Mrs. Thacker enjoyed every mo-

southern route, having good roads
and good weather all the way.
''In Richmond | met many rela-

had most enjoyable time recount

since left there 20 years ago. We
spent several weeks in Richmond
and then proceeded to Washington

Falls and other interesting points.

they watched the broncho busters

This is true, as far as it goes, but
it doesn't go far enough. A "world
policy" to be workable, must be ac-
cepted by the whole world and not
by only half, with that half not
fully unanimous; and that it is not
so accepted appears in the very
fact of "disentangling," and how
ever successful such process may be
automatically, so long as British
investments in atm America
amount to over $5,000,000,O0O, the
League will be interested and en-
tangled, openly or secretly.
That the "New World" euphemis-
tically terming American imperial
ism, establishes a separate iuris-
diction," only proves that hostility
grows, and over what but the con-
siderable remnant of "entangle-

$4,000 WORKERS :
ARE With LEFT
WING MOVEMENT
To Continue Until the
Demands Are Met

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-The close Of
the year finds the $4,000 shipyard
workers in Hamburg and in the Ger
man North Sea industry solidly out
on strike after a walkout which has
already lasted two months.
The victory of the left wing
workers, in the rejection of the gov
ernment's arbitration award by a
majority of 80 per cent, is consid-
cred to be a decisive victory for the
strikers. since the shipowners are
forced into tight corner due to
lack of repairs on their ships. The
strike, further, will continue until
the workers get their demands.
Publicity by the shipowners on
the Glow" state of their industry
has as its object to urge the gov
eminent to take steps to break or
force decision with the help Of
the refoTmist leaders and the social
democrats, as was done in the Ruhr
metal lockout. The North German
Lloyd announces that it will not be
able to use its two newest ships,
launched in July, Que to the close
down of the shops and the inability
of the strikebreaking agencies to
force scab labor. The shipowners
also have been forced to give up
all repair work on their ships.
The employers have also issued
reports IN which they try to MALE
it appear they are "having hard
time making the industry profit
atle," with the object in view to
urge The reformist labor leaders to
induce the men to give up their
wage and hour demands.
AS matter of fact, figures show
that the German merchant marine
has grown considerably since the
war, to point where it is in direct
with the British lines,
the most powerful in the world. 1t
is but matter of few years when
the German lines will replace the
United States as second place. q

BOYCOTT
FORCES CABINET
TO RESIGNATION
Pacifists Surrender on
Autonomy

BELGRADE, Dec. 30.-The prime
minister of the Yugoslav govern
ment, Father" Anton Koroshetz, re-
signed today due to the cabinet
crisis brought about by the boycott
of the Belgrade government by the
Croatian Peasant Party in temper
airy coalition with the Independent
Democrats.
The refusal of the Croatian depu-
ties to participate in the Belgrade
parliament ever since June 20 when
five of their deputies were shot by
government deputies, started the
boycott.
Bribing Leaders.
1t is believed that an attempt will
be made 10 win over the more con-
sentative democrats and the leader
ship of the Peasant Party by offer
ing them places in the new cabinet
and agreeing to hold general cleo
ton for new parliament. This has
been made possible by the passive
tactics of the Croatian officials, who
now would agree to home rule for
the provinces under the central jur-
isdiction of the Belgrade govern
ment instead of the original de-
mands for complete autonomy for
the provinces.
The declaration of martial law
over Zagreb, capital of Croatia, by
the Belgrade government and the
appointment of a military governor
over the province following the pro-
test demonstrations in Zagreb on
the occasion of the 10th anniversary
of the Yugoslav kingdom, has led
to the great resentment among the
national minorities.
Compromising.
Following the death of Raditch,
the Croatian leader, DR.. Vladimir
Matchek was made head of the
party. While the 60 Croatian depu-
ties were withheld from the Bel
grade parliament and attempted to
set up governing body of their
own in Zagreb which was threatened
by Yugoslav troops, the present
leadership, it is indicated, will be
willing to compromise on home rule.
The suppression of national min
critics in Jugoslavia grew in brutal
ity after the various provinces of

monarchy had been formed into the
new kingdom. While the Serbs re-

the frontier between the two small
South American nations are not
easily to be predicted. One may,
surely, express a not exaggerated
hope. The territorial and polit-
ical principle of America for
Americans has been definitely es-
tablished. This has been attained
at least in appearance-by an
entity that is called the Pan
American Conference and in
which, seemingly, move On equal
footing the moral influences of all
the nations of the Continent"
Was America Ready for War at Once
1t is quite true that the conse-
quences are not easy to predict in
all matters, especially for a bour.
geois. That it means another and 8
more decisive step toward a new
world war, whether or not Bolivia's
yielding to pressure from some
where signified Americas reluctance
to precipitate world war at this mo-
ment, is unquestionable.
Here also LA Prensa" with its
"at least in appearance" and "seem-
ingly" lays the ambiguous ground
for bourgeois vacillation between
supplication to and attack on Yam
kee imperialism by Latin America.
We at once find out that if the ideas
of LA Prensa" prevail, it will be
supplication and not attack. The
editorial ends by saying:
when the Monroe Doctrine
comes to final triumph in the
world, may its spirit become really
triumphant; and may that be, in
effect, politically, economically,
morally and materially, American
for all the Americans. ;"
A Bourgeois Remains a Bourgeois
Herewe end upon the only note ex-
pected from bourgeois opponent of
imperialism, humble appeal to the
spirit" of the Monroe Doctrine, a
surrender to its material, armed and
brutal force, and a fruitless plea of
equality for "all" Americans, which
means, in the lips from which it
comes, an equal share for the Latin
American bourgeoisie in the slaught-
er, the plundering and robbery and
exploitation of Latin-American
workers and peasants, whose historic
role in combination with the prole
tariat of the United States and I'M
der the banner Of the Communist In
ternational will be the forceful over
throw of all imperialisms, Yankee
and British, together with their
cowardly Latin-American bourgeois
satellites who abuse and betray the
rightful national aspirations of their
oppressed peoples.
