can countries will boycott the goods OF
American manufacturers who vote FOR
President Roosevelt's principles i'll the
next election. have been received by
several New Orleans manufacturing
firms. The circular. which is claimed
to have been drafted in Caracas, Ven
ezuela. on September II, reads in part.
American manufacturers who vote
the Roosevelt ballot in the next presi-
Dental election will be excluded from
South American trade.
President Roosevelt has said in
some recent speeches that the Latin
American countries are bound to dis
appear for two reasons. first. because
they are Latin. and second, because
they are small"
The circular then says that the DEM
ocratic party lis disposed to fraternize
with us and treat US on an equal
basis
1t says that III boycott stations al
ready have been esta blished, but does
not explain what is meant by boycott
stations. The organization is claimed
to be on military basis, entirely indie
pendent of South American govern
ments. and better organized than the
Chinese boycott.
The circular calls this organization

Apparently the circulars were mailed
from Son Jose. Costa Rica.
