Coolidge Feels
Mexican War
Unpopular
Resolutions Show Public
Wants Arbitration

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. "a
Administration officials let it be
known yesterday that President
Coolidge and his advisers are serious
ly concerned by the demands pouring
in from many quarters and from
many groups in the social structure,
for arbitration of the Mexican land
quarrel.
President Coolidge feels that his
policy of provoking a war with Mexi-
co, if necessary, in order to guaran-
tee the American oil companies in
full possession of their immensely
profitable wells is unpopular among
Americans who own no oil land in
Mexico.
Public Resentment.
The President is of the opinion
that the American public sees sordid
and unworthy aims in a situation
in which it has always been the of
ficial theory that nothing but the
most idealistic principles rule--the
public as whole, the recent resolu-
tions show-not seeming able to destin-
guish beween a threatened war over
the sacred principles of private pro-
perty (already stated by President
Coolidge to not be subject to any
arbitration) and a mere merchant
adventuring, in which American oil
companies secured from various re-
dictionary Mexican government more
or less clouded title to lands, and
somewhat doubtful exemption from
taxes.
Against Land Law.
The American people do not appear,
say the Presidents friends, to under
stand the iniquity of the Mexican
land law. which declares the mineral
wealth below the soil of the nation
to be a national trust, and thereby
conflicts with the claims of American
and other foreign oil and mining COM
panies.
An assurance that no war with
Mexico is expected is issued by ad-
officials in close touch
with the President, but this is ae-
by considerable amount
of talk in favor of lifting the en-
barge on arms and ammunition
shipped from the United States to
clerical rebels, savage Yaqui Indians,
and other discontented elements in
Mexico, including the expected up

near the border. -
The situation of the administration
IS not rendered any more comfortable,
say the Presidents friends, by the
fact that the Senate Committee on
foreign relations has reported in q
resolution providing for arbitration
Of the Mexican difficulty, and that
this resolution coming from a repub-
lican controlled committee, is greeted
by Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
democratice floor leader, with the ex-
preston, "T welcome It'll"
The President is reported to be
a special message to Con-
gress, setting forth his views on the
Mexican question, similar to the mes
sage on Nicaragua which he made
when popular dissatisfaction with the
course being pursued by the State
Department became audible.

World Famous Now.

Today there is probably no country
in the world that has not heard Of
the Passaic strike. This is literally
true, for as more and more workers
came out on strike and the wrath of
the employers was given vent through
the clubs and bombs Of the police,
Passaic became symbol of labor's
battle front and even outside the
ranks Of labor it was forced upon
the notice Of people in many lands
The daily worker., 1927-01-25
: PoIicemen's Clubs.

AS news of the strike spread, the
word "Passaic" came to mean ''strike"
and Immediately brought up pictures
Of sadistic police clubbing men, wo-
men and children on the picket line
and newspaper and camera men on
the sidelines. "Passaic" meant the fire
hose and tear gas bombs used to at
tack workers; it meant injunctions
against mass meetings, arrests and
excessive bail, police lawlessness and
brutality almost unprecedented in
America.

never forget the enthusiasm, the

seen in the faces Of those plucky
workers. For hours they stand
packed in a meeting hall or an open

their heads, young girls, children, old
end worn grandfathers, vigorous
young and middle-aged men, all with
a patience born Of years Of suffering
but all with new faith which has
come from these months Of solidarity
