Plimson line with religious dissenters
and that the descendants of this hu-
man cargo still pull big oar in fl
nancial and political circles here, does
not alter the fact that American and
British capitalists are growing at
each other across the juicy steaks that
go to the stronger in this dog-eat-dog
society.
HAVING undergone fumigating
Al process since the days when muck
racking was in flower, Wall Street
now thinks the time is ripe to dis
pense with the services of flunkeys
and to directly tackle the job of solv-
ing the vexed Mexican problem. All
the regular capitalist publications en-
dorse the decision of J. P. Morgan to
appoint his right bower, Dwight w.
Morrow, ambassador to Mexico in
place of Sheffield, who conducted
guerilla war against the southern re-
publican since his, acceptance of that
post. Our unique Arthur Brisbane
agrees it is wise appointment and
furthermore says that Mr.. Morrow is
accepting the delicate post to oblige
his friend and classmate Calvin Cool
idge. Against such an inane observa-
ton retort is futile.
ME admit that Mr. Morrow is the
" right man for the job. Wall Street
is determined to plant its standard
over all territory intervening between
the Rio Grande and Cape Horn. The
House of Morgan has lent considerable
money to Mexico and its strong boxes
contain big stacks of Mexican bonds.
If the house is to make a profit on
those bonds the Mexican workers and
peasants must work steadily and the
country must be progressively stabil-
lied. There is nothing like man with
authority on the spot. Should it be.
necessary to distribute a little cash
in order to make Mexicans in author
ity see things entirely Morgan's way
it is better to have man on the spot
who will be able to talk money than
to have the suggested appropriation
come to Morgan via Sheffield or
Warren.
WHILE Mr.. Morrow is engaged in
" the task of shaking down Mexico
he may take an occasional stroll into
the Wall Street dependency of Mica
ragua where Nicaraguans are getting
killed and once in a while a few ma
rines. Reading the news of this
slaughter of the Nicaraguan people
in the capitalist press one would come
to the conclusion that the Nicaraguans
were guilty Of a henious crime in de-
Tending their country against the Wall
Street mercenaries. When marine is
killed the news is headlined, but ap-
parently the murder of scores of Mica
raguans does not matter
Il
INDEED, The DAILY WORKER of
L Wednesday last inadvertently con-
veyed the same impression when it
published Washington dispatch tell
ing of the murder of 20 Liberals and
the wounding of so by United States
marines during an engagement in
which 2 marines lost their lives The
loss of the two marines was given
permier position in the headline with
the Liberal casualty playing second
fiddle. The theory behind this pre-
sentation Of the news was, that the
American people could be more cas-
lily aroused over the criminal policy of
the United States government in
Nicaragua by featuring the death of
American boys in Wall Streets CAM
paign against small nation, than by
featuring the slaughter of natives of
Nicaragua.
UNFORTUNATELY parental grief
v over the loss of those two marines
will be mixed with patriotic pride thru
the belief that they died in the SER
vice Of their country. This foolish
belief will be cultivated by patriotic
associations and by official commune
cations from the government in Wash
ington. The names of Wall Streets
tools may be inscribed on tablets of
stone in their respective communities
and their mothers may be given gold
