.nentary exposures Of secret
diplomatic treachery made by the
representatives of the Far East Re
public involving Japan and France
and, incidentally, England.
1t does not seem possible that the
Administration will go on dealing
with diplomacies which have been
caught red-handed in a mean and
treacherous conspiracy to cheat us,
to take advantage of our faith in
their words, to undermine and de-
stroy our trade relations and to do
us vital injury at the very time
when they were begging us to join
them in an alliance for square
dealing, and were also asking US to
forgive the debts they owe us and
help them to recover strength and
prosperity.
Diplomacy as practiced by these
governments makes ordinary swim
dlers and ingrates look like innocent
cherubs. And in this case even
their diplomacy has outdone its
mean code.
We have steadily insisted that it
was childish folly to put any trust
in the words and pledges Of these
diplomats; that they did not mean
one single fine word they uttered;
that not one of them had any friend
ship for America or anything in his
heart but hatred of America and a
fixed purpose to cheat and betray
and weaken America.
We insisted that they were conf
dence operators. And now here they
stand, caught in the act Of conspir-
ing to thrust knife into the back
of the nation that has been enter
tanning them with unbounded gener-
osity and listening alphabetically
to their tales of woe and appeals for
money, credits and partnership.
Our diplomacy is crude, trustful,
credulous and all that. But it is at
least honest. 1t does not lie. 1t
does not plot. 1t meditates no
villainy. And it cannot cope with
diplomacies that do lie and cheat
and plot and are villainous to the
core.
The only thing for US to do is to
have no dealings with these diplo-
macies. We should neither trust
them, nor listen to. them.
We should go our own American
way, develop our own American
riches, increase our own American
strength, build up our own Ameri-
can naval defense, and maintain our
own bright place in the world, envy
ing none, worrying none and fear
ing none.
What do we want of alliancesi
What do we ask in the world but
our plain rightsi
And when did we ever have to
call in others to help us to protect
those rightsi
What is the matter with these
poor timid creatures who are afraid
that our splendid and mighty Amer
lea cannot defend its sovereignty
and its territories and its liberties
and it's rights with it's own strong
arms and its own sense and cour-
agei

unions GATHER
MONEY To AID
STR|KERSHERE
Shopmen Face Hard Situation,
Call by Frazier says-un-
able to Save.

Washington labor organizations,
with the exception Of the Federal
Employees Union. are rallying as a
unit to the financial support Of
striking shopmen now entering
their twelfth Idle week. according
to statements this morning by Ia
Dor leaders.
The response to a letter Of ap-
peal framed by Charles H. A. Fra
zier, the shopmen's business agent,
had the immediate effect OF causing
special meetings of several locals
and the promise Of aid from nearly
all. Each trade unionist Of this
district is asked to contribute 81
a month, which should place in
the hands of E. M. Bridwell, sec
retary Of the Shopcraft Federation,
thousands of dollars each thirty
days, 1t Is declared.
Facing Bad Condition.
Lacking advices from Chicago,
where their international heads are
working toward an individual set
tlement of the strike, and informed
by Superintendent Herbert j.
TOnRe, OF tne washington Ter
minal, that they will not be taken
back to work, the strikers are fac
ing a situation calling for all as.
sistance Washington labor can pos
sibly give them.
They are engaged in a life and
death struggle with that most
gigantic of all monopolies, the Rail
road trust, and against Chinese
coolie wages and unbearable working
conditions inflicted upon them by a
Government tribunal at the behest
of this monopoly" Frazier's COM
munication declares.
Couldn't Save, He Says.
Their wages have been INSULT
cient to allow of savings to meet the
present emergency, he says.
''If their fight is lost" Frazier
points out to the various locals, I'VE
feel It would encourage your en-
ployer to endeavor to reduce you TO
the level to which the railroads are
trying to bring our fellow-workers In
the transportation industry"
1t is requested by Frazier that
funds be sent to Bridwell, at 1912 C
street northeast. T..
