BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Janu-
ary 22.-The Communist party in Ar
gentina has received an invitation to
join a worldwide Communist cam
paign against the United States. and
the feverish activity shown this week
indicates that the invitation has been
accepted.
Formerly the Communists kept
their identity submerged, while taking
part in the agitation sponsored by
other organizations, but now they
have openly called big mass meet
ing for tonight in the plaza to pro-
test against the United States.
Whole City PIacarded.
huge posters with the words, THE
United States in Nicaragua and Mex
leo" in brilliant red letters. These
posters attracted attention half q
block away. The space between the
three red lines is filed with intlanma-
tory denunciation Of the American
Governments policy in Nicaragua and
Mexico.
The principal speaker at tonight's
meeting viii be the councillor who
last Saturday announced the receipt
of Moscow's invitation to join in a
world dwide anti-American campaign.
The posters are signed Communist
Party" The newspapers announce
the call for the meeting under the
patronage of the Communist party,
while editorially they ridicuIe Secre-
tary of State Kellogg's allegations of
Communist activities in Latin-Amer-
lea.
Last night, the Communist party
conducted a memorial service on the
third anniversary of Lenin's death,
which was intended to rally their
sympathiZers.
Mexican Minister Assails u. S.
An unusual development this week
was a full page interview with the
Mexican Minister In e newspaper
which has led in the agitations for
Argentina recognition of the Soviets.
The Minister denounced the United
States in anything but diplomatic
language, declaring that Mr.. Kellogg
does not represent American culture
or thought. He said that the uni
versal protest against the absurd"
policy of the United States has shown
that the long-dreamed of Spanish
American League has advanced until
lSpanish-American solidarity against
the immoral despotism of Yankee
plutocrats has become an active force
with which to combat the American
policy of the right Of force over the
force Of right.

Rear Admiral Bristol, the American
diplomatic representative in Turkey,
has gone to Angora, it being expected
that he will negotiate with the gov
ernment concerning the possibility of
prolongation of the provisional com
mercial treaty between the two coun-
tries, which expires early in February.
The press unanimously lauds Admiral
Bristols efforts to promote friendly
relations between Turkey and the
United States, recognizing that the
Senate's action places the admiral in
most difficult position.
The intentions of the Angora gov
ernment are not known at present,

BY SOL METZGER.

Ever see Joe Kirkwood do his
tricks? Joe takes a mashie iron,
makes a mighty swing at the ball
as though he were after a green
145 yards away, actually swinging
as he would to make this shot and
catches the ball in his hand after
his finish. It's thrilling trick.
"Nibs" Ouimet has one just as
good. He works it at his home.
Takes a guest out back of the
house, lays golf ball on the grass
and asks him to watch him pitch
it right over a chimney. Fr1ncis
takes a mighty swing, you look,
and finally the ball is located just
where he had placed it.
Both stunts are done IL tiIe same
way. Both players open wide the
face of their irons until they are
parallel to the gIOdnd. Both tee
the ball on the grass. Kirkwood
just lets the face of his club Craze
under the ball. which causes 1t to
plop up in the air. Ouimet cuts
right under his.
Each is an easy stunt--if you
can swing a club with such ac-
curacy that you can drive a ball
off the crystal Of watch without
breaking the crystal.
