Report SANDING Ends
His Fight Against
Wall st. in Nicaragua

General Augusta SANDING, Nicarag-
uan rebel leader, is reported to have
capitulated to the government Of
Juan Sacasa, set up by the bayonets
of u S. marines.
SANDING is declared to have flown
by plane to Managua for a secret con-
ference at the Presidential Palace
last night, where he remained thru
out the night as a guest Of Sacasa.
He is quoted as making the following
statement:
Nicaragua entered a new era when
the last United States Marine left our
soil Our fight is finished. And this
enables all Nicaraguans to embrace
each other fraternally and be worthy
of the moral respect of the whole
world. We will continue to prove we
are capable of governing ourselves
The same dispatches reporting this
traitorous capitulation by SANDING to
the Wall Street puppet government
headed by Sacasa admits that there
was great excitement and indigna-
ton among the workers of the CAPT
tai over Sandino's capitulation.

DEMOCRATIC BRITAIN

Great Britain has always been
pointed to with pride by Liberals and
Socialists as the classic land of de-
mocracy and freedom of speech. How
often have we heard Hyde Park cited
as the place where JJu can say
anything and get away With it,"
Well, times have changed. With the
progressive decay of capitalism in
England, this Wanted liberal demo-
crazy has gone overheard. Workers
are sentenced to years in Jail in Bel
fast, Birkenhead and Glasgow for
leading unemployed demonstrations,
and noW--most reactionary touch OF
ala moSsbound, obsolete statute
enacted in 1861 in the reign of Ed
ward III, nearly 600 years ago, is
dug out to put revolutionary leaders
in Jail.
Tom Mann Llewellyn, and Kate
Duncan are not charged with COM
hitting any crime-even agoinst ca
pitalist lawsuit they must be gotten
out of the way. How does democratic
British justice do it? BY sentencing
them under this 1851 law FOR pre-
Sumption of the likelihood that they
will disturb the peace" In other
words, the very fact that you are a
Communist is proof that you will
disturb the peace il unmolested" and
into Jail you go.
Another capitalist legend Of liberal
ism smashed. AS the crisis intensifies
all the trappings of democracy go
into the discard, and the naked fist
of class rule becomes undisguised.

PLAN VET CUTS
BY ROOSEVELT
New President to Cut
Disability Benefits

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-While the
House yesterday tried to halt the pro-
test movement of veterans through
out the country by giving its approval
to the s066, 1893 ,634 appropriation for
veterans administration contained in
the independent Offices bill, move
ment was set on foot to have Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt slash $500, 900 900
to s4O0,0O0,0O0 from the veterans
benefits when he assumes office.
The Strategy.
The strategy is clear: while on
paper no cuts are being made in vet
Grams appropriations, the stage is
being set to have these cuts made by
executive order, with the fake lib
eral,' Roosevelt, groomed to carry out
Wall Streets drive against the vets.
Those behind the move originally
wanted to give Roosevelt dictatorial
powers in the matter, but it has been
decided to put across this robbery of
hundreds Of thousands of disabled
vets in accordance with the sacred
code Of democracy" Instead Of
making the cuts without consulting
Congress, Roosevelt will follow one Of
two courses, either of which viii re-
suit in drastic cuts for the vets:
He will draw up an executive
order reducing and eliminating com
pensstion for thousands of disabled
veterans, and ask Congress to enact
it into law
2-He will send a message to Con-
gress, asking it to give him authority
to reduce and eliminate the pay
ments, this authority to become a law
for the future.
Roosevelt and Wall Street.
The National Economy League,
Wall Street-controlled organization
Of democrats and republicans, which
has been leading the drive against
the vets has demanded that S450,00O,-
600 be cut from the benefits to dis
abled ex-servicen1en. Roosevelts
plan, therefore, will come close to
satisfying this figure.
Veterans throughout the country
are called on to unite their forces
and to demand not a cent of the
disability allowances and immediate
payment Of the bonus. The Veterans
Laison Committee, elected at the last
bonus marchers' conference, Dec. 8,
is now in Washington organizing the
fight for these demands.
