HERE we are again celebrating ouI
IL third anniversary and as cpnfl
dent of celebrating another as We
were of celebrating the second. We
are not INDUCING in an idle boast be
cause we have survived during years
that have seen labor publications ga.
lore stagger back into the pulp mills
What We intend to do on this third
anniversary of The DAILY WORKER
is to call the attention of the working
GLASS as vigorously and as earnestly
as we possibly can to cause which
The DAILY has battled since it was
founded, in addition to others. But
this one is the most pressing. 1t is
the cause of Sacco and Vanzetti who
sitSwith the sword of capitalist injus.
tice hanging over their heads.
THIS story has often been told. But
L 1t must be told as long as their
lives are in danger. That will be the
case until the jail doors open for
them and they are again free, at least
as free as workers can be under this
rotten system of ours. Sacco and
Vanzetti are the victims of as foul q
crime as was ever perpetrated on
members of the American working
class in country famous for frame
ups. 1t is the task of the American
workers to set them free. 1t is in
their power to do it. Once they real.
ize this we are sure they will con.
slider no sacrifice too great to force
the hands of the Massachusetts Jail
ers. The details of this frame-up are

Liberals Cut Of.
The situation for the liberals, 1t is
reported, here is becoming very diff
cult. They are cut OF from food and
munitions entirely and are unable to
follow up their victories over the Diaz
forces that brot them to the gates of
the capital last week. The transport
Argonne is said to have landed five
hundred more troops at Bluetields.
While these offensive operations OF
the U. S. military in Nicaragua are go
ing on, Mexico is expressing its deter
mination to defend it's independence.
The message, signed by Aaron Sanez,
Mexican minister of foreign affairs
and released thru the Mexican embas-
sy here, does not deny that arms were
supplied to the Sacasa government of
Nicaragua from Mexico. He declar-
ed that the Central American conven-
ton of 1928 gives Mexico the right to
recognize Sacasa. So far as the con
fiscation" charges with regard to
American oil property in Mexico is
concerned, the minister said that
Mexico proposed no such action and
that every American was entitled at
any time to appeal his case to the
mixed-claims committee sitting in

TAX HEARING ON
FORD STOCK SALE
| REVEALS PROFITS
Investment of $48, 900
Brings $4,000, 900
Especial to The Daily worksr)

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 12.-Stagger-
ing profits of the Ford Motor COM
pany were revealed in the opening of
the huge tax appeal case in which
the government seeks to collect 1884,
100000 from Sen. James Couzens and
other former stockholders of the Ford
company. Joseph E. Davies, former
sion, now a defense attorney, gave
facts showing how Ford piled profits
upon profits in an almost unending
pyramid.
500 Brings $4,000 in 10 years.
One hundred dollars invested in the
Ford company at the time of it's or
ganization in 1903 earned $52,174 in
10 years, Davies revealed.
'In 10 years, with an initial invest
ment Of but $4,000 in actual cash,
the Ford company had paid $4,000
900 in dividends and had amassed
S22,O0O,0O0 in property" Davies de-
clared. "In 1904, the company made
$500, 900. By 1907, those earnings had
increased five fold and were S1,011,-
900. Within two years these earning
had been doubled and were $2,600,00O
Within three years these earnings
were again multiplied five times and
were S13,000,000 for the year. In an
other year, they were again doubled
and amounted to $26,000,000.
Surplus Tremendous.
"The growth of the company's sur
plus was no less remarkable. Starting
with surplus of $1S3,0O0 in 1904, in
three years its surplus had reached
$1,S77,000. Three years later, it had
reached $3,366,000. Within two more
years or in 1912 the surplus was S14,-
$4,000. On March /, 1913, 1t had
increased to $4,000, OOO."
Claim Tax Too High
The startling earnings were reveal
ed by Davies in outlining the position
taken by the former stockholders.
Senator Couzens and his co-defend-
ants dispute claims OF the govern

Washington.
Ridcule Mexican War Charges.
The statement ridicules the sugges-
ton that Mexico wishes to face the
United States in a military way, but
is emphatic in its declaration that
Mexico is prepared to go to any
length to preserve its independence
against all aggressors.
For three hours today. Secretary of
State Kellogg labored behind closed
doors with the senate foreign rela-
lions committee, endeayoring to con-
vince its members that the admins
tration's "big stick" policy in Cen
trail America is justified by the trend
Of events there.
Failed to Move Opposition.
At the conclusion of his three-hour
argument, it was apparent that he
had failed to convert those who have
strenuously opposed the intervention
in Nicaragua's civil war, for oppon-
ents of the administration policy
left the session declaring their opin-
ions unchanged.
Senator Borah (R) of Idaho, chair
man of the committee and one of the
most persistent critics of the dis
patch of warships and marines to the
Caribbean, declined to say anything
after the session.

uation," said Senator Shipstead (FL)
of Minnesota who opposed interven-
ton, land my opinion is unchanged.
The facts as revealed in my opinion

Communists in the United States
have been repeatedly instructed to
devote special attention to the
struggle against American imperial

organization of resistance to the

movement in the new wSrld."
To Cover Up Latin Reseh >nent.
This statement was plainly 1aada
