BY S A. GARLIN.


The February issue of "The New
Masses" is practically an "oiP' num-
Der. The daring exploits of the
American capitalist imperiahsts in
the Caribbean area are described with
much gusto by Scott Nearing, with
the active assistance of several Of the
cartoonists of the magazine.
In an article entitled, 'Uncle Sam
Buccaneer'" Nearing, in his custom
airy crisp manner, tells some Of the
reasons that make it necessary for
the Coolidge administration to have
is warships and several hundred u.
S. marines in Nicaragua.
"Uncle Sam needs another canal
across the Isthmus. The Panama
Canal is getting crowded and besides,
in time of war its locks and slides
are indefensible against an attack
from the air.
Nicaragua has the only alterna-
tive route, thru the San Juan River
and Lake Nicaragua. TO be sure,
Costa Rico claims voice in the mat
ter as the San Juan River borders
that country. But Costa Rico will be
dealt with later"
The role of Adolpho Diaz as
petty henchman of American busi-
ness interests is explained by Near
ing in this article, who points out
that the present "head" of the gov
eminent was a clerk in the office of
an American corporation operating in
Nicaragua when he advanced 100000
to finance revolution that was sup
ported, recognized and defended by
the U. S. State Department.
In another article on the present
situation in Mexico, Nearing puts
down all the current troubles of the
Mexican people to the discovery of
oil in that republic in 1863.
IF the keeping of the Mexican oil
fields costs few rivulets of working
class blood-well, at any rate, Stand
ard will have the oil-and oil is
thicker than blood any day"
John b. Chapple, who shows an in
timacy with the struggle of the Amer
lean farmers, writes in this issue on
their growing disgust with petty re-
forms on the one hand, and patroniz-
ing Scientific agrieulturalists" on
the other.
Declaring that "the dirt farmers
are hungry" the writer says that
they are being driven off the farms
throughout the United States.
Their costs are going up and their
receipts down. Taxes and mortgages
have them helpless. Insurance COM
panies are cancelling policies, because
the value of farms has dropped be-
low what the buildings were insured
for a few years ago, and the COM
panies fear the temptation to set the
buildings on fire is too great"

 25th Birthday Of Flying LINDBERGH IN ADDRESS
President Recommends Civil Avia-

Washington, Dec. 9 P}-An inter- national civil aviation conference in Washington next December was urged today by President Coolidge in a letter addressed to the civil aeronautical conference now in ses- sion here.
 Next December will witness the 25th anniversary of the first flight by man in a power-driven heavier than-air machine" President Cool idge's letter said.
 Tt was made by Mir. Orville Wright. one of our fellow citizens who is still living and actively inter- ested in it's further application for commercial purposes.
 "I have had in mind that this i'm portant anniversary might be prop erly celebrated by holding here on Monday an international civil avia- ton conference and exhibition in conjunction with your annual meet ing.
 Should thi. be found practicable it's success could in large measure depend upon your cooperation which I am confident can be relied upon"
 Lindbergh Makes Address
 plea that the department Of commerce undertake in future the inspection of all airplanes and issue regulations covering pilot require- ments and other guarantees of safe ty in flying was made by Colonel Lindbergh in short address to the conference today.
 Speed and carrying capacity are of great importance in competing with other forms Of transportation" he said, "but without safety and re- liability aviation can never attain it's rightful position in world con- merce."
 Modern planes, Lindbergh contin- ued, show now only that flying is practicable, but that in the hands of skilled pilots the casualties are lower than in any other form of transportation.
 This industry. however, "can nev- CT become truly great until 1t has the full confidence of the public" he said, adding that in order to gain that confidence i've must as- sure the user of aircraft of both re- liable equipment and experienced personnel for its operation.
 Tt is not possible for the layman to decide which planes are safe or whether their personnel is skilled" he said.

Washington, Dec. 9 tPl - The move 10 obtain funds to elevate the large guns on American battleships to give them a firing range equal to that of ships of any other na- ton was initiated today in the house.
 The question is tied up with the Washington arms conference treaties and opponents of the elevation pro- gram have asserted the United States would violate the spirit of it's agreement should the plan be car- ried through.
 Representative Ninson, democrat, Georgia, initiated the discussion to- day with suggestion designed 10 separate the treaty question from the question Of appropriating funds for the work.
 Ninson would appropriate money for elevation with the provision that the funds should not be ex- pended if such expenditure violated the spirit of the treaty. The final decision wolud be left to the presi- dent.

DEBRIS CL0GGING PIPES
 CAUSED MIRING OF CARS
Sewer Dept. Explains Carlton Street Trouble-No Action by Claims
 Committee.

The cause of the miring of auto mobiles on Carlton street during the heavy rain storm on the night of November was the failure of the 24-inch pipe in the Seneca street Sluiceway to carry off the surplus water according to Superintendent M. r. OBrien of the sewer depart committee of the common council last night by request of the com- mittee. there being three claims pending on account of the expense to which motorists were put to have their cars eXtricated by wreckers. Pending receipt of a bill from At- torney $. Polk Waskowitz of Hart ford, who is one of the claimants. the committee did not act on any of the claims and will not report on them at the December council meeting.
 The sewer department had f1n- ished the installation of two sewer lines in Carlton street abou' two days prior to the storm, according to Superintendent O'Brien, and the ditches had been properly filled in, making the street safe for travel A great quantity of driftwood and leaves accumulated at the mouth of the 24-inch pipe on Senaca street. and the water was thus prevented from flowing into the pipe. with the result that it assumed the propor- tions of miniature flood. pouring into Carlton street and causing the ditches to soften. The automobiles. striking the freshly filled places. sunk so deeply that they could no, be driven away on their own power.
 According to Superintendent O'Brien, there would have been heavy damage to houses on Carlton street because of the flood, had not he and workman spent the night locating the mouth of the Seneca street pipe and removing the ob- structiOn. Had it not been for the blocking of the pipe, the excess water would have been carried off. he said, and the Carlton street ditches would have withstood the traffic.
