Hearst Is Getting Busy
AS Obedient Drurnboy of
Wall Street Imperialism
BY j. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

MHEN the war drums begin 10
w beat the Hearst press is always
up in the lead with its energetic
flag-waving. Hearst is now getting
busy as the obedient drumboy of
Wall Street imperialism.
1t has been so since Hearstism
in American journalism and Wall
Street imperialism first shook hands
as blood brothers with the break
ing of the Spanish-American war at
the close of the last century.
All during the world war the
Hearst press, no matter in what
city it appeared, occupied a con-
siderable portion of IT'S first pages
with long professions of the "stars
and stripes" The march is on
again.
By actual count, 1875 U. s. flags
constitute the hysteric lingo border
ornamenting William Randolph
Hearst's statement of editorial pol
icy on the Nicaraguan situation,
that appears on page one today Of
the Chicago Herald-Examiner and is
no doubt duplicated in every Hearst
paper thruout the land. Hearst ex-
claims, cat Last Real American
Policy at Washington"
The Hearst statement Is merely
typical of the rapid change that is
now taking place turnout the
columns Of the whole capitalist
press, no doubt partly as a result
of President Coolidge's lecture to
newspaper correspondents in Wash
ington, demanding that their reports
reflect the "fact" (Which is a lie, of
course) that the country is united
in support of the governments i'm
perialist policies. When the slaught-
er heralding tom toms begin their
monotonous beat, beat, then the
subsidized press lines up and adds
its pay-triotic note to the murder
symphony. 1t is no different now.
Arthur Brisbane, the Hearst edi-
tor, has been poking fun at the
Coolidge-Kellogg-Mellon diplomacy
in Central America. But that is the
function of an editorial buffoon.
Even today he plays this tune:
Uncle Sam is enjoying busy, al
most warlike days. BY special re.
quest his soldiers in Nicaragua are
protecting citizens Of other nations
presumably in danger.
an China the thing is more
serious. The natives hate strangers
as cats hate dogs. They are tired
of watching foreigners spend money,
having courts and territory of their
own and are glad when the time
comes to murder few. The murd.
ering seems to be close at hand.
uncle Sam has some of his ships
there and unpleasant news may be
expected"
Thus Brisbane prepares the mil
lions who read his column daily
for the active launching of the new
war that threatens. The "Hate the
Hum" of 1917 gives way to Hate
the Nicaraguan!" or Hate the Mex
ican!" or Hate the Chinese!" At
the same time the American in
vader is dolled ont in cloak of
pristine purity.
The Hearst statement, that puts
an 20. X" on Wall Streets ambi-
tons in any part of the world, is
therefore so interesting that it Is
reproduced in full as follows:
president Coolidge has deter
mined to maintain a firm American
policy in regard to Nicaragua. He
is to be congratulated, and the
people of the United States are also
to be congratulated.
"We have been weak and vacillat-
ing too long in the foreign policy
of our government. We have been
following the feeble policies of Will

political game which they believe will

after a trip of inspection In the Mid

Mr.. Bellows found that the alleged

and is minimiZed by the great range
Of such stations. In addition. he said,
licensing of hgh-power stations may
serve the purpose of causing the
smaller stations to drop out of the
broadcasting picture. which would in
his opinion automatically clear up
the situation
