The people of China have suffered from
the unchecked exploitation of capitalist inn

national groups of capitalists have seized
its natural resources, its ports, its railroads
and established its concessions and spheres
of influence in order to make the Chinese
people produce profits for the foreign capt.

been made and renade to suit the interests
of these contending groups of capitalists.

THE ATTACK AGAINST
NICARAGUA.

The sending of American warships to the
waters of Nicaragua and the landing OF
American marines in that country is most
brazen example of the use of the naval and
military forces of this country to help
maintain the exploitation of foreign coun-
tries by the Wall Street interests.
The government, of this country has over
thrown governments elected by the people
of Haiti and Santo Domingo and set up in
these countries puppet governments which
carry out the will of the American bankers.
The Diaz government of Nicaragua, which
Coolidge and Kellogg are aiding against the
Liberal government supported by the people
of Nicaragua, is the tool of the American
bankers who want to keep their control of
the banks, railroads and other resources of
Nicaragua which they are exploiting for
their profit. The Diaz government has no
popular support.
Coolidge and Kellogg express indignation
and threaten Mexico because it is charged
that the Mexican governmentAis aiding the
people OF Nicaragua to establish a govern
nnent which they can support, and then use
the iron fist of the government of this coun-
try to set up Wall Street puppet govern
ment in that country.
The American Warships are in Nicaragua
an waters and American marines on MIC
araguan soil for one purpose onIy-to estab-
lish the rule of American imperialsm-the
Wall Street bankers-in that country. The
fight OF the people of Nicaragua against
this Wall Street Intervention is the fight OF
the American labor.

Real Reason.
The ostensible purpose OF this con.

Nicaragua and maintain Adolfo Dla7

reason for this show of strength is
understood TO be to impress upon the

are getting away in traffic at an
astonishing rate. 1t is fairly safe
to predict that any motorist who

car owners. however, may be ex-
pected to move cautiously, admit.

the methods by which these features
have been obtained.
Three Lines of Thought
Here the investigator will find
that the manufacturers are follow
ing three distinct lines Of thought,
as reflected in as many general
methods of application of high COM
preston. These may be divided into
the ordinary high compression heads
which must be used with antisknock
fuel: the specially designed heads
which will operate with any fuel;
and the special heads which are
built for use with anti-knock fuel.
Any higher compression head may

Two interesting IDEAS are involved
in this method
One of these is turbulence. 1t
was found that the stagnant condi-
ton of the compressed gas in the
conventional engine increased any
tendency Of gas to knock. Also, it
was discovered that turbulence in

the spark came, which was too
late. The first thing to do, then,
was to redesign the shape OF the
head so that gas vapors would be
swirled around while being ignited.

NASH STEERING
BETTERED

Easy. fast" steering, long a
characteristic Of Nash cars. is
even more evident in the II new
models recently introduced.
Nash engineers have concentrated
on overcoming the drag Of low
pressure tires on the road. with
out resorting to the expedient Of
changing the gearings so that the
steering wheel must be turned
through long arc in order to turn
the front wheels.
The Nash front wheels may he
cramped by little more than a
single turn Of the steering wheel.
This has been accomplished at no
sacrifice to easy steering. since IT
requires no more effort than was
needed when old-style high pressure
tires were used
Parking Is said TO be much
easier with the Nash type of steer
ing. Women drivers who hav
piioted the new Nash models are
outspoiSen in their appreciation Of
the easy steering. and they like
also those details Of convenience
SUCH as the ug1t controls IN the
center Of the handsome steering
wheel, the ease and surety with
which the brakes may be applied.
the almost effortless operation of
the clutch. the convenient location
Of the long parking brake lever.
and the grouping of the instrn.
ments. all under glass.
These details of refinement and
Improvement are in keeping with
the usual quality found throughout
Nash construction. and serve to
enhance the enjoyment of the
seyen-bearing crankshaft motor
with which each model is equipped.

There Is nothing new in the
Idea Of high compression In the
then fastest selling car, cylinder
heads, prior to 1917, provided
fifty-five to sixty pounds compress
sion. The old engines used to have
compression so high that 1t took
great courage and strength to
crank them. In those days gas0.
line was volatile and dry. For
the work then required of 1t. there
was reasonable freedom from de-
tonation.
When gasoline started its now
famous decline in equality. motor
car manufacturers were forced to
reduce compression to prevent des.
trllctive engine knocking. The car
herein mentioned presented the ex-
treme situation by lowering COM
preston to IS pounds in the head
adopted in 1917.
A Dual Answer
Since gasoline now is on the
upgrade in quality, why isn't it
possible to raise compression with
out any special cylinder head
design the interested motorist
naturally asks.
He has been examining cross
sections of the various new en-
gines with their newly designed
even patented - cylinder heads.
He wonders why it Is not pos
eible to obtain excellent results
merely by going back to design
abandoned in the eA-rlier DAYS.
His question demands a dual
answer. 1t IS possible to increase
compression without any ingenious
design and provide fine operation
on any of the newer fuels. But
still better results can be obtained
through the use OF specially
designed heads. These NAV or
may not require the assistance Of
anti-knock fuels.
