League of Nations May
Settle Tacna-Arica

WASHINGTON, June II. - United
States imperialism has met its first
serious set back in its advancing con-
troll over Latin-America by the with
drawal of Chile from the Tacna-Arica
negotiations and a manifest tendency
to turn for any future arbitration
either to other countries Of Latin
America or to the league of nations.

Meanwhile, everything from start to

With Chile refusing, rneekly to &C

League May Ignore Monroe Doctrine
Firstly, is the possibility that Chile
may appeal to the league of nations
which means British Imperialism, to
arbitrate the Tacna-Arica affair. The
league may, to recover the prestige
it lost in South America by the resign
alton of Brazil, be only to glad tC
step in. But If it does and the United
States is compelled to stand by il
defeat, the prestige of Yankee i'm

WASHINGTON, June 17.-FP)-
Senator Caraway of Arkansas intro
duced in the senate, after the Penn
sylvania primary expenditures had
been shown to be near 100000, a
resolution reciting the language of the
Willis-Lenroot resolution adopted
when Newberry of Michigan was seat
ed in 1922. At the point where Willis
declared, in the Newberry resolution,
that the expenditure of $195,000 for
the nomination of Newberry was a
threat to the permanence of demo
cratic institutions in this country, Car
away left blank for the amount. He
stated that he left the sum blank in
order that Willis might fill It in. He
regarded the regular republicans as
experts in those matters. Willis, he
urged, should write in the amount that
the administration sepators consider
to be reasonable for nominating theii
man in Pennsylvania. He quoted q
statement by Secretary Mellon, who
said the amount expended in the state
was not unreasonable.
Defends Primaries.
Senator Hiram Johnson OF Califop
MIA followed with a spirited defense Of
the primary election system, replying
to a speech made a few days earlier
by Senator David Reed of Pittsburgh
in which Reed had referred 10 popular
primaries as a western scheme, III
only for petty western states"
Johnson asserted that the primary
election gives the common folks their
only chance against "the power, innu
ence and wealth massed against them
by the boss" and declared that 1t was
far easier TO corrupt a convention
than a primary. lie said the attitude
OF the reactionary press and politi.
clans today is that Of a litigant who,
having tried TO bride the jury, de.
nounces the jury system as a failure.

be satisfied, without being stirred to

triumph.
Taking all the facts into considers

other districts, notably Detroit, Cleve-

Of New York.
First of all, the New York District
IS most remotely removed from the

This is big advantage. In the four

Builders also have to face and fight
the most powerful kept press battery
in the nation. The New York Times
is unquestionably the best capitalist
newspaper in the United States, if not
in the world. When the Chicago Trib-

doorstep, consigned this very impor-
tant news to the third page, the New

and gave a better news account of
what really happened. The Times very

Especial to The Daily Worker)
SANTIAGO, Chile, June 17.-Enthu-
slastic demonstrations Of approval
rocked the Chilean chamber Of depu-
ties yesterday when members Of the
chamber made a spirited frontal at
tack on United States imperialism
which shelters Itself behind the sup
posed paternaI protection" Of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Chile wants none of Yankee PRO
lection" or arbitration" in the Tacna-
africa dispute, either; and the depu-
ties called upon the government to
place the arbitration of the dispute
between Chile and Peru in the hands
Of Brazil or Argentina.
Time to Balance Accounts.
"The moment has come to balance
accounts over the Monroe Doctrine,
and instead of saying, America for
North Americans say, Latin America
for Latin Americans declared Depu-
ty Edward Matte.
Deputy Estay followed his colleague
by declaring: "Chile must not forget
how North America has bullied Mexi.
co, robbed other lands and usurps
even today the territory Of Colombia"
Defles Imperialism.
Referring to the actions of Gene&l
Lassiter, Pershing's successor on the
plebiscitary commission. Estay de-
clared that Chileans can not but re-
gard such actions with contempt and
that "Chile thus replies to the ternaI
imperialism of the United States with
its plundering and trampling over
weaker peoples, and sends this mes
sage thruout the entire world" At
this declaration the entire house rose
spontaneously cheering. What effect
these speeches in the chamber may
have upon the cabinet is yet, to be
seen.
Chilean officials declare that they
fail to see by what authority the pie
biscitary commission proposes to vote
on reports of the commission after
having declared the plebiscite proceed
ings ended. Participation by Chile is
therefore regarded asAillogical and i'm
possible. Meanwhile, it is held that
until other arrangements aer made,
the territory remains exclusively in
the hands Of Chile.

COOLIDGE PICKS
LABOR ENEMIES

BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-(FP)-Is
Calvin Coolidge, by his selection of
the members of the board of media
ton established by the Watson-Parker
rail labor disputes act, deliberately
provoking a nationwide strike on the
railroads?
That is the question worrying repre-
sentatives of labor since the announce
ment that Coolidge has appointed as
chairman of that board Sam Winslow
of Massachusetts, who fought for
years as chairman of the house inter-
state commerce committee to prevent
the passage Of rail peace legislation.
Winslow alone is taunt to the rail
labor organizations. The appointment
with him of Morrow and Hanger, mem
bers of the old railroad labor board,
is regarded as direct affront to the
discussion Of rail wage peace.
But the fact that Morrow was given
the job after Senator Ernst OF Ken
lucky had told Coolidge that Morrow
must be placated or Ernst would be
defeated for reelection to the senate,
is interpreted as showing that Cool.
idge has failed utterly to meet his re-
sponsibilities in the adjustment OF the
rail wage issue.

New York District Must
Not Be Alone in Sending
Daily Builder to Moscow
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

teddy attractive publication for the
thinking elements among the workers
to buy and read SOthers may be at
tracted for excellent reasons to the
New York World, while there is the
sensational Hearst press and the tab
loids to catch the unthinking. 1t is
against this capitalist battery that The
DAILY WORKER must make progress
in the New York District.
It does not face the same bitter
struggle in the other districts. In
these other territories, even in Chi
cago, the local capitalist press is rath-
er mediocre, bitterly hostile to the
workers and offering no vital attrac.
tons to working class readers. Yet
the New. York District overcomes this
handicap also and wins the privilege
of sending one of its Builders" to visit
the capital city of the First Workers
Republic.
Then the New York District has
more working class newspapers than
any other city in the nation. 1t has
the Jewish Daily Freiheit, the Ukrain-
ian Daily News, the Hungarian Elore,
the Lithuanian Laisve, to mention a
few of the dailies. Especially in the
needle trades, the workers turn to the
Freiheit in large numbers. There are
also socialist and other working class
foreign-language dailies to attract ad-
ditional numbers of workers, who find
it easier to read their own rather than
the English language. Some Of these
dailies, of course, penetrate to the
western districts mentioned, but here
they cannot have the same carrying
power as in New York, "the home" Of
these papers.
But the New York District has also
overcome this handicap and when its
Builder" reaches Moscow he will
have a worthwhile story to tell of the
winning struggle being made to estab-
lish the English-language working
class press, The DAILY WORKER, in,
the metropolis of the nation.
The Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh
and Chicago Districts, therefore, have
no reason to accept the achievement
of the New York District as some
thing inevitable. 1t is rather a sting
ing exposure of their own inactivity.
There is still time to make good.
The subscription drive runs until July
Fourth. Reaching 10000 points in any
of these districts means another
Builder" to Moscow to imbibe the
spirit of Russian labor's victory, re-
sulting in a better labor fighter for
the class struggle in the United
States. Surely this goal is worthy Of
the greatest possible effort.
