PERU TYRANT
is TOOL OF
U. S. FLUTES
Denounced by Head of
Mexican Education


LIMA, Peru, March 27.-A letter
that will cause a tremendous uproar
in Peru and no less sensation in Mex
leo has just been struggled past the
rigid Peruvian censorship and into
this tyrant ridden country by Jose
Vasconcelos, Mexican minister of ed
ucation. The letter, impersonal in
tone, damns the petty dictatorship
of Leguia, Peruvian president who
was "made-in-theIU- S. A." and just
falls short of counselling a revolu-
ton.
The letter will have a tremendous
effect in all of Latin-America, for the
whole of South America looks to
Vasconcelos for spiritual leadership.
In Mexico, the minister of education
has recently been under heavy fire
from certain quarters because Of his
feud with Morones of the Federation
of Labor and his firing of certain la
Dor or semi-labor functionaries and
retention Of reactionary elements in
the department of education. The
radical tone Of the letter will, how
ever, tend to controvert many Of the
charges against him.
Presents Resignation.
When Vasconcelos issued a vigor-
GUS attack on Vivente Gomez, auto
crat of Venezuela and, like Leguia,
tool of Standard Oil and the Ameri-
can state department, he accom-
panied it with his resignation so as
not to embarrass the Mexican gov
eminent His resignation was not
accepted, and in due time relations
were broken off between Mexico and
Venezuela. Now his resignation VIII
be presented once more, and it is
impossible to predict the outcome.
All Latin-America is beginning to
talk about the tyranny of Leguia in
Peru. Papers from Argentine, and
other South American countries, and
even from Cuba and Panama, are
full of polemics against him. Jose
Ingenieros, of Argentina, is another
outstanding figure in Latin-Ameri-
can culture, and he, like Vasconcelos,
has added his powerful voice to the
chorus attacking American imperial
ism and its Peruvian tool. But none
of these attacks will have the effect
of Vasconcelos' letter, for it is adj
dressed directly to the students of
Peru and comes from a cabinet min
ister in the country that is most ideal
lied by liberal elements in the rest
of Latin-America.
Taken by Force.
The grinding exploitation of the
Indian tribes on the nearer slopes of
the Andes whose property, owned UNI
der a system Of primitive commun-
ism, has been taken from them by
force, and who are driven to work
for foreign Especially American)
capital to the crack of the slave
drivers whip, has resulted in wide
spread revolts. These are blind
strivings to restore the Empire Of
the Incas" and the system of primi-
tive communism that yielded peace
and freedom and plenty
Student and labor leaders from the
coastal plain are turning to the prob
lem of linking up this blind force
With their own strivings for industrial
socialism or modern communism.
They are studying Kechua, the native
Indian dialect in order to explain
modern social philosophy to the nom
Spanish speaking tribes. The Indians
readily understand the conversation
their rebellion against CAPT.
.alism and that of the industrialized
workers.

preparations are being made this
summer for increasing the military
forces of the United States.
Evident opposition by great
section of the American people, and
especially the young workers, has
thrown the pro-military organiza-
tions, such as the American Legion,
the Chicago Tribune and the Daily
News, into Mysteries. An attempt
was made to declare all anti-mili-
tary propaganda seditious. The
states attorney was called upon to
prosecute the Young Workers
League, among other organiza-
tons, under the decision in the
Bross Lloyd case which makes dis
tribution of strike literature a
crime. No action has yet been taken
as the states attorneys office deems
its case too weak and an evident in
fringement Of the most elementary
rights guaranteed by capitalist law
in Illinois.
There is some connection between
the issuing of the recent leafiet adj
dressed "To All Young Workers,
Soldiers and Sailors!" by the Y.
w. L. at this critical moment when
the capitalists Sre trying to mass
the youth in the Military Training
Camps and the concerted attack on
all who proclaim anti-miIitary OPP
position.
Workers Did Not Join.
Last summer the allotments for
the Citizens Military Training
Camps were nowhere near filled and
the fear that this will be repeated
this year in the face of the mass
propaganda undertaken by the Y.
w. L. among the factory workers
and in the schools is driving the
capitalist newspapers and their
militarist organization to drastic at
tempts to suppress the Y. w. L.
whose anti-military propaganda is
the most purposeful in arousing the
working youth against any partici-
patton in capitalist wars.
No brow-beating bluff will thwart
the Y. w. L. in carrying on a per-
sistent anti-military campaign al
this time. The league will more
than ever throw its full strength in
the carrying out of its program
under the slogan of: "Down With
All Capitalist Warl" In acting on
the following program, the Y. w. L.
emphasizes the fact that its strug-
gle against militarism is not and
cannot be a pacifist one, but "is the
struggle of a militant, unarmed
class against its armed oppressors"

Here is the Y. w. L. anti-military
program:

ments on the one hand, and on the

How Big Smile Will the Veteran

(Boston Transcript
The uncoEtroverted facts about
the impending tag day of the Boston
Chapter of the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War are that
last year this organization collected
approximately $4,000. that about
$4,000 of this went to the expense OF
the drive, that around $1,000 went to
the salary and office expenses, that
roughly another $4,000 went to the
national and State bodies. whose
purpose is mainly organization and
propaganda, but that only s315S.40

which the emphasis of this appeal
for the veteran was based. A similar
instance occurred with the chapter
of the same order in Providence.

oil Commerce whose duty it is to in
vestigate such charitable appeals
has asked under these and other cir
CumstanceS that the drive be at
least delayed for further readjust-
ment, if not entirely suspended.
There is no allegation of dishonesty,
though the books are not kept in an
especially scientific manner The
question is whether, even granting
that current expenses organizat ton

Since the proposed child labor
amendment has come to be generally
discussed, through the newspapers
and in public addresses. the revela-
tons of the board and far reaching
scope of the proposed legislation
have become astounding. When the
resolution proposing the amendment
was first passed by Congress the
public was told that it was designed
solely to prevent hard labor by little
children in certain Southern states
which had obstinately refused to en-
act any laws for the protection of
those little ones.
1t was stated that in some of those
states children from the ages of IA
to 10 were compelled to work daily
in Southern cotton mills, with the
result that their growth was stunted,
their health ruined and their future
usefulness permanently impaired.
These states had been asked to pass
laws to prevent this enslavement of
childhood and they had refused. The
Congress had twice enacted such
legislation, only to be told by the
Supreme Court that it had no
authority to pass any laws of the
kind. The only way that these little
toilers could be protected was for
the federal government to be given
the required authority. Hence the
beneficent child labor amendment.
Accepting this description of the
situation as the true one, individuals
and philanthropic associations hast
ened to endorse the proposed amend
ment and to urge its ratification by
the states.
But when people began to give
serious attention and study to the
resolution. they found that It was
not child labor law at all. but a
constitutional provision that would
take from parents and the states all
control over their children not only
in regards their labor, but their edu-
cation. 1t does not take from the
states powers that they had possess
sed and transfer the same to the
federal government. but 1t grants to
the Congress authority which the
states never have had.

HENRY CABOT LODGE

The death of Henry Cabot Lodge
removes an international figure, that
also was one of the most conspicu-.
ously national during his thirty
seven years brilliant service in ma
tional affairs. And this, notwith-
standing none were more appre-
ciative of or more thoroughly imbued
with the ideas and spirit of that
New England which contributed so
much to the shaping Of young Amer
lea. No New Englander of his time
ever cultivated his heritage more
effectively, II we consider his con-
tributions to educadve influences of
history, which had been made, as
we'll as to the making of history. A
cursory glance at the titles Of his
books. his lectures and articles of
current comment would suggest
this: a reading of them confirm it..
Recognition of this may be found in
the degrees and appointments con-
ferred upon him by institutions of
learning and historical societies.
His brilliant mind was never idle,
the field in which 1t was employed
varied. and inclusive of much that
was important in the national life.
To that the scope of his mind was
admirably suited, including as it did,
history. literature, political govern
nent. and not excluding comprehen-
sion of the finesse of the politician
and understanding of popular will
end knowledge of the influences
shaping 1t. The experience of long
service in national legislation en-
riched it: loyalty to what he con-
sidered the fundamentals of Ameri-
can government commanded respect
even from his opponents. From all
this the country. his Stale, and his
party profited.
1t Is not to be expected that one
will rise up to take his place; in
deed it may be questioned whether
in this generation the place may be
there to be taken. Already he had

of this inevitably would have been
source of displeasure and disap-
pointment. Other times. other man
ner of men. With him has gone an
exemplar of senatorial dignity. con-
fronting froth and fume with the re-
straint in which reserve strength
may exert its power most effectively.
This comported with his reputation
as an aristrocrat. in which 1t may be
assumed he delighted and for which
he cultivated a certain natural
aloofness. 1t is evident that people
of his State were proud to have him
regarded an aristocrat. to believe
that his rapier was the keenest and
most deftly welded Of any in all the
arena. and felt that he perpetuated

distinction belonging to the ira

distinction belonging to the ira
ditions of the old commonwealth.
For years this conception of the
man made wide and effective appeal.
though inevitably it invited reprisal
when age should impair and the
aspiration of younger men to the
dominance he exercised became
keener on the approach of oppor-
tunity. But even In the last grim
struggle that courage he inherited
the tenacity with which he chung
to life. And we recall that courage
was a conspicuous and essential
quality in the lives of those who
made New England what she is, who
won her over formidable obstacles
and grew strong in the doing of it.
1t required courage to oppose in a
war-weary world convinced of the
futility of war, a popular remedy for
war, to assume conspicuous re-
sponsibility for rejecting the proposed
salvation. There was not in the
fibre of the man anything short of
adherence of the idea of super
government of America: his tradi-
tions, training and nature were in
accord on this. Whether this view
might have been modified had he sat
at the conference table may not be
known, but may be doubted. We
believe that il prejudice played any
important part in the shaping of his
judgment at that crucial time he
was unconscious Of it. 1t is yet or
the knees of the gods to reveal
whether the country owes in large
part to Henry Cabot Lodge a great
debt of obligation for keeping us out
of confusion worse COMPOUNDED, as
subsequent events have seemed to
Indicate This much is certain. the
country stood at the parting of the
ways between cooperation with
foreign countries after the policy
that had prevailed in this country
and co-responsibility for maintain
ing the peace of Europe-and we
have chosen the former as probably
would not have been done but for
Henry Cabot Lodge.

amendment declares that 1.-The Con-
regulate and prohibit the labor OF
persons under Is years OF age" 1t
will be noticed that the text does
rot say children. but persons" and
includes under the age limit fixed
those who are generally classed as
youths. 1t is not open to dispute
that no state possesses the power
to prohibit labor of all persons
under IS years of age. If any state
should undertake to prohibit farm
labor by persons OF IL ii can readily
be assumed what the action of the
judiciary would be toward such a
law.
The implied powers under a con-
stitutional provision are far greater
than those which are stated directly
in the text. The power to make war
implies the power to take persons
and property to make that provision
effective. The power to regulate
commerce implies the power to make
rates. control the distribution of
facilities and determine what shall
and shall not he carried.
The power to regulate the labor of
youth would carry with 1t the i'm
plleu power TO regulate COnulllollS VI
labor. to determine the nature and
extent of education of those accept
ing employment, and even TO fix
wages. Parents could be told, not
only that the children could not
work at all. even at home. but If
their children were permitted to
work the Congress could dictate to
them how they should be prepared
for work.
il is idle to say that the amendment
does not aim at the control of farm
labor at home. for an attempt was
made to exclude outdoor work from
the terms of the amendment and the
proposition was defeated by the pro-
ponents of the act.
In short. the more this proposed
amendment is studied the more
astoundingly dangerous does it ap-
pear. Whether or not Congress
chooses to exercise the authority
which 1t is proposed to grant 1t, the
amendment makes 1t the guardian of
the children of the nation and gives
it authority above all parental con-
troll. 1t is communistic PROPOSE
ton of the most advanced kind.
The only possible defense OF the
amendment is that Congress would
rot take advantage of the authority
granted, and this is wholly a
gratuitouS assumption. Congress
has never been slow to use any new
power transferred TO It.
