had so long dodged Cne under-
taker, finally passed in his checks,
no doubt to the great relief of his
loving queen who is now free to
make another American tour in the
interests of talcum powder and hole
proof hosiery without the likelihood
of her adventures being marred by
frantic cables from her spouse as was
her last panhandling visit here. Much
tho our upper and middle classes love
ROYALTY they are still too much un-
der the influence of John J. Rabbits
conception Of connubial propriety and
they did not think it was nice of
Marie to be going around melting
civil war among professional re-
ceivers and greeters who fought for
the honor of touching the hem of her
maiesty's garments.
THE passing of Ferdinand will not
L make particle of difference in
the lives of the Roumanian masses.
The country's affairs are in the hands
of the Bratiano brothers who have
plundered it for several years. The
king was never more than figure
head. Like all the small nations of
Europe and of the world, Roumania
is a puppet Of one Of the big Euro
pean capitalist powers. So much for
the right of self-determination of
which Saint Woodrow spoke. John ID.
Rockefeller has more to say in Rou-
mania than 100000 Roumanians.

FATE reports from the sick bedside
IL of ]. Ogden Armour the hog king,
have it that his illness is due to a.
mistake in going into the wrong can
of pork byeproduct. 1t seems that
there are two kinds of labels for the
Armour canned goods. One is de-
signed to notify the upper classes
that the contents are fit for human
consumption. The other decorates
the cans destined for proletarian use.
Armour probably got home late one
night after sampling some OF those
eclipse cocktails that are now the
the rage in London, and raided the
ice chest, but plundered the servants
fodder instead of the grub destined
for his own aristocratic stQ@ash u

ARTHUR BRISBANE admits that
n the killing of 800 Nicaraguans by
United States bombs puzzles a good
many Americans. Arthur's Ameri-
cans must be very naive. There is
nothing puzzling about it. They were
killed because they were ready to-
fight for the freedom of their coun-
try and since Wall Street, for stra-
tegic as we'll as commercial reasons
wants a government in Nicaragua
that will sneeze whenever Wall
Street takes snuff, hundreds and if
necessary thousands of Nicaraguans
will be killed to make Wall Streets
rule in that country supreme.
THE Geneva naval parley is either
busted up or most of its members
have gone on vacation after few
weeks snarling at one another In
our opinion nothing will come out of
it except more business for the mass
grave diggers and more fresh meat
for the vultures and the sharks. The
British delegates have adjourned to
London to consult their government.
1t is possible that some fake agree
ment may be arrived at to save Cal
vim Coolidge's face and bluff the
masses into believing that those buzz
yards favor peace, but it will be on
paper only.
TATE reports form Vienna indicate
Il that the capitalist government is
wreaking vengeance on the workers
who took part in the great demon
strations last week. The socialists,
true to their treacherous tradition,
agreed to the governments terms un-
conditionally even to calling off the
proposed mass funeral. Just as soon
as the capitalists get the upper hand
they will not indulge in any mock ex-
hibition of forgiveness. They will
use the iron heel and attempt to
crush the workingclass organizations
that proved, despite the handicap of
traitorous leaders that they have the
power to take things into their own
hands in Austria.
EARS. Sun Yat Sen, widow of the
rA late revolutionary leader of China
and founder of the Koumintang,
decided to quit that organization
because of its desertion of the revolu-
ton and it's recent open alliance with
Imperialism. Mrs. Sun will retire
from political activity for the time
being. She has hope in the final VIC
tory Of the revolution, but believes
that it must be a movement of the
workers and peasants and all op-
pressed elements to be of any real
benefit to the Chinese people. She is
quite right.
EVIDENTLY Mrs. Sun does not
u agree with those long distance
fake radicals who blame the Soviet
Union for the division in the ranks
Of the Koumintang. This brave
