1. The conflict with Latin America

TT is the duty of our party to intensi.

The Communist parties of Latin
America must be given every assist
ance possible so that they may be able
to develop strength and influence in
the labor and peasant movements suf-
fcient to enable these to play a de-
cisive role in the struggle.
In the United States we must, to the
limit Of our resources, see that the

prevent armed Intervention and

A ROUND such slogans as, "Hands

promise Of success and the Latin

possess in the American working class

WASHINGToN.-The commission

Dlaz an Old Tool.
Diaz, the militarist president re-
cognized by Kellogg last month, was
first set up as dictator in 1912 by
American marines after Gen. Mena
had been duly elected president. Diaz,
surrounded in the capital then as he
is now, appealed to Washington to
have the marines protect all the in
habitants of the republic" He asked
that Washington furnish him armed
help. On Sept. 81, 1912, Minister Welt
eel sent a note to Diaz' foreign mini
ster, in reply, saying that the policy
of the American government would be
to protect its own nationals "and at
the same time to use its influence
thru all adequate means for the pro-
lection of the legal and recognized
government" which has the Diaz re-
gime set up by American rifles. This
was an act of the Taft administration.
Coolidge's present policy appears to
be a repetition of the Taft scheme Of
conquest in favor of Diaz, the bank
ers' man, but it is less frank in de-
claring its purpose.

KUOMINTANG IS

Scores ExtraditiOn
Especial to The Daily wOrker)


PEKING, Jan. 4.--Charles James
Fox, editor of the American newspa-
per published In Tlcntsin, the North
China Star, has published a leading
article in his capacity as defending
lawyer for the kuomntan1 members
arrested In Tlentsln, signed with his
own name, in which he declares that
the explanations OF Locker Sampson
In the British house of commons in
answer to the questions concerning
the extraditlon Of the arrested kuo-
nlntana members were not In accord
ance with the truth.
Fox writes that the Kuomintang is
absolutely no traitorous anarchistic
secret society, as Locker Sampson
declared in the house of commons.
He says: "If the police did not
know that a committee Of the Kuo-
mintang was in the party office when
they raided it then they knew at least
on Nov. 25, for personally informed
them and the British consul about it.
The British authorities therefore knew
before the delivery of the prisoners
to the Mukden authorities who it was
they were handing over.
Deny Guilt.
"On the morning Of Nov. "a the
British police and the British consul
were informed that the arrested men
had declared themselves not guilty of
any political crime. The arrested
had, therefore, already declared that
they we're political refugees. The
search warrant and the arrest war
rant were actually made out after the
event, as only the Chinese legal
authorities have the right to issue
such documents, and not the police,
as Sampson declared. Further. the
arrested were not delivered to the
Mukdeners on Nov. 6, but on Nov. 26'
