AS WE SEE 1T

CALVIN Coolidge came to Chicago,
~ told bunch Of fake farmers that
they were the cream of the country,
that farming is now a fine art and is
not practised for the sordid purpose
Of making profit, but because it de-
velops character. The local capital
list papers gave several columns to
this intellectual garbage and more of
the same kind, and undoubtedly edi-
torials will follow eulogising the
president for his profoundly. The
fake farmers beamed like rotarians at
a stag party whenever canny Calvin
handed them a mouthful of ballot
bait and their wives threw cat fits
every time Mrs. Coolidge smiled at
them.
WHILE Coolidge and the speculat-
w ing farmers were gorging them
selves on political bunk the poor
farmers who really produce the eats
out in the great open spaces were
nourishing healthy desire to show
Coolidge that his political psalm
singing does not put any gasolene-iaI
their fivvers or oxford bags on their
sons shanks.
According to reports they are muir
muring exceedingly. Every time they
hear bull below they think 1t is
Magnus Johnson with new message
of salvation for them. They prefer
Magnus' roar to Calyin's whispes tho
both are as dumb to the needs of the
farmers as the famed Oracle of Del
phi.

about the most effective way to get

talked to them of organization, they
Immediately cooked their ears, When

which is the back door to the
league of nations, constitute
the high lights of Coolidge's
message to the sixty-ninth con-
gress.
1t is the program Of the capitalist
government against the working class
of this country and the world. A more
brazen proclamation Of designed
plumber never was penned or uttered.
May Outlaw Strikes.
In the opening statement of the
message Coolidge says, Here and
there are comparatively small and ap-
parently temporary difficulties need
ing adjustment"
We learn what these comparatively
small difficulties are when the mes
sage informs us that ''the perennial
conflict in the coal industry is still
going on" and that the government
has permitted itself to remain so
powerless that its only attitude must
be humble duplication"
He proposes that, Authority should
be lodged with the president and the
department of commerce and labor,
giving them power to deal with an
emergency"
Threaten to Outlaw Labor.
This is nothing more nor less than
brazen threat of outlawing strikes
in basic industries and industrial con-
scription.
AS a means Of enforcing crushing
policy against the working class,
Coolim informs the country that,
Never before in time of peace has
our country maintained so large and
effective military force as it now
has. The army, navy, marine corps,
national guard, and organized re-
serves represent strength of about
SIS. 400 men. These forces are we'll
trained, well equipped and in high
morale"
Plan to MiIitarize Population.
To perfect the military might of
the nation Coolidge advocates further
militarization of the population, thru
a Sound selective service act giving
broad authority for the mobilization
in time of peril of all the resources OF
the country, both persons and mater.
ials."
Any emergency that might deprive
the capitalists of their profits can be
construed as time of peril" and il
the Coolidge plan is carried into effect
he will have the authority to conscript
men for industries as we'll as for the
army.
Perfect Air Services.
Coolidge took slap at those ella
moring for separate air service, but
pleased the aircraft manufacturers by
advocating more efficient service
Since he contemplates no foreign wal
for time, the increased power of the
air service means that the govern
ment will have more planes at the
disposal of the industrial magnates Il

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 8. - For the
second time within few weeks Julio
Antonio Mells, youthful leader of the
Communist Party Of Cuba and instru-
mental in organizing the Cuban sec
tion of the AII-Ameriea Anti-lmperial-
lst League, has been put behind prison
bars by the reactionary native govern
ment acting as the servile tool of
Wall Street and Washington. Com
rade Mella has begun a hunger strike
in his prison cell.
Workers Indignation Reused.
Indignation at this new arrest,
carrying with it the threat of renewed
governmental terroristic methods, is
running high on the island, not only
among the workers but among all sec
tions OF the population that resent the
continued subservience of the present
Cuban government to American inn
perialism. The students of Havana,
whose monthly organ, Juventud, was
founded by Mella, are loud in their
protest. A strong rank and file move
ment is rising against the official adj
ministration of the Students Fedora
ton, which betrayed Mella and aban-
dpned him to his fate.
Jailed at U. S. Request.
Mella's first arrest some weeks ago,
was in connection with the spectacu-
lar campaign Of jailings and deporta-
tons carried out by the Cuban govern
ment at the instigation Of Ambassador
Crowder This was the climax of
similar campaigns in Costa Rica and
Panama, where many workers were
Imprisoned or deported for the ex-
preston of "anti-American' opinions.
