INVESTORS MONROE DOCTRINE

Inc world must be made safe for British in
vestors and outside nation has a right to inter
fere with Britain's task in protecting British lives
and British property in various parts of the
world" That, according to H. n Casson, London
correspondent of The Wall Street Journal, is Bri-
tains Monrote doctrine. 1t explains the presence
of at least 10000 British troops in Shanghai
The world must be made safe for British invest
Ors seeking rich profits by exploitation of Asia,
Africa and the islands of the sea! The world
must be made safe for the British investor even
though this involves war with great people in
process of organizing its own national life, even
though it involves an attempt to stem the over
wheming tide of human life sweeping on to ere
ate new civilization and culture!
That such a policy can be dubbed a British
Monroe doctrine shows the extraordinary revamp-
ing the doctrine has undergone since it was enun-
ciated more than a century ago to protect new
born American political democracy against an
autocratic combination of European powers called
the Holy Alliance. Yet that revamping was first
accomplished not in England but in the citadel of
American capitalist Imperialism
American marines are in Nicaragua to make the
world safe not for democracy but for American
investors. In fact wherever we find American
marines, or may find them in the future-Pana-
ma, the Philippines, Mexico, Peru or China-thev
VIII be there to make the world safe for Amer-
can investors.
In larger sense the world war was fought to
make the world safe for investors, British, French
and American, against the expanding investment
power of Germany. So the next great war will be
fought to protect British or American investors,
perhaps against each other, perhaps against the
great rising tide of a new social order without
respect for investors or for empires in which pr-
vate wealth enjoys vast privileges at the expense
Of human life.
Armies nayies, air forces, all the costly prepara-
hons for war exist, today, to carry out the capi-
tallst Monroe doctrine that the world must be
made safe for investors

PROFITS OF STANDARD on

How oil workers and consumers of petroleum
products are providing the Rockefeller Standard
OIL dynasty with the income to carry out its far
reaching schemes for world domination is shown
IN a report on dividends compiled by Pforzheimer
d Co., says Leland Olds, Economic expert. These
Standard Oil brokers report that companies COM
posing the old Standard Oil group paid cash divi-
dends for 1926 totaling $2OO,319,594
The 1926 dividends exceed by about $47,OOO,O 600
or 800 the dividends paid in 1926 which at that
time were record. They are more than times
the dividends paid in 1914
Standard Oil cash dividends for the first quar-
ter of 1927 were $55, 3,O56, compared with $40.

unusual indeed. The hardest hit the
grove owners had was in 1917 when
large number of the trees froze, but
since then, they have had an oppor-
tunity to plant new ones and get fine
crops from them. 1t generally takes
about seven years for citrus tree
to bear. Now they are taking care
of the frost by carbon stoves placed
one to about every four trees on
nights when frost is expected and the
trees survive splendidly.' These
stoves burning during the night make
a very pretty picture.
To take care of the "drops" or the
fruit that has fallen from the tree
by itself and which cannot be packed
there have been established canneries.
Grape fruit is very successfully can
ned this way and soon they believe
they can do the same with oranges.
The wholesale price of oranges
range from $1.00 a box to S4.O0 de-
pending upon their quality and ma
turity.
AS for wages and working condi-
tions these are of the best. Of
course there was a time when the
deflation came that carpenters and
building tradesmen were too many,
but many of them have now NOV
ed back to their old homes and if
there is any scarcity of work now it
is due rather to lack of material with
which to build. Building material is
expensive and hard to get in Florida
In the fruit groves the piclzers, who
are generally negroes, get S5 and Sc
day. But their work is hard. In
the packing establishments girls get
about the same while the season
lasts. And things are getting better
right along.
