grip on foreign policy.
THE special qualifications in TINS
connection Morrow possesses are
emphasized by the well-informed capl-
talist papers. The New York "orld'
for instance, says:
"Mr. Morrow long since ceased to
be merely a legal partner OF D. T.
Morgan and Company, assuming
broader functions. He was the
RECOGNIZED ECONOMIST OF
THE FIRM and acted more the
mart of the FINAN CIA L
SCHOLAR THAN THE BANKER"
The World also proves the appoint
ment in an editorial with the hypo-
crital heading: 1--WE Send Mexico
Friend"
"Mexico needed" says the World,
sand desired, an American ambassa-
dor who should be familiar with the
details of finance, experienced In
foreign undertakings, distinguished
by breadth of thought, and friend of
peace"
THE World does not bother to sub
4 nit evidence showing that Nor
CAMS partner is "friend of peace"
and therefore we may be pardoned for
our doubts since the greater part OF
Morrow's "public service" has been in
connection with military enterprises,
such as chairman of the presidents
aircraft board and as director OF the
shipping of army supplies and NUM-
lions during Morgan's war for which
he was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal by General Pershing.
In effect what The World says to
the Mexican people relative to Nor
rows high qualifications is the same
kind of consolation given by Governor
Fuller to Sacco and Vanzetti-the
privilege of being executed by an ex-
pert.
THE steady and rapid concentration
in the hands of the Wall Street
plunderbund of the huge profit-mak-
ing enterprises which have a direct
relation to military adventures, (Gen-
eral Motors, automobiles and trucks,
Dupont, explosives and chemicals,
/ United States Steel, etc. the recent
rocket like rise of the stocks Of these
! companies on the stock exchange,
taken together with the Morrow ap-
pointment are signs of the most sin
lister character for the masses In in
dustry and agriculture.
No substantial and decisive opposi-
ton to the Morrow appointment is
likely to develop either in the Foreign
Relations Committee or on the floor
of the senate.
pORAH already has adopted a "wait
~ and see" policy and shows no in
dication Of opposing the appointment
of Morrow on principle. Some for
NAL opposition may be expected from
the democrats since a presidential
campaign is just around the corner,
but the industrialization of the south
bringing with it the energetic entry
of Wall Street into southern politics
thru it's investments in water power,
iron, chemicals, coal, etc. rapidly
weakens the influence of the agricul-
tural groups and tends to align the
democrat politicians with finance and
heavy industry.
! "Progressives" like LaFollette,
/ Norris, Frazier, etc. and the lone
farmer-labor senator Shipstead, will
raise a rumpus but outside of Mime
sofa there is no mass party repre-
senting the workers and farmers.
Lacking clarity and organized ex-
! preston, the revolt against the Nor
row appointment will fritter itself
away in Intellectual protest against
the republican party machine.
TO the American labor movement,
to the exploited farmers, to the
unorganized workers, the appoint
ment of Morgan's partner as Mexi-
can ambassador is a challenge that
can be answered effectively only by
building and Strengthening the labor
movement and basing on it mass
political party, speaking and fighting
for workers and farmers and stub
bornly opposing at every point the
program Of progressive robbery of
the masses at home and conquest
abroad which the appointment of
Morrow symbolizes.
Morrow of the house of Morgan. in
Mexico City on his way to the state
department, means a ruthless raid by
the American ruling class on every
thing that stands as an obstacle to its
lust for world domination whether it
be the masses of the United States
or of Latin America.
