Patient Advises.

It seems to me that the patient
should tell the doctor the symptoms,
and not vice versa. Still, a lot of folk
ask me to tell 'em the symptoms of
this and that disease.
Now Mrs H. H. L. thinks am doing
much harm by advising those with high
blood pressure to forget it." and she
backs up her opinion with four cases,

French dressmakers you may find a
waistline that is degree or two lower

SUPPORT THE NICARAGUAN

OF Lit in an attempt to put an e. to
their unbearable conditions Of ruin, misery and

The pee. of Nicaragua are now fighting for
land. against the exaction of tribute by the big
coffee growers, against the exploitation Of the
United Fruit Co, that owns rich lands against
their government which is selling out the coun-
try to United States bankers and against Amer
ican marine rule. In this desperate struggle, the
inperialists OF the United States recruit the
support of many demagogues, charatans. and
"caudillos" who speculate with Wall Street with
the blood shed by the people of Nicaragua DR.

styled secretary to Sandino, are now appealing"
to Senator King for the withdrawal of Amer
lean marines, assuring him that "Sandino would
lay down arms and our country would be COM
pletely pacified If the marines are withdrawn"
In the first place, Senator King is no more In
terested in the withdrawal of marines from Mica
ragua than he is for the independence of Haiti
of which he so demagogically tries to fool the
Haitian masses as a sponsor" of their .inde-
pendence. These Latin American lackeys of i'm
perialism do not and cannot speak for the op-
pressed people of Nicaragua. In spite of the
fact that the Army Of Liberation has no pro-

sort to the armed struggle In which they find

the peasants fight for their national liberation.
In spite of the basic shortcomings particularly,
the tendency to compromise with imperialism.
Yankee or British, by Sandino himself, the sup

taking place The actual course of development
has exposed the cspitulating character of the
Right opportunist deviation and smashed its
prophecies. II any danger threatened the

not from the economic policy adopted by the

The National Colonial Theses Are Now Available
The great work of Lenin and other BoIshevik
leaders on the National and Colonial questions
which was crystallized in the theses adopted bv
the II Congress of the Communist International
has not recently been available in English In
order to meet this need the COMMUNIST in its
January number which IS low off the press has
reprinted the theses so that all who are interested
will have an opportunity to secure these historic
documents
AS the revolutionary wave develops In the Latin
American colonies and semi-colonial countries.
in China. india and other parts of the world,
these questions become of greater and greater
significance to every worker, and especially those
who are exploited by the same imperialists who
are brutal depressing the colonial peoples.
Lenin long fought the Second International
with its opportunistc betrayal of subject people,
and its cooperation in keeping them under the
lash OF imperialism. Even in our own Party,
the overwhelming Importance OF the revolution
ary movements in these countries has been seri-
ously underestmated. The analysis of the II
Congress clarifies and gives these movements
their proper emphasis.
The January issue of the COMMUNIST also
contains a discussion of Lenin's contribution to
the Nationa. and Colonial Oppressed, by Harrison
George.
