LONDON. May 31,-Tripe is coming
up in the world. Dishes of this once
humble food have become all the rage
in fashionable London since it became
known that the Prince of Wales is

favorite dish of Louis XIV.
Dickens wrote about tripe and
onions, and Mr.. Pickwick greatly en-.
joyed it. While tripe is not particu-

COOLIDGE SAYS
NOTHING ABOUT
FIvE-DAY week
Hears Green Explain 1t
Doesn't HF~an Much

WASHINGTU >. - President
Coolidge, after talking over with
President Green and Secretary Nor
rison of the American Federation of
Labor the question of the five-day
week in industry, has decided to
evade any statement on that subject.
That is why his mythical spokes-
man, when asked where he stands, re-
piled that Coolidge has mot studied"
it enough to give a worthwhile opin-
ion as to its effect on the welfare Of
working people.
He will, he says, be interested to
see how it works out in the Ford
plants, although he realizes that the
Ford industry is peculiarly circum-
stanced, and that any results obtained
for the shorter work-week in Ford
factories may be no guide for other
industries.
In short, Coolidge will not commit
himself, in a time Of industrial calm,
to a proposal that may become the
crux of strike six months or year
hence.

U. S, is HEADED
FOR VIOLATION OF
WASHINGTON PACT
Flaunts Independence
Of Chinese Nation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (FP).-
Navy department chiefs announce
that the 1900 marines now crossing
the Pacific on the transport Chau-
mont will be sent direct to Shanghai
since the Nationalist armies are
threatening to take that richest port
of China.
If American marines follow the
British in landing in Shanghai, under
pretext of protecting American lives
and property, they will do so in di-
rect violation of the Washington
treaty of February 1922 which was
signed by the representatives of the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan, Holland and Portugal,
and by the Chinese. 1t is the social
ed guaranty of Chinese territory.
Article | Of the treaty reads: "The
Contracting Powers, other than China
agree
I'D To respect the sovereignty,
the independence, and the territorial
and administrative integrity of China.
"(2) To provide the fullest and
most unembarrassed opportunity to
China to develop and maintain for
herself an effective and stable gov
eminent.
"(3) TO use their influence for the
purpose of effectually establishing
and maintaining the principle of
equality of opportunity for the com
meree and industry Of all nations
throughout the territory Of China.
go To refrain from taking adj
vantage of conditions in China in or
der to seek special rights or privi-
leges which would abridge the rights
Of subjects or citizens Of friendly
states, and from countenancing ac-
ton inimical to the security of such
states"
The British have already torn up
this treaty by landing troops in
Shanghai thereby violating their
pledge to Prospect the sovereignty
of China at that port. President
Coolidge appears on the way to 1ol-
low their example. Foreseeing this,
the Chinese delegation at Geneva has
protested to the League of Nations
against the British action. 1t men,
tions both the Washington treaty and
Art. 10 of the League Protocol. That
article requires that when one nation
brings armed forces into the territory
of League nation against the will
of the latter. all other League ma
tons shall, ipso facto, be ar war
with the invader. In other words, all
League nations are now bound to be
at war with Great Britain.
What China is showing at Geneva
is that the League pledges are as
hypocritical and worthless as are the
treaty pledges of the United States
or Britain, when the big empires
want to overawe a revolutionary
movement of backward" cheap-labor
peoples.

Titles to Land.
American Investments in Mexico are
not worth such a war of conquest Of
that country as would be required.
But if Mexico were to be invaded,
the Gales government, and a puppet
government set, as has been done in
Nicaragua and Haiti, the American
corporations might be granted title
to billions in land, minerals, forests,
power sites and other wealth of the
nation. What Porfirio Diaz did in
a small way, when Americans had
not discovered the riches of Mexico,
might be done wholesale by a plant
successor.
That is the stake in the game for
overthrow of Gales and the Mexican
constitution of 1917. Military occu-
patton of Central America by the
United States would encourage every
attempt to pull down the Gales re-
gime.
