MEXICAN LABOR
 ANSWERS KELLOGG
Secy. TreYino Denies ComInu-
 niStiC Tendencies

Mexico City, Jan. 14.-LP}| Denial that Mexican labor is communistic is made by Ricardo Trevino. secretary general of the regional confederation Of labor Mexico's dominant labor organization, in a telegram to Amer ican Secretary of State Kellogg.
 Trevino was one of those quoted by Secretary Kellogg in the latter's statement to the American senate's foreign relations committee concern ing communistic activities in Mexico
 The telegram of Trevino says it is strange that MT. Kellogg did not in- clude in his statement any of the resolutions adopted by Mexican labor conventions or the Pan Amer ican federation of labor, with which the regional confederation is affili- ated, opposing communism. The re- sional confederation, he asserts, has always taken a stand against bolshe- Nism since it's first convention in 1919.
 Senor Trevino also voices regret that MT. Kellogg, as he alleges. mis- quoted him. Secretary Kellogg quoted Trevino as declaring In the Mexican chamber of deputies in Sep tember, 1925: T cannot say which are the better elements, whether ours or the reds or those whom the Russian minister brought. And on this point must say that there are documents in which it is esta ablished that certain red and communist ele- ments receive money from the said minister and from the communists at Moscow in order to work along com munist lines in Mexico against the United States whereby they would provoke an international conflict).
 He refers the American secretary International in Moscow, which he says were adopted in 1919 and 1921 and repeated annually since, by which the militant communists were bound to fight the Mexican labor movement and the Mexican govern ments presided over by General Obregon and Senor Gales because of their hostility toward communism.
 The Mexican labor chief claims knowledge that Secretary Kellogg has 'irrefutable proofs'' that the Mexican government and Mexican laboring classes are not moved by communist influences from Rus sia and the United States"
 He adds that the bolshevist revo- lution in Russia started the same year, G91D as the adoption of the Mexican constitution upon which the present Mexican administration is based.
 Trevino alleges that communist propaganda Is brought to Mexico mainly by American born citizens, some of whom are agents proyoca- tdurs."

General Convicted by Greek
 Government Commission

Athens, Greece. Oct. 27 Rs-- General Theodorus Pangalos, former Greek dictator, has been found guilty of high treason by commis- sion appointed by the government to inquire into his activities. He will not be placed on trial, however, for two months.
 General Pangalos was overthrown by General George Kondylis the present premier, in a coup detat in August, 1926 while Pangalos was enjoying a holiday at a fashionable seaside resort on the Island of Spetsae. He was arrested and brought to Athens on August 23, 1926. Geenral kondylis at that time declared Pangolas would be held to strict accountability for the regime of tyranny of the last eight months "
 Pangalos was incarcerated in a Greek fortress. In August, 1927, a parliamentary committee was ap- pointed to inquire into his seizure of power in 1925. It was provided that it's findings were to be referred to parliament which would examine the question of culpability before giving a decision, After this was made known a special court of 90 members of parliament would be convoked for a public trial.
 Mime. Pangalos was released OC- tober after an examination into an alleged plot against the present gov ernment in favor of her husband.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lin debt
to Wall Street for $4,30O,000,00O, the
nations of Latin America writhe in
debtors tolls and their labors to free
themselves from the grip of Yankee
imperialism tend more and more to
fasten world attention on the score
of more or less independent republics
south Of the Rio Grande.
Monroe Doctrine Questioned.
Washington fairly snarled when
Enrique Villegas of Chile, president
Of the council of the League of Ma
tions declared that there is no good
reason why the League should not
interest itself in problems arising be-
tween the American governments.
Villegas boldly cut through the Mon
roe Doctrine with that statement be-
fore the only body in the world rep
resenting the joint interests of Amer
ica's debtors and probably foreshad-
owed the development Of the League
into the center of anti-American in
fluence both on the American CONT
nent and in Europe and Asia In eff
feet, Villegas, speaking from the
presidential desk Of the League coun-
Gil, openly flouted the United States
governments insistence that Euro
pean nations look the other way while
it browbeats smaller American coun-
tries unable to resist.
The Indo-Latins, from ruling bust
ness classes down to the most prop
ertyless peasant, know that British,
French, German and Italian imperial
ism is no better than the brand main
tanned by Secretary Kellogg, but they
do see some hope in setting the com
peting world powers to clashing over
Latin American exploitation. That is
exactly the contingency which the
state department wishes to avoid. 1t
hopes to keep European influence, as
represented in the League Of Nations,
out of ] . in America so that there
can be no possible appeal from the
superior force of the dominant Yam
KEGS.
Panama Crushed.
A case in point is the treaty the
United States is forcing on Panama,
tearing away every vestige of indie
pendence from the isthmian republic.
Panama threatens to appeal to the
League but the state department is
sternly forbidding such procedure and
insisting that Panama sign on the
dotted line or pass into the category
of marine-ruled countries like Haiti
and Nicaragua.

EIGHTH ASSEMBLY

See Hand of American

GENEVA, Sept. 1.-THE cabals
and intrigues going on behind the
scenes here indicate a definite rift
between the great powers. Poland,
which discussed with some of the
other nations the general question of
disarmament withdrew her first pro-
posal and has another ready to sub
init. 1t is understood that this one
is more drastic than the first and is
is said to be absolutely unacceptable
to the other powers. In certain cir
cles statesmen and political journal
lists claim to see the hand of Ameri-
can imperialism, which they charge
is backing Poland and urging her to
make such proposals as will be re-
fused, Drastic disarmament propos-
ais will be defeated but that will en-
able the enemies of the league to
carry on a world wide campaign to
the effect that it has collapsed.
See Evidence of World Fight.
Britain has been using the league
for its own ends during the past two
years and its dominance frequently
interferes with plans of the American
bankers. 1t is felt here that the
American capitalist government, in
censed at the complete failure of its
own naval arms conference which
ended so disastrously, is playing GER
tain small nations against the league
itself.
Vandervelde On the job.
Emil Vandervelde, hero of the So
cialist international, flunkey of AL
bert the king of the Belgians and
social traitor, is there as the foreign
minister of the capitalist government
Of his own country and has promised
to support a second proposition of
the small nations, that of the Holland
delegation which wants to revise the
trilogy of arbitration, security and
disarmament approved at the fifth
assembly of the league and known
as the Geneva protocol" Wander
velde favors plan whereby the at
tackled nation will be able to receive
heavy loans from the big powers to
enable it to purchase the necessary
means with which to carry on war
This same plan is also approved by
the British tory foreign minister,
Sir Austin Chamberlain.
For the most part the real confer
ence is concealed from the press and
the dirty work of the secret diplo-
mats proceeds without publicity, be-
cause they dare not face the light Of

In the Iron Trades.

Friday, July LIST, 1927, was red
letter day for the workers Of Aus
tralia because on that day Judge
Beeby brushed aside all hypocritical
humbug and exposed the Federal Ar
bitration Court as weapon for the
employing class, This was done per
mediuh of the award delivered in the
Engineers case, The award provides
foF piece-work, dilutionA of labor,
daily hiring, and overtime at ordinary
'Astes of pay. Although this forty
ar hour week is granted many
:.ge and important undertakings are
exempted, and this concess ion-twhich
has been practically won on the in
dustrial field-does not by any means
compensate for the rest of the award.
The award caused great congterna-
ton among the arbitration advocates
who gave voice to walls about the
unfairness of it; but the more intelli-
gent section of the worl1ing-class,
knowing full we'll the function of ar
bitration courts, Immediately set to
work to organize the workers to
withstand the attack on conditions
that had been fought for, and won, in
the past. They realized that the time
had arrived for action, and that talk
ing had proved to be worthless; that
if the iron trades workers were beat
en- tn crest Of the workers would be
defeated in due course.
