Coolidge the Liberotor

President Coolidge is at his best when he does
not say anything. With no man in public Office
was silence ever as gold-laden as with "Cautious
Cal"
The other day Coolidge broke his silence and de-
livered an address at the commencement exercises
of the Howard University, an institution attend
ed by Negroes On this occasion the President did
his best to win the Negroes because of the APP
preaching elections His remarks are most en-
Tightening for the great mass of workers and poor
farmers of all races.
According to the Teapot il-annoited head Of
our nation "the black mans probation on this con
tinent was necessary part in great plan by
which the race was to be saved to the world for
service we now able to vision"
In the plain English, the President told his
audience that chattel slavery was in order at one
time and that the Negro people had to go thru
all the suerings and degradation of the slave sys
tom In order to prove themselves worthy of the
opportunity to live the North American CON
tinent. This is nothing else but an Endorsement
OF slavery for the Negroes while it existed and an
acceptance of its abolition only after it's overthrow
We are somewhat surprised at this line of talk
on the eve of national campaign from so prac
teal precinct politician as Coolidge. For once
his principles got the better of his sense of
political discretion and he refused to make mer
chandlse out OF them. The Negroes owe Coolidge
vote of thanks for showing his real self to them.
What can the Negro masses expect from a pre-
sident who thinks that slavery, degrading chattel
slavery was necessary test of probation for their
race? How much will such man and the Party he
leads be ready to do for the relief of the subject
Negroes? OF what concern can the welfare and
the economic and social equality of the Negroes be
to Coolidge and his capitalist masters, whose voice
he is when he is still in the state of justifying all
the crimes committed against the colored race?
Coolidge's speech was also the answer to all
OF these questions. The Negroes without the land
would do well to think and act en- the above con-
tribution of the president towards the genuine
liberation of the people.

Shades of Glenn Plumb!

If the spirit of Glenn Plumb has not entirely
forsaken interest in this world, and turned to the
naturalization of the celestial traffic system then
il must have uttered deep moan, clanked heavy
chains in the depths Of night, and otherwise done
its best to haunt Warren $. Stone after that
worthy made his speech Of June 9TH at the engi-
neers' convention.
"The railroad brotherhoods have no quarrel with
private ownership" Stone told the convention. And
this is the same Stone who lately propagandized
for the Plumb Plan; who followed the dynamic in
tellect that gave Gompers his only serious defeat
in generation at the Montreal convention of the
American Federation Of Labor; who joined in a
movement for the naturalization and democratic
management Of the railroads. that for all its short
comings was the first victory for idealism and
progressive thought in the American labor move.

grave if he heard this statement.

Winning a World

In Boston, the empire city of Coolidges state,
there was held convention the other day which
is of inestimable Importance to the workers and
dispossessed farmers of the United States We have
in mind the eleventh convention of the National
Foreign Trade Council. From the point of view of
the control of the nations economic system and the
welfare of the masses this gathering of captains
of industry and finance far exceeds in Importance
the puppet show now going on at Cleveland.
The most striking and significant speech of the
gathering was that delivered by James A. Farrell
President Of the United States Steel Corporation
Mr.. Farrell made clarion call to American manu-
facturers and bankers to go out and win the world
The American capitalist class was implored to
girdle its oins for contest in which it would beat
all competitors in getting control of more markets.
in securing a hold of new raw materials, and in
expanding its industry and commerce.
A strong plea was made for increasing American
investments in the lesser developed industrial coun
tries. Special attention was brought to the OPP
portunities awaiting American exploiters in Latin
America. The case of Cuba's being a good Gus
toner offered as "a graphic illustration in the
manner in which American investment of capital
abroad stimulates industry and trade at home"
1t is of special interest to note the keynote
struck for finance and industrial capital was by
the head of the biggest basic industrial organiza
ton in the country. The fact that Mr. Farrell
was chosen to deliver the main speech at the con-
vention of the real rulers of the country indicates
the almost complete unity between finance and in
dustrial capitalists already attained in the United
States Under such condition the national CAPT
talist group is almost invncible in the struggle for
world markets and spheres of investment influence
- This determination of capitalist class to
achieve world financial and commercial hegemony
is of tremendous concern to our rural and urban
working masses Such conflict and aim on the
part Of exploiters can only be attained at the
expense of the welfare and lives of the wage work
ers and exploited farmers. The will of any national
capitalist group to conquer and attain supremacy
is always buttressed by huge armadas and power
full armies. Militarism and capitalist Imperialism
are the two faces of the employing class Janus
breeding new wars and internal destruction for
the masses. The dollar and the flag are a most
plesive combination. Together they spell only
death for millions of workers and poor farmers.

Gompers complains, in an encyclical de
nouncing the June IL st. Paul convention that
II is "plot" to undermine our national institu-

Samuel evidently has reference to his political
organization, the Democratic Party of Tammany

He fears thatthe launching of real Farmer-Lahor
Party will destroy the illusion, carefully Guilt
waited by his Non-Partisan Campaign Committee,
that Gompers has political power which the Demo
cratic Party must purchase by handing out few
Jobs to his satellites
Gompers has a reason, at this time, to fight
against June H. He hopes to have his friend
Berry, pressman strikebreaker, candidate for
vice-president on the Democratic ticket He there
fore fears real labor ticket in the field like the
devil fears holy water.

A Teapot's Tempest?

Mouselike results for mountainous efforts This
is the best way of summing up the conclusions of
the Teapot Dome Committee on the scandalous oil
lease.
+ Only few months ago the country was flooded
with the revelations of sinister control of all
agencies of the government by the oil and other
capitalist corporate interests For while it APP
peared to the creduous and the liberal supporters
of capitalism that big moral revolution, sort
of fit of purity in employing class politics. would
break out. At last the bad would make room for
the very good in the national political life.
And then-the brakes were put on. A halt was
put to the disclosures. The country wasn't told
even onetenth of the story, to quote almost the
exact words of a socalled progressive member of
the Teapot committee, Senator Dill of Washington.
Gradually but certainly the reactionary interests
resumed control of the committee. Even the in
vestigatiOn steam denied us in time
Now the Walsh report on the whole filthy mess
comes the only logical and inevitable conclusion,
the browning point to the failure of the insurg
ents and constructive progressiyes to utilize the
situation for the enhancement of the political
power of the masses. The report on the Doheny-
SinclairFall oil leases is noteworthy for its de-
liberately avoiding restatement and emphasis of
those of its findings the knowledge of which would
tend to undermine the faith of the exploited classes
in the present system of capitalist government and
industry.
For example, the report submitted by Senator
Walsh and his committeeman does not say a word
about the principle" The improtant incident in
volving the Washington hortculturist and Coolidge
wire-puller, Mclean, who dealing in peaches"
and "apricots" while he was shielding the plumber
ers of the countrys oil resources is not discussed.
The role of Jake Hamon at the 1920 Republican
convention in purchasing the Harding nomination
is left out of the summary. The ownership and con
troll of McAdoo by Mr.. Doheny is forgotten.
certificate of innocence is given to DENLY. Roose-
yet's skirts are cleared. The part played by
Coolidge, Smoot and Lenroot of the Old Guard of
the Republican Party does not even draw the
slightest attention of the Committee
In short it be correctly stated that the Walsh
Committee made it it's business to hide from the
American working and farming classes those very
disclosures which, if impressed upon them would
promote their taking steps to make impossible the
recurrence of such capitalist scandals But try as
the Walsh Committee might, the effects Of the re-
velations have already done great deal towards
exposing the government in all its ugly nakedness.

"Forgive and Forget" High Glass

Fine acting, an excellent cast, in

Theatre last night, motion picture
that will continue to attract the pub

1T is a high class picture from be-
ginning to end-and more than that,
it is story that is true to life, and
logical throughout. A large and
enthusiastic audience last night
demonstrated unbiased approval.
Howard NJ. Mitchell, who directed
the production, and Harry Cohn,
who produced it, have done that
most difficult feat-made one forget

be engrossed only in the incidents
that occur. We found ourselves ac-
tually wishing that the william would
get his in the end, and the inno-
cent and long-suffering husband be
indicated.
This is. of course, due in large
measure to the fine acting of a liter
ally all-star cast. Estelle Taylor, as
the young wife whose fiirtations start
all the trouble, plays with intelli-
gence and distinction, besides being
very good to look at. = Wyndham
