Peruvian Ambassador
Will Arrive in Capital
Sometime This Month
DR.. de Velarde, Long Noted
in Latin America as Inter-
national Law Expert.

Although the ambassador from
Peru, DR.. Herman de Velarde, was ap-
pointed to the Washington mission
about the middle of December, he is
only now getting his affairs in shape
and will no doubt be amo1g the i'm
portant additions to the corps, ar
irving here some time this month. He
will be the second ambassador sent
to the American Capital by the gov
eminent at Lima, and represents the
highest type Of international lawyer
and scholar. He is in his early six
ties, and is regarded as one of the
most brilliant international jurists of
Latin America, and has acted on many
momentous questions pertaining to
Peru and her neighbors.
Dr. Velarde will be accompanied by
his wife, who, like him, is a native
Of Lima, and was, before her mar
riage, Senorita Isabel Bergman, and
their only son, Senior Hector de We
larde. The only daughter is married
She may visit some time later, but
she is not expected at the present.
DR.. Velarde, though eminent in legal
circles and a writer of note on his
many diplomatic posts, having been
in succession minister to Brazil, to
Colombia. and to Argentina He was
also for two years undersecretary of
state, and about five years ago was
the high commissioner. to settle a
vexed boundary question between
Peru and Brazil, which had been
pending and causing i'll feeling for
more than thirty years.
1t was most amicably adjusted and
h4 Va hoe lob Cfr ~ h
ened the friendship between the ma
tions engaged. It is possible with
this triumph in mind that the prea-
dent or Peru has selected one of the
ablest lawyers for the Washington
mission, as the thorny question of
Arica-Tacna will soon come up for
final hearing.
Son Here Before.
Senior Hector velarde. who will ac-
company his father and will be at
tached to the embassy as secretary,
spent some months in Washin gton in
1922, when the mediation between
Chile and Peru over the Arica-Tacna
question, problem which Is called
the Alsace-Lorraine Of Latin Ameri-
Of State. Mr.. velarde was the sec
rotary Of the special commission sent
by Peru and was here all through
the months Of the conferences. He
is about twenty-five, Is unmarried
and speaks English very we'll. Like
his father, he was carefully prepared
for a public career in the venerable
University of Lima and afterward
took a course in the University OF
Paris.
Selection Of House.
A problem which will Immediately
face the ambassador and Sonora de
Velarde relates to a. suitable home
for the embassy. 1t is understood
that neither will care to reside in an
apartment house as did Senior Pezet,
former ambassador from Peru. The
chancelry is we'll provided and oc-

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-17

1t seems that the capitalists are becoming con-
verted to the British Labor Party, while the en-
thusiasm of the workers is being distinctly cooled.
The masters of Britain find that the policies, in
Guiding the most orthodox Imperialism are being
administered just as conscientiousy as they form
erly were by Lloyd George, while the masses are
more quiet because they think they have made a
change in government Macdonald and his cabi-
net are converting the British capitalists to So
cialism, by converting socialism into mask for
the most brazen Imperialism on earth.
This kind of socialism" also takes we'll with
our own Wall Street imperialists. A recent issue
of the "Monthly Economic Review" of the National
City Bank of New York, gives a long quotation
from a speech of ~. FL. Thomas head of the Ma.
tional Union of Railwaymen, England, member
of Parliament and one of the leaders of the Labor
Party" "Of course nothing but commentator can
be given to the sentiments it expresses" says the
National City Bank
1t is the same sort of conversion" that the off
cials of the shop unions of the American movement
achieved, when they converted the Baltimore and
Ohio railway to their cooperative plan. They
convert the bosses to unionism by surrendering
uniOnism to the bosses, just the British Labor
Party leaders are converting their masters by
carrying out their masters policies. They may
call it conversion" but another and more frank
name for it would be treason to the workers"

Haunting the American Legion

The spectre of Communism is haunting the
American Legion, which is the reason that or.
ganization is conducting contests over the coun-
try for the best ESSAYS" telling why Communism
is menace to Americanism." We received a
copy Of the prizewinning effort produced at Port
Clinton, Ohio, which is really a gem. Here are
few extracts to show what it takes to win prizes
in the Legion, and to help us understand what an
abyss of ignorance yawns beneath that organiza-
ton
"In Athens there was almost perfect form of
Communism; the slaves did the common labor"
'The Communists have great deal to do with
revolutions. They say all men are created equal
This brings about social revolutions, which are
a lurch backward to lower plane. If there is
ever a revolution in the United States, we will
have to beware of the social forces"
"The Communists are very cruel to the promi
nent leaders in Russia. The younger generation
and the intelligent people have left and gone to
different countries"
1.-TWO reasons why Communism will not succeed
are first it is not successful and second if the
state attempted to set in operation in the u S.
there would be civil war"
"The conclusion Of the whole matter is that
Communism is only dream"
There you have it, and right from the American
Legion. Communism failed about 500 B. G. in
Athens because it wasn't Communism; to say men
are created equal brings revolution; revolutions
are lurches backward; we must beware of the so
cial forces; prominent leaders" 1--WE suppose this
includes the Car get treated cruelty in Russia,
so the younger generation" has gone away to
other countries leaving presumably, only the
hardened old Bolshevik sinners to keep Russia GO
ing at ALL
Finally to clinch the whole argument we are
told that Communism will not succeed because
it is not successful. That out to settle it forever
This 'prize essay" has been entered in the State
contest of the American Legion, and will doubtless
take the prize there also. From Ohio it should
march triumphantly into the national contest, and
thereby become the Lords Prayer of the American
Legion, the K. K. K, the 100 percenters, and Sam
Gompers

Gompers' Victories

The American Federation of Labor maintains
costly and useless instrument labelled "The Leg
islative Committee"
Periodically this department. consisting usually
of lame duck labor leaders lackeys who were
rewarded by Gompers with this do-nothing job for
services rendered, issues glowing reports on the
legislative achievements of American organized
labor. OF course, when this committee speaks of
organized labor, it has only the American Fedora
ton of Labor in mind.
The report issued by the Legislative Committee
on the first session of the 6Sth congress just adj
journed, is a highly eloquent and an even more
highly sad tribute to the impotency of Gompers'
"non-partisan" politics.
Labor has no fault to find with the rank and
file of Congress-" is the keynote of the report just
issued by Gompers' Legislative Committee. We
wonder whether Mr.. Gompers has forgotten the
fact that $4,000 postal employees were denied an
increase in wages. Why did not the rank and file
of Congress, with whom Gompers has no fault to
find, override COolidge's veto this question?
Why did not this same rank and file enact any
remedial legislation for the bankrupt farmers and
the growing army of unemployed industrial work
ers?
AS usual the Gompers legislative wizards have
the record of every deceased congress. This year,
Mr.. Gompers boasts of two extraordinary victor
les Victory number one: this field marshal of
big business in the ranks of organized labor re-
joces the fact that the last Congress did not
recognize Soviet Russia. Mr.. Gompers monOp-
olizes the discredit for this policy pursued by the
United States government against the first work
ers and farmers republic of the world.
The other big victory won by Gompers is the
enactment of the immigration Law admitting
only two per cent of any nationality, based on the
number of its foreign born residents in this coun-
try in 1890 The emptiness and costliness of such
victories to the workers need no emphasis The
net effect Of the new immigration Law is an in
crease in the power of our strikebreaking govern
ment to control and determine the movements of
millions of workers.
When will the American workers rid themselves
of the scourge of such Gomperism victories?

Deadly Efficiency

The United States boasts of having the most
efficient coal miners in the world. The American
miner has the greatest capita output of any miner
in the world The production per man in 1918
was 942 tons. At the same time the British miner
managed to dig only $50 tons per year.
There are many clouds to this silver lining of
American efficiency that seldom sees in print
The United States Geological Survey in making
reports on the status of the coal industry rarely
utters a word regarding the intolerabe working
conditions most of the miners are subject to. The
sundry private investigating agencies are in the
main mum the same matter.
Welcome light is shed on another dark phase of
this deadly efficiency by recent investigation on
coal mining fatalities made by Mr. w. w. Adams,
statstician of the United States Bureau of Mines.
This survey indicates that more miners are killed
by accidents in the United States in proportion to
the number of men employed than in any of the
Industrial countries of Europe.
Assuming three hundred days in full working
year, Mr.. Adams has found that the number of
miners killed per thousand employed in 1922, was
4S9 In Great Britain, where the miners do not
turn out such huge profits hr their bosses as the
Americans do, the number killed per thousand en-
ployed was only 100. The 1920 figures, affording
q comparison with France, Belgium, and Prussia
are even more instructive. For every thousand
miners digging coal in 1920 3.7S were killed in the
United States; LII in Great Britain; 1.13 in
France 1.12 in Belgium; and 2.16 in Prussia.
American capitalists have decisive lead over
their comprehension the number Of miners killed
while digging profits and coal similar condi-
ton prevails in other industries Approximately
two hundred thousand eye accidents, of which ff-
teen thousand result in permanent blindness, oc-
cur annually in American industry.
The anti.social the destructive character of CAPT
talism is reflected most gruesomely in the relation
of industrial accidents to profits. Only the Com
munist ownership and operation of industry can
preserve and enhance industrial efficiency with.
out destroying the workers.

THE recent killing" made by
| Arthur w. Cutten, Chicago grain
gambler, who sold 100000 bushels of
July corn at a profit of $500, 900,
will. no doubt be an inspiration to
the farmer. Mr.. Cutten's killing" is
ascribed to his faith in the rise OF
grain prices" and to his patience" in
holding on to his corn. The moral
for the farmer. is, Of course, go thou
and do likewise"
The same type Of "go-getter," "suc'
cess" food is handed out by the pluto
press to the industrial workers as
we'll as to dirt farmer From brake
man to railroad president" From
dirt farmer TO millionaire"-is the
familiar cry. Let us analyze the sit
uation from the farmers viewpoint.
In February 1924, month of heavy
sales, July corn sold for about so
cents bushel. Forced by the de.
mands for credit at this season OF
the year, the farmer is forced to sell
at the current figure. Neither the
banks. the equipment trusts, the tax
collector, nor the grain buyer are in
