“* DAILY WORKER, ft YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1929 et, Leavenworth Commandant Rejects Protest, Says No Mercy Will Be Sh (OOVER OUTLINES OSS PLATFORM IT INAUGURATION speech Glosses Over All | Important Issues (Continued from Page One) rease in the numbers of secret gents, a return to the days of Pal- .er, when a million men were on ie payroll of the department of istice. Because We're Rich. | Hoover accompanied this with| nother blurb about the “liberation | som widespread poverty” and the) saching of a “higher degree of in- ividual freedom than ever before”, hich “brings devotion to and con- 2m of our institutions.” Then he aid a single nice word, the usual iing, about Coolidge, and went back) > the business, the only real in-| srest, of his speech, namely, a big- er and more efficient secret po- ce: “T propose to appoint a national ommission for a séarching investi- ation of the whole structure of our aderal system of jurisprudence, to iclude the method of enforcement f the 18th amendment and the auses of abuse under it. “Its purpose will be to make such ecommendations for re-organization f the administration of federal aws and court procedure as may be ound desirable.” Well, yesterday the house of rep- esentatives met on Sunday, defying ae supposed commandment of Hoov- r’s alleged Quaker god, to vote him 3,090,000 to hire spies with — labor pies disguised as prohibition agents, Mergers All Right. Discussing “the relationship of| overnment to business”, Hoover ead: “The election has again confirmed : he determination of the American eople that regulation of private nterprise and not government wnership or operation is the course ightly to be pursued in our relation) o business. In recent years we) ave established a differentiation in) he whole method of business regu- ation between the industries which roduce and distribute commodities n the one hand, and public utilities n the other. In the former, our aws insist upon effective competi-| ion; in the latter, because we sub- ‘tantially confer a monopoly by miting competition, we must regu- ate their services and rates,” and gain: “business has by coopera- ion made great progress in the ad- ancement of service, in stability, a regularity of employment and in he correction of its own abuses.” More and more mergers in public tilities—we have a monopoly there nyway, and regulation only of ates, by an interstate commerce ommission put in office by the po- itical party of those interests it is upposed to “regulate”. “Culture—Not Conquest.” Hoover modestly disclaimed any atention of extending the American mpire. He spoke not a word about \merican marines in Haiti, Nicara- sua, China, about the continued oc- upation of the Philippines, in defi- nce of all solemn promises of both varties, ; “Our form of government is ill dapted to the responsibilities which nevitably follow permanent limita- ion of the independence of. other veoples.”” However, Hoover, the great ad-| ainistrator that he frankly confes- es himself to be, intends to improve he technique. “Civilize "Em With Marines.” After a brief reference to “the vressure of population, wealth and ower” in which “superficial ob- ervers seem to find a destiny”! %, » owards imperialism, and a hint that a new social system,” some new sind of semi-fascist state, based on law enforcement” by a big police amy is on the way, he stated: from these things our sympathies wre broadening beyond the bounds of vur nation and race toward. their rue expression in a real brother- 1ood of man.” i So that, according to President Ioover, is why the marines are in Nicaragua and China, not conquest, ut the old lie of the “white man’s urden”. A Court, On U. S, Terms. Hoover put in a good word for he Kellogg pacts, and the world ourt, which he declared “was first sroposed by American statesmen,” snd: “The permanent court of inter- tational justice in its major pur- yose is thus peculiarly identified vith American ideals and with \merican statesmanship, No more sotent instrumentality for this pur- vose has ever been conceived and 10 other is practicable of establish- nent. The reservations placed upon our adherence should not be mis- nterpreted. The United States seeks by these reservations no spe- tial privilege or advantage but only o clarify our relation to advisory ‘pinions and other matters which re subsidiary to the majon purpose f the court. The way should, and believe will, be found by which we aay take our proper place in a novement so fundamental to the rogress of peace,” but, “our people ave determined that we should iake no political engagements such s membership in the league of na- ions.” Hoover then signified himself a egular republican by saying a good ade for Hoover, ro On Par nd Graft Imperialism and Photo shows the Richmond Grays, a military organization sworn to defend the capitalist system, wa will usher in the Hoover administ rming up for the ceremonies which ration of graft and imperialism.

Jesus Maria Aguirre seized the gov- ernment, then from Sonora, where | this brother, General Manuel Agu- irre, in agreement with the gover- nor of the state, Fausto Topete, de- |clared the province in rebellion and jtook over the customs and govern- ment offices on the Arizona border at Nogales. While the states, as states, are! supposed to be controlled by the rebels, the federal government de-| jclares that even in Vera Cruz and| |Sonora, parts of the army are re-| |maining loyal to the central govern- |ment. In Sonora, General Manuel Aguirre made a declaration to the |U. S. army border commander, and |Governor Topete in a statement as- sured “absolute guarantee of prop- lerty rights and protection of Amer- jican citizens.” However, later today} |some 64 carloads of perishable goods | from Mexico to U.

The Mexican consul at Nogales | says the rebel statements lie, that| only two states are in revolt, which will be soon crushed. The first de- struction reported was in the state of Sinaloa, where the military com-| jmander, General Carrillo, started ;southward with 500 troops when the Macario Gaxiola, pro- claimed revolt. He destroyed bridges and railroad tracks to preclude pur- |suit by forces from Sonora supposed | to be following. | | One of the significant develop-| jments was the action of U. S. am- |bassador Dwight Morrow, who was) at his country home at Cuernavaca, | |50 miles from Mexico City, when he jlearned of the revolt. He motored! lin at once, and in company with/ the U.

Big Increase Reported in Venereal Diseases; Death Rate Gains Too While the prudery which conceals sexual matters serves also to con- ceal the increase in the number of those who become affected by vene- real diseases, the comparative record for the city of New York, for the} years 1927 and 1928, shows that both syphilis and gonorrhoea are increas- ing. In 1927, there were 6,889 cases of syphilis reported to the health de- partment, in 1928, there were 7,028 cases. In 1927, there were 1,964 cases of gonorrhoea reported; in 1928 there were 2,269 cases. The rich and even the well-paid workers, of course, usually hide such troubles by consulting private physicians who do not make reports to the health department. The poor must, perforce, go to the department. clinies and public institutions. It fol- lows, therefore, that while the num- ber of cases reported by private physicians actually declined, those reported by clinics and institutions increased. And the increase far out- stripped the percentage increase of population. The death rate during the first seven weeks of the present year also shows a marked increase from the corres; 1929 rate per 1,000 population being 17.90 against 14.00 in 1928.

Greenlee, of Pueblo. Col., has written the United States | Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leav- enworth, Kan,, demanding that the torture of John Porter, arrested during the New Bedford textile workers’ strike, shall cease. Porter was arrested and charged with desertion from the army only after he had been taking a leading part in the struggles of the Nation al Textile Workers Union. His term of enlistment had but a short time to run, when he left the army. The International Labor Defense is con. ducting the case. | The commandant of the prison has sent the following reply tc Greenle, which shows that the goy- ernment agents are determined tc show no mercy to this youthful worker: “Reference to your letter of Jan. 19, 1929, I am directed by the com- ,mandant to advise you that John |Porter, Registered Number 3473, }was convicted of desertion, for |which he received a sentence to dis- |honorable discharge and for">iture of all pay and allowances ¢ #r to | become due and confinement for a period of two (2) years. |. ‘He deserted the army at Fort on July 18, 1927, jafter having taken an oath to serve torium, 160-4 W, 129th St, Friday |dancing to the music of a jazz or-|in the army of the United States for three (3) years. | “As to your ‘entering a formal |protest against his imprisonment. and alleged mistreatment if you find |the case deserves such an act,’ it jis believed that any action you may care to take be left to your own | judgment. “So far as this office is concerned this prisoner was found to be legally tried, convicted and sentenced for an offense against the United Stat jfor which he is now serving sen- tence.
