A DEMONSTRATION newspapers are
"A laughing at senator King because
of his failure to secure permission tt
enter Haiti, the island republic that
is actually branch office of the Ma
tional City bank. King delivered a
speech last year in which he said that
Haiti was not free but was actually a
pupp, of the state department. To
prove that King was not stating the
truth President Borno put up the "no
admittance" sign for the senator and
the state department says: "Now, who
is running Haiti"
THE state department will not in
4 sist on the president of Haiti
granting King a visa to enter the
country. But if President Borno
treated Wall Street banker in this
fsshion, few of the battleships that
are not engaged protecting Wall
Streets interests in China, Nicaragua
and the Philippines would be churn-

who falls foul of the money barons
does not amount to much.
D AMSAY MACDONALD is coming
N to the United States and there is
some talk that the more progressive
wing of the Labor Party are in favor
of giving him a permanent vacation.
Macdonald got in wrong W his
party on the Chinese question rit-
ish L-bor leaders have a habit of
taking an otean voyage when home
life gets too strenuous. J. H. Thomas
came to the United States after he
betrayed the miners few years ago.
When he helped to betray them last
year he went to Canada and to re-
cuperate from the same kind of
activity Ramsay Macdonald went to
the Sahara desert. Things move
slowly in England but the British
working class are preparing to send
their reactionary leaders to the poll
tical wilderness.

KERENSKY tells us that Stain
IA hates the peasantry and that the
only difference between Stains
policy and Trotsky's is that the latter
wants to kill them right away while
the former would go about the bust
ness of extinction more methodically
and cautiously. Kerensky declares
quite correctly that the peasantry
comprises about IS per cent of the
population of the Soviet Union. Yet
these peasants seem to like their
enemies. Kerensky's lies are so feeble
that even the capitalist newspapers
decorate them with invisible question
marks.
DOOR Mr.. Kellogg has a terrible
L time trying to deny that he in
structed the American charge in
Nicaragua to bring about the election
Of the reactionary Diaz. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Dennis, the charge
in question who is returning to the
United States to become head Of the
Latin-American section of the state
department has such document in
his possession. 1t may be lese majestic
to say that Mr.. Kellogg is lying but
the secretary of state has been caught
SO often taking liberties with the truth
that his denials carry no more weight
than a preachers TRADE against the
devil.
THE Nationalist are forging ahead
i in China. Shanghai, the prize
city of the Orient, seems to be ready
To fall into their lap. If they had to
deal only with the feudal militarists
their task would be simple. Even de-
spite the opposition of the Imperial
list powers whose money is financing
the militarists the revolutionists APP
pear to be on the verge of attaining
victory. Too much stock should not
be takensin reports of conflicts inside
the KouIaintang Party. OF course
there are differences on questions of
policy and there is no doubt but the
