Kellogg Warns League
to Keep Hands Off
Continued from Page One

(ConbHlueu from rage one
maneuver against British imperial
ism represented by the League of
Nations, behind a front of declara-
tons that "of course" the League
will let the United States dominate
efforts to make peace, which are
in reality efforts in making war.
An unofficial statement declares
that on the question of the League
intervening in the Bolivia-Para-
guayan dispute, the United States
is neutral" and that the Leagues
business is to advise" the two coun-
tries.
Ominous silence is kept on what
America would do if the League of
Nations went beyond advising" as
its constitution provides it has the
right to do, and resorts to force.
U. S. Uses Cuban Puppet.
But U. S. diplomacy is malevol-
entity clever. and though United
States itself limits its diplomatic Of
fensive to declaring the League has
right to "advise" Bolivia and
Paraguay, it indirectly went further
by getting its trained dummy, Cuba,
to issue what amounts to a warn
ing to Britain to keep its hands off.
While Kellogg and Hughes were
entertaining the delegations Sunday
on an outing, the puppet delegate
from Cuba, Orestes Ferrara, who is
also ambassador from Cuba to
Washington, ostentatiously remained
at "work" in his office, from where
he issued a statement against the
League of Nations which probably
was written for him by Kellogg and
Hughes. Of course, and as usual,
the slater emit was full of 'urgings
for peace"-but made clear state
ment that in getting peace" the
Washington conference, in which
the U. S. is the absolute king, must
be preferred to the League of Ma
tons.
Monroe Doctrine In Action.
Cleverly picturing the Washing
ton Conference, which is nothing
less than the Monroe Doctrine in
action, as American solidarity"
Ferrara said:
at is useful to prevent the pos
sible application of the covenant of
the League of Nations, we making
unnecessary the coercive measures
stipulated in that pact in case of
war, and applying, in accord with
our continental system, the har-
,nonious measures Of American soli-
darity."
After the outing with the dele
rates here, Kellogg, Hughes and
/ Ambassador Morrow to Mexico, re-
NAMED in secret conference for a
long time,
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec.
16.-Out-maneuyered by the cum
ming Yankee imperialists running
the so-called arbitration confer
ence" at Washington, the Latin
American Permanent Arbitration
Commission, set up under the Con
dra accord in 1923, is literally rem
dered powerless by Bolivia, which
is absolutely controlled by U. S.
banks, refusing to accept arbitra-
ton by it, while accepting the Of
fices, in a modified way, Of the
Washington conference. Hence the
commission is considering ending its
efforts.
The action of Bolivia, while based
Realistically on the fact that Be-
livia signed, but did not ratify, the
Gondra accord, and on the arbitra-
ton limitations of the Havana Pan
American conference, which were
deliberately framed to suit Yankee
interests, leaves the Gondra Com
mission snubbed and isolated.
This is done consciously by KEEL
logg and Hughes, combined with
representatives of governments
which are servile to Yankee imper-
ialism. in order to freeze out the
Gondra Commission, which is
purely Latin American, and leave
the entire handling of disputes to
the tender mercies of the imper-
ialist conference at Washington.
