SUPER-CAPTTALISM
WORRIED BY CHINESE

Washington = (FP)- Super Capi-
tallsm as represented by billiOn-dOl-
lar corporations and trusts with their
financial, productive and political de.
partments, is distinctly worried by
the decisive events of the nast week
in China. Government of nation Of
4OO,OOO,0O0 people has. by revOlu-
tiOnary war and wOrking-class Orga-
nizatiOn, been thrown into the hands
of radical element. defiant of west
ern exploitation. Profitable invest
ments of American capital in China
is doomed. China's revolt has set an
example to all other exploited peoples
In Asia and Africa and in Latin
America. Super-capitalism NAV Be
forced to face its own record at home,
Ill economic and political struggles
with the workers of America, Britain.
France Germany, Italy.
And Mexico
That situation has cast a shadow
over the fine spring days in Wash
ington. 1t has stimulated the pro-
duction of rumors of a sharp change
of policy towards Mexico. The New
York Times adds to the uneasiness
by printing a long and fantastic ac-
count of impending revolt in Mexico
limiting that Coolidge may lift the
embargo on shipment of arms to the
Mexican rebels. Golfers publishes
an article entitled "Mexico's New
Dictator-The Dollar, suggesting
that General Obregon win lead a re-
volt against his friend Gales. 1t al
so asserts that certain American oil
companies, not named, have advanced
S1O,OOO,000 to Gales, as advance
royalties on production, having the
effect of a brlbe. The Peoples Re
construction League, through its di-
rector, Benjamin C. Marsh, has ask
ed Coolidge to investigate these
charges in Golfers article, in view Of
the claim that the story of Obre-
CONS proposed revolt was told 'in
one of the largest financial institu-
tlons in the world, in New York
City.

Presence In Washington of Chas.
Beecher Warren and Charles Evans
Hughes, advisers to Coolidge on Mex
lean oil matters, is thought to be re-
lated to the return of Ambassador
Tellez from Mexico City and the
mystery of his sudden visit to Presi-
dent Gales. Press correspondents
IN both capitals believe that impor-
tant moves are about to be made,
looking toward defining the privi-
ledges of American capital in Mex
leo. The political situation in China
threatening the whole future of CO.
lonlal investments and foreign in
vestments in both hemispheres by
its demand for a civilized wage stan
oard in all backward" countries, is
looked upon as the cause of the pres
ent agitation in Washington.
China's Revolutionary Call
Nationalist China has called upon
all enslaved peoples around the world
to demand better wages, to organize
IN labor unions, to assume political
power. In the State Department the
echoes of this summons are being re-
corded and studied, with special ref
erence to Wall Streets investment

Mexico is being threatened not only
because of her oil and land laws, but
because her labor movement is the
essential power in her government
and this labor influence is raising the
wage standard. Mexico's example IS
creeping through Central America. It
may soon affect South American IN
vests. 1t may cause an anti-Amerl-
can boycott in South America.
All the present furry may be
quieted for while, so far as Mexico
IS concerned, by a compromise on
Mexico S part. If Mexico's govern
ment refuses to compromise, the war
party ir Washington will again be
heard, demanding that bolshevism De
resisted while yet there is time.
Bolshevism, in the dictionary Of the
war party, is working class agitation
which reduces the profit-rate and tne
security of American foreign invest
ments.
