..:a Invasion and Mexico

yerv bitter in its criticism and Mex
leo is looked upon by the Latin Amer
lean republics as the leader of the OPP
position to the Wall Street program.
Two Excuses for Intervention.
The Wall eet-Coolidge-K Kellogg
policy in Nicaragua was justified by
administration spokesman on two
grounds:
First, that the Gales government
was giving aid and comfort to "Bol-
shevist plotters" of Latin-America
against the United States.
Second, that the canal treaty with
Nicaragua made it eminently right
and proper for the American govern
ment to anything it believed neces-
sary to protect its canal zone from
hostile powers.
Purposes of the Documents.
The Hearst documents are intend
ed to corroborate the wild tale with
which Secretary of State Kellogg re-
called the Representatives of the capt.
talist press services relative to the
"anti-American" activities of the Cal
les government, and which the state
department tried to force all press
services to carry as legitimate news
without the state department taking
any responsibility for it.
The Hearst forgeries also are de-
signed to prove that the Gales gov
eminent gave aid in the form of fl
nance and munition to the popular
forces which rebelled against the
Diaz-Wall Street dictatorship in Mica
ragua.
Some Facts.
That Mexico had recognized the Sa-
casa government which the American
state and war department crushed,
that it at least had as much right to
support Sacasa as Kellogg and Cool
idge had to support Diaz (are the
facts that are not mentioned by
Hearst and his war-mongers.
A New Stage in the Monroe Doctrine
This brings US to a third and vitality
important point: 1t is that the Mon
roe Doctrine has developed to a new
stage. Briefly, the stages of its de-
velopment are as follows:
First, that period when the Monroe
Doctrine served to justify Joint
struggle by the United States and
Latin-America against any European
power trying to establish its domino
ton over any substantial section of
Latin-America.
Second, that period when the
United States itself determined the
policy toward European powers.
Third, the present period when
Wall Street government not only de-
mands that it alone shall determine
the policy of Latin-American repub-
hes toward European powers, but
ALSO DEMANDS THAT 1T ALONE
SHALL DETERMINE THE RELA-
TIONS BETWEEN THE LATIN
AMERICAN REPUBLICS THEM
SELVES.
Stated differently, this means that
Wall Street government considers it.
self the sole arbiter of the fate of
all Latin-American governments. If
Wall Street refuses to recognize a
government, whether it be the gov
eminent of Mexico or the government
Of Nicaragua, it demands that all La
tin American governments follow its
example.
The Real Issue.
II, IN spite of its pressure, another
LatIn-American government recog-
nizes the offending regime, Wal!
Street government considers that ian
unfriendly act" and "a plot against
the United States"
This is practically the whole ques-
ton at issue with the Gales regime
so far as its support of the Sacasa
government was concerned.
The new attack by the Hearst press,
as were the previous inflammatory
statements of Kellogg, is intended to
notify not only the Gales government
but ALL Latin-American govern
ments that American imperialism will
tolerate no opposition to it's latest in
depreciation of the Monroe Doctrine
and the policy of domination and con-
quest based upon it.
