WASHINGTON, May 9. (FP).-
Out Of the White House, still ringing
with the jolly report by National
Chairman Butler that the Western
prairies are afire with enthusiasm for
Coolidge, comes a new doctrine Of
international conduct. It is so simple
that it ought to apply equally well to
American politics, such as the trouble
some incidents of Mr.. Frank Smith in
Illinois, and Mr.. Bill Ware in Pennsyl-
vania.
The Hands Up" Policy
This doctrine was stated in con-
nection with the Stimon letter to Gen.
Moncada, military commander of the
Nicaraguan Liberals. It was: The
method by which we get peace in Mic
aragua is not important; the thing
that the public should keep its eye
on is the fact that we get what we go
after, which is pacification.
That is to say, Coolidge sent Slim
son to Nicaragua to tell the Liberals
that the United States government
had decided to conquer them by gum
fire unless they surrendered immedi-
ately. The method did not matter to
the Coolidge administration; the Latin
American republics might protest if
they dared, but probably they would
not dare. Washington demanded in
slant surrender, regardless of inter-
national law and regardless of the
American constitution, which entrusts
the war-making poweylto Congress.
Celebrating Good News
The White House was feeling good
enough to confess its strong-arm pol
icy, because there had been a happy
political breakfast. Butler had been
called upon to tell the guests, inelud-
ing Sen. Borah and Speaker Nick
Longworth, how Butler had found the
party clamoring for four more years
Of Coolidge, when Butler went into the
West to inquire.
Longworth grinned and passed his
plate for some more sausage, while
Borah laid away a second cup of cof-
fec. Neither of these possible candi-
dates disputed Buffers romance.
Someone said afterward that the
breakfast party renominated Cal by
reclamation. Later in the day the
White House let the hungry press

Great preparations are being made
for the Defense Bazaar to be held in
the Star Casino, May 12-13-14-15.
The Bazaar must be given attention
by all workers organizations, indi-
viduals and storekeepers.
The names of new organizations
that have decided to participate in
the Bazaar are reaching the office
daily while packages are constantly
being received from friends. Not only
is the work being done in New York,
but the Bazaar is attracting attention
in all parts of the country as we'll as
Canada, from where articles have
already been received.
Thanks to the devoted work Of
large groups Of workers, It will be
possible to sell all sorts Of merchan-
die at half price.
Vegetarian Club Restaurant.
A meeting Of the Vegetarian Club
will be held next Tuesday, 81 e. 10th
Street. Arrangements will be made
to organize a vegetarian restaurant
at the Bazaar. The meeting will be
opened with a lecture on the relation
Of vegetarianism to the class struggle.

million are total loss lapses.
These big-hearted companies adver-
tise the fact that they pay all claims
and endowments in full-when they
mature. But your chances are 10 to 1
Of it happening And when an endow-
ment policy does mature You get your
money back-without interest.
In view of the fact that weekly pay
ment policies do not have a cash re-
demption value until they have been
in force for ten years. and, as most of
these policies lapse before they have
been in force three years, all money
which has been deposited by the erst-
while policyholder is irretrievably lost.
Conservatively estimated the "Big
-Four" made upwards Of fifty million
dollars last year on lapsed policies
alone. What happens to this money?
Who Gets It?
These companies are so-called mu-
tual companies; all money earned is
to be turned back to the policyholders,
yet in the various reports written by
these companies for the Superinten-
dent of Insurance not word is men
toned about the money made on
lapses-and the Superintendent never
thinks of asking about it.
In the face Of these figures the
croakings Of the "Big Four" about
thrift is an enormous joke.
But nothing to laugh about

Nothing less! The workers from
the gentle Mr.. Beckerman's Amalga-

by them, there will be great deal of
clothes made by individuals. All suits
and topcoats viii be altered to fit,
right at the Bazaar, where a complete
tailoring outfit including a machine
