'tRed Headed Reporter" PrOUes
To Be Mrs. Clifford PinchOt
Former Governors Lady"
Works Hard at New
Job; Soon to Sail for
South Seas

Cordella Bryce Flncnot Is
taking seriously her new
job as a reporter. The ver-
satile and picturesque wife
of Clifford Pinchot, former
governor Of Pennsylvania,
haunts the galleries of the
Senate and the House and
attends press conferences IN
her search for material for
the weekly series of articles
she is doing for Universal
Service on Congress and
national affairs from the
viewpoint of a progress
sive."
Press Conference
She turned up the other day
at a press conference held by
Senator William E. Borah. chair
man of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and arch
advocate of an extra session OF
the next Congress for the pur-
pose of passing adequate farm
relief legislation. On that occa-
sion the Senator was function
ing rather as a foreign rela-
tions expert and was discussing
the much discussed Kellogg
treaty. Mrs. Pinchot took part
in the conference, quite u11-
abashed by unfamiliar sur
roundings, and did her best to
get Senator Borah to commit
himself in the matter OF farm
relief and the extra session.
But she Jared no better than
the regular group of Washing
ton correspondents, who daily
haunt Senator Borah's office,
for the Senator removed HIM
self from the role of author
ity" for any news by pointing
out at the end of the session
that he was not to be quoted.
Bears No Malice
There was at first some curios-
ity among the gentlemen of the
press as to who the new reporter
might be, for the magnificent red
hair which is Mrs. Pinchot's most
Characteristic feature. was almost
entirely covered by close fitting
black turban. She wore a plum
colored suit, with a bit OF FUR
about the throat.
In the autumn Mrs. Pinchot
made an unsuccessful attempt TO
convince the voters of the Fiji
teenth Congressional District in
Pennsylvania that they should
give her the Republican nom1na-
ton and elect her to Congress in
stead of again comforting ooth
distinctions upon Representative
Louis T. McFadden of Canton, Pa.
She seems. however, to have no
i'll will toward her farmer constit'
uents for her political setback,
as she is still an enthusiastic prop
agandist for farm relief measures.
Mrs. Pinchot's present activities
in the writing line will not con-
tinue very long presumably, for
she and Governor Pinchot are
booked to start in March on a
cruise to the South Sea Islands to
do some deep sea fishing and
some scientific exploration of the
romantic region so associated
with the name of Robert Louis
Stevenson. They will take their
young son, affectionately known
as 'the FISH" with them. and
will be accompanied by a group Of
scientists.

BEIROUT, JAN 25.-Twenty peas
ants have been arrested, several
wounded and many are in hiding in
the mountains as the result of the
attempt of large landowner to drive
the peasants off their lands.
The peasants, Palestine fellahs,
who have worked their plots for CEN
turtles, were ordered off the fields by
a landholder, claiming that he held
600 year old title to the land.
Bribed judges upheld the landlord.
A heavily armed police expedition
which was despatched to evict the
peasants was resisted and several
were wounded on both sides. Twenty
of the peasants were then arrested
and the rest took refuge in the hills.

FINN MINISTER
AIDS R0yALIST
BOMB THROWER
Pravda Sees Hand of
British Tories

MOSCOW, (By MaiD.-The PRAY
da" publishes two letters which the
Russian white guardist Baron Greven-
itz, who terms himself the Finnish
representative of the Russian monar-
chists, sent to the former Czarist am
bassador Giers now living in Paris.
These letters throw new light upon
the criminal activity of the white
guardists and their relations to the
governments of the Baltic States.
In letter dated the 23rd November
in Wiberg, Grevenitz reports that in
connection with the examination of a
number of Russian monarchists he
had been received by Relander, the
President of the Finnish republic
with whom he had long conversation
concerning the relations between a
future Russia and the Baltic States,
ain accordance with the instruc-
TONS" says the letter of Grevenitz.
Contained in the letter of Your Elk
cellence dated the 9Th August No. 500,
permitted myself to point out a
certain difference between our rela-
lions to Latvia and Esthonia on the
one hand and Finland on the other.
stressed the fact that with regard to
these former States, no measures
would be taken for their forcible re-
unification with Russia, but that
probably after a time Latvia and Es-
thonia would themselves express the
wish for Identification with Russia
on account of economic reasons"
The Finnish president expressed
doubts that a strong Russia would be
prepared to put up with an independ-
ent Finland. Grenevitz attempted to
allay the fears of the Finnish Presl-
dent and requests Giers to corroborate
the statements OF Grenevitz in this
connection through some document or
through letter addressed to him.
In the second letter dated the 18th
of December in Wiborg, Grevenitz re-
ports that his efforts to prevent the
expulsion of Colonel Grigoriev and
Lieutenant Schuezov have been UNI
successful, the reason for this being
partly, as the chief of police informed
him, the incautious statements Of
Grigoriev. "As far as Laryonov is
concerned" writes Grenevitz, che,
who threw the bomb into the Com
munist Club in Leningrad, the Min
lister of the Interior promised to re-
lease him in accordance with my re-
quest, and he is to settle down some
where in the country. In the final
session on this matter in the Cabinet
Council, complications arose and the
result was that Laryonov was ex-
PEELED to Danzig to enter where no
visum is necessary. At my request
however, Laryonov received visum
to return to Finland which he used
and stayed some time in Helsingfors. +"
Commenting upon the correspond
ence between Grenevitz and Griers,
the "Pravada" writes: "This corre-
spondence corroborates once again the
statements which have been published
in the Soviet press concerning the
support accorded by certain of the
Baltic States TO the actively polit-
zeal Russian emigrants. In these
States, particularly in Esthonia and
Finland, British influence is DOM
inant. Therefore recently the atti-
tude of these States to the Soviet
Union has been becoming ever more
hostile. All the more friendly, how
ever, is their attitude to the white
Russian emigrants."

, Inc absorption of governmental func-
lions is complete and leaves only the
carcass Of useless governmental
machinery in Nicaragua as an adj
ded expense and burden to that un-
fortunate people
Diaz of Wall Street.
Last year the Diaz government of
Nicaragua, which is nothing but the
agency of the New York bankers es-
tablished and maintained by the Y. S.
marines, proposed treaty with the
U. S. which embodied the essence of
the Platt Amendment, the Haiti and
Panama treaties.
This 1927 model combined in one
instrument all the features that the
experience of the last 80 years has
demonstrated to be of any practical
value ia making the political and
financial domination of the weaker
nelghbors easier. The u. S. was
granted the right of armed interven-
ton, twenty million dollar loan was
provided for to steal the arrange
| ment; the American Collector Of Gus
toms was continued and could not be
removed except with the consent of
the Z. s.; the Nicaraguan army must
be differed by American military; an
American Receiver and Financial Adj
wiser was created to con rol internal
revenues and Congress was restricted
in its power regarding these arrange
nd
concessions were reaffirmed. The
State Department seriously announced
that it would not entertain considera-
ton of the latter proposal, but
though apparently discarded, it was

Of unconstitutionality and political

but also throws a permanent barrier
TO the chronological growth of the ma

their natural goal. American control
over Nicaragua is the death warrant
of the lcng-dre&med-of Central
American Republic. 1t places Mic
aragua, by the ruthless methods of
force, under the tutorship of prof

to the innermost aspirations of it's
people; it reduces Nicaragua from
the condition of free state to less
than that of a colony. A government

Against the charge of backward
ness so unjustly flung in her face
Nicaragua can point with pride, as
the product of it's culture, to line of
distinguished sons, in letters, medi-
cine, law, music, etc. among whom
towers the modern Poet of the Span
ish language, Dario. Nicaragua be-
gan to build railroads and telegraphs
in 1880; later on, telephones, water
systems and electric lighting. In the
early eighties, her system of public
instruction N ational Institutes,
Schools of Medicine and Law, Nor
NAL, Graduate and Elementary
Schools) had attained enviable eff
cheney and deserved reputation.
Needed No Help.
All of this Nicaragua accomplished
out of its own efforts, without the
help of the New York financiers or
the State Department, without in
curing heavy obligations or default
ing the few that were acquired. All
this is passed in silence by Nicara-
gua's defamers because they are facts
that destroy their preconceived argu-
ments. After setting the false pic
ture of national desolation and bach
wardness they spring the all impor.
tant argument: Loans to the Nicara-
guam government by American bank
ers in order to develop the natural
resources of the country and elevate
its people to the requirements Of
civilization.
1t is an old song that has been on
their loud-speaker for the last
eighteen years and not one improve
ment has been accomplished, though
she Nicaarguan people have been re-
igiously paying the piper all this
ime, with compound interest. We all
now from past experience what a

curity, of the national properly:

venues, the means by which the

out of their hands all the time.

arrangement is carried out. To

Prestige and Honor"
The Nicaraguan politicians are now
confronted by the unalterable decree
of the Envoy of the President of the
U. S., Henry l.. Stimson, Who
solemnly decided to uphold the rule
of Diaz, the bankers man, by the
power of American bayonets, because,
in his own words "the prestige and
honor" of the U. S. so required it..
Blinded by the offer of 'free and
fair election" in 1928 or perhaps in
the helplessness of their position, fully
resigned to the inevitable, the politi-
clans of Nicaragua seem to be oblivi-
Gus to these glazing facts; that there
is nothing at stake in the coming
elections but the name of the next
President because the agents of dollar
imperialism, working quietly and
steadily, without moments loss,
have already taken from Nicaragua
all that there is to take, and that a
presidential election controlled by a
foreign power that has just imposed
on her illegal government, outlawing

force, is in the nature of things a
farce worse than any or all the
| fraudulent performances by which
dishonest politicians frequently cheat
the will of the people in every
democracy.
False Propaganda.
The official propaganda at present
is earnestly engaged in an attempt to
show that American intervention in
Nicaragua meets with the approval
and consent of the political parties
and the people in general, but they
do not dare move the large marine
forces from the Pacific side to crush

which is apparent only under the in
fluence of the Springfields and the
Thompson machine guns. Consent"
and approval" are evident mis-
nomers when in order to produce them
it has been necessary to establish
an extensive military occupation Of
the country, to seize all the economic
values of the nation, the army, the
central and departmental agencies of
government and to. Stay q number of
Nicaraguan citizens which is rapidly
mounting above the thousand mark.
Regardless of official sophism, the
right to political and economic indie
pendence of the Nicaraguan masses
and their future generations, is in
alienable and cannot be bartered
away by the politicians, whether by
coercion or in exchange for personal
advancement or vainglorious distinc-
zion.
