The price of our imperialists for the
development of the Industries and ma
tural resources OF the colonial and so
called backward countries. and the
price of American Humanitarian
help towards European reconstruc-
ton is complete economic hegemony
over all of these territories. The steps
already taken by the United States
government in helping capitalists Sc
cure firmer foothold in the Near East,
Far East, Latin America and Europe,
are only prelude to more entangling
alliances which are bound, sooner
rather than later, to draw an army Of
millions of American workers and
farmers "over there" to fight for the
safety and defense Of the foreign in
vestments of our employing class. The
tying up of the interests of a small
SKILLED section of our working class
with the interests Of the monopolistic
group of the capitalist class, is an add
ed danger to the welfare and security
of the whole working class and the ex-
