MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Jan. a.
Acting Foreign Minister Litvinoff, in
the absence of George chlcherln, has
undertaken to reply to the Kellogg
memorandum recounting the erue-
some details Of an all-devourinu
"boIsheVist" plot to steal Latin-Amer-
lea away from Wall Street. The So
VIet Press also pays its compliments
to the nervous secretary Of state and
takes particular exception to his dis
tortion Of Chcherln's pronouneements
regarding America.
Statement of capitalistic coun-
tries" said Litvinoff, lately have
taken the habit of covering their
incompetence in internal affairs or ag-
gressive aspirations in the field Of
foreign policy by playing up 'bolshe-
vik intrigues,' or plots of the Soviet
government" he said. Whether the
question at issue is miners strike
in England, an attack by the Ameri-
can navy against the independent re-
public of Nicaragua or the shooting
of people in Java and Sumatra, there
is always the same justification in the
plots and intrigues' of the bolshevist
government.
Blame for Floods.
81 shouldn't be surprised If the en-
lightened politicians of the great
powers one day set out to explain ar
earthquake in Japan or floods in
America by such fntrigues' of the
bolsheviks. 1t would simply be an in
suit to public opinion if l were seri
ously to repudiate such fantastic ex

BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

TT is worthy of note that most of
President Coolidge's recommend
ations to congress are contemptuously
relegated to the waste basket by the
lawmakers, yet this same Coolidge can
engage In war on a friendly country
like Nicaragua, threaten war against
Mexico and dispatch warships to
China on a hostile mission, and get
away with it. Intellectually, Coolidge
is a greater nincompoop than his
predecessor, Warren G. Harding. He
owes his power to Wall Street. AS
long as he acts the part of willing
errand boy the so-called opposition in
congress may rave, but Cal may go
ahead with the work.
WET there are some people who are
4 still under the delusion that the
citizens Of this country are in a posi-
tion to exert decisive influence on
governmental policy. In no other
country in the world is government
less subject TO popular will than in
the United States, with the exception
Of fascist relationships such as Italy,
Spain, Poland and others Of the same
brand. In France, Germany or Great
Britain a government quits when it's
important measures fail to receive a
substantial majority in parliament. In
the United States the administration
stays put if congress turned against
it to a man.
rT,HE Knights of Columbus believe
4 in educating the Mexicans with
bullets. At the convention held by the
knights in Philadelphia a million
dollar fund was launched for "educa'
tional purposes" The Knights would
explain the position of the catholic
church on the Mexican question to the
American people. 1t now develops thai
this money is being used to finance
fascist revolts against the Mexican
government The Mexicans have had
enough of papal education.

Connected With OIL.
The decision Of the clergy to throw
off the veil of religious passivity and
abandon intrigue for open warfare
against the Mexican revolution is re-
garded here as closely connected with
the crisis over the oil and land laws
and more particularly with the finan-
cial and moral support being given
the Mexican hierarchy by the Catholic
Knights of Columbus in the United
States.
The government has accepted the
challenge and has modified troops to
the bands of catholics who, under the
leadership of priests and local reac-
tionaries, have been marauding the
countrysides and attempting to rally
the more fanatic religious elements to
their standards. THE federal troops
have so far been completely success
full in their operations and their cam
paign is being supplemented by az
rarian supporters of the government
and the revolution in the outlying
states who are asking Gales for arms.
Not Fooled ~ Lull.
Mexico City circles view the present
hull in the crisis between Gales and
Coolidge as merely a temporary
watchfuIness on the part of Washing
ton and the oil men who are pushing
the oil land dispute to a crisis in the
Mexican courts and are encouraged by
the revolt of the clergy.
There is no question but that the
Gales regime so far enjoys the con
fdence of the large mass of poems
| not to speak of the overwhelming bull
Of the city workers, that any attempts
at revolt are doomed to failure. The
lfear here is that, while it is certain
the armed bid for power being made
by the hierarchy and the reactionaries
cannot possibly succeed without out
side help, there is danger of U. S
llnl6INSULlOu lHNOANOu III Nhc PCSpiDAA
Iity Of the catholics extending theil
operations to the oil fields.
Fear Provocation.
It would be one of the first acts o
the counterrevolutionary forces t.
provoke difficulty for the Gales gov
eminent by attacks upon American
property which would offer an excus
for u. S. Intervention. 1t is no secre
here that Wall Street interests hav
on many previous occasions finances
the catholics and the reactionarie
and there is no doubt but that tn
million dollar fund raised by tn
knights of Columbus in the Unite
States is finding its way into Mexic
to aid the catholics.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James j. Montague
TO A RATTLESNAKE


If you only had huddled there quiet,
Ii you hadn't served notice
Your intention to add to your diet
My ankle my shin my knee;
II you hadn't been rude unpleasant
And noisy eager for strife,
You might be abiding at present
With your kids and your wife.
But you coiled in the bushes embatted,
Your hideous fangs in full view
And blatant defiance you ratified
AS l into view.
An asp would have shown discretion,
An adder in serpentine glee
Would have furthered the silent suppression
OF beings like me- =
But you instantly voiced your intention
To make it man-to-snake fight,
And think it but honest to mention
That your instincts of sport all right.
STILL the half minute notice you gave I'd
Was enough; and swiftly laid hold
OF boulder of granite to me,
And lay you out cold
My booksheves today you're adornng,
Well stuffed, and bereft of your bite,
When if you had omitted that warning,
You might have prevailed in the fight.
You were game, l admit, as fighter
To rattle your purpose to kill,
But you'd have been very much brighter
If you'd have kept still.

For his information and that of
other anglers who desire to fish in
the canal this column learned that
license is necessary to fish i'm the
canal in Maryland territory. This
question was thrashed out by some
local lawyers who are anglers, and a
Maryland court decided that the canal
is fed by SO many little streams or
brooks that it becomes a MARYLAND
stream.
Anglers are also notified that th-
fishing in Maryland this year under
the new year ends December /. The
balance of the month is open to
them. after which there will be no
more bass fishing in Maryland until
next season.
This column also has learned that
