THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1927 Page Three Foreign News --- By Cable and Mail from Special Correspondents MORE PHILIPPINE LAND FOR RUBBER KINGS, DAVIS CRY Flatly Against Freedom | for Islands WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The “lib- | gation of the Philippine land) ’ to permit larger land holdings | was recommended in the annual re-} sued by Secretary of War Davi terday. Larger land holdings will mit American rubber magnates to “pen rubber plantations in Mindanao on a large scale. The recommendation that larger land holdings be permitted American investors is accompanied by a defin- | ite recommendation that the independ- be withheld from the islands. Against Freedom. “he political status of the Philip- pines is usually set forth as the prin- ipal hindra to the rapid develop- ment of the islands,” the report says. “If the United States were to an- nounce the definite determination to remain permanently, or for an ex- tended pericd, in control of the is- lands, there would be more rapid de- velopment. That cannot be questioned. “On the other hand, it is equally true that if the United States were to announce a definite determination to withdraw from the islands in the near future such a decision would result not only in the slowing up of development, but, for a period, in rapid retrogression. The statement that the announcement of a definite policy would result in development of the islands is therefore not essential- ly true.” Harvey Firestone, American rub- ber magnate, who owns large hold- ings in Liberia, has been earrying on a campaign to alter the Philippine Jand laws to permit larger holdings. on Nationals’ Rights PARIS, Dee. 4.-—-France and Italy signed a temporary agreement con- cerning the rights of nationals re- siding in each other’s countries, yes- terday. Negotiations for the agree- ment had been in progress for some months. The treaty was signed by Foreign Minister Briand of France and Am- bassador for Italy Manzoni.

Foreign Office | of Soviet Union Nails Lies About Ukraine MOSCOW, Dec. 4.—The press serv- ice of the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs issued a statement yesterday flatly denying reports of “uprisings” in the Ukraine appearing in the Ru- manian press. “There is not a grain of truth in these reports,” the statement declares. Absolute calm prevails in the Ukra- ine.” The statement is substantiated by the absence of reports from Ger- man consuls in Kiev and Odessa who it is believed would have reported dis- orders had there been any. The Rumanian reports are believed to have been inspired largely by a desire to cover up a difficult situation at home and with a view to clouding the Bessarabian question. Mexico Will Create Single Labor Dept, WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (FP). Mexico, on the initiative of the trade union group in its national congress, is about to establish a separate de- partment of labor, while various other | Latin-American countries are like- wise moving to give a cabinet place to the chief national office dealing with labor problems. “During the session held in Novem- ber by the chamber of deputies,” runs the Pan-American Federation of La- bor’s report from Mexico, “the labor- ist leaders introduced a project which reforms the law of the ministries of state now in force, and creates a min- istry of labor, which is now annexed to the ministry of industry, commerce and labor. Will Control Immigration. “This new ministry will be in charge of all the affairs relating to labor legislation, as well as the organiza- tion of the working men to make of them a force conscious of their rights and duties. “The project in question proposes that the ministry of labor shall have charge also of all matters relating to immigration, which now is in the hands of the ministry of the interior. | “Beforehand, it is a fact that the project introduced by the laborist deputies will not find any opposition in the chamber end will be approved without great discussion.” Luis Morones, now minister of in- dustry, commerce and labor, was for- |merly the active head of the Mexican Regional Confederation of Labor, SLAVEDRIVING IN CONGO.
