this majority" is only trick to
keep the Indonesians quiet.
Meanwhile this conciliatory policy
of the government towards the right
wing of the nationalist movement
has brought about a certain unrest
among the Dutch colonials, who
feel that they are living on vol
ca-o. Since the last uprising they
have been dominated by the spirit
of vengeance. Even the officials
have been affected. During the
session of the Volksraad last year,
the Assistant Resident, Meyer Ran
neft, who represents the Dutch
colonials in that body, urged the
adoption of strictly hostile atti-
tude towards the extremists. He
proposed the creation of an '"effi-
cicnt centralized apparatus" kind
of department for internal war, to
supply the police with "hand-
grenad les, machine-guns, etc"
Further, he said that the Dutch in
Indonesia must imagine them
selves to be in a continual state of
wa and consequently must adopt
offensive tactics" His method of
dealing with the "rebels" was
"Strike them down without mercy"
Racial Antagonist Growing.
The racial antagonism between
the exploiter and the ex-
plotted is the cause of this spirit of
vengeance shown by the Dutch col
Dnial civil servants. But such a
spirit only serves to promote con-
flicts between the government and
the people.
The Dutch colonial press has also
been very much alarmed. Nearly all
the Dutch newspapers in Indonesia,
especially "Het News van den
Dag" have been carrying on vim

President of "Perhimpoenan
IndoneeSid"

Since the recent instruction, po-
litical events in Indonesia have
taken an exciting but hopeful turn.
On the one hand, the Governor
General De Graeff has made
change of front in favor of the
Dutch colonial capitalist group,
while, on the other his attitude has
stimulated the Indonesian national
list parties to consolidate their uni
ted front.
When De Graeff took up his post
Of governor general in the autumn
of 1926, he announced in the Volks-
raad-the so-called National Coun-
Gil, which is anything but a council
of the people-that the general line
of his policy would be to restore the
confidence of the people in the gov
eminent. This was an indirect re-
pudiation of the reactionary rule of
his predecessor, Fock. He criticized
in general terms the procedure that
had been adopted in combating
Communism because, he said, it had
degenerated into systematic per-
secution. And with regard to the
nationalist movement, he said that
he would not be Dutch patriot if
he did not appreciate the national
aspirations of the Indonesians.
Deport Leader.
But the soft ethical" hand of
Jonkheer De Graeff came down
more heavily than the mailed fist
of the tyrant Fock. for after the
failure of the uprising the people
of Indoesnia were delivered over to
the unlimited arbitrariness of the
government. Hundreds of so-called
ringleaders were departed without
trial to Upper Digoul, an unhealthy,
swampy district int the barren
wilderness of New Guinea. Many
of them have since Become victims

those who are at this moment in
Jail, awaiting deportation to the
Siberia of the Indonesians.
At the opening session of the
Volksraad last year, the Governor
General De Graeff spoke of the pos
sibility of there being large num-
Der of innocent persons among those
exiled. Now the colonial minister
declares in the Dutch parliament
that conscientious" inquiries will
be made as to how many innocent
persons have been unwittingly de-
ported to Upper Digoul This is a
cheap excuse for a government
which governs the colony in the
most arbitrary manner possible;
while the oppressed people are I'M
able to bring the government to ac-
count.
During the session of the Volks-
raad De Graeff, still under the in
fluence of the aforementioned up
rising, declared that the government
will "exterminate Communism, L."
while at the same time he expressed
his willingness to tolerate and even
encourage the existence of a pure
nationalist movement, but only as
long as it took up a conciliatory and
loyal attitude towards the govern
ment. And in order to win the sup
port of the moderate elements in the
nationalist movement the govern
ment proposed a law, which, con-
trary to the present position. will
give the Indonesians majority in
the Volksraad-in which case the
council will consist of 30 Indones-
ians, 25 Dutch and 5 foreign Orien-
tails. In the meantime no change
has been made in the electoral sys-
tenn, which always guarantees the
government majority in the Volks-
-aad, whatever it racial proportion

Lewis has declared Walker
president Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor ineligible as a
candidate for International Pres
ident of the U. NJ. W. A. Quoting
Section 1, Article 8 of the Consti-
tuition, Lewis has informed him that
"You are not employed at our trade
and have no official connection with
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea as required by law"
Pretty tough for a manipulation
of Constitutions to have the Consti-
tuition used against himl So
Walker is shedding tears and com
planning or discrimination and il
legality.
Walker is being pushed for the
office of President, in order to fool
somes miners into thinking that the
I. NJ. w. a. can be saved, that
there is no need of new union.
Lewis seems to be fighting back.
Whether this is stage play or not
will be seen later.
Admits U. NJ. W. A. Broken.
Walker writes to a local union in
Illinois: 81 have looked on with
sincere. regret and profound sorrow
at the disintegration of the U. M.
W. A. in recent years. There isn't
anything on earth that I would
rather do than to rehabilitate it and
put it once again on sound basis
in good standing with it's member
ship and with the people of our
country"

do to stop the disintegration? Not

a damned thing. You were doing
your share to undermine the labor
movement of Illinois by the same
policies that Lewis put up. You
were fighting the progressives in
Illinois, just as Lewis expelled the
progressive elements who urged
that the disintegration of the U. M.
w. A. be stopped.
And now you offer yourself as a
Messiah, as the Saviour of miners.
If the membership of the U. M.
w. A. couldn't save the union from
destruction by John L. Lewis and
his henchmen, what makes you
think that you can save the union
You don't intend to save the union
for the membership; you plan to
save the union for the bosses, for
the rotten official machine of the
U. M. w. A. Your hackers know
that the membership is against
Lewis, that the members are COM
ing out in greater numbers for the
New Miners Union. And you are
being thrown into the race as yellow
herring to stop the tide toward the
new union among the Illinois miners.
But this won't work; the Illinois
miners know your reactionary
record. 1t won't work. The New
Miners Union will be built.

ment to hang without trial anyone
who opposed it. Cord is cheaper"
said the "Java Bode," in other words,
hang the "rebels" instead of exiting
or puttive them in Jail. Finally,
"Het Meas van den Dag" said that
such method correspondent more
closely to the Dutch idea of justice
for Indonesians.
Notwithstanding the provisions
of the penal code making it punish
able to disseminate race hatred, the
Dutch colonial press can insult In
donesians daily with impunity. The
"Het Neiuws van den Dag" went
even so far as to write to the Gov
ernor-General the following: go
away! Make room for another! You
are an honest man with good inten-
tions, but what the Dutch East In
dies want at the present moment is
a stronger hand than yours" Ac-
cording to the prevalent code of
Justice" in Indonesia such things
are tolerated, if written for Dutch
newspapers by Dutch journalists;
but should an Indonesian journalist
say as much, the penal code is i'm
mediately made applicable to him.
Many Indonesian editors have been
sentenced to several years impris-
onment for minor Offences" while
their European colleagues have COM
mitted crimes for which they have
never been prosecuted.

is the confession of Walker that he
didn't kick when unconstitutional
acts were committed by Lewis. Why
didn't you kick, Honest" John
Walker?
Here is what Walker writes: 81
did not even raise objections to the
employment of former President
White of the Miners Union to repre-
sent the international Union in the
South West, altho he left our organi-
cation to become a non-union pow
der manufacturer, and so far as I
know never dug any coal or worked
in or around the coal mines after
having started in as a non-union
powder manufacturer. Why didn't
you kick, John?
He goes on: Neither had I any
objections to his employment of
Butch James of Tower Hill to re-
present our International Union in
legislative capacity in Washington,
altho just prior to that time and
for year or more, Butch James
had been serving as the labor re-
preventative of the then VIGOROUSLY
non-union Mckinley Traction Sys-
tenn, and so far as l know, had not
worked in the mines to qualify him
self to serve in any international
capacity since that time"
Why should you kick, Honest"
