El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1918-12-11

Aunque despues de la guerra
los gobiernos de la Entente y de
los Estados Unidos no apliquen
un plan de medidas ecOn6micas
hostiles a Alemania, habra en- con-
ira de este el 'boycotteo" conner
cial y financicro, obra de la ini-
ciativa particular y que podra ser
muy considerable Ell los primeros
amos de paz.
En- los Estados UnidOs funcio-
ma la "Sociedad Americana de De
fensa", que ticne una Comisi0n
encarGada de este asunto, y en- las
otras naciones aliadas sc ha crea-
do de dos aiiOs y medic esta par
te unas Glen Ligas, con ell progra-
ma de ''boycottear" las mercan-
cias, los barcos y los capitales de
Alemania. Una de esas Ligas,
imitada va ell Otros pafses, es pO-
derosa la de la marina mercante
britannica; sus afiliados Sc negaran
a tripular tOdO buque que trans
porte carga germanica. Lo que
agravara el ''boycotteo" que sc
prepara sera que no consistira So
10 el dejar de comprar, 81 que tam
bien en- dejar de yender, 10 cual
privara a aquella naci0n de cier-
tas primeras materias para sus
industrias no lie sera possible con-
seguirlas mas que EN- cantidades
limitadas en- los paises neutrales.
Y otra agravaci6n sera, que como
la acci0n hostil Sc eXtendera a
los capitales, cuando estOs Sc en-
pleen Ell empresas de las naciones
aliadas O de las neutrales los ne
gocios de esas empresas figuran
Ell la ''lista negra."
AL parecer esta guerra perju-
dicara mas a los capitalists que
a los Obreros. EstOs apenas emf
,raban ell estos ultimos aiios, pOr-
1ue tenian en- Alemania trabaiO
5ien retribufdO; la emigration no
.u6 en- 1913 mas que de 25 mil y
,1ico, cifra insignificante para una
aaci6n que tenia EN- 1914 cerca de
6S millones de habitantes. De esos
emigrantes vinieron los Estados
UnidOs doce mil, al Canada 1900
Y al Brasil solo 140; tres pafses
enemigos hoy y a los cuales no
acudiran pOr ahOra, nj pOr algu-
nos amos, los germanOs. A la Aus
tralia, otro pals hostil, no fueron
EN- 1913 mas que $50; pero la
America-sin cOntar con ell Bra
sil,-llegaron 4,SO0. En- esa parte
del mundo tendran abiertas las
puertas de territories tan vastos
y de, tantas riquezas naturales
como la Argentina, MejicO, Co
lombia Y Venezuela; y ell de Chile,
mcnos yasto, pero, tambien, rico,
no muy poblado, puestO que solo

Tambien habra algdn campo en-
aquellas naciOnes, como en- las
neutrales de Europa, para los ca
pitalistas germanicos que quieran
establecer industrias o fomentar
las .ya existentes; pero 81 los ar
tfculos que elaboran son exporta-
dos las naciones aliadas Sc ex-
pondran al "boycotteO". No les
quedara. a esos capitalists mas
lfnea de retirada que producer ex-
clusivamente para ell consume ma
cional y ell de los neutrales; y pa
ra este los favorecera ell hecho de
ser proteccionistas algunos de los
neutrales.
Bastante antes de que los Esta-
dos Unidos declarasen la guerra
a Alemania y cuando va hablaba
de "byocotteo" en- Francia y ell
Lnglaterra, le OF decir a un inge-
micro aleman que ha desaparecido
de la circulation:
-Tenemos los mediOs de con-
vertir la Argentina y Chile EN- dos
potencias industriales que no ne
cesitaran comprar muchOs artlcu-
los ingleses y franceses y que Sc
apoderaran para esos y OtrOs az
t1culos de todos los mercados de
la America del Sur. Las fabricas
estaran "controladas" por nues-
tro capital y los transportes Sc
haran en- vapores nuestros.

Obseryar que tOdO desarrOllO eco

Cuanto a las primeras materias
para sus industrias, los alemanes
no podran proveerse de elias mas
que ALI donde no esten "contro-
ladas" por los Aliados. Que no

bastante para compensar la baja

U. S. TAKES OVER PART

The first step toward Government con-

has been taken In an order Issued by
Director General McAdoo taking over
that section OF the Lehigh Valley Trac-

eastern division. including the lines in
Easton and Phillipsburg and from
Easton to Bethlehem and South Bethle-

This step Is believed TO forecast an
order prohibiting the carriage Of trolley
freight by the lines In question and re-

that a similar order may be issued In
