December 16, 1922.
Dear Mr.. Brisbane:
81 note your paragraph this
morning about the United States
lending more money to Europe
and what the sad result will be
to the American taxpayer.
Il hope you will kindly con-
tinue paragraphs of this charac-
ter. They will help to arouse the
people of the United States to
an exceedingly dangerous situa-
tion that threatens them at this
moment.
"Some way the country must
be saved from these financial
drains which will in time reduce
it to the condition of the Euro
pean countries, or even make US
worse off than they, through
building them up at our expense.
1T is a matter of the transfu-
sion of life blood from the strong
er to the weaker. You may take
a strong person and transfuse
his blood into a sick one, but you
can go so far in blood transfu-
sion that while the sick person
gets we'll the we'll person dies.
1--WE can go so far in finan-
cial TRANSMISSION that we will
build up Europe and make our
selves the financially sick ones.
"This financial TRANSMISSION is
not made at the demand of the
American people, but at the de-
mand of the international
bankers, who make their money
no matter which patient ex-
pires.
1.-The American people do
not want to meddle in the af-
fairs of Europe. They have
repeatedly made clear in the
elections that they want to fol-
low the injunctions of Wash
ington and remain free from
foreign entanglements of all
kinds.
"They have had one expert
ence with European complica-
tions, in which they sacrificed
their sons, destroyed their
prosperity and loaded them
selves with burdens of debt
that will last for generations.
THE American people are
not so dull that they do not
now understand that Washing
ton was right and why he was
right.
THE American people voted
the Wilson Administration out
of office because President
Wilson promised to keep them
out of war and did not, and
because he followed the lead
of the international bankers
and tried to involve the United
States in foreign entangle-
ments through League of
Nations.
"Mr. Harding came into Of
fee pledged against the League
of Nations, and pledged specif-
ically in his platform and in
his personal utterances to fol-
low the policies of Washing
ton,' which were to keep free
from entangling alliances and
international complications.
Yet he no sooner got into of
flee than he repudiated his
pledges and entered into a four
power alliance with England.
France and Japan, an alliance
which will, at any day. involve us
in war when war shall arise
through the war-provoking, i'm
perialistic policies of England or
OF France, or of Japan.
president Harding appointed
George Harvey Ambassador to
England. Harvey was a Demo-
Crat. He had no claim upon the
Republican party. Neither had
he any claim upon President
Harding. except that he had rep
resented the international bank
erS at the Chicago convention
and had maneuvered to secure
tie nomination of Mr.. Harding
when the international bankers
