General Yang Yu-ting declared yes- | terday that the proposed thirty mil- lion dollar loan would be used to fur- ther Japanese designs in Manchuria. Yang’s position, it is believed, was largely forced by the growing pro- Japanese test of Chinese workers and peasants | in against Japanese encroachments Manchuria and Shantung, If Yang confirms his statement, the Japanese minister declared, he saw no alternative but “further steps.” He said that he had already commu- nicated with General Yang and had demanded an explanation, The North China Standard, which | is Japanese-owned and published, at- | tacked ‘Yang’s statement in an edito- rial today. ‘The sta it known ®at it would not oppose the Morgan loan to the South Manchurian railway, in spite of the protest of Japanese business men who in a com- munication to Washington requested that the state department prevent the loan. Pilsudski Authorizes Warrants for Arrest Of Militant Deputies WARSAW, Nov. 30.—The arrest of fifty-four militant deputies of the Polish Sejm has been issued with the dissolution of the Sejm the day before yesterday.

(Written especially for the Feature Service of the All-American Anti-Im- perialist League.) Calvin Coolidge said to congress on January 10, 1927: “If the revolution ¢ontinues American investments and business interests in Nicaragua will be very seriously effected.” That set- tled the matter. Uncle Sam’s business interests were in danger. The Nica- raguan reyolution simply had to stop. While Coolidge talked, the revolu- tion went on. Words could not stop it, so Coolidge, like the good imperi- alfSt that he is, sent 14 battleships and some 7,500 marines and sailors to Nicaraguan waters. These armed forces of the United States had not the least intention of intervening in the affairs of Nica- rvagua, Secretary Kellogg promised that. They were strictly neutral. * * At that stage of the game in Nica- ragua the liberals under Sacasa were winning, and the conservatives under Diaz were losing. United States neu- trality therefore took the form of ac- * *\ eupying those points which the liber- Js had captured, and notifying both tIpe conservatives and the liberals to rm, and not to shoot within 1500 ls of the neutral zone. ontinued until it included the id and most of the chief cities of Nicaragua, Still the liberals were not discouraged. Doggedly they went on driving back the conservatives. Even the confiscation of arms and ammunition by the United States did not daunt them. ee eee So President Coolidge took the next | step, which any good imperialist in| his place would have taken. He sent Colonel Stimson as his personal rep- resentative to tell the liberals that if they continued to fight, it would be the painful duty of the United States marines to pump them full of lead. The language Which Colonel Stimson used was more diplomatic, of course, *but the point was clear enough. Sacasa issued a statement, bitterly | denouncing the policy of the Amer- ican Empire in Nicaragua. He then disbanded his forces and left the country, But the army did not entirely dis- band. One popular leader, Sandino by name, took to the hills and rallied a few faithful men about him. Put into the vernacular of United States istory, the rebel army of Nicaragua its Valley Forge, with George Sandino as its undaunted But President @bolidge (George III) was very much on the job. He had a host of well equipped and armed |United States marines (Red Coats) spread over Nicaragua and with the aid of the Nicaragua police officered by United States Marines (Iriquois, officered by British) set qut to cap- ture George Washington Sandino. | On July 18, 1927, the marines (Red Coats), assisted by five United States bombing planes, cleaned out Wash- ington’s army. His beloved lieuten- ant, Rufo, was mortally wounded. G. W. Sandino himself escaped to the mountains, where he continues to de- fy the military forces of the foreign tyrant. * Bravo, Sandino! Every lover of liberty the world over honors you and your little band of Nicaraguan metal miners. You have made a place for yourself in his- tory. Secretary Kellogg calls you a “common outlaw.” That places him, As for Calvin Coolidge, and his thousands of marines, history will treat them just as it has treated George III, and his Red Coats. Long life, Sandino! On your toes, Latin America! ae Here From Turkey WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30. — Continued rumors of a plot to assas- sinate both the Turkish Ambassador to America, Ahmed Mouktar Bey, and Joseph C. Grew, American Ambassa- dor to Turkey have resulted in a heavy guard being thrown around them both. There is no clear evidence as to what groups are concerned, but it is strongly suspected that the backers of the proposed killing are the clique of Armenian and American politicians who were to profit from the once pro- posed American protectorate over the “Republic of Armenia” established in the oil fields of what is now Turkey, Soviet Armenia, and other Soviet re- | psblics and autonomous regions of the | Caucasus, It is also suspected that American oil and mining interests who were to profit by concessions in the “Republie| {of Armenia” may be paying for the act of violence that would bring the Armenian quéstion into U. S. Ameri- ean politics. The part of Armenia which Turkey took back when the “Republic of Armenia” collapsed, has no oil in it, so there is nothing to lose by antagonizing Turkey. 500 DEAD IN ALGERIA, | PARIS, Nov. 30. — The Algerian floods are worse than early reports in- dicated.

That was also because the peasants dared to capture the land and destroy the pt of the nobility. But the truth of the matter was that the peasants were in a different mood to what the nobility expected. With the coming of the spring, voices were ever more frequently raised in favor of the immediate dis- tribution, not only of the land but of all agricultural implements. gatherings were held in all villages where resolutions were adopted and sent to the district committee calling for the immediate requisition of the land and implements of the nobility {and their distribution among the peasants. However, the committee, headed by SRs, declared at a general meeting of the district in February, 1918, that the land and implements cannot be distributed at, the present time.
