STUDENTS SHOW
OPPOSITION TO
WAR EDUCATION
Imperialism of u. S. Al
so Played

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. S.-Only
the invoking Of precedent that 1t is
against the policy Of the national stu
dent conference to pass resolutions
prevented the passing of a resolution
condemning compulsory military train
ing In the colleges of the United
States by an overwhelming vote. The
resolution was not passed, but there
was no mistake about the attitude Of
the 1000 students who attended the
conference here. They are against
military training in the colleges.
Score U. S. MiIitarlsm.
The guns Of Young America, as rep
resented by the delegates, were
trained on American Imperialism at
the conference as well as at military
training. A resolution condemning the
U. S. governments imperialism was
introduced and warmly supported,
but was not passed for the same rea-
son as the military training resolve.
Fight Progress.
Progress is being made to gain the
abolition Of the training in the col
leges, Roswell Barnes and Prof
George Coe of the committee on mill
tarism in education, told the students

lists is now cut to 81, they reported.
A fight is being conducted, they said.
with chances for victory in Minneso-
ia, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, where
military training exists in its worst
form.
The students were warned of pos
sible war with Japan by Japanese
student, Susum Kobe, who declared
that anti-American feeling is strong
in Japan because of the U. s. immi-
grafton laws.
Turn to Sex.
Turning from militarism and i'm
perialism, the students launched into
a discussion of the sex problem"
DIR. Edith H. Swift, lecturer on So
cial hygiene, told the students that
Compulsory postponement of sex
qualification until after marriage adds
to happiness and prepares the envir-
onment into which children come in
to the world" She said that when 'isex
qualifications can come from any cor
ner and is easy to obtain there is no
spiritual or sentimental element"

RISE OF FRANC BRINGS
FRANCE TO FACE GREAT
NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED

PARASITIC year 1925 came in
with the fear of a fIounderine franc
in the hearts of the French people;
it goes out with the specter of I'M
employment rising before them.
The rise Of the franc has left
many manufacturers with large
stocks Of raw material bought when
the franc stood at $50 to 200 to the
British pound. Importers are like
wise stocked with goods bought
with cheap money. They cannot
sell without loss and so far have
resisted the advice to swallow the
loss and 90 on.
Against the official figures Of 3d.
600 unemployed. the radicals place
the number as 100000.

Sormenti Protest
Meeting Postponed

Due to a number of legal complica-
lions in connection with his case,
Enea Sormenti, who is under bond
awaiting decision on deportation
charge, has been obliged to return to
New York City and to postpone the
meetings which were planned for him
in the course of his tour.
Among these meetings was the one
scheduled in Chicago for Thursday,
January 6, at the West Side Auditori-
UNI, under auspices of the lnterna-
tional Labor Defense and Anti-Fas-
cist Alliance of Chicago. Because OF
the latest development in the tour,
the meeting has been indefinitely
postponed.
This holds for the Chicago meeting,
since in some of the other cities
where Sormenti meetings had been
arranged, they will be held with 9th
er noted Italian and English speak
ers. Workers are urged to attend
these meetings wherever held so that
they may add their voice of protest
against the plans Of the American au-
thorities to deport Sormenti to Italy,
where certain Imprisonment, and pos
sibly execution, awaits him at the
hands of the bloodthirsty fascist.

Tax SHIFT Aids Foreign AsuressIons.


WASHINGTON Untaxing OF the
wealthy and shifting of the cost of
war to the wage earners, farmers and
small salaried people has favored for
eign concession-hunting and aggres-
sions abroad, says Benz. G. Marsh, Sc
cretary Of the Peoples Reconstruc-
ton League, in a New Year review of
tax shifting:
In 1919, he finds, persons whose net
incomes were over $4,000 paid
federal income taxes OF S729,444, 900,
while in 1924 this class, altho its to-
tai net income was Is per cent more
than in 1919, paid only S440.35S, 900 in
income taxes. The surplus sought in
vestment, and this means an annual
addition OF about 750,000,000 to the
pressure for American domination of
weaker countries

/ Columbia Has Grievance.
Columbia has never thought she re-
ceived a square deal in the treaty
which made financial adjustment for
the building of the Panama Canal.
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Salvador,
the Dominican Republic, Guatemala,
all have felt the weight Of North
Americas financial or naval power
in one way or another in the last
quarter century.
Latin-America has seen the gradual
encroachment of North American
power and dominance into the south
year by year. 1t has seen Cuba, Porto
Rico. Panama, Haiti become virtual
United States dependencies, with in
dications now that Nicaragua may go
the same way.
The picture is not a pleasing one
to those Latin diplomats who have
dreams of a great Spanish-speaking
union in the western hemisphere.
Three recent events have now COM
bined to bring the agitation to head,
according to we'll informed sources
here.
They are:
% The controversy with Mexico,
in which the United States challenges
the right Of Mexico to enact her own
alien land laws.
(2) The Nicaraguan situation, in
which the state department elevated
Adolfo Diaz to the presidency and
then sent warships and marines to
lend him moral, if not actual, support.
Diaz is a favorite with the American
state department of many years
standing.
Panama Is Vassal State.
(3) The recently concluded Pan
ANA treaty, whereby Panama pledges
herself to consider herself automati-
cally at war with any power against
which the United States goes to war.
This treaty, which reduces Panama
almost to the status of vassal state,
has been savagely criticized by the
press Of South America.
There is no doubt that President
Gales Of Mexico has been and is
prime mover in the agitation for a
Spanish-speaking bloc to resist the
creeping United States dominance to
the south.
The Mexican government now has
as one of its activities It's own wire
less news service into the Caribbean
countries, thru which daily goes what
the state department characterizes as
radical propaganda" but which
friends of Mexico say is merely
"Latin-American views and news"
Protest Flourlshes.
Where the present movement for
greater Latin-American unity will
end no one in Washington can or will
predict. It is admitted, however, that
it is stronger than 1t has ever been,
better directed and better financed,
and, for the time being, iourishing.
1t is recognition of these facts here
that is held responsible for the
"softening" of the state departments
policy in Nicaragua, which was some
what brusque at first, and for the ex-
IRENE caution with which the depart
ment is proceeding in it's dealings with
Mexico in the land laws controversy.

New Victories for Revolution.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 3. -
Liberal forces Of DR.. Sacasa's govern
ment annihilated the Diaz armies in a
battle at Telica on the west coast OF
Nicaragua and are now within 10
miles OF Managua, capital of the con-
sentative government"
Defeat OF the Diaz troops at Telica
places the liberals in a strategic posi-
ton for their march on Managua. The
capture of Leon, which is only short
distance from Telica, is expected
momentarily. Leon is the transporta'
ton center of all railroads leading in.
to Managua and its capture means
that Managua will be cut off from out
side communication, making its cap
ture Comparatively certain.
Reports on the battle at Telica are
meager, but it is indicated that many
Diaz soldiers were made prisoners
and much war material was seized by
the liberals. Some 500 liberal soldiers
took part in the battle.
Diaz Walls About Mexico.
President Diaz has issued a state
ment addressed to the American and
foreign public in which he again
makes the charge that Mexico is CIV
ing aid to the liberals and asks that
the United States take steps to rid
Central America of the Mexican
menace"
Diaz said that the present conflict
is one "between his government and
Mexico" "The future of Nicaragua
and eventually of all Central Amer
ica,9 he said, 'is at stake in the pres
emit conflict between my government
and the Gales government Of Mexico"
He then launched into his usual at
tack on Mexico, calling the govern
ment there poisonous, anti-foreign
and Bolsheyist"
