IN The CARBIDE AN
Imperialist
Base by purchase"

The old dispute about the possess
sion of a few small islands in the
Caribbean Sea, situated in front Of
the coast of Nicaragua and claimed by
Colombia and Nicaragua IS to be set
tied by their transference to the
United States.
Several small islands, the largest
among which are San Andres and
Providence, were "ceded" in 1916 bv
Chamorro. the then dictator of Mica
ragua, to the United States under the
Bryan-Chamorro treaty, for the pro-
lection of the future Nicaragua canal
and the railway across Nicaragua.
Colombia, however, claimed that these
islands had been occupied by Colon
hia since it's independence from Spain.
Therefore, this part of the Nicaragua
United States treaty was never exc
cuted. The United States wished to
erect naval stations and fortify the
islands. ..
This controversy is finally APP
preaching conclusion by the offer of
the United States to buy these is
lands for S6,000,000 of which Colon
bia will receive $4,000,000 and Mica
ragua S2,000,O00. All the smaller
islands and banks, Roncador, the Maiz
and the Mangle Islands, will also be
given to the United States which will
thus command the approach to Mica
ragua.

ALBANY, April 8. = The rawness

to thousands of persons, Attorney
General Albert Ottinger is compelled
to go before the Grand Jury here
Thursday morning and demand the in

Knapp, former secretary of state, who
is charged with forgery, grand lar
ceny, false audits and destruction of
public records.
During her administration $1,000
600 was spent for the census.
Several weeks ago the district at
torney of Albany county recommend
ed that the charges against Mrs.
Knapp be dropped. Due to protests
the attorney generals office was
forced to reopen the case. 1t appears
that originally the Al Smith. New
York state administration planned
merely to discredit the New York re-
publican party in report without
going so far as to indict. 1t is looked
upon as bad precedent.

In conclusion I must say a few
words about the Pan-Pacific Trade
Union Secretariat We have known
for long the necessity Of such an or
ganization, and now we are learning
practically the benefits to be gained.
1t is a necessary organ to lead the
movement in the colonial ard semi
colonial countries. and to link I'D the
labor struggle in capitalist lands with
the revolutionary movement in the
colonies; 1T is necessary in order to
meet the special problems in the
Pacific, which are growing so acute.
Origin of Pan-Pacific Secretariat.
When. more than two years ago
the Australian trade unions initiated
this movement. we regretted very
much we could not send delegates to
Australia; we were prepared to do
so, but kilograms and letters were
withheld from US by the imperialists
until it was too late. We were very
sorry indeed. We had many prob
lens which it was necessary to dis
cuss with the trade unions of the
Pacific. The Chinese trade Unions
always felt the need of Pan Pacific
Trade Union organization. AS far
back as 1924, there was held in Can
ton Pacific Transport Workers Con-
ference, in which Filipinos, Javanese,
Chinese and others participated. The
revolutionary struggle in China be-
came so sharp and developed so fast,
we could not pay the proper continu-
Gus attention to our international con-
nections. However, last year in Han
kow our Pan-Pacific Secretariat was
successfully established; we only re-
pretted the absence then of our Aus
tralian comrades. for reasons which
we all know. Because of that absence
in the Hankow conference, we can be
especially glad that our Australian

comrade is chairman of these ses-
sions. 1t is also great pleasure to
us to meet here for the first time the
Filipino trade union comrades. The
Hankow conference had its due in
fluence upon the Chinese workers; we
published resolutions and speeches.
But we must admit that our propa-
gsnda was insufficient, especially be-
cause the counter-r revolution broke
out so soon after. But in China we
have never been able to do sufficient
propaganda about anything, because
we are so pressed for action.
Tasks of Pan-Pacific Secretariat.
We believe the Pan-Pacific Sec
retariat has three outstanding i'm
mediate tasks. () We must establish
wider ard more intimate connections
with all countries. This meeting
must see that initiative is taken on
this matter. (2) We must lead in
organization of trade unions in all
Poe fie lands, especially where the

speaker at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the Kiwanis club held
at the Barbara Worth Hotel at
noon today. lie gave an interest
ing talk on the routine duties of
the bows at the school and suggest
ed some preventative measures for
building up the morale and morals

lowing as guests: T. F. Crocker of

Rex Roach of Monrovia and George
Herr of San Bernardino.
In his address Lang began bv
telling the Kiwanians of the manner
in which the boys are treated al
the school, of the instructions in
various subjects and of the general
upbuilding policies practiced at the
institution.
He said that it was the general
belief that the delinquent boy is
the product of bad home but that
he believed it was more due to
the lack of proper community faci-
litics for the outlet of the boys ac-
tivities. He expressed the BELIEF
that the recreation c>'nter being
sponsored by the American Legion
for Fl Centre was one of the
greatest things for the destruction
of juvenile delinquency.
He urged that the civic clubs of
the valley ioin hands with the Le-
gion in making the recreation cen
ter a real place for the youth of
the community to carry on his acti-
vities with proper supervision.
In 1913 the Preston school held
no high school boys, but today con-
tanned many who are of high in
tellect and have high school educa
tion. Lang said. Lack of under,
standing and community spirit sur
rounding the homes of these bows
are held responsible for this condi
ton by the speaker.
