PERSHING SORE
AT Chile FOR
MAKING APPEAL
Also Don't Like Any
Hostile Publicity
tspeeiaI to The Daily workerl

AFRICA. Chile, Dec. IA. - General
Pershing made a vicious attack on
Chile and its representative, Senior
Augustine Edwards for daring to APP
peal against Pershing's position on
the matter of holding a plebiscite Feb
ruary 1, 1926, instead of April Is, as
proposed by Pershing.
Pershing declares that the compli-
ance to the commissions DEGREES had
been when accorded at ALL formal
rather than substantial"
Rifles the General.
II was particularly annoying to the
honorable general of the U. S. army,
that Senior Edwards had not only
made a scathing criticism of his,
Pershings, handling of the matter,
but had released such address to
the press"
This, after had specifically drawn
his attention TO such an understand
ing and agreement, advising him that
such publication could only be regard
ed by the commission as conspicuous
and an unfortunate violation thereof"
A New Plan.
Considerable sentiment among those
in Chile who wish to keep the good
will OF the U. S. bankers, favors a
division of the Tacna-Ariea territory,
instead of giving 1t all to one or to
the other. If Peru gets the Tacna
region under such a plan, It will have
It only in spite of the fact that 500
miles of desert separate Peru proper
from the Tacna region.
This plan, however, is the "solu-
ton" offered by the "Pan-American
diplomatic corps a body something
like the diplomatic corps at Picking.
China, which is taking more and more
the position of dictator of Chilean af-
fairs

COMMUNIST IN
TENTH DAY OF
I HUNGER STRIKE
Physical Condition Is
Dangerously Weakened


HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 14.-Ths
traitorous Maehado government Of
Cuba, acting under orders from Am
erlean Imperialism declares that il
will let Julio Antonio MelIa, general
secretary Of the Communist Party, die
m prison for his terrible crime Of op-
posing the American sugar interests.
Mels is entering upon the tenth day
Of his hunger strike. His pulse is re-
corded at SO, respiration at 20, and
his entire physical condition is dam
gerously weakened.
The ostensible charge against Mella
and the twelve workers arrested with
him is setting off bombs in front of
factory, but it is we'll known that
the bombs were placed by the police
department. Mella was miles away
at the time. There is little attempt
to conceal the fact that the real
reason for his arrest was activity in
the strike of the sugar-cane workers
against the American sugar trust.
Active Leader for Liberation.
AS general secretary of the Com
'munist Party of Cuba, Julio A. Mella,
has been the most active leader in
the movement to free the island from
Wall Street domination. He organ
lied the Cuban section of the All
America Anti-Imperialist League.
which has systematically exposed the
relations of the American ambassador
Crowder, to the Cuban government.
In name the ambassador of a friend
ly foreign power, Crowder is in fact
the representative Of an imperial
overload. treating Cuba as its private
Progression. General Machado, REF.
dent of Cuba, is a mere tool Of Crowd
er. The United States government
permitted Machado to elect himself
president by fraud and now Machad0
is making good" with his protectors.
Workers and students have been de-
ported wholesale for daring to voice
"anti-American sentiments
The case of Mella is of the utmost
importance. 1t will show just how
far American imperialism can or can
not go in it's terrorization Of an
ostensibly free country. Protests are
pouring into Cuba from all parts of
Central and South America 1t is
now up to the workers in the United
States.

TURKS DEFY
LEAGUE ON
IRAK FIGHT
British Prepare Naval
Attack on Turkey
tspseIaI e The paIIy worksrl

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. A.
Tewfik Rushdi Bey, Turkish foreign
minister, announced last night that
the Turkish delegation would have
nothing more to do with the council
of the league of nations as far as
the MosuI dispute is concerned. They
will not participate further in such
deliberations and have stated their
opposition to Britain and their resent.
ment against the league in no uncer-
tain terms.
The Turks were Infatuated at the
news from London to the effect that
the British government was prepar.
ing for a swift naval attack upon the
Dardanelles. This is interpreted as
an attempt to capture and hold Con-
stantinople, long an objective of Great
Britain.
VIII Resist Britain.
In spite of British naval prepare
tons and the threat of wholesale air
bombings against their country, the
Turks declare they are prepared to
resist Dy Iorce or arms IL necessary
the efforts of Britain to seize the dis
puted territory in Irak.
The Turkish statesmen point out
that most of the mandates areas in
the middle east really belong to them
and were forcibly annexed by the
various countries holding league man
dates after the war. Even with So
called unanimous decision on the
boundary dispute, which theoretically
would array all Europe against Tur-
key they are unyielding as they know
that the fierce antagonism that is now
smouldering will force new align
ments at the outbreak of European
war, and that it is unlikely that
either Italy or France will engage
in a war against Turkey on the side
of Britain. tEr
