keenly does the Morgan-Coo- lidge-Mellon administration at Washington feel its awkward posi- tion as its dollar diplomacy stands stripped naked before the world, that the president himself is forced to throw aside the mask of “White House spokesman” and make his plea direct to the subsidized press for better capitalist propagandizing of the American people, -* * Coolidge calls it “embarrassing the administration” for the peoples of this nation to protect against the war on Nicaragua. He demands press support of “the government in its foreign relations.” But there is the handicap that no war has ac- tually been declared, no civil liberty suppressing espionage act functions, as in the last.war, with the result that the real purposes of death-deal- ing warships, flying the. stars and stripes in the Caribbean can be made known on a large and increas- ing scale. The workers and farmevs can have no excuse not to know all the details of “The Star Spangled Banner's” most recent depredations in Central America and, knowing the schemes of “American _/invest- ments” combat them in the interests of the oppressed at home and abroad, It may be that the cloak of censorship may be thrown over the truth to some extent, according to the censorship established by Rear Admiral Latimer, Wall Street's agent on the job. Latimer, with Kellogg’s state department claim- ing to be in complete ignorance, put a quietus on radio stations in the neutral zones on the Nicaraguan east coast. Thus Coolidge’s ultima- tum delivered at the White House may intimidate some independent editors and beat them into line. But even the capitalist press of the United States, servile as it is, will stand in ridicule before the world, if it tries to hide all the truth, with the press of all Latin-America and Europe ablaze with the real mean- ing of “Uncle Shylock’s” most re- cent adventure in Central America, eee “Silent Cal” undertakes an impos- sible hushing expedition when he sets out to explain that he does not think, in the words of the Washing- ton correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, “that either American citi- zens or newspapers should criticize the administration in such a way that the world at large will get the impression that the country is not united behind the president and his state department.” The same correspondent declares: “President Coolidge considers that the press is interested in pro- moting American commerce. ..” In this “Silent Cal” is quite cor- rect, The capitalist press is but the lackey of the profit-taking interests and as such is very anxious to pro- mote the interests of its masters, But there are broad anti-imperial- istic sections of the producing popu- lation, in the city and on the land, that force even their old party spokesmen in congress to raise the fight against the “interests” of com- merce, This alone explains why Senator Wheeler, of Montana, pro- mised the introduction of a regolu- tion in the senate demanding the withdrawal of the dollar-flagged battleships from the trouble zone, Wheeler takes up the struggle while Senator Borah, of Idaho, head of the senate foreign relations com- mittee waivers and hesitates, Even the kept press cannot turn a deat ear to the anti-war demand in con- gress. It cannot remain silent in the face of the ceaseless assaults originating in foreign countries, The great masses of the people of the United States will therefore con- tinue to get some of the truth in- directly, where it will not come to them first hand, Now the workers also have a ‘Communist press to throw the spot- light of truth on Washington and Wall Street, see Coolidge continues the old hypo- crisy when he feels that the kept press “should make plain that it supports its government when it (the government) protects Amer- ican interests at home and abroad.” But the “American interests” that Coolidge refers to are the “inter- ests” only of the 13 per cent of the Population of this country that owns | 90 per cent of the nation’s wealth, The 87 per cent of the population, the workers and farmers, have no interest in plundering the Nicarag- uans, the Haitians, the Filf wants Coolidge to wave the 13 per cent and make no bones about it, The Chicago Tribune, like its Damesake in Minneapolis re- cently quoted in this column, wants to be frank and outspoken. It says: “The reason the navy is operating in Ntearagua 1s because American dollars are invested there in lumber- ing and other productive enter- prises. Because of these investments there are American citizens in the country and the navy lands men to protect their lives and their pro- perty.” In other words, the American navy must bully and intimidate the Nicaraguan, or the native of some other country being robbed, into complete acquiescence to the dollar brand of exploitation, Otherwise it is guaranteed, “In the name of humanity and civilzation,” that this bullying navy, under orders trom Washington altho inspired from Wall Street, will shoot ‘him full of holes, see The Chicago Tribune regrets that the old hypocrisy has been banged to pieces, It sheds tears because the opposition under Dr. Juan B, Sacasa is permitted to appear as a “Ifberal government.” It charges that the imperialisms of other nations func- tion more efficiently in this respect. Thus, it says: “No opponent of the British foreign office could be a liberal, He'd be merely a bad egg, and humanity, religion, and altruism would demand that he be put down and kept down and he would be.” But The Tribune, weeping for American imperialism, fails to dis- cover that even British imperialism is facing the same handicap, The British foreign office tried to arouse the British nation against the Union of Soviet Republics. But the British workers stopped that, The First Workers’ Republic was not “put down.” Instead a delegation of Brit- ish trade unionists visited the So- viet Union and got up a report fill- ing a good-sized book showing that Russia was not “a bad egg” from the working class viewpoint, This story is being repeated, not only for Great Britain but also for the United States and a lot of other im- perialist bandits in the Chinese situation, ee @ The. Chicago Tribune points out that, “An American president on some public occasions (as in Coo- lidge’s speech at Trenton last week) is expected to explain the idealistic purposes of America, The American people like to believe that these purposes exist.” But many are now going thru a period of awakening. They are lJearning that loans and investments am the sole concern abroad of American imperialism, the inspira- tion of the “big navy” and the “big army” crowd in Washington, follow- ing the path that leads toward new wars. American imperialism intends to go thru with its program, with or without the shield of hypocrisy, It must go ahead or perish at the feet of some other mighter imperialism. But to go ahead means to perish at the hands ultimately of the object of its oppressions, Nicaragua is small, But it is in- dicative of the whole struggle. Therefore it is important. That is why Washington is so worried over Nicaraguan developments. That is why American labor should cham- pion the cause of Nicaragua, as if it Were some more important nation, like Mexico or China, The struggle must be unified and developed for the defeat of all imperialisms and the world triumph of the social revolu- tion, CALLES FIRM AS OIL LAWS ARE ENFORCED U.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 2.—Altho the United State Department of State is maintaining silence in regard to its: ittitude toward Mexico since the go- ng into effect of the new oil laws, it 8 Indicated that the withdrawal of mbassador Sheffield from Mexico may be expected momentarily. Officials have declared that the Washington government may possibly do nothing until what they term an “overt act” is committed by Mexico in the enforcement of the laws. No other comment, except that the situation was “critical” would be made by the State Department. The United States government has contended that the oil laws are acts of confiscation of American property by Mexico, Lynchings in 1926 Show Decline, with Increased Prevention The number of persons lynched in the United States in 1926 were 29, according to the findings of Tuskogee Institute. Florida leads with eight and Texas comes next with seven. This is 13 more than were reported in 1926, but 28 less than the high mark of 57 in 1922. Only 5, or less. than 17 per cent were persons charged with rape. Of those lynched, 22 were Negroes, 6 whites, and one Indian. Two were women. The court had already ac- quitted one of the victims. Twenty of the victims were taken from the hands of the law—8 from jails and 12 from officers outside of jails.

R, 8653), asserts A. F. Alli- son, secretary of the International As- sociation of Garment Manufacturers. Organized labor is vitally interested in this bill as shown by its representa- tion at the spring hearing held by the house labor committee. The New Jersey State Federation of Labor, as well as those of Illinois and Ohio, with the International Molders’ Union, In- ternational Association of Machinists and American Federation of Labor can follow up now by appeals to con- gressmen, The WalshCooper bill provides that prison-made goods from whatever state must be subject to the laws of the state into which they are sent for use, consumption, sale or storage. The four states which are the biggest factors in the prison goods market— Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey—are among the 18 which have laws requiring the labelling of all prison-made products. The federal law, regulating inte commerce, would act to markets. Connecticut alone puts $2,000,000 worth of work clothes into New York without labelling “Prison- made,” despite the New York law. Both union and non-union garment makers are members of the Interna- tional Association of Garment Manu- facturers. The organization assumes that there is some market for prison- made products and to the consumption of binder twine by Minnesota farmers who buy right from Stillwater prison, The group holds, however, that the consuming public will not pay the same price for goods known to be prison-made as {it does for products otherwise produced. With goods la- belled “Prison-made,” profits would be Breatly reduced for the contractors use systems could be put into effect. Prison labor contractors are actively opposing the passage of the
