LATIN AMERICAN
MASONS APPEAL
AGAINST KELLOGG

MEXICO CITY, June 23.-An APP
peal to all Masons issued by Mas
onic Lodge "Accion" No. 81, of the
obedience of the Grand Lodge "Valle
de Mexico" Of AA. and AA. S. R., at
Mexico City, states:
Before the unprecedented attack
from President Coolidge, who has
sent Henry Stimson as special COM
missioner at Nicaragua, instructed to
submit the constitutional government
of that republic, by means Of strength
or subornation and thus imposing the
betrayer Adolfo Diaz as a president,
all Latin-American governments
whose neutrality is the cause of the
preparation Of such an horrid crime,
must unite themselves in order to i'm
pede the triumph of force over right
and thereby erect a barrier to Wall
Street imperialism, whose Unsuitable
covetousness is sacrificing whole
people.
The blood sprinkling the land of
Nicaragua by order of Coolidge. dis
honors not only the name of the
worst enemy of our race, but also the
state chiefs of Latin-American coun-
tries who, contracting the popular
WILL clearly exposed by means of the
press and the very many meetings
against American policy in our in
ternal affairs, have abandoned to
their own risk our weak sister pressed
by the herculean arms of the monster.
The lodge "Accion" No. 81, accom-
plishing the original purpose Of our
order, lie, the Defense of Liberty,
unites its protest to that of Nicara-
guam people lawfully represented by
DR.. J. B. Sacasa, Constitutional presi-
dent, against the misuse Of force exc
cuted by the NEST powerful nation,
misuse that brings his dishonor, and
appeals to the fraternity as we'll as
to the world for the. support of the
handful Of braves preferring death to
dishonor.
Coolidge, knowing the triumphal
career of the liberal ranks winning
against the betrayer Diaz, a servant
of the American oilmen, decided to
intervene openly, using firstly the
subordtnation by offering derisive
amounts of money for the weapons
conquered and sustained with the
blood of the Liberals, or, when he has
failed in such criminal intrigue, by
determination Of the Liberal troops.
These old policies Of American I'M
perialism, melted the Philippines,
Portor Rico, Santo Domingo, ETC., are
vet being employed TO abolish the
liberty and independence of all Latin
American nations-and they are try
ing too in China--and they will sue
coed If the interested peoples don't
warn themselves and end their policy
of isolation. The Mexican govern
ment, born from the Mexican revolu-
ton, has sustained the right of peo-
pies to elect their own governments
without the interference Of any for
eign influence.
This attitude must be an example
for all American rulers If they wish
to save their historical responsibility
and maintain immutable the sover-
eighty and dignity Of the nations for
whose guidance they have been trust
ed.
We make a new and vigorous APP
peal to all peoples, to all Latin-Amer-
lean governments and by special call
TO all brothers and to all workers Of
the world, for the help Of that suffer-
ing and brave people Of Nicaragua,
impeding by all means the consumma-
tion Of the assassination Of Indo-
American race liberty.
Mexico, May 18th, 1927.
