THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK. THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1928 Page Th British Tory and Baltic States Help White Russian Plots, Letters ‘Reveal FILIPINO LABOR DEMONSTRATION FOR FREEDOM Boycott Aguinaldo as Traitor to Cause MANILA, Jan. 25—A cold silence sveeted the parade of veterans headed by General Aguin- aldo Monday in honor of the short- republic set up in Malolos 29 years ago. Filipinos com- pletely boycotted the celebration, which was gener- ally regarded as an attempt 6n the part Henry new proconsul States authorities in the campaign against Philippine Stimson, independence, to increase his rapidly | waning prestige. Aguinaldo, who led the early re- bellions against the United States, has now gone over to what Philip- pine workers term the imperialists and is opposing the native struggle for independence. Along the principal streets thru which the parade passed, the win- dows were drapéd with huge black flags with question marks on them. Placards placed at street corners de- nounced Aguinaldo as a traitor to the Philippine cause. There is a good deal of criticism here of the appointment of Henry Stimson to the post of governor-gen- eral of the islands. Deport Palestine Labor Leader After Jail Term BEIROUT, Jan. 25.—The labor leader Minkas has been deported from Palestine. .The reason given for this measure is participation in a demon- stration on May Day.

The appeal declares: ‘The violence of the Bulgarian reaction is a part of the offensive of world capitalism which is being carried on on an in- ternational scale against the organi- zations of the working class. The broad masses of the proletariat must protest decisively against the crim- | inal act of the Bulgarian reaction. LANDLORD EVICTS JEWISH PEASANTS BEIROUT, ants Jan, 26. 25.—Twenty peas- have been arrested, several wounded and many are in hiding in the mountains as the result of the attempt of a large landowner to drive the peasants off their lands.

S., Henry L. Stimson, who solemnly decided to uphold the rule of Diaz, the bankers’ man, by the power of American bayonets, because, in his own words “the prestige and honor” of ‘the U. 8. so required it. Blinded by the offer of a “free and fair election” in 1928 or perhaps in the helplessness of their position, fully resigned to the inevitable, the politi- cians of Nicaragua seem to be obiivi- ous to these glaring facts; that there Last year the Diaz government of Nicaragua, which is nothing but the agency of the New York bankers es- tablished and maintained by the U. S. marines, proposed a treaty with the U. S. which embodied the essence of | the Platt Amendment, the Haiti and Panama treaties. This 1927 model combined in one instrument ali the features that the experience of the last 80 years has demonstrated to be of any practical | value in making the political and financial domination of the weaker neighbors easier.
