Capital Takes Interest
in Mexican Reaction
Especial to The Daily worker)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--HavIne
stated their policy towards Mexico
and reiterated their decision to keep
the marines in Nicaragua, President
Coolidge and Secretary of State Kel-
logg have again drawn the veil Of
secrecy over the Latln-Amerlcan
maneuVers of the administration.
Meaningless hints, for public con-
sumption, that arbitration might be
considered in Mexico and Nicaragua
are entirely overcast by the tighten
ing of the blockade around Sacasa's
forces in Nicaragua and the extreme
interest being taken in the reaction
airy rebellion in Mexico that, of itself,
can offer an easy excuse for interven-
ton.
Excuse for Invasion.
The agents of Wall Street that are
swarming in the capital as we'll as
the Representatives of foreign powers
are taking an exceptional interest in
this angle of the situation. Observers
here recall that it was during a revolu-
tionary period in Mexico in 1914 that
Woodrow Wilson found an excuse to
lombard Vera Cruz.
There is sufficient evidence to show
that the catholic rebellion in Mexico
which is gathering under the banner
Of leaders who wish to abolish the
constitution of 1917 that the U. S,
takes exception to, are being financed
and supported by interests within the
United States.
Opposition Grows.
While the opposition in the senate
still continues and kilograms Of pro.
; test against the administration policy
pour into the capitol and the White
House, Coolidge and Kellogg have
drawn into their shells for a time to
let the storm blow over. In the mean
time the court fight being waged in
Mexico by the oil companies to put
aside the constitutional requirements
they object to are going forward to a
crisis. At the same time the catholic
revolutionaries are stirring up discord
in the outlying states OF Mexico and
attempting to coordinate Dorce that
can make stand against the federal
troops
Would Invite Intervention.
If the reactionaries can mobilize a
force large enough to take over por
tions of state like Tamaulipas OF
Vera Cruz where foreign Oil interests
are thickest, an excuse for interven
! ton can easily be found by the state
department. The catholic hierarchy
would invite intervention to achieve
their purpose of reverting to the reac
tionary constitution of 1857, destroy
ing the labor movement and settling
up again Diaz regime.

has been taken over by the Chinese
and the Cantonese are getting ready
to perform a similar operation on
Swallow. Missionaries and other set.
tiers who have had their own way in
China in the past are getting nervous
and are bowling for warships. In a
report to the cabinet on the Chinese
situation, Austen Chamberlain, foreign
secretary, made it quite clear that he
had come to the conclusion the pro
gress of the Cantonese could not be
seriously impeded by anything the
empire could do, and that the use Of
force on a large scale would only
make matters worse for the British.
