The Meaning Of The Attack On Our Party and lis Press

The raid the New York district headquarters of the Work
Communist Party Tuesday when IL members Of the bomb
squad invaded the premises and searched the occupants marks
continuation of the methods used in recent weeks to hamper
the party and its official organ, The DAILY WORKER
There be question but that the antimperas
paign of party with its special emphasis of Hands Off
China since the bloody aggression pepeated there by Ame
and British gunboats the in which has fought
against the invasion of Nicaragua and the hrong of Mexico
has reused the ire of the state department and the various sup
pressve agencies with which it has contact.
That The DAILY WORKER is thorn the side of Ameri-
Imperialism and hated by the fat and bepaed patriots
who thrive upon the loot brings home be doubted 1t
has already tho handicapped in the few of its e
mtancy the struggles Of the American working class and
muns paper be- both peoples paper collective
ganizer of party and the masses.
The DAILY WORKER editorial staff and the business manager
already held for trial complaint lodged by representatives
of various patriotic societies The raid the New York head
quarters coming in the week before May Day. and during the
joint offensive of the bosses and mpest agents in the labor
movement is indication that the American ruling class is
conscious of the fact that party plays role in the United
States far out OF proportion to the size of its membership
That party will not these and other serious
prosecutions obvious There of complete reaction
the mperast nations world threatens and the rulers
will do their best muzz and strange the Communist parties
and their supporters.
Our press must in this imperiaist epoch acquire
porance and support It be able in spite of
all difficulties to continue to the bloody plans of imperial
ism and forward the program of struggle against it.
Every attack party and its official organ should be
answered by renewed support and broadening influence
and of all activities.

In IT; SAYS MUST RULE LATINS

him that if he held the presidency for
eight years he proposed becoming
known in history as the president
who "reared the American flag from
the Rio Grande to the Panama Canal"
Hail Conquering Hero!
Senator" Harding is alleged to
have said, you may yet live to hear
the president Of the Senate say, 4
recognize the gentleman from Mexi-
CO.. or the gentleman from Nicara-
qua"
If Harding conceived himself in
this "heroic" mold, who is there to
gainsay that Coolidge, New England
backyard politician, and a political ac-
cident, may not under the ministra-
tions Of Dwight Morrow, Morgan's
pardner and Coolidge's intimate adj
wiser, also have similar ambitions,
Certainly with Kellogg as Secretary
of State, a man who emissions a Boil
shevik behind every door and every
shrub, such program will be ar
IDENTIFY seconded.
National Defense"
There is every indication to give
cause for grave concern in Central
American affairs. There is and has
been for some time an active cam
paign on by military interests to en-
large the Panama Canal and to
build another canal through Nicara-
qua. The United States has an option
for a canal through the latter coun-
try for which it has paid $3,000,000.
The cry Of national defense" has
been raised by these well financed and
influential interests. They want the
financial penetration that Wall Street
perpetrated in these small Republics
to materialize into actual manage
ment and control
There can be no doubt but that the
ultimate aim is Contamination of Cen
trail America. Coolidge's speech Mon
day night, declaration that should
shame every American, is clear evil
dence that he is a party to such a
program The New York Times in
its edition of April 90, the day fol-
lowing the presidential address, made
clear, if there could be any doubt,
just what was in the wind. Said its
Washington correspondent:
"In general the enuneiation or
the President was accepted by those
experts whose opinion was sought
as in line with the developing
Caribbean policy Of the United
States, but marking an advance in
the determination of this country
to protect the Panama canal and
its approaches as well as the po-
tential route of another Isthmian
waterway from the atlantic to the
Pacific through Nicaragua
"The Presidents declaration was
the immediate result Of circum-
stances of the Nicaraguan revolu-
ton. Although officials looked
upon it as the formal expression of
a policy that has existed in fact
for some time. They did not con-
ceal their qualification that Presi-
dent Coolidge had had the 'cour-
age to make the statement"
Courage" indeed. No doubt the
way-cry viii be, make the Caribbean
safe for Calibbeans."

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The
one item in President Coolidge's Mon
day night New York speech that
aroused the greatest interest here
was his intimation of a definite
Panama Canal policy" in relation to
the countries lying between the
American border and the waterway.
international authorities declared,
that for the first time in the history
of the country, a president had open
ly enunciated the policy that in its
relations with Central American coun-
tries, the United States would take a
different attitude than that deemed
appropriate in dealing with other
lands.
Coolidge Talked.
AS a matter of actual deed, Coolidge
merely gave expression to what has
been the American policy since Roose-
velt's day. ! But it is Of the greatest
significance, that he and his finan-
cial managers and advisers, should
permit themselves to make public
avowal that the United States has ar
interest in the Caribbean area thai
gives it the right to conduct it's af.
fairs there differently than in other
foreign lands
Has Pet Governments.
The sum and substance Of Cool
idge's statement was that he propos
ed seeing that "safe" governments
funetioned IN the countries to thc
south Of the United States. This j,
what the administration is doing il
keeping the illegally installed Diaz il
power in regime, and what it has
been accused of doing in trying &c
unseat Gales in Mexico. It mean:
that the administration proposes tt
say who should or should not rule il
the countries below our border.
Coolidge's specific reference L
such a Panama Canal policy as il
is being characterized in Washington
was as follows:
Toward the government of coun-
tries which we have recognized this
side Of the Panama Canal we feel a
moral responsibility that does not
attach to other nations"
This is actually not a new policy
although as already said, it is the
first time a president OF. the United
States dared publicly to proclaim it.
To the great mass, who pays nj
attention to presidential addresses, il
meant nothing, but to those who are
interested in international problems
the fact that Coolidge, whose foreign
policy is that Of his Wall Street anC
commercial advisers, had the courag,
to publicly announce such an attitude
is gravely ominous.
Announces PrOtectorate.
There can be but one inference
from the presidents statement, cor
federated by his conduct toward Mic
aragua and Mexico; that he proposes
to establish what amounts to a sue.
rainity in Central America.
This may sound fantastic but ar
anecdote told the correspondent by ;
republican senator Of internationa
repute nay make it seem less so. The
informtnt declared that on one oc.
casion, Harding while president tolC

If business secrecy is indispensable in

Brooklyn Painters Will
Demand S14.O0 Scale
Beginning April First

On and after April 1st the Brook
lyn painters, within the jurisdiction
of District Council No. 20, will de-
mand wage scale Of s14 per day.
Preparations are now taken to en-
force this demand and in case of re-
fusal of the painting contractors to
pay the new scale the union is going
to go on strike. District council rs
has asked the endorsement for this
9ctio from the painters IN New
York and the Queens, who upon re-
quest have assured full cooperation
to assist the Brooklyn brothers in
realizing their demand.
This new wage scale was drawn up
in view of the fact that the building
program for the coming season is one
of the biggest of the previous years
and will give employment to every
painter available. 1t is stated also
that the present rate of speed re-
quired at the job fully justifies a
wage increase, especially so since the
painting trade is seasonal compelling
painter to be idle for 4 and 5
months during the winter.
