WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
Proposed American naval maneuvers

idge, begging him to veto the trip,
which would be provocative, unneces-

the recent exclusion act and by the
speeches of Secretary Of the Navy
Wilbur who threatened the Japanese
with cold steel"

WASHINGTON, April 5-FP)-
Painless separation of Latin-Americaz
republics from their interest in the
league Of nations is contemplated in
a new scheme drawn up by James
Brown Scott of the Carnegie Founda-
ton for Peace, on the request of the
Pan-American Union, to be presented

iro to attempt a codification of Amer
lean international law. Thirty draft
conventions, whose object is the out.
having of war and the establishing
Of uniform policy in foreign relations
among all nations within the Pan-Am-
erican Union, are offered One OF the
proposed treaties forbids the cession
of territory to any non-American ma
ton. Another forbids temporary oc-
cupation of the territory Of one ma.
ton by another, whether with the con
sent of the government of the occu-
pied country or not, if the occupation
is intended to exercise sovereignty.
In case of danger of war between
any two American countries, the
scheme provides that appeal may be
taken to the Pan-American Union in
order that IAN exchange Of views"
may be had.
The Pan-American Union, nominally
a council Of the representatives of ali
sovereign nations in the western hem
isphere, is in parctice a gathering OF
Latin-American diplomats in Washing
tion to ratify the opinions expressed
by the secretary Of state of the United
States, and to promote investment OF

Kellogg and Coolidge,
Miffed by French, in
Quandary Over Russia

WASHINGTON, d. c., April g.
Secretary of State Kellogg and Presi-
dent Coolidge are keenly resentful Of
the refusal of the French government
to have anything to do with a con-
ference this year for further limita-
ton Of naval construction.
Kellogg insists that he has not,
even informally, asked the French
what they think about the scheme.
That they should go ahead and tell
the public that they disapprove of
the first move made by the new head
Of the state department is circum.
stance that almost bowls Kellogg
over.
Chairman Borah OF the senate for.
eign relations committee has never
believed that the conference could be
arranged until France had assuranc.
es Of security in Europe. Further, he
has argued with Coolidge that France
could get no genuine security until
Russian recognition by the United
States had been granted and until the
economic life OF Europe had been SO.
cured by the restoration OF interna.
tional credits to Russia, either direct
or thru Germany.
President Coolidge reacts to his
disappointment by declaring that
American private loans to Europe
should be withheld in all cases where
the money would be uaed IN huild
up further armament or to maintain
armies. He wants every American
dollar which may be sent abroad to
20 to work in an industrial or trans.
portation enterprise. to earn profits
for American capitalists.

Especial to The Daily worker.)

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Ending a
months since in SO far as public
utterances have been concerned, Pres
ident Coolidge next week will make
the first of series of speeches bear
ing on major domestic issues which
have been planned to carry him well
into the summer months.
His first address will be before the
National Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation, in convention here on Mon
day night.
Ten days later, Coolidge will open
the women's world fair in Chicago,
speaking over the radio direct from
the White House.
All Set For D. A. r.
On April 20, the executive has con-
tracted to appear, before the open
ing session here of the annual con-
vention of the Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution.
The next speech, according to the
schedule thus far arranged, is the an
nual decoration day address at Airing
ton national cemetery. This occasion
probably will bring forth a discussion
of foreign policy and the contemplate
ed arms conference.
Still under consideration is the pos
sibility of journey to Charlotte, N
Carolina, on May 20, in connection
with the celebration Of the 150th an
niversary of the signing of the Meek
lemburg declaration of independence.
Goes to Twin Cities
The first definite out of town speak
ing engagements falls in early June,
probably the eight. The president has
promised to address the Norse-Amer-
lean centennial celebration at St. Paul
Minneapolis at that time.
Then comes a tentative engagement
on June 16, in Boston on the occasion
of the 150th anniversary the battle OF
Bunker Hill. Mr.. Coolidge will speak
either there or at Cambridge, Mass,
on July 3. The latter occasion being
in commemoration of the date upon
which Washington assumed command
of the continental army.
The president expects to start upon
his summer vacation soon thereafter.

council.
The first protest meeting will be
held in Seattle on April IL, to be adj

ed by weekly meetings.
Central Bodies Denounee Ruling
An upheaval Of general condemna-
ton of the corrupt tactics and pro-
cedure and condemnation Of expul-
sions is becoming state wide. Everett
council most vigorously denounced ex-
pulsions, also protest is being made
by Tacoma delegates.
Bitter feeling and general resent
ment against expulsion and particu-
larly condemnation of Jepsens rul-
ing are being expressed by members
in most local unions and by large
number Of delegates. The defend
ants locals have already given no.
tice to the council that they will send
the expelled delegates back to repre-

Many delegates who have voted

because the locals they represent had,
at the time when the council went on
record in favor of trials of delegates,
on the spur of the moment endorsed
the councils action.
The wire from Green read at coun-
ellis meeting Wednesday night, fol.
lows:
ut is my opinion that the ruling
and decision of President Jepsen Of
Seattle central body regarding un-
seating Of six delegates against
whom charges were filed by build
ing trades council (Note: charges
were filed by business agents as
delegates from the building trades)
is In accordance with parliamentary
procedure and parliamentary law.
l, therefore, officially approve and
indorse the ruling of decision of
Chairman Jepsen. This ruling and
decision will continue in force and
effect pending an appeal by in
dividuals affected to the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor, providing such appeal is
later taken"
The decision and procedure was
being characterized by delegates as
conviction Of defendants before
hearing and trial.

not and will not now be a majority
for conviction, but if another vote
was taken, would be an overwhelming
majority against expulsion.
Therefore, delegates and trade I'M

friends had to appeal to Green for
support, as his decision would not
only be repudiated by the council, but

lists asking for the roll call vote taken
last week was up, ]. Havel, one Of
the defendants under expulsion, ask

ton, the chair informed him that he
was no longer delegate, but Havel
insisted vigorously that he still was

same by the chair Amidst this in
sistence, another delegate obtained
the floor, and after the amendment to

Paul Mohr Clashes With Jepsen.
Mohr vigorously insisted that he
was a member of the council as that
body has not expelled him according
to vote. 81 am not going to pay any
attention to your ruling. l am going
to have my rights. l am going to re-
port for my local union" he per-
sisted forcefully.
Jepsen kept up denying him the
floor. Mohr, angered by the chairs
refusal, told him in most determined
terms: you are crazy. You mean
you are not going to let me report
for my local?"
Jepsen, quivering and suffering,
replied, Il have instructions. A wire

In the meantime a delegate appeal

fused to entertain the appeal.
Immediately after the report, Jep-

wire from Green. Havel then an

All defendants under expulsion will
be sent back by their locals as pre-
viously announced.
All Six illegally Unseated.
The three defendants, Mohr, Han
sen and Carlson were included by the
committee in their report after sign
ed statement of the six was made.
All six defendants delivered eloquent
speeches on arbitrarily limited time
Of ten minutes each at the previous
meeting when Jepsen made his deci-
sion at the very close of the meet

When the adoption of a new con-

night, after the reading of Green's
wire, more than half Of the delegates
stampeded out in disgust, some pro-
testing, What is the use having any
