ippines, and in this plan there can be
no room whatever for relinquishing
this rich booty in the Pacific.
Undoubtedly the first target will be
the Jones law. The Jones law, pro-
viding that the Philippines might at
some time gain independence, was
passed by American Imperialism in its
infancy, when it could not yet see the
overpowering Importance of an Asiatic
foothold; nor was the wealth of the
Philippines fully evaluated; neither
had British capitalism exerted pres
sure on the American rubber industry
thru its monopoly of rubber growing.
The picture is changed today. Even
Coolidge is caught in the sticky, raw
product. 1t seems that there are
no lengths to which the Coolidge
henchmen are not willing to go to
force rubber down the throat of the
entire Filipino nation. Representative
Bacon introduces a bill favoring the
splitting up OF the Philippines into
two parts-the largest section, best
available for rubber cultivation, as
we'll as the richest in natural re-
sources (tho the most scantily settled
by one-tenth of the population, mainly
Mohammedans) to remain under
United States domination, and the
other section to be left to starve with
its plantations and source OF food sup
ply cut Off.
Thus the Filipinos are being at
tackled on all sides by the Coolidge
administration. They harbor a viper
in their very homes in the guise OF a
presidential representative. True,
they dine with him, they transport him
everywhere, they try to demonstrate
that they are a civilized nation used
to diplomatic stuff.
They cannot understand how the
American people can tolerate the con-
tinued domination of the islands when
the Filipinos think the promise of IN
dependence was made so plainly. But
they will be disillusioned. Even II

Not taking into account those who
work in small towns, where conditions

only those of the great cities, Sac

clearly that the level of existence de-

ing of other circumstances that repre-

below the cost of living.
For example, a weaver or me-

animation also shows that this con-
dition is constantly growing worse.
Various struggles have taken place
in the past many times accompanied
by heroically fought strikes by iso-

BY B. D. Trio de Janeiro).
Translated by Harrison George


A SHORT time ago the presidential
4 \ election took place in Brazil. As
was expected, the candidate designat-
ed by the government, Luis Washing
ton, has been elected. He is typical
representative of the plantation own
ers, the great land holders, and was
the old president of the province of
Sac Paulo. His friend and prede-
cessor, Bernadez, will certainly be con-
tent with the result Of the election,
because he knows that the antilabor
policy which he has followed with so
much ardor thruout his own regime
will assuredly be continued by his sue
cessor.
In accord with the constitutional
rules of the country, the president
should have been elected by universal
suffrage, but, in reality, there has been
nothing like this at any time, because
each president in the exercise of his
office is able to select at his pleasure
the future candidate for the presi-
dency, and to have him elected by a
system that assures in advance a com
plete victory for the government
authorities.
This, and the utterly miserable eco
nomic situation of the working class,
show clearly how the authorities abuse
the patience of the workers, exploited
beyond all measure. There is no ex-
aggeration in the statement that the
conditions of existence borne by the
Brazilian proletariat are comparable
to those of any colonial people.
A brief examination of the condi-
tiOns of those native and immigrant
workers who toll on the coffee pIanta-
tions is enough to convince anyone OF
that fact.
From dawn till dark these poor
slaves, with bending backs, must work

Of American capitalism can be di-

Now, more than ever, when the

about this. Coolidge has approved OF

Filipinos, If, in accordance with Will

law, they are to receive their inde-

The Filipinos want independence.

Thompson has one outstanding mis-

way for rubber growing at all costs,

his jaunt to the islands is to measure
the economic resources and make a

is the economic well-being of a nation
so closely tied up with its political
future as in the Philippines. The
