KELLOGG SHOWS
HIS HOSTILITY
TOWARD mexico
Openly lnsinuates Plot
Against u. S.
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Secretary
of State Kellogg, whipped up by Am
bassador Sheffield and the, "war party"
to state Of fury against the working
class government in Mexico, has come
into the open with Insinuations that
the Mexican republic and the liberal
party Of Nicaragua. which recently
was in power are engaged in a "bol-
shevist" conspiracy against the United
States.
That is the dangerous feature in his
recent scrapping of the Central Amer
lean treaty for refusal of recognition
of regimes in that group Of states that
are not based on legal elections. 1t is
the ominous threat behind his talk of
the possibility of armed Intervention
in Nicaragua.
The Associated Press sent out from
Washington on the night of Nov. IT
dispatch which began with this SEN
tence. THE spectre Of a Mexican
fostered bolshevist hegemony inter
vening between the United States and
the Panama Canal has thrust itself
into American-Mexican relations, al
ready strained"
That sentence was inspired by state
department officials who hate the
Gales government at Mexico City, and
VINO fear its radical influence in Mic
aragua, Guatemala and other states to
the southwark. These officials know
that the president of the Pan-Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor. William
Green, sent to the department some
months ago protest against recogni-
ton Of the mili4arist Chamorro in
Nicaragua, becaEs he's had seized
power by military coup against the
liberal regime that had been elected
by the help of the Nicaraguan labor
unions.
Kellogg Wobbly.
When Secretary Kellogg was asked
on Nov. IS, whether, in view of this
Associated Press dispatch, he would
say Whether the department regards
Mexico and the Nicaraguan liberals as
being bolshevistic, he replied that the

BRITISH CAPITALISTS

Special to The Daily Worker

Especial TO ne Daily Worker)
PARIS, Nov. 21.-What was care
fully announced as a courtesy
visit Of Reginald MeKenna, former
British chancellor of the exchequer,
and now one of the largest bankers
Of the United Kingdom, to Premier
PoIncaIre has given rise to reliable
reports that Great Britain bankers
are planning help to France In Its
present financial predicament.
No Indication as TO what form the
help will take is given, but II is sur
missed that II will be a loan to the
French government. II Is also highly
probable that Mckenna discussed
with PoincaIre the known desire Of
British capitalists to invest heavily
In French industries.
Help from the bankers, however,
Is contingent on PoIncalre's ability
to stabilize the franc.
When questioned on the visit,
Polnealre stubbornly insisted II was

What does it mean? It is the name

Here is the story connected with

1t was in 1917, the hostile German

often.
The messenger tried to enter. but

could hear muffled noise and the
sound of dance music from the inside

COLONY PACT
Dominions Guaranteed

Especial to The Daily worker)

LONDON, Nov. 21.-As the price for
holding together the British empire
for yet awhile, the representatives Of
His Majesty's government have been
forced to make concessions to the
British dominions of nature that in
rdisinteeration of the once closely knit
empire upon which the sun never set.
The debate at the British empire
conference now concluded in London
on the question of the status of the
dominions, that began with the indie
pendence declaration made by Premier
Hertzog of South Africa and seconded
by Mackenzie King of Canada, has re-
suited in the drawing of a document
with far-reaching historical signi-
fcance. The pact agreed upon by the
British foreign office and the dominion
premiers is a sure sign of the fast
approaching dissolution of the empire
that. however, has been temporarily
halted by the granting of unprecedent-
ed concessions by the home govern
ment
Big Guarantees.
The premiers insisted upon, and re-
ceived in writing, guarantees of com
plete autonomy in handling their ma
tional affairs and also exacted genuine
guarantees of power in the conduct Of
international affairs. While the diplo-
matte document on the subject makes
large Of the ''yoluntarism" upon
which the empire is presumed to have
been based, the open acknowledge
ment of the equA status between the
home government and the dominions
hereafter makes it plain that the
closed debates which were held at the
conference were marked by many
dominion ultimatums that Chamber
lain and Balfour were forced to con-
cede.
Among the particular acts of the
conference making the dominions en-
tirely self-governing are the following:
Governor Generals Stripped.
Hereafter, the governor generals in
the colonies will have the status mere
ly Of king and be the personal rep
resentative of George v, but will in
no sense represent the home govern
ment. A new system of communica-
tons is worked out to reconcile this
with future practice. The colonies will
have direct access" to the king and
will themselves have high commits
sioners in London to deal directly
with the home government instead of
thru the governor-general as hereto
fore.
Whenever the king acts in dominion
matters, he will be required to act on
advice of the dominion government.
Especially in the matter of mercantile
regulations, the dominions are granted

Forgetting his message, the soldier
called as many of his fellows as he
could find to the window. Their anger
at the sight was so great that they
took can of oil, poured it's contents
over the dry wood Of the building and
put a match to it.
When the officers and men of the
Ineighboring barracks arrived at the
scene of the confiagration they found
society of sparsely clothed French
staff officers and high born ladies Of
the Roumanian court still reeling from
the combined gifts of Venus and
Bacchus.
Amongst the company were: Her
Majesty, the Queen of Roumania,
Marie Won HohenzolIern, in a pink
diaphanous night dress trimmed with
lace; the Princess Maria, the present
eonsort Of the king Of YugoslavIa,
Alexander; the Princess elizabeth, the
present consort of the ex-king Of
Greece, George; two daughters Of Gen.
eral Voitoanu, who later became the
prime minister of Roumanla Zone of
these ladies is now the wife Of the
minister of interior, FranasoVieD, the
