Imperialism In The Open


tors Of the Associated Press, in New York, the
choicest collection of capitalisms paid publicsts
comes out openly for the establishment of the hege
mony of the House of Morgan over Europe backed
by the full power of the United States government
He dismissed the fact that the capital has been
found to be peopled with thieves large and small
with wave of his hand. Corruption, he said, was
to be expected following such Outburst OF
patriotism as American participation in the world
war for the rights of small nations and most OF his
speech was devoted to glorifcatiOn Of the lords
of finance and industry who, according to thel
Coolidge code are the backbone of the nation and
for whom the American masses should be grateful
seeing that an all-wise providence had provided
them with such farsighted and generous rulers.
On the matter of taxes the president was quite
positive The rich must not be Disseminated
against in favor of the poor that he Opined, 'was
an unavoidable principle"
Having settled the question of who owns
America the president then gave more than hint
that this ownership should be extended to other
lands. He spoke highly of the Dawes plan which
turns the European nations into slave states upon
which the House of Morgan levies tribute and
hoped for the endorsement of this scheme by the
electorate
such gathering at time like this is not without
significance.
President Coolidge appeared before the AssO
ciated Press editors, not as the spokesman of the
American people, but as the mouthpiece of the
House of Morgan and every editor present knew it
1T is in this manner that the editors of the CAPT
talist press are informed of the tasks they are ex
pected to perform. In this instance the task is
that of convincing the American masses that civil
cation in Europe can be saved only by the assur
ance to the House of Morgan that the armed forces
of America are behind it in its project of establish
ing a receivership of European industry.
1t is a glorious plan that the House of Morgan
has devised. 1t is dream of conquest that would
have made Napoleon turn green with envy; it is
the most ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS use of
mighty financial power that the world has ever
seen.
For five and onehalf years the fnanciers that
made billions out of the world struggle have
watched the peoples of Europe sink lower and
lower into the pit of misery their rulers dug for
them. The international bankers have peered with
a cold and calculating eye at the commissions of
diseased and starving men, women and children
and have computed with seeming accuracy the
exact moment when it would be possible without
a great risk to bind them for unnumbered years
to the chariot of the fnancecapitalists.
The gold of the European nations has been flow
ing in a steady stream to the shores of America
our financiers have aided with it every band of
cut-throats whom they believed could weaken the
powers of resistance of the European working
class. They have made common cause with any
and every national capitalist group that showed
unusual ruthlessness and virility.
The time is ripe to strike they think, and so the
masses of America will again be deluged with
cleverly written newsstories and articles eulogiz
ing the unselfsh purposes of the House of Morgan
and blaming all the evils of which the masses com
plain upon the unsettled European situation"
Once again the American masses will be urged
to come to the rescue of a suffering world and to
place its salvation in the hands Of Coolidge,
Dawes, Hughes and other spokesman Of the House
CT Morgan.
1t is more than probable that the nominee of the
democrat party will also be committed to such a
scheme but not quite so openly. The bandits Of
American Imperialism will have more than one
string to their bow and If candidate Of either
Of the capitalist parties is returned in the coming
election the American workers and farmers will
be cast for the role of international policemen-a
police force that will be expected to enforce the
dictates of the rulers Of America upon any people
that revots against the payment of tribute to
House of Morgan.
The answer Of the workers and farmers of the
United States to this brazen scheme must be the
organization Of a mass party of workers and
farmers on June IL and the prosecution with re-
newed intensifcation Of all organization-on both
the industrial and political field.
