The Carnegie Lobby and
the Carnegie Attorney

Carnegie for international Peace enjoys
100000 derived from Steel Trust bonds set
aside for that purpose by Andrew Carnegie
Ehu Root Mr.. Carnegies personal counsel is member of
the United States Senate and also member of the committee
charged with the expenditure of the endowment fund
AS member of the perhaps Mr.. Carnegie
speech strenuousy urging that the Con
ges of the United States repeal the law granting American
coaswise ships the free of the Panama Canal
As the disburser Mr. Carnegie peace und-sha call
lobby undhe had $4,000 copies of this speech printed and
distributed The distribution public cost under Sen
Roots frank AS this saved the Carnegie fund something
than $1,000 postage may infer that this action Sen
ator Root acting Carneges personal counsel
month ago Senator German fatty charged in the Senate
that the Carnegie Endowment using its funds and its
to promote an alliance and Great
Britain for the individual profit of concerned Senator
Rooacting of his dual capacities angy denied the
charge when made in the Senate by his brother Senator from
New York personally offensive to himself
weeks testimony before the
Senate Lobby Investigating Committee leave Senator Root his
anger and his denial now?
only 600 copies of Root pamphlet
circulated million copies of another
designed for the purpose sent out The Carnegie En-
dowmen itself prodgous lobby with all that OPP
probrous word implies Britain will upon
Congress
This was of international Peace but the
RootCanegie idea of peace involve only educating
Americans accept British ideas and obey British commands
does include any effort to make inhabitants of Great
Britain the justice of the American position.
Like President Wilson the Carnegie Endowment sudOusly
refrains from stating the American position at all
The London Law Journal recently printed scholarly and
well reasoned article uphodng the American contention in the
Panama matter wide circulation England would
corrected the idea that great part of people indifferent
treaty obligations But this international peace the
Carnegie Endowment under the leadership of Root did
dertake
There speeches in the Senate equal
Roots delivered by who personal attorneys for
anybody but taking the American side of this question Their
circulation in England might have created reasonable
public sentiment there that would lend itself geto
geher movement the part of the governments But
work Of this sort done by the Carnegie Root press agents
They seemed be working less for reasonable peace
American surrender.
It quite apparent that the international peace sought by
this enormously wealthy corporation only that involves
repeated continuing progressive submissions by the United
States to England until Mr. Carnege idea new union
between the two countries shall be attained by the disappear
ance of the autonomy of the United States
To this end the onmaser has established great lobby
and institution for the creation public sentiment in Washing
ton has endowed with $0o00000o Steel Trust bonds pro-
vded with fund for the influencing of public sentmenco
loquialy called sush $500 900 per annum and
keeps his personal attorney the Senate give authority
TO his proclamaton of national subservence serfdom
We think the Senate might go further investigation
Of the activities Of the Carnegie Endowment 1t presents the
general appearance of very rich highly organized and wholly
unpatotc lobby for the undermining of national prestige
