Hands OFF the World!

President Coolidge has added another chapter
to the Glands Off" diplomacy Of American imper-
ialism. On the occasion of the dedication of
monument to the memory of the dead of the First
Division, the president declared: 'We do not pro
pose to intrust to any other power or combination
of powers any authority to make up mind for
u.s.
The 'silent' Chief Executive then went on to
thunder about the United States government be-
ing the best in the world today; with Coolidge at
its head, of course. The Dawes Plan was hailed
as the one panacea which will lay "a firmer foun-
dation for industrial prosperity and more secure
peace"
The pith of the presidents address is this: Hands
off America 1t is warning to the League of
Nations that the United States will not brook even
the faintest notions aimed at influencing the course
of American policy. The speech is direct reply
to the League of Nations deiberaton on the pro-
test of Japan against the American exclusion po-
Icy. The president has simply served notice on the
)ther capitalist cliques that his bosses, the Amer
lean imperialists, strongly dissatisfied with a
good deal of the talk that has been going on in
Geneva.
When the president talks of the Dawes plan in
this speech he reminds the European capitalist
classes that America is saving their economic sys
tenn. But the president in his plea for the worlds
putting falth In the altruistic purposes of Amer
lean capitalism, does not say word about the fact
that the United States is compelled by its own
economic conditions and by the challenge of the
revolutionary working class movement, the com
munist movement to international capitalism to
embark upon the Dawes course.
All in ALL the Coolidge speech is war speech
The president in the toga of the spokesman of our
imperialst aristocracy, has decreed that it is pro
per and necessary for the United States for its
ruling class to extend sway over the world, to in
terfere in and determine the internal affairs of
Europe and the rest Of the world. Yet the econ
omic class interests of Yankee capitalism, all its
resources, its military and naval prowess forbid
any other capitalist group attempting such policy
and practice against the United States.
There is hut one answer to this defiance hurled
at the world by Mr.. Coolidge. The workers of the
United States and the other countries should reply
in a forcefu chorus to the American imperalsts :

wegian labor party. He even had the
good fortune to be prevented from
speaking by the Stockholm police
The embryo of the 215 International,
therefore, was conceived by the petty
bourgeois congress of the Hoeglund
group, with Norwegian fertilization.
But from conception to birth is a long
way-and for the new Vikings of
Stockholm and Christiania there is
still long march to the metropolis
of the international proletariat of Ber-
lin, Paris, London, and so forth. One
need not be great prophet to fore
tell that even if the weak infant of
this new 21a International will see
the light of this wicked world it will
quickly enough return into the social
democratic womb-just as did its in
glorious ancestor, the first 21a Inter-
national.
Upon what do these hairdressers of
the new 2ia International really
build? First of all, upon the refuse
of the Communist movement of all
countries. The split-off and thrown
out of the Communist International
are to be the center for the crystal
lization of the new International.

1t is interesting to see what sort of
man this is who put Davis across. 1t
would also be interesting to hear what
Mr.. John w. Davis, who has just made
grand splurge about our dear and
non-existent liberties in this country
would say about this latest act of
his lieutenant 1t would be still more
interesting to hear what this same
Mr.. Davis, the presidential nominee Of
the democratic party, this friend of
labor and liberty, would say about the
infamous record of his political
tooter.
Who Is Don chafin?
The question: "Who is Don Cha
fin?" can be asked only outside of the
state of West Virginia. In thatthug-
ruled state, there is not youngster
that could not tell you Of Don Chain.
And If he were the son Of worker,
he would speak of "'Ol Don" in no po-
lite terms. Very few workers can
speak of Chain in friendly terms in
that state and maintain the respect
Of his friends and mates.
When the United States entered the
war, unionism among the coal diggers
of District II grew swiftly, from five
to forty-two thousand. Only one
county was closed to union organiza-
tion: Logan County, ruled by Don
Chain and his picked crew of "depu-
ties" thugs-every mothers son of
them. The story goes that when a
man would come into town who was
suspected by Chain to be union or
ganizer, he was told to leave on the
next train or have his head blown off.
Usually, the man left town, for Chain
is good gunman and has score of
notches to his gun despite his forty
years.

Chinese as real friend and ally whose desire is
just the reverse of the western powers, desire
not to divide but to assist China to become strong
and united nation.
News Of the negotiations have been carried by
the capitalist press for months but the actual CON
summation of the agreement has created panic
in imperialistc circles. Coincident with the sing
ing of the agreement the Soviet government has
opened its embassy in Peking and established con-
sulates in the principle cities of China Over all
the consulates flies the crimson banner of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
The Chinese people will have no difficulty in
understanding the Soviet diplomats. NJ Ellender,
Soviet Consul general in Shanghai in the course
of his speech at the reception accorded him when
the consulate was opened, called attention to the
fact that Soviet Russia came to China peacefully
and as an equal while the imperialist powers were
present with warships and guns to protect foreign
financial interests exploiting the Chinese people.
Such a statement is unanswerable and such rev.
olutionary diplomacy dangerous than dyn-
amite to the proftmaking projects of the imper-
ialist nations
The news from Peking, read in connection with
the events in Shanghai, is comedy of high order.
1t seems that the hopes of the allied powers are
now pinned on General WI. The British minister
presented him with a set of binoculars and the
Japanese minister gave him several cases of Jap
anese wines. The Asiatic Petroleum Company an
American concern, has presented him with two
carloads of oil. The spectacle of these dignitares
conducting themselves like bartender in a water
front joint when drunken sailor rolls in will not
escape the Chinese people who are a silent but an
observant race.
But General Wu is not going to get back the
Chinese Eastern Railway for the imperalists They
have been presented with an accomplished fact
which tends more than any one thing to unite the
Chinese factions. The Russian ambassador in Pek-
ing, NJ Karakhan, has described accurately this
new development "a crushing blow to the i'm
perialist states, destroying their last chance to
grasp the eastern railway" 1t binds Soviet Russia
and China close together with common bond
that is strengthened by the efforts of the imper
ialists to break it.
A new epoch is beginning in Gilman epoch in
which the power of the western imperiaists is wan
ing and which marks the rise of Soviet Russia to
position of leadership and comradeshp with the
toiling millions of the Orient
In every nation whose ruling class is medding
in Chinese affairs there must be carried on a cam
paign that will divorce the working class from the
aims of their rulers, that will make it impossible
for the imperialist nations to mobilize armies for
the subiugaton of the Chinese masses or for war
on the workers and peasants government of Rus
sia, which they no longer ridicule but fear.

Don Chain is the democratic leader
Of Logan County. He is the man who
at the national democratic nominat-

most advocate Of the nomination be-
ing given to John W. Davis, West
virginian native son. When others
laughed at the possibility of Davis
being named, Chain, his two guns
hanging from under his armpits in
the regular manner, continued to
lobby for the candidate of Wall
