Miss Piper to Summer School

Few young women these days
would pass up a trip to California
in order to attend summer school
after teaching the whole year long,
but such is the decision of Miss
Essie Piper. daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Piper of High street,
the winner of the Most Popular
Teachers contest in the Bangor

Miss Piper had $780, votes, the

Winterport with 1888. When
she learned that she could have the
money which the ticket to Californa
would cost Miss Piper decided TO

Pressure Isle, where she will at

American Dollar Diplomacy in Action ...:.::..:

East. The basis of this opposition is
not at present directly military or
financial. Russia is today no longer
an imperialist capitalist nation.
What the United States fears from
Soviet Russia is the following: The
very existence of Soviet Russia as an
implacable foe to all the capitalist
world powers is in itself challenge
to American Imperialism. Soviet Rus
STA is an inspiration to the weaker
and exploited nationalities Of Asia to
revolt against their European and
American capitalist oppressors.
American European policy has not
yet assumed a definite character. In
the main our financiers and industri-
alists have been pursuing policy of
watchful waiting to jump in at the
most appropriate moment when the
best bargain could be struck with a
bankrupt Europe. American imperi-
alism wants it's pound Of flesh here
and is only waiting for the moment
when it can get this with the least
effort and at the smallest price. A
broken down, bankrupt Europe would
virtually be coolie colony in the
hands Of American exploiters. The
fate that has befallen Austria is a
fate that Wall Street would have
overwhelm the rest of Europe.
Our capitalists fear the influence OF
Soviet Russia in European powers
They feel that the de jure recogni-
ton of Russia in the fold Of European
political and commercial relations
would interfere with this plan. There

NEW YORK, April 2S.-"We cannot

ARTICLE vi
Our Foreign Policy

The Latin American countries form
the natural Linterland for Americas
surplus capital and new sources of
raw material. Observers Of recent
developments in the field of world
politics have pointed out that there is
a spirited competition for favor and
trade of South American republics by
the leading imperialist powers. The
following are new developments in
this sphere Of international competi-
ton. Great Britain has dispatched
a financial commission from South
hampton to South American countries
to recommend loans. France has a
military commission in Argentina,
and seeks to extend her power and in
duence. Italy and Spain have enter
ed into understanding whereby they
will go after a share of South Anne
rican business, and will combat
efforts of France and possibly Great
J Britain. The United States has for
\ some time maintained a naval com
mission in Brazil and Peru, and late
this month will send to Peru Lieuten
ant H. B. Grow to build up an avia
ton unit.
Dollar diplomacy is no longer squirm
ed at or camoufiaged by the spokes
men and diplomats Of American i'm
perialism. Secretary Of State Hughes
recently lauded the Monroe Doctrine
before the American Bar Association
as the greatest safeguard to peace
and security for the Latin American
countries. But perhaps the most whole
hearted Endorsement of dollar diplo
macy as a panacea was made by The
millionaire engineer and former chair
man of the Federal Coal Commission
John Hays Hammond before the Anne
rican Management Association OF
October 8, 1922. Tersely expressed
Mr.. Hammond's program might b'
summed up as follows: "A few mer
from the United States with higf
commercial ability and business
acumen, scattered in the capitals thru
out the world, would be able, to cree
economic safeguard to capital t.
which would send a stream of Anne
rican money into the far corners O

the earth, developing unused resourc-
es, vastly increasing the total inter-
national productivity and raising the
standard Of living for civilized men"
At this conference Mr. Hammond laid
down the IA points Of dollar diplo-
macy.
But the United States is not salts
fed with the field afforded it by COM
plete hegemony over the South and
Central American countries. America
has been steadily turning to Far East.
Addressing the Senate on February,
1928, late President Harding said;
I'VE have seen the eyes Of the world
turn to the Pacific. With Europe
PROSTATE and penitent none feared
the likelihood Of early conflict there.
But the Pacific had its menaces and
they deeply concerned us. Our terri
torial interests are larger there. It's
waters are not strange to us; it's
farther shores not unknown to our
citizens" There is no question that
the French-Indo Chinese empire tho
Of tremendous size, is at present not
menace to American imperialists in
this sphere of influence. Only Eng
land and Japan when allied are a
menace to American interests here.
American imperialist policy has been
to separate Japan from Britain. The
naval holiday offered by the United
States to the debt cursed England
was the price paid by America for
separating Britain from Japan. The
Four Power Pacific Treaty has at
least formally replaced the Anglo
Japanese alliance. OF course United
States does not intend to desist from
its program of getting Navy second
to none as, recommended by its Gene
raj Naval Board in 1915 and 1920. The
four year naval holiday only gives
America a chance to study the new
developments in sea warfare and en-
ables our experts to devise more in
fernal machines of destruction for
war on the high seas.
American imperialists are bent un.
der the guise of adherence to the
open door policy to establish undisput-
ed domination over China, one of the
richest labor and raw material mines
in the world.

the British labor movement deep vel
low and absolved it of any suspicion
Of Bolshevism.
Mr.. Thomas William Gillinder, the
plaintiff, was charged with having ac-
cepted the program of the Indepen-

the imaginative Tory sheet stood for
the bloody work and deeds of Lenin
and Trotzky and the murderous plans
of the Bolsheviks, prominent among
which were the naturalization of wo-

Henderson was asked, "When do
you think it is important enough to
exercise your industrial powers to en-
force your views by class warfare?"
Henderson replied that his party
favored such methods when the coun.
try was in crisis. Replying to a
charge that Bromley of the Locomo-

the lettering Franc and the political
head of their lackey, Poincare.
No sooner had the Dawes report
mortgaging the German working class
to the greedy and profit hungry
coterie OF international capitalists
been made public, than an open de-
mand was made for an American re-
ownership for Europe. 1t is signifi-
cant to note that this has been the
objective of the most conscious of
Americas capitalists AS far back
as October, 1919, the special cores
pendent of the Wall Street Journal
cabled from Germany to the effect
that there was but one solution of the
European crisis, and that was "a
straightforward receivership for Ger
many!" The same journal of high
finance had also suggested them that
Brigadier General Charles E. Dawes
be chosen to untangle the reparations
knot.
In the light of this trend of events,
the proud boast of the Wall Street
Journal of April II, is enlightening:
"The essence of the Dawes report,
the one possible means by which it's
suggestions can be carried out, is a
receivership." OF course, a receiver
ship for Europe today means an Anne
rican receivership. The proposed
5000, 10000 loan to Germany to help
the sterilization of it's currency will
prove the immediate entering wedge
for the receivership. About $1OO,OOO,-
900 of this loan to the International
Acceptance Bank about to be organic
ed in Berlin, will be taken up by
American bankers. Obviously the
policy of Wall Street here will be the
same as the policy pursued in Hun
gary where a Boston bankers attor.
ney, Mr.. Smith, now reigns supreme
as financial dictator.
This continuous encroachment OF
American financial and industrial in
terests on the natural resources and
industries of continental Europe will
in the long run, bring about serious
organized political and military op
position from the European countries
and our capitalists are preparing fol
such eventualities.

to this statement by saying that the
National Republican had read itself
out OF the party by its own attitude
The idea of imposing discipline
upon the members of any political
party as to their conscientious be
liefs and attitudes, he said, was to-
tally opposed to the spirit of republic

was proclaiming the doctrine Of the

would continue to accept the policies
