now throroly conscious and advancing
long clearly marked-out lines. Any
one would be fool who did not see
that the entire American continent is
threatened. For many years the Mon
roe Doctrine has been interpreted in
the United States as a general claim
of authority over the territories of the
this doctrine economic penetration,
however, in the form that it assumes
in Tacna-Arica, has been confined to
Central America and other regions of
the north. This is its first appearance
in South America. Tacna-Arica, there
fore, marks an important stage in the
development of American imperialist
policy. To ignore this or to neglect
to draw the full implications from 1t
would be criminal folly.
1t matters not that the step was
taken with the connivance of the
Chilean and Peruvian governments.
They sent representatives to Wash
ington on the invitation OF the U. s.
secretary of state, who in the language
of the Wall Street Journal, took adj
vantage of the outlook" Immediately
after the case was submitted for ar
bitration President Coolidge declared
that his ruling must be regarded as
final. When he decided upon a
plebiscite he made provision for the
widest possible extension of North
American authority over the disputed
territory up to the date when the
vote should be taken. And the practice
! of the succeeding months has plainly
followed the aim of perpetuating that
authority, of utilizing pretext after
pretext to extend it still further, so
| that the impress Of American inn
perialism may be left over the whole
pacific coastline Of South America.
THE North American approach to
l. the situation was excellently char
acterized by the appointment OF Gen
eral Pershing to head the plebiscitary
Commission instead of a diplomat OF
NJ least civilian. The significance of
his was partially blurred at first by
he fact of Pershing's prominence and
high rank, which made 1t seem not
unnatural that he should be selected
even for a diplomatic post That he
was a military man might, II was
thought, have been incidental. How
ever, the selection OF General Las.
sitter to succeed him proves beyond a
doubt that II was not incidental but
part Of a studied policy Even the re.
dictionary Chicago Tribune declared
(before the appointment had been
defnitel announced) that General Las
sitre's "whole character, training and
method make him unsuitable for a
post requiring the utmost diplomacy
and tact" No one could aver that
Lassiter was chosen because Of his
prominence. He is an obscure militia
rist, a typical colonial administrator
whose name first appeared in print
during the military occupation Of the
city of Panama. His selection for the
Tacna-Arica position indicates more
powerfully than words that American
imperialism assumes a colonial or

INSTINCT HELPED GIRL
MILLINERS TO CLASS
UNITY AND HAPPINESS
BY ESTHER
worker corrsspondent)

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb 3 - "Give
me back my scissors" cried little
Mary Ann teasingly to the girls at
her table as her nimble fingers ran
quickly over the stiff hats. But little
did she care whose scissors she used.
The fact was everyone was trying to
prolong the holiday spirit for this was
great day in our shop.
A great day It sure was when our
shop was organized, for among the
American-born millinery workers in
our shop the general reaction to the
mention of union" was one of oppo-
sition. But this time, due to the harsh
treatment of a little old lady, about
60 years of age, things have changed.
She was forced to work on those
stiff, hard hats such as we young girls
worked on. For us it was very diff
cult to work on those hats, for which
we were not paid extra. But for her.
it was very much more difficult.
Glass Sympathy Aroused.
When the boss made his daily
round, he sneeringly smiled at us
Woodworking girls. But one day he
stopped before old-lady Smith and
shouted DO you call yourself a mil
liner? If this is a sample of your
work, take your things and 60" AS
the old lady started to walk to the
cloak room, the best in everyone Of
us was reused, and up we stood and
left with the old woman worker,
shouting This must end!" And it
did.
The fight that had gone on for many
weeks was at last brought to an end:
Our shop was unionized! And that
was the occasion for a great day in
our shop.

poses Of American imperialism in
Latin America can explain-unless il
| it downright toadying to Imperialism
1t is picked up and repeated by the
capitalist press in the United States
to show that Chile and Peru cannot
possibly get along together, that only
the strong arm of American imperial
ism can assure order in "the troubled
region" The history of the Tacna-
africa affair from the very beginning
indicates what grave dangers lie in
losing sight of the real enemy in the
midst of petty squabbles.
Before the war of 1882 between
Chile on the one side and Peru and
Bolivia on the other, there was no
"Tacna-Arica question" These prov
inces were a recognized part of Peru.
The richly priced nitrate territory i'm
mediately to the south of them be-
longed at that time to Peru and
Bolivia. War was fomented by Amer
lean nitrate interests, in connection
with their determination not to pay
the duty of 10 cents per hundred
weight levied by the Bolivian gov
eminent on all nitrate exported thru
the port Of Antofagasta. Peru was
drawn into the war as an ally of
Bolivia. Chile was victorious over thu
allies and annexed all of the nitrate
territory. Furthermore, according to
the Ancon peace treaty, the Peruvian
province of Tacna and africa were t.
go under Chilean administration for P
period of ten years, after which thu
inhabitants were TO choose in !;

people. The Peruvian government
declared. in turn. that Chile was mere
ly seeking excuses to deport Peruvians
from Tacna-Arica and transplant
Chileans there, for the purpose Of
cheating an eventual piebiscite by
making the territory de facto Chilean.
Anyway the plebiscite was never held
. North American interests took sys-
tematic advantage Of the long-continu.
ed differences between the two South
American nations. National jealousIes
were played upon and stimulated.
Costly ornaments were disposed Of
to both sides. Diplomatic pressure
was brought to bear, now apparently
on the side of Chile, now on the side
OF Peru. For decades this went on,
the situation becoming more and more
hopeless. Meantime, the United

For the solution of the Tacna-Arica
