Natl. Security League
Speaker Suddenly Goes
Back on Former Ideals

Surprising everyone, S. Stanwood
Menken Of the National Security
League. became an advocate Of free
speech for teachers at the New York
teachers union aluncheon. The dis
cussion topic was "What Guarantee
Of Citizenship Can We Offer the
Teacher" Menken was invited be-
cause Of his past public support of
Lusk anti-sedition laws and restric-
tions on civil rights. His anticipated
debate with DR.. William p Montagu,
Columbia University philosophy pro-
fessor, failed to develop
Menken promised to investigate
the refusal of New York public
school authorities to give three union
teachers their earned promotions.
lie said he would consult with Sc
curity League educational advisors
and attempt to have an official state
ment issued on teachers freedom Of
thought and expression. AS chair
man Of the leagues executive board
he has signed many press statements
denouncing radicals and those who
express opinions contrary to the con-
sentative organization.
War hysteria was Menken's ex-
cuse for his previous stand against
teachers civil rights, he told Abra-
ham Lefkowitz. union secretary and
one Of the union members denied pro-
motion although he heads the his
tory eligibility list. Menken told the
teachers that they should take the
loyalty oath as lawyers do but that
It should not debar them from advo-
eating governmental change. He de-
clared denial of free speech more
dangerous than 400 Lenin meetings
held simultaneously"
Montagu asserted that freedom
Of expression was a fundamental ne
cessity of teaching. His view is that
teachers should not be compelled tc
teach any particular code Of thought

Thompson Would Not
Free FilipinOs, Says
Government Is B a d

BOSTON, Feb. /. Governor
Woods military cabinet" in the
Philippines was described as unfit
and "tactless" by Col. Carmi A.
Thompson, in an address to the Re-
publican club of Massachusetts today.
Col. Thompson, whose job at present
n to make the Philippines safe for
Firestone and other rubber investors,
recently surveyed conditions in the
Philippines for President Coolidge.
Officials No Good.
Referring to Woods military cab
met, Col. Thompson said "it is impos-
sible to overlook the criticism that
they are unfit for the task assigned
to them and that, in some cases, they
have caused needless friction by tact
less methods. "The breach between
Governor Wood and the Philippine
Legislature has reached point where
constructive Legislature is impos-
sible, Col. Thompson said
The old story about the "impractl-
cability" of immediate Independence,
the need for preparing the Filipinos
for self-government' was again fish
ed up by Col. Thompson.

COOLIDGE Gets
MARINES READY
FOR CHINA WAR

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.--Presi-
dent Coolidge, thru the navy depart
ment, has issued orders TO 1900
marines to sail from San Diego to
Guam with China as the next stop.
1t appears that despite the Kellogg
statement of friendliness to China and
the demand of BOrah that Americans
evacuate China lest some accident to
them might involve the country in
war, Coolidge has definitely decided
to support the British in utter de-
fiance of Congress and mass opinion.
Pres. Coolidge told Americans to
stay where they are in China thus
publicly flouting the position of SEN
ator Borah, chairman Of the once
powerful foreign relations committee
but now futile committee Of bah
blers in face of the Kellogg Coolidge
policy of ignoring all advice except
that coming directly from Wall
Street.
The president made it clear that he
would cooperate with the British in
protecting the lives of foreigners in
China. This means nothing else but
cooperating with the British in max
ing war on China. The president pos
ing as his own spokesman" said that
there was nothing antagonistic in his
attitude towards China. Nothing eX-
cept a willingness to slaughter them
in the interests of the imperialists.
There is a growing belief here that
the hard-boiled Coolidge policy to-
wards China is determined to q con-
siderable extent by the growing in
clination of Japan to treat China on
terms of equality by the Soviet I'M
ion. II is said that Coolidge believes
the United States would be striking
blow at the Soviet Union by strik-
ing a blow at the Cantonese. 1t is
also limited that the British ambassa-
dor talked to the president of an
attack on Russia from the west thru
Poland, Lithuania and Roumania
while the powers were attacking
China in the east.
The presidents flouting Of Senator
Borah is expected to bring a lew
roars from the Idaho senator but
Coolidge seems to have gagged the
opposition accurately as a collection
Of wind-bags and proceeds serenely on
his way in China and Latin-America,
taking no more notice Of Congress
than if the Representatives and sena-
tors were a crowd Of school boys.

KEY MAN MARVIN
SCARES BOSSES;
THEN SELLS DOPE
Tells Employers Moscow
Made Passaic Strike

NEW YORK (FP.).-North Jersey
employers listened TO typical profess
sional patriotic misinformation from
Fred Il. Marvin, former editor New
York Commercial, at their last meet
ing. Marvin told the Jersey employ
ers' association that the Passaic
strike was planned in every detail
months in advance in Moscow" He
asserted that each move was plotted
from the moment Justine Wise Of the
League for Industrial Democracy,
went into Passaic mills with several
friends to work until strike leader
Albert Weisbord turned the situation
over to the American Federation of
Labor.
So They Attack Mexico.
So impressed with Marvin's mar
vels were the Jersey employers that
they passed resolutions to stand by
Coolidge and Kellogg in the Nicara-
guam and Mexican muddles which
these officials have tried to hide with
red cloud.
Marvin counts among his associates
some of the most violently anti-labor
forces in the country. On his Key
Men of America advisory council are
such nationally known figures as An
drew ]. Allen, secretary of the Asso-
ciated Employers of Indianapolis
who is unanimously credited by open
shop papers with fathefing the Amer

Prove Great Gladstone

CHICAGO, Feb. William Z,
Gladstone, England's great Victorian
prime minister, essayed the role of
stage-door Johnny to meet Lily
Langtry, the actress, at Princes
Theater, London the Chicago Even
ing American declared today.
The breaks in partially unde-
cipherable documents, many Of them
written by the Jersey Lily herself,
were pieced out today by A. L.
Langtry, Of Chicago, granddaughter
disclosing the extent Of the intimacy
between the actress and the then
leading statesman Of the British
Empire.
LONDON. Feb. 1.-The case of
Captain Wright who is involved in
libel suit with Viscount Gladstone
because of his book charging the de-
ceased statesman Gladstone, the Wis
counts father, with permitting fe-
male pulchritude to distract him
from his duties, is drawing to q
close. Pictures are being submitted
to prove, on the one side that a GER
tain Nine. Novikoff was a "most Sc
ductive person." and on the other
that she wasn't much to look at, and
therefore would not have been, as
Wright said, sent by the Car tc
vamp Gladstone. Wright's account
had it that Nine. Novikoff succeeded
rather easily. and that European
history was changed thereby.
