ARE
FOR COMPLETE
INDEPENDENCE
Nothing Else Will Do,
Says Commission
tspseIaI to The DaIIy Worker,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2S.-In
an official statement issued by the
press bureau of the Philippine Com
mission of Independence the charge
is made that the statement of Dean
Maxine Kalaw of the University of
the Philippines is being interpreted to
mean that the Filipinos are prepared
to accept a settlement Of the question
that would fall short Of independence.
This Interpretation is entirely
wrong, says the press bureau, and
quotes the following cable from it's
Manila Office:
Before any step can be taken to-
wards a satisfactory solution of the
Philippine problem three things must
be considered by the American people.
First, the independence pledge is
morally binding on the United States.
Second, Filipino desires and aspi-
rations must be interpreted by their
own leaders in the light Of their elec-
tions, and not by any American visitor
or official, and
Third, no relationship with the
United States can be satisfactory un-
less It rests on the mutual consent
Of two peoples,
"The only settlement that will com
pletely satisfy the Filipino people is
the granting Of immediate, complete
and absolute Independence, and il a
solution other than this is arrived at
it will not be because the Flipinos
abandoned that goal, but because it is
the very best they can get out Of a
situation over which they have no
control"

WASHINGTON = OPP - Importa-

cotton fields OF Arizona Is an indict-
ment OF the colonial system that has
been fastened on Porto Rico, Santa
go Iglesias points out in a statement
protesting against the indifference of
the Washington government to the
economic misery OF his people. Igle-
sias is head OF the working class eco
nomic and political movements in the
island, and in vain has sought enforce
ment Of the law limiting land holdings
TO small tracts. Huge plantations are
now run by American companies. and
the Porto Rican people are driven
from the land, Wages are 60 to 20
cents day and three-fourths Of the
wealth produced Is exported.

workers refused to assist in producing
the "o'Portugal," a violent anti-strike
paper, and the South African workers
sent e300 as donations towards the
strike relief fund,
Portuguese Solidarity.
Attempts to procure blacklegs from
Portugal have ended in failure, and
the nine deportees from Mozambique
were enthusiastically welcomed in
Lisbon by demonstration of workers,
10000 strong. A further batch of de-
portees still remain in the province
owing to the sailors refusing to trans
port them to Portugal, The strikers
wives formed themselves into COM
mando and in spite of being fired on
by the military carried on demonstra-
tions and collected funds for strike
relief.
The whole strike has been a re-
markable evidence Of working class
solidarity, and all the more so when ii
is recognized that the men have had
only the fiimsiest trade union organi-
cation, The confident tone of the gov.
ernment officials at the outset has now
given way to an outlook of gloomy
anxiety.
Tho kept press has come out with
vilifying attacks against the South
African Worker" the organ OF the
South African Communist Party, be.

encouragement OF the strikers cause.
So great has been the dislocation OF
business in Lourenco Marques that
the railway administration has agreed
TO continue the granting OF all privi.

with the exception Of the 200 due for
retrenchment. These, they say. will
be repatriated at government expense.
The strikers, however, have replied
that all men must be reinstated or
none at all, and so the fight goes on.
The issue of the struggle seems
doubtful ut the moment, for while the
government has perceptibly weak.

privileges coming on top of this fall
In wages. This was followed by a gen
eral strike on November 19 as a pro
test against the cost OF living, depre-
ciated currency, etc. With the excep-
ton Of shipping houses (Which carried
on business behind closed doors) and
government departments, practically
all business was at standstill for
about fortnight. This was followed
by lightning strike in sympathy with
the striking railwaymen or, more cor
rectly, as protest against the meth
DDS adopted by the government,
White Terror Rules.
The new railway reform regulations
stated that from the 1st of December
certain privileges hitherto enjoyed by
the railway workers would cease,
while 200 men would be discharged
from the railways, In addition TO this
an extra four hours was to be tackled
on to the usual working week, and all
medicine and fraternity rights were
to be abolished.
In the face of this attack strike ac-
tion was the raiFwaymen's only alter
native, and this they made use Of
Right from the commencement of the
struggle the strikers were opposed by
a vicious reign of white terror. All
sorts of unscrupulous methods have
been employed against them, to the
extent Of forging copies OF their strike
bulletin, urging a return to work, of
imprisonment deportation and torture.
Many have been imprisoned, others
have been forced to hide in the bush

Raoul Ferreira, q staunch trade

URUGUAYAN C.P.
FORCES DEPUTY
OUT OF CHAMBER
Opportunist Errors in
Parliament Punished
Especial to The Daily workerl


MoNTEvIDEo, Uruguay (BY
Mail) The Communist deputy, MI
belli, has resigned from the chamber
of deputies of Uruguay. This resigna-
ton is the result Of the decision of
the enlarged executive committee
taken in the last days of July when
Mibelli's attitude and activity in and
out of parliament was severely con-
demned. He was declared unfit to
represent the Communist Party in par
lament and was instructed to resign.
Mibelli was accused Of opportunism
in the following instances:
Defends an Error.
1. When MibelH proposed an in
crease of salary for the teachers Of
Uruguay he wrote that this "Commu-
mist project will definitely solve the
economic problem of these public
servants and the social problem of il
literacy."
When the executive committee
pointed out the grave error of such a
statement and the mistake in attrib-
uting to a bourgeois parliament the
capacity of solving fundamental So
cial problems, he persisted and de-
Tended his statement.
Wrong Headed on Franco.
2. When the Spanish military avi-
ator Franco arrived in his fight from
Spain to South America, Mibelli pro-
posed in parliament, on his own ini-
tiative, in the name of the Commu-
mist Party, to grant Franco honorary
Uruguayan citizenship
He was told that Franco had fought
against the Riff and had declared
that he is going to return again to
Morrocco-and that Mibelhs motion
would help the chauvinist and militar-
ist campaign. But Mibelli could not
see that he was compromising the
prestige of the Communist Party with
the workers and tried to justify him
self by comparing his motion with
the fact that the soviet government
hailed the North Pole aviators of the
Norge.
Party Interested Only in Workers.
8. Mibelli supported in parliament
a project according to which all depu-
ties failing of reelection should be
pensioned. He did not recognize, that
Communist deputies have to defend
only the interests of the workers and
not of bourgeois deputies.
For all these reasons MibelH was
declared unfit to represent the party
in parliament. He was, however, not
expelled from the party as he submit
led to the decision Of the executive.

POINCARE IN
SUBTLE BLOW
AT new PACT
Rift With BRAND May
Come Over Germany

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-Profiting by the
occasion, Raymond Poincare, Frances
premier, took advantage of his speech
before the disabled war veterans at
the Paris suburb of st. Germain, to
warn Germany that France regarded
the Germans as responsible for the
world war, and by this means Poin-
care undoubtedly also aimed his
words at Foreign Minister BRAND
with whom he is at political outs.
Left Handed Attack on BRAND.
Altho BRAND, following his recent
secret meeting with Foreign Minister
Stresemann of Germany, announced
a new rapprochement between France
and Germany and hailed the dawn Of
peace between the two nations, Poin-
care took an entirely different course.
You cannot forget" said Poincare,
that the warfare carried on on our
soil, thru violation Of neutral state
and by orders of the imperial staff,
was conducted with cruelty"
Opposes New Accord.
"If the Germany of today would
openly disavow certain procedures of
the Germany Of yesterday, it would
be easier for us to turn our eyes
away from the scars and extend out
hands to the authors OF Your wounds" I"
This is unquestionably in opposi-
ton to the accord reached by BRAND
and Stresemann, Stresemann mean
While having refused to acknowledge
that Germany alone was responsible
for the war.

many thousands OF people from which
the trade unionists watch the various
games and matches.
Summer Activities.
During the summer theatricals, con-
certs, sports, mass excursions and pic
MICS are held, great crowds OF trade
unionists participating in them.
To give an idea of the character
and scope of summer educational ac-
tiVities we shall cite some of the flg-
ures contained in 2S reports for 1925
which deal with the activities of trade
unions embracing some 4S per cent OF
the trade union membership in the
U. S. S. R.
Nearly 100000 Visit Gardens.
These organizations controlled 264
gardens with total area Of 4,422, 500
square meters or an average of 1T
hectars per garden. There were
6s3,o0o rubles spent in 1925 in equip
ping 1S9 gardens. During the sum-
mers the gardens were visited by g.
$4,000 people.
There were 634 sport fields, the
equipment Of which cost $4,000 ru-
bles. In the course of three months
the sport fields were attended by
1,614,0O0 persons. In addition there
were 35 shooting galleries, which
we're attended by $4,000 people.
Thousands Of Excursions.
During the summer of 1925, 4,209
excursions were held in which SIT 900
people participated.
Many of the unions have water
sport stations (swimming, rowing,
water polo, etc). A total of $4,000
people passed thru these.
AS has already been mentioned
above, these figures cover less than
half of the trade union organizations.
They give a sufficient indication, how
ever, OF the scope Of the educational
summer work performed by the trade
unions in Soviet Russia. 1t should be
added that this year the activities
have developed on an even larger
scale.

CATHOLICS ARE
VANQUISHED in
MEXICO FIGHT
Nothing Else to Do But
Say Prayers

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28.-The cath.
ole issue in congress is as dead as
the shinbone of Saint Anne. The op-
position Of a majority of the congress
to the proposal to consider the peti-
ton presented by the Mexican epis-
copate has caused catholics to realize
that there is no hope of obtaining any
modification Of the present anti-reli-
gious regulations.
In spite Of the good win toward the
catholic clergy manifested by certain
congressman, a large majority of the
congress, obeying the desires Of the
government, decided not to accept the
catholic petition in any form. The
government is determined not to
change the constitutional clauses nor
regulations and congress is backing
th9 policy Of President Gales to the
full.
At End of Rope.
Now that the petition has been
touched upon and the general senti-
ment of the congress made known, the
catholics admit that they fave met
with defeat and that there is nothing
else they can do under the present
regime to lessen the rigors of the pres
ent regulations. While the boycott is
effective, catholics admit that the
poorer classes, who are strictly main
tanning this boycott, are suffering and
that there are signs that they are get
ting tired Of suffering for a cause
which is now being generally consid-
cred as lost. 1t Is clear that the boy
colt, while 1t has been strong arm,
is slowly losing its effectiveness, and
in short time the boycott, which has
caused a decided slump in general
business Will be thing Of the past.
They Didn't Do II.
The only hope Of the church to sue
ceed In forcing amendments to the
penal regulations was the influence Of
foreign countries, which were expect
ed to indicate their displeasure to the
Gales government. The stand taken
by President Coolidge, that the church
question was purely an internal affair
Of Mexico, was disappointing to the
church, as the leading prelates be-
neved that the United States as the
champion Of religious liberty would
use pressure upon Mexico to have the
religious laws changed. If the United
States had adopted that attitude, other
foreign countries would also have
used pressure, and the prelates be-
lieved that the government would
hasten to modify its policy toward
the church.
All these ideas have been changed.
The catholics are downhearted and at
loss to know what measures may be
used to bring about change in con-
ditions. What attitude the catholics
viii adopt in the future is not known.
