THOMAS, Virgin Island, (By| Mail).—Rothchild Francis, editor of} The Emancipator, in a letter which he sends to the Negro press of Amer-| ica, cites the struggle that the natives have to face from the American naval} commanders. | He points out that when America| bought the island from Denmark it} promised the natives American citi-| zenship among many other things,| none which have materialized How) he, himself, has been picked out as a} special target by the American naval) officers and given several sentences} asa result, The latest, one for thirty] days in jail and a fine of $200, Calls Negroes To Aid. } He writes: “The manner in which i am persecuted in the Virgin Islands) should not go unchallenged by you. White American friends have given} me free legal counsel, publicity and financial assistance to combat the op-! pressors down here. But the fight is bitter and long and I need all the help possible at this moment.” He continues by pointing out that the court of appeals has just returned the papers in the last contempt case! against him which means thirty days in jail and a $200 fine or 280 days i jail. | For Lower Fines. | “I have written American friends to raise funds for the fine.

The only question that arises, it is whether President Coolidge will sign the bill when it comes to him,-or Whether he will veto it. But that isn’t the end of it. Rep- resentative Tincher, of Kansas, member of the house steering com- mittee, arises to exclaim, that if this relief bill is headed off no- where else, ‘The United States Su- preme Court will surely declare it unconstitutiorial.” * 8 * Many farmers think that the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill, if enacted into law, will be of great benefit to them, Arthur Brisbane, a personal friend of the president, frequent visitor at the White House and persistent booster for “Silent Cal’s” | aspirations for re-election in 1928, writes as follows in the Hearst press: ‘eee “Washington Wonders if the Mc- Nary-Haugen farm bill passes, whether President Coolidge ill veto it, and if go, whether it Sn hurt him in i928, “The president was against the bill last time, but he is not among those who are too feeble to change their minds. If farmers want i. and congress chooses to run the risks ‘alleged to lurk in the bili, the president may sigmw it. If he doesn’t think it wise he will veto it.” The Hearst sheets are stipposed to be democratic, But Arthur talks as if he sat on the republican throne in the Washington White House and knew all the inner poli- cies of the administration in power. 2 * * This declaration reveals, how- ever, the present passive attitude of the politicians toward this legis- lation that was denounced by Sec- retary of the Treasury Mellon, dur- ing the last session of congress, as “economically unsound.” Coolidge held to the Mellon viewpoint. The McNary-Haugen bill seeks to put the production of wheat, cot- ton, corn and several other farm | staples on the same basis as the production of steel, textiles, wool and even Mellon’s own favorite aluminum products. The farm bloc has adopted some of the same tac- ties that the high-tariff secking in- dustrialists have pursued. If the New England textile crowd can get together with the Pittsburgh steel clique, to win congressional legis- lation granting tariff. protection, then the wheat and corn growers feel they ought to get together with the cotton and rice planters to exert joint pressure on congress. This is exactly what they have done. Every agricultural section of the country has been made to feel that it has a stake in the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill, which embodies a system of price-fizing to force vp the domestic pricés of fatm products by conserving the surplus to be disposed of in the foreign market. ek The strength that has been mus- tered by the supporters of this leg- islation is ‘analyzed by the Wash- | ington correspondent of the New Plan Now Is to Declare McNarry-Haugen Farm Bill “Unconstitutional” By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, York Times in language as fol- lows: “The situation apparently has de- veloped to a point where, unless the administration acts promptly, the conservative republicans see no way of overcoming the lead the farm bloc has gained in the senate and house by trading cn other leg- islation.” It is announced that ‘the big bankers and great industrialists have placed Representative Ogden L. Mills, late contender with Al Smith for the governorship of New York State, in charge of the sham battle being waged by the anti-re- lief forces. Ogden Mills indulged in a milk bottle battle with Al Smith in the last state campaign. That is as close as Mills ever got to any agrarian products, ei tee The DAILY WORKER has con- tinually emphasized that altho wide masses of dirt farmers, tenant far- merg and even farm workers have been drawn into support of the Mc- Nary-Haugen _ measure, neverthe- less, this legislation will be of little benefit to them. The new wrinkle, the declaring of this legisiation as unconstitutional, will help open the eyes of milliéns of land workers to the rea] nature of the capitalist state that is op- pressing them, seeking to kill even this pailiative, - * * The old party politicians are not anxious to incur the hatred of the voters on the eve of the 1928 elec- tions, not even Cal Coolidge. If the strike-breaker president vetoed the MeNary-Haugen bill, after it had been passed by both houses of con- gress, that would be political capi- tal in the pockets of such republi- can contenders for the presidential nomination as Frank O. Lowden; former governor of Illinois; Charles G, “Hell and Maria” Dawes, the vice-president and Chicago banker, to mention only two. Thus there is much to be said in support of the belief that Coolidgé may sign the bill, but pass it on to the su- preme court to be déclared “uncon- stitutional,” which is just as effec- tive a method of defeating it. Then again Coolidge may decide that his white house days are over and veto the bill 2s one of his farewell blows at the farmers of the west who threw him a lot of yotes in the 1924 landslide. * Co * The manner in which this farm relief legislation is bandied about, is the biggest proof that it does not effectively strike at the capi- talist class thru being real support of the farmers’ struggle for exist- ence against the profiteering inter- ests, That fight awaits the time when a mighty labor party will send hosts of class conscious work- ers and farmers into congress, not to trade as between Coolidge or Dawes, Fess or Lowden, but who will wage an open war on the pre- datory power. so ably served by both the old parties. " Whichever way the Mc-Nary- Haugen farm relief bill goes, the workers and farmers, especially the ‘ latter, should get an excellent les- son in the desirahility of independ- ent political action a& against trail- ing after the parties of Wall Street that make a political foot- ball of their discontent and woe. BRITISH FIRMS BUILD NAVY FOR _ LATIN AMERICA LONDON, Feb. 8.—A scheme to: build a grant armada for South American countries is now being per- fected by the various agents which) British imperialists have stationed in the foreign countries. The plan as visualized by the Brit- ish financiers would net the steel- barons and shipbuilders a round sum of $200,000,000. , Chile has alveady placed an order for a flotilla of large torpedo boats the price of which totals $10,000,009. and negotiations are now on to get’ the rest of the contracts for warships, which would ‘bring this sum up to $30,000,000. All Want War Ships, Argentina is expected to hand in “contracts for three light cruisers, six destroyers, and six submarines, ag gregating a purchase price of $75, 000,000. The Brazilians are next with a similar contract. The British government is official- ly encouraging this program, and in- timates that it does not see any war preparation in the construction of such warships, London opinion -has it, however, that the British government is rather glad on the whole to possibilities of resistance to the United States among Latin American countries. a Sng os Urge Debate on God In West Virginia Be Permitted to Go On The American Civil Liberties Union with headquarters in New York wired Mayor W.

The two latest battleships built in England, the Rodney and the Ad- niival Nelson, are so jealgusly guard- ed, the secrets of their structure so carefully protected, that they have become known as “the hush-hush ships.”’ Part of the secrecy may be demanded by the necessity of break- ing as gentlemanly as possible the Washington “5-5-3” naval ratio. U. S. Has Spies. Rumors are current that Washing- ton has already a report from a spy on the British fleet during secret battle practice, to the effect that the range of the gun@ was increased by altitude obtained through filling the blisters on one side of the ship with water. Continental Europe is a hotbed of espionage. The selling of aircraft secrets has put a number of individ- uals lately in French military pris~- ons, .

New War Weapon. Injspite of the argument of liber- als and left groups in the parlia- ments of countries investing heavily in this sort of service, that spies sre not needed in time of peace, and that military secrets cannot be kept anyway, the general staffs and min- isters of war always answer that no country now tells what surprises it has in its armory; the latest in poison gas, in explosives, in’ disease germs for military use, in improved tanks, submarines with sixteen-inch zuns, dreadnaughts that carry flocks of airplahes—all these are hidden menaces to life and limb which each nation keeps masked until time for use, and continues to develop. In such an atmosphere, espionage flour- ishes, Carpenters Union In Struggle to Pass Bill Restricting Injunction Carpenters union, Local 791 at its regular meeting held last Monday night at 144 ‘Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn, endorsed the action of the Central Trades and Labor Council in its move for the passing of a bill by the state legislature to make the is- suing of injunctions in labor disputes more difficult. It decided to write all the members of the local and tequest them to ob- tain the support of their assembly- man and state senators for the bill being introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman Frederick Hackenberg in cooperation with local labor lead- ers, Tom Ryan one of the members of the local said that “it is illegal for judges to issue injunctions in labor disputes and the patring of the bill probably won’t do much good.” He was followed by Morris Rosen, who said: “We should support the move to pass the anti-injunction’ bill. Our policy should be to adopt the slogan of ey tage Gompers, ‘Violate the Injunction!’ However, we must not expect too much from the poli- ticians of the old political parties. |The workers should form their own ‘labor party to fight for their inter- | ests.” ‘Golf Game Not Enough field secretary of the Anti-Evoluti Loague of America, and Charles Smith, president of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of, Fun; Rich Man Bumps Off Friend and Himself see growing he may be artested and p aa to censor ehh FY Pea conor a apouber in advagne.A! 4 Atheism.
