ture. The article closes with an an
alysis of the perspectives facing the
American farmer in connection with
independent political action and the
class struggle.
The offensive against the left wing
in the trade unions is commented up
on and examined by William 2. Fos-
ter (The Struggle in the Needle
Trades) who explains the recent right
wing activities in the needle trades
unions from the point of view of the
advancing tide OF company unionism,
whether initiated in an open form by
the bosses or in a hidden form by the
right wing bureaucrats. From Com
rade Fosters analysis of the situation
in the needle trades conclusions are
drawn as to what the tasks and ac-
tivities of the left wing must be in or
der to save and vitahze the trade UNI
ion movement.
Another phase in the development
Of the American trade union move
ment is touched upon by Earl r.

increase in the rate of productivity in

very effectively the relations of the

riers, the A. F. of l.. and Ford to the

BY THuRsER LEWIS.

BANANA is a little country stolen
4 from the United States of Colon
bia because the United States of Anne
rica wanted to build canal thru 1t,
Nicaragua Is country little farther
to the north that the United States
also wants to build a canal thru. SO
the United States Is taking Nicara-
qua.
This ts not the whole story with re-
gard to either Panama or Nicaragua,
but the example of Panama serves
to show that the business Of taking
countries Is not new to the United
States.
The complete story is very involV-
ed. The United States wants Nicara-
qua for military, economic and polit-
ical reasons. These are important
enough reasons for any capitalist
country like the United States to
salve Its conscience with.
Military.
THE military reasons are the pro-
4 posed new lsthmian canal; the
United States naval base In the Bay
Of Fonseoa; the completion Of the
Pan-Ameriea railway, the Nicaragua
leg Of which has not yet been built;
and the use of Nicaragua as base
Of operations for the defense Of the
Panama Canal.
Economic.
THE economic reasons are that
L American bankers already con-
troll finances of the country and
need a government that will do
what It is told; mines, oil wells, tim
Der resources and fruit plantations
are owned by American firms; the
new canal and railway are also Of
economic Importance to United
States interests; and secure control
will make Nicaragua an ideal coun-
try for the further export of capl-
tai by New York bankers.
Political.
THE political reasons are that the
L United States must be assured
of a willing government In coun-
try thru which it intends to build
an essentially military canal and
one so near to another important
canal; control Of Nicaragua assists
the United States in checking the
spread of the Mexican anti-impe-
rIalst spirit turnout the rest of La
tln-America; and the country offers
a political and military base for the
acquisition of other Latin republics
when the time is ripe.
This explains why a little country
with a population smaller than that
Of Detroit or Cleveland and slightly
larger in area than New York state
can become so important.
A MEXICAN interference in Central
n America is an old story. The
present armed invasion Of Nicaragua
by United States marines is only the
latest evidence of an adventure upon
which the United States embarked
many years ago. 1t begins with the
Monroe Doctrine.
"The American continents, by the
free and independent conditions
which they have assumed and main
tain, are henceforth not to be con-
sidered subjects for future colonial
alton by any European powers" said
President Monroe on Dec. 2, 1923, to

Latin-America Balks.
THIS is duly resented by Latin
L America. Very few Spanish Anne
ricans have been fooled by the Mon
roe Doctrine. They may not have
minded 1t so much in 1923. But with
its Rooseveltian amplification and all
that has transpired In the passing
years, It Is hard not to see its true
meaning. n a
A famous Argentine publicist, Man
uel Ugarte, epitomized the attitude of
Latin-America towards the United
States In an open letter to President
Wilson just prior TO his Inauguration
in 1915
We desire that Cuba be freed. We
desire that Nicaragua be permitted
to become the arbiter Of her own
destiny. We desire that the abom-
Unable Injustice committed against
Colombia be rectlfIed. We desire
freedom for the heroic peoples of
the Philippines. We desire that to
Panama be conceded the dignity of
nation. We desire that Mexico
should not continually see the
sword Of Damocles of Intervention
suspended over her flag. We de-
mand equality; we demand respect;
we demand, In short, that the Stars
and Stripes cease to be a symbol
of oppression in the New World.
The words Of Senior Ugarte, utter
ed in 1913, are more true today than
ever as a picture of the resentment
OF Latin-America towards the en-
croachment of the big northern pow
er. s
Every Nook and Corner.
THERE is not a country in Latin
4 America in which the power of the
United States is not felt. Since the
war, since the United States ceased
to be a debtor nation and had fabu-
tlous sums Of capital for export, the
bankers OF New York have put their
fingers into every nook and corner of
the continent. Sugar, coffee, fruit,
mining, oil, lumber and most import
ant of all, money trusts and COM
panies with headquarters for the most
part in New York have worked their
way into the economic and political
life Of all twenty republics in Latin
America some Of them controlled out
right.
Revolutions and counter-revolution
have been started and stopped at will.
In Central America and the Caribbean,
marines have been landed to control
the course Of elections or for COM
plete occupation. In South America
the hand of the bankers works in de-
vious ways. The granting or with
holding of a loan, of itself, carries
with it great political power. Vene-
zuela dances to the tune of American
banking firms and Bolivia is owned
part and parcel.
