BRITISH TEXTILE
WORKERS JOBLESS

LONDON, (FP). - The wooden
bosses, after threatening lockout on
the expiration of their contract with
the unions, have refused to negotiate.
The industry is operating without any
contract at all while the bosses watch
hopefully the maneuvers of their
friends in the cotton industry.
Unemployment has bitten deeply
into the workers. ranks. A fourth to
fifth of England's 1,150,000 textile
workers have been unemployed ever
since 1920. In cotton, whose exports
were normally 80 per cent of produc-
ton, the crisis is particularly acute.
Indian and japanese mills have
taken away the cream of Britain's
export market. Now comes the higher

favor of immediate battle between
cotton boss and worker--or surrender.

and friendly relations with worse
tyrants than Zelaya as ing as they
cooperated with the Amer can agents.
1t was claimed that Nicaragua was
bankrupt and needed financial re-
Mobilization. Another false plea
Nicaragua in its history never was
bankrupt; its debt was very small
and the payment of interest on the
same was punctual; the financial re-
Mobilization for which the U. S. stands
sponsor has cost the Nicaraguan peo-
pie many millions in undue profits to
American bankers and enterprise,
with a corresponding impoverishment
of the Nicaraguan people.
Finally, in some way or another the
Monroe Doctrine is brought into play
prominently but loosely in explaining
the Nicaraguan policy; another false
pretense. Nicaragua is not and was
not in danger of conquest by Euro
pean powers nor was there any
ground for thinking even remotely,
that such eventuality might happen.
There is no record of any difficulty of
the Nicaraguan government w j t h
foreign nations on account of debt or
by injury to foreign residents or their
property. ~.
Convenient Threats.
The pretended request of European
governments to protect the property
and lives of their nationals that re-
Gently appears in newspaper dis
patches is trick often easily ar
ranged for at Managua to oblige the
diplomatic agents of the U. S. gov
eminent. There has been no danger
to Americans or their property in Nj
caragua. These are facts prominently
brought out in the records of the U.
S. Senate investigation (secret) of
1914 and 1927.
Almost all the apostles of I'M
perialism in defense of the Nicara-
guam policy naively paint a back
ground of hopeless illiteracy among
the mixed races that populate that re-
gion thereby making a subtle appeal
to racial prejudice, the unspoken ar
gument for special concept of justice
and equity and special privilege in
dealing with supposedly inferior
brand of human beings. Both the
principle and the facts of the argu-
ment are wrong to the core. As a
Central-American state, in its in
fancy, Nicaragua can boast of the
abolition of human slavery fifty years
ahead of the u S. and of the early
conservation in it's political constitu-
ton of the principles of freedom of
speech, conscience and the press, the
inviolability of human life, trial by
juries and all the principles of modern
legislation that human beings at
tempt to practice more or less every
where.

the case of Nicaragua. Any dis
sector of average ability can easily
go through the anatomy of this dying
little nation without losing the trail
of the deadly Dollar Diplomacy that
for Is years now has been injected
into it's vitals.
The strategic situation of Mic
aragua for the domination of the
rich and important territory between
the U. S. and Columbia has ever been
the primary cause Of outside aggres-
sion against Nicaragua, first by the
English pirates who time and again
invaded the country on both sides
leaving a trail of blood, ruins and
smoke from ocean to ocean, then by
the English government which es-
tablished protectorate over the At
lantic Coast which the liberal govern
ment of Zelaya in 1895 terminated
and lately by the inroads of Dollar
Diplomacy since 1909 which cost Mic
aragua its bloodiest struggles, re-
cession in the path of progress and
untold political degradation of the
ruling classes and hardship to the
masses.
The control of the isthmian portion
of the Americas means, eventually,
under the system of economic i'm
perialism of the present age, the un-
disputed and permanent hegemony
over the Western World. From this
standpoint alone, the Nicaraguan
question, assumes worldwide i'm
portance, ESPECIALLY for the labor
forces which face the creation of the
most powerful economic empire in the
history of humanity that will exert
it's dictatorship, benevolently or not,
upon the weaker national units the
world over.
The Dollar Invasion.
1t is only upon landscape Of this
magnitude that the conduct of the
policy toward the southern countries
can be explained. 1t matters not that
principles OF human liberty, individual
and national, c6nsecrated by the
founders of this Republic may be
scattered to the winds or viciously
trampled upon; it matters not that
blood may be wantonly shed now and
the seeds of bitter strife in the future
sown; the spirit of Mammon is loose
and no outside power can stop it, only
the wisdom and power of the Ameri-
can people. Hence, tho undeterred and
skillful propaganda to explain awav
the Nicaraguan policy by boldly flash
ing false issues before the public in
order to maintain at all cost this all
important foothold. This is the most
salient characteristic of the situation.
Nicaragua was first assailed by
Dollar Diplomacy in 1909, under
Secretary Knox, under three false
pleas. The tyranny of the existing
regime; but in the long years that
followed, Secretary Knox and his
successors lived elsewhere in close
