three years the right to refuse fur
Their licenses for selling alcohol, and
to close cafes, tayerns and saloons
on Sundays. holidays and pay days.
Advertising of wines and spirits
would be prohibited in public con-

would not be sold to persons under

Observation-Disclosures Ask U. S. Recognition

All they needed was equipment, and
time.
Americans Easy Marks.
From Paris later came confidential
reports to Washington from hard
boiled diplomatic investigators that
the Russian refugees were entertain
ing more lavishly, their patronage Of
the arts of the dance was more care
free, and their satisfaction with
Paris address more evident than be-
fore they had spoken eonfidentially to
rich ladies in America. Curiously
enough, tSey seemed to regard Amer
leans as fools.
No Publicity.
NJ. Jordania and his fellow Geor-
gfans in Paris have not passed the
hat in America in this way. Their
organization in New York, the eau
casian Society of America, represents
business men. Lacking grand
duchess with a following of senti-
mental contributors, they got virtually
no publicity for their efforts.
Representative Fish Of New York,
familiar with Russia thru travel, sug-
gested that recognition of the lost
kingdom of Montenegro ought to be
added to their resolution. He thought
this proposal to recognize the loser in
civil war on the other side Of the
world was about as reasonable as for
the British parliament to recognize
the independence OF the Philippines.
This last allusion was the more in
cisive because President Coolidge was
just sending an emissary to the Phil
ippines to prove that they are too rich
an asset to be restored to their own
ers.

State Department Gold.
Unfortunately for these friends of
the Georgian exiles, their appeal was
not smiled upon by the hard-hearted
state department. So chill was the
atmosphere in which the resolution
was received at that end of the CAPT
tai that no request was made for a
spokesman Of the department to ap-
pear before the. committee. Dunn
badze, the so-called envoy of this gov
eminent without country, had been
unable in two years of lobbying to
get into the same room with a secre-
tary of state, whether Hughes or KEEL
logg. ~
The fact is that the department is
looking forward to the day when it
will be dealing with the soviet union,
and 1t sees no advantage in giving
countenance just now to refugees who
have about as much chancesof recov-
ering power in Russia as the late
French pretender had of ruling France
from a throne. Ivy Lee, press agent
for Standard Oil and other big bust
ness interests, did not surprise the de-
partment when he recently opened
his campaign to convince American
business that Moscow must be recog-
nized. Diplomats have, wondered why
he did not get at it earlier.

such exploitation possible?
Standard OIL Rules.
Peru Is fast becoming an oil coun-
try. A few years ago the output Of
Peruvian oil was negligible but today
It Is already the largest item in Perus
exports. Standard Oil dominates the
Peruvian oil situation, camoufiaged as
the International Petroleum company.
This was stated openly in the adver-
Using of Peruvian bonds in connec-
ton with the latest loan by American
bankers.
Other American concerns that are
powers in Peru are the Vanadium
corporation, w. r. Grace and Com
pany and our old friend the Founda-
ton Company-not forgetting the
ever-present National City Bank Of
New York.
Foundation Company.
The Foundation Company has exc
cuted several construction contracts
with the obIiging Peruvian govern
ment and now has contract for paw
ing, bodybuilding and sanitation work
for some 80 cities, as well as other
public works, involving total govern
mental expenditure of some $5O,OOO,-
600. The 100000 loan fioated in
the United States in 1924 (out Of
which, incidentally, the bankers made
a scandalous profit was largely for

Gates. the Foundation company is do

Rritish-Amerlcan lmperlaIists Clash.
American Imperialism has not had
clear field of 1t in Peru. British
interests are still very great there,
and the British capital invested is
perhaps still greater than the Amer
lean. But altho much of the old in
vestment remains in British hands,
British influence in Peru is already a
thing of the past Wall. Street has
supplemented economic penetration
with political, to such good effect that
she is now undisputed master in the
land of the Incas. tff.icN

He is superintendent of the customs

American Collects Taxes.
Tax collection is now a function Of
Mr.. Cumberland's national reserve
bank. which sends out notices 80 to
60 days before taxes are due. If they
are not paid within 10 days after due
date the property becomes lien and
is sold for payment of the public debt
Thus Mr.. Cumberland is able to dis

World, at was not so. This explains
why the Peruvian government has
sometimes hitherto been late in pay
ment Of interest and sinking fund and
provides assurance that this will not
be the case in the future"
That was only the opening wedge.
Then followed the impressive visit Of
the American naval mission to Peru.
American diplomacy at Lima became
more and more dictatorial. The die
tator was dictated to. Finally he was
drawn into the imperilaist system of
Wall Street and Washington, with the
result that Peru is now practically
semi-colony.
cooIIe System.
American bourgeois liberal ladies
have been aghast at the cooIie system
maintained by British, French and
Dutch Imperialism in Asia and Africa.
But the coolie system is civilization
itself as compared with the "Ameri-
can plan" OF indentured slavery as
exempIifled in Peru and Santo Do
mingo!
With Central America and the s.
lands of the Caribbean in its grasp,
American Imperialism has been stead
lily feeling its way along the Pacific
coast Of South America. It is no ac-
cident that the Tacna-Arica episode
goes hand in hand with imperiaIist
encroachments in Chile and Peru.
Similar developments are at work IN
Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia, tho
Peru stands out as the savage, dram
attic example.
Imperialism Threatens Workers.
The workers of Peru have appealed
thru the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League to the workers of the United
States to join the united antiimper-
ialist front against Wall Street, The
American workers cannot afford to ig-
more this appeal. American imperial
ism stands like mighty Unsuitable
monster, with its 'fbig stick" threat
ening all the exploited Of the world.
