The school will give its usual
courses in foreign trade, international
shipping, diplomacy, consular and
trade commissioner work, interna-
tional law and political science.
Though the school is only six and a
half years old it has had such UNI
usual success that its lecture rooms
are crowded to capacity and it has
been found necessary to announce
that, beginning October l, 1926, the
registration will be limited to 500
students in the afternoon and eve
ming classes. During the present
year the registration has run to 600.
In addition, starting October !, ar
rangements have been made to give
the 1rst-year courses in the morning,
from 8 to II, in addition to the same
courses which will he given in the
afternoon and evening. Starting the
following year the sophomore morn
ing class will be added and SO on un-
til the full course can be taken either
in the morning or in the afternoon
and evening. recent analysis of
the present registration shows the
school has had an unusually wide ap-
peal, as in its student body at present
are men from every State in the
Union and from % foreign countries.
It's graduates are at present located in
AZ foreign countries holding responsi-
ple positions, representing either gov
ernment or private interests. One of
the results of the location of this un-
usual school in Washington is the
fact that many of the members of for
eign diplomatic corps, stationed in
Washington, take the courses.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o.-Arturo NJ.
Elias, Mexican Consul General In the
United States, replied to the pastoral
letter issued by the American catho-
lie hierarchy attacking the Mexican
government for it's restrictions
aaainst the clergy and the church.
Elias statement contains the fol
lowing paragraphs in which the role
OF the church in Mexico is laid bare:
Religious liberty and tolerance in
deed!
q refer the eminent cardinal and
bishops Of the United States to any
and every pastoral issued by their
colleagues, the archbishops and bish-
ops Of Mexico, at that time, so that
they may note and ponder the invar-

and of others who narrowly escaped

FARMERS LOOKING

(sDeciaI to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON Dec. 20.-The spec
ter of the farmers revolt against the
blockading of legislation designed to
provide farm relief by the old line
party leaders is casting its shadow
over the 1928 presidential campaign.
A movement is now on foot among
the farmers designed to place corn

1928.
Coolidge "5IacklistedD
Coolidge is definitely "blacklisted"
because it is largely thru his activity,
inspired by eastern business men, that
caused the McNary-Haugen bill to be
defeated in the last session of con-
gress. In his presidential message
Coolidge again reiterated his opposi-
ton to any proposal that would give
the farmer relief thru what he called
"price-fxing" or bringing the gov
eminent into business"

Among the presidential aspirants
who are making bid for the farm
ers' support in 1928, realizing that the
farmer is now sufficiently aroused to
make its vote count, are Frank o.
Lowden of Illinois, Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas, Vice-President
Dawes, in the republican party, and
Edwin T. Meredith, former secretary
of agriculture, in the democratic
party.
The men, with the exception of
Dawes, have already publicly cham
pioned the farmers cause, with their

COUNT FELIX Won LUCKNER is
- the guest Of Philadelphia, given
official welcome by the city, after
the manner, on smaller scale, Of
the reception given Queen Marie,
of Roumania. Marie made the first
page of the local press. But the
count gets big space on the inside.
Philadelphia has taken the count
to its bosom in spite Of the fact
that not many years ago, in common
with the 100 per centers of the
whole nation, the jingoes Of the
Quaker City were denouncing the
count and all his kind with all the
vitriolic viciousness that only the
chauvinist mind, dashed to fury dur
ing war time, can achieve.
For the count is German. During
the war he was a sea raider. He
plundered enemy commerce, which
included American shipping. In re-
ward for his exploits he became
known as THE Sea Devil" He is
the type of sea serpent" that Amer
lena movies, magazines and news
papers have held up, in pictures and
story, to the greatest calumny, the
living target of the American Hymn
of Hate"
But that is all supposed to have
passed. Capitalist Germany crushed
the workers struggle for power. APP
plause from Philadelphia and cap
italist America. Capitalist Germany
accepted the Dawes plan. Applause
from Wall Street and Philadelphia.
Germany entered the league of ma
tions. Applause from the interna-
tional bankers and Philadelphia.
Germany elected Won Hindenburg,
the war lord, as president. altho
at the same time millions of votes
went to the Communist presidential
candidate. Applause for linden
burg, victor over the Communists,
from the red-baiters Of America,
including all those in Philadelphia.
And most recent of all, the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, Dec. IA, contained
, the following:
"The smiling, fair-haired sea-
warrior Count Felix Won Luckner)
who captured Is allied ships without
firing a gun or taking life, was
rendered a reception in the mayors
office at noon and brought message
of peace and good will and the graft
tude of the German children for
succor given them by America.
: "Dr. Thomas w. Davis, city
statistician, welcomed the count
and countess in place of Mayor
Kendrick, who was absent from his
office because of a heavy cold"

Chicago assures the national office

than the American profitaeFs trim
med for action. They fed the flames
of the imperialist struggle with
everything it needed, at huge
profit. America thus became an in
strument for increasing the slaught-
er, making millions of children
homeless and fatherless. When the
war debts owing to the international
bankers were endangered by a pos
sible German victory President
Woodrow Wilson, the best president
that Wall Street had ever had up to
that time, plunged this country into
the murder abyss and the blood
letting was renewed on an enlarged
scale for another year and a half.
Any driblets of food that went in
to Germany with the ending of the
war had but one purpose, and that
was to save Germany from going
Bolshevik, which meant freeing the
children from the grip of capital
ism. 1t was Herbert Hoover, the
American food administrator in
Europe in the days following the
war, who gloried in aiding the over
throw Of the neighboring Hungarian
Soviet Republic. The America that
now greets the German count
cheered the overthrow by Fascist
Germany of the Bavarian Soviet Re-
public. Under the Dawes plan the
German workday has been lengthen-
ed, conditions have been worsened
and wages have been reduced, re-
sulting in cutting down of the
standard of living of the German
working class that first hits the chill
dren.
1t As the new generation in Ger
many that has American capitalism
to thank for its continued subjec-
ton to profit rule. 1t is this vic
tory, of capitalism on both sides of
the Rhine, over German labor as
well as labor in all othe countries
except the Soviet Union, that the
Philadelphians officially and quite
consciously celebrate when they
greet THE Sea Devil" The hatreds
of the imperialist war are forgot
ten, but the fear of labor's rise to
power continues. The count is well
coined, but every Communist
speaker who comes to Philadelphia
is faced with possible arrest by an
other reception committee" the
numerous police that attend all
gatherings OF militant workers.
The news of Felix Won Luckner's
reception in Philadelphia should
prove to the youth of Germany that
America" under the rule of Wall
Street is an ally of the capitalist
enemy that they fight at home.
Americas youth cannot help but
come to the same conclusion. A
Soviet America in solidarity with
Soviet Germany are the only safe
guard of the interests of the chill
dren in both countries.
