POLICE IN RAID
ON TAXI DRIVERS

Swooping down upon number of
hack stands in the vicinity of the
Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, police
inspectors yesterday stripped" at
least four cab drivers, depriving them
of their rate cards, and held up at
least 80 others in continuation of
the reign of police terror which for
the past year has been in force
against the New York scab men.
Cab drivers in disclosing details of
the affair spoke in hesitating tones
in fear of the consequences which,
they stated, would inevitably follow
should the police discover the names
of those giving out information of
the raid. No special reason could be
ascertained for yesterdays police at
tack.
Without Warming.
Without warning a number of po-
lice inspectors lined up for ''inspec-
ton" about score of taxi drivers.
"We are from the hack bureau" the
officers announced, "and you fellows
are going to be looked over"
Objections by some of the drivers
to being thus treated as if they were
criminals, brought the familiar threat.
"If you say another word, l will
break you," the inspectors said, the
reference being to the practice of or
dering cab drivers to appear at the
Hack Trial Bureau where for trivial
cause or none at all drivers have
their licenses revoked.

DOLLARS PENETRATE
LATIN A MERIC A

How trade and foreign investment
go hand in hand in the expansion of
commercial empire is shown in a dis
cussion of the growth of American
capitalist interest in South America
by Max Winkler Of Bertron Griscom
q Co., investment bankers. Prior to
the war, according to Winkler, Amer
lean investment in South America to-
tailed only S10,OOO,OO0 and commerce
between the United States and South
America averaged only 1928, 100000 a
year. But the growth Of the invest
ment figure to approximately $4,000
100000 has raised trade with South
America to a yearly total in excess
of $1,00O,OO0,OeO.
This phase of the growth of the
American commercial empire THROUGH
out Latin America resulted from the
war. 1t is shown in more detail in
the Chicago Journal of Commerce bv
2. M. Atkins. His figures show how.
when the war practically shut off
European manufactured goods from
South America and dried up English
and German investment funds, the
United States assumed the lead.
Atkins finds that exports from the
United States to Latin America in
creased from 323,832,O00 in 1918 to
1886, $4,000 in 1926 or 1850 while
imports into the United States from
Latin America rose from SAB, 453, 900
to $1,044,526,000 or 1850. If we
take into account price changes it
appears that the physical volume of
U. S. exports to Latin America has
increased about 1870 since 1913.
British exports to South America,
on the other hand, have increased
only $50 in value, meaning an ac-
