8. That the ruling class of the
United States has been making and
is continuing to make the necessary
preparations to carry out such a pro
gram. "Our country is making out

pose of national defense. -. Our naval

wide and not exceeded in Importance

of very respectable proportions, needs

creases. Our air forces are being
improved and enlarged" A
few moments later President Cool

preparation by stating "our

that they were forced to prepare for

icy is utilizing military and naval

investments and to enlarge American
spheres of interest. President Cool

ments and business interests" in Nj
caragua demanded the use of the
marines. Now he informs the world
that the American empire with the
aid of the marines, is establishing
and maintaining orderly and peaceful
institutions Gin harmony with civilized
society" Thus far the Attempts of the
American empire to stabilize the
planet have been confined primarily
to the caribbean. Recently, however,
they have been extended to China.
Perhaps in the not distant future
Europe will also come in for her
share of attention.
All of these things were said by
Mr.. Coolidge at Gettysburg on the
famous battle fieldewhere Lincoln an
nounced his old line about govern
ment of the people, by the people,
for the people" Mr.. Coolidge quite
properly overlooked the sentiment in
his analysis of American imperial
preparations to conquer and exploit
the world. The executive officers Of
the American empire are quite evid-
emily getting down to business.

BY MANUEL GOMEZ

A decision in the "Sandino Stamp"
case has at last been handed down.
This case, in which the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League sought to
restrain the postal authorities from
interfering with its stamps reading,
Protest Against Marine Rule in Nj
caragua," involved questions of fun
damental Importance in the develop
ment of American Imperialism. So
concerned was the government in this
case that personages of such official
dignity as Postmaster-General New
and Secretary of State Kellogg felt
called upon to participate in it. Of
course the decision is against the
Anti-Imperialist League. The word
ing of the decision and the circum-
stances surrouding it teach lesson
of such obvious significance that even
the most naive believer in American
institutions cannot fail to be impressed
by it.
"Unclean Hands"
No one seriously insisted that the
SANDING Stamps violated any law.
The governments defense against the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League
was that no writ could be granted
because the League had not come in
to the courts with "clean hands"
Why? Because our SANDING stickers
said something about marine rule in
Nicaragua, whereas Secretary of
State Kellogg had entered an ingen-
uous affidavit stating that there was
no marine rule in Nicaragua at all
and that everything was quiet and
gentlemanly there. Federal Judge
Thomas D. Thatcher was much i'm
pressed by this contention Of "un-
clean hands,"
In setting forth his decision the
worthy jurist delivered himself Of the
following:
ut is not enough to say that the
stamps are not within the statutory
prohibition upon which the defendants
relied in excluding them from the
mails a question which is not de-
cided At the threshold plaintiff is
met with the defense of nnclean
hands. This court will not aid the
preparation of falsehoods. One of
the stamps is designed pictorially to
characterize the acts. Of the armed
forces of the United States in Near
aqua as ruthless, oppressive and in
violation Of international law. Both

d'corps behind this, a response to
what is in the last analysis the pres
sure of class interest and a pretty
thoroughly unified theology, to say
nothing of actual direction from Wall
Street.
There are some liberal gentlemen
in this country who blame the whole
invasion of Nicaragua on Coolidge,
as if it were some private affair he
was carrying on behind the back of
congress. But is this true? Can
congress pretend that it is innocent
in the matter? Only to an ignora-
mus, or to some fool who is so in
volved in legalism and legal techni-
calities that he cannot cut through
superficialities to the reality.
Record of Congress.
Here is the record of congress in
the Nicaragua affair. The house of
representatives. Absolutely nothing.
The senate. The senate foreign re-
lations committee, headed by the
pseudo-liberal political sleight-of- hand
performer, William E. Borah, rejec-
ted the only resolution submitted
to it which called for the imme-
date withdrawal of marines from
Nicaragua. The senate as whole
defeated the Norris-Blaine proposal
against maintaining the marines in
Nicaragua after the Nicaraguan
elections. This was as late as April
rs, 1928. Way back in January the
senate adjourned abruptly for three
days by special arrangement between
the republican and democratic lead
ers in order to prevent discussion of
any resolutions criticising the gov
ernment's policy in Nicaragua.
The explanation for so extraordin-
airy maneuver was that the discus
sion would "embarrass" President
Coolidge at the Pan-American Con-
ference at Havana. The explanation
itself is an admission.

APRIL Wholesale TRADE.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--Trade Of
wholesale firms declined in April by
more than the usual seasonal amount
and was smaller than in April of last
year, accoding to statistics Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board. Sales Of firms in
the nine lines of trade included in the
Federal Reserve Boards index of
wholesale distribution averaged near
ly five per cent smaller than in April
year ago and reflected declines in
all lines except meats and drugs.

in the exclusive, lily-pure circles of
the fedora, courts.
Free speech is all right, presum-
ably, so long as you agree with the
powers that be. No unfamiliar die
tum in this land of the government
strike-breaker! Long ago we were
made to understand that we could not
rely upon the constitutional guaran-
tee of free speech, to encourage over
throw of the established government,
to agitate in strikes, ETC., etc. Now
we are told that we may not even ex-
press an opinion different from that
of the secretary of state.
Courts Defend Imperialism.
The significance of Judge Thacher's
decision is that it shows what web
of constituted authority surrounds and
defends the most arbitrary acts of
government. We try to create pro-
test against the sending of marines
to Nicaragua by President Coolidge,
and against marine rule there. The
Post Office Department, ostensibly a
mere technical arm of the govern
ment for distribution of the mails,
immediately steps in. We go to the
courts for writ against the postal
authorities. The courts turn to the
secretary of state, who enters an af-
fidavit to the effect that there is no
such thing as marine rule in Nicara-
qua. That is final. And the court
turns savagely upon US with the
statement that we have "unclean
hands" and that we have no rights
sin equity" anywhere until we stop
saying that there is marine rule in
Nicaragua.
1t is vicious circle. There is no
way out. Our lawyer tells us an
appeal to higher court would be
useless, for no judge will call into
question the affidavit of the secretary
of state.
Thus we are shown how absurd it
is to attempt to fight against Ameri-
can imperialism as the private misde-
meanor of some individual official
sinner the president, the secretary
of state, or someone else. Imperialism
cannot be fought without fighting the
whole imperialist government. The
government functions as a unit or it
does not function at all. President
Coolidge sends marines to Nicaragua,
the military commanders carry out
his orders, the state department, the
courts, all other branches Of the gov
eminent combine to break up any at
tempt to interfere with the enterprise.
There is more than an official esprit

"Uncleah Hands" in the SANDING Stamp Case

carry the false implication that the
United States, through its armed
forces, is ruling Nicaragua, whereas
the truth appears from the affidavit
of the Secretary of State. The rule
which confines the doctrine of unclean
hands to misconduct connected with
the subject matter does not preclude
consideration of the plaintiffs use of
these stamps in connection with a
campaign Of falsehood and villifica-
ton against the American forces in
Nicaragua, which is frankly designed
to encourage desertion of United
States Marines to the forces of San
dino, with whom the American forces
are in armed conflict. An analogous
situation is often dealt with in the
trademark cases where courts of
equity refuse to enjoin infringement
Of a lawfully registered trademark
which is shown to have been used up
on goods sold under false representa-
tons. In such cases the Court looks
beyond the character of the mark to
it's unconscionable use. (Manhattan
Medicine Co. v. Wood, 10S u. s. 218.)
And SO in this case, looking to the use
which has been and is intended to
be made of these stamps, it is clear
that the plaintiff is seeking the aid of
the Court in the pursuit of its own
iniquity. 1t has no more right to
such assistance than the Highwayman
Of Houslow Heath. (McMuHen ".
Hoffman, TIA U. S. 500, 654.)
plaintiff has no standing in a
court of equity, and the motion is
therefore denied"
mo Marine Rule" Pretense.
Stripped Of all it's ferocious cpl
thets against us, this decision of Judge
TEACHERS says two things. First,
that Mr.. Kellogg's affidavit is more
real than the marines, gunboats and
bombing planes now terrorizing Nj
caragua and that the Courts will
maintain the pretense that there is
no marine rule in Nicaragua. Second,
that even if you disagree with Messrs.
Kellogg, Coolidge, G. Co., about this
you may not say so. 1t does not de-
mand that you refrain from seeing
the facts of marine rule. No doubt
that will come later. Because the
Anti-Imperialist League
was so indiscreet as to publicly char
acterize the situation in Nicaragua as
one of marine rule, it is declared to
have "come into court with unclean
hands" And no one with unclean
hands can expect to have any rights

President Coolidge will be able to
establish reputation as fisherman
without much trouble this summer.
H. Clay Pierce, in whose summer
house the president will spend his
vacation, spent over million dollars
to make it an ideal fishing resort for
fIaby -muscled fishermen. There are
fifteen artificial pools on the estate.
each one containing different kinds
and weights of trout. The fish are
forced into the pools and allowed to
grow fat on liver. Then just before
the president is brought on to fish
the pools they are starved for few
weeks. When the anglers come the
fish are hungry enough to snap at
red flannel underwear or silk top
bat.
