The Pan-American Union represents
the United States, not Pan-Amerlca.
The headquarters of the union is an
imposing building in the city OF WASH
ington. The director of the union
was professor of political science III
one of the most conservative universe
ties of the United States; was in the
employ of the United States treasury
department and has held other re.
sponsible positions under the United
States government.
The meetings of the union are not
congresses with power to make ano
enforce decisions, but conferences al
which administrative details are elab-
Grated and fundamentals are avoided
The Monroe doctrine, for example, is
not a subject for discussion at meet
ings of the Pan-American union. A.
one of the United States representa-
tives put the matter: "The Monroe
doctrine is not an agreement between
the various American governments
but a statement of United States poll
cy."
The Pan-American Union is also
statement of United States policy
How long will the Latin American re
publics accept it?
The question arose at the Havan
conference on the subject of interven
ton. During the past 20 years, tn
United States has sent gunboats an
marines to Cuba, Haiti, Honduras
Santo Domingo, Mexico, Nicaragua
has forcibly dominated the interna
affairs of these countries, and in sew
eral cases, NOTABLY in Haiti, MeXic
and Nicaragua has shed much bloc
before it could impose its will upo
the local populations. In certain case
Cuba for example provision for ii
tervention is made by treaty.
Is this right? Should the Unite
States, with a population Of 10000
600 and a big army and navy intel
vene in Nicaragua, with its $4,000
defenseless citizens?
Whether right or not, it is don
While the Pan-American conferenC
was meeting in Havana, Unite

Young Rockefeller's Only Virtue

the industrial world, exercised thru
his ability to give or withdraw his
support from the management of
of corporations, is limited in
his testimony concerning the obliga-
ton of a stakeholder. He said:
GAS a stakeholder in any company
want no officer in any company in
which | own stock. whether he be
high or low or an employee, to do
anything that | would not myself
be willing to do. ] am a stOckhOld-
er in many corporations. / am de-
sirOus always of using my influ-
ence in the support of able and
Trustworthy management and | am
prepared at any time to withdraw
my support from management that
no longer justifies the confidence
that has been put in it."
This statement, coupled with his
closing word concerning the creates
achievement of his father, SHOULD
prove of special interest to the min
ers who went through the Colorado
Fuel & Iron strike which eliminated
in the Ludlow massacre of 1914, t
the railroad workers who were locket
out on the Western Maryland con
trolled by Rockefeller, or to the min
ers now on strike in Colorado. Con
cerning Rockefeller, ST., he said:
perhaps the greatest contribu.
ton that my father may have made
during his life is not his philan-
thrOpies, but in the investing of
large sums of money in business
well organized that render useful
service to the public at fair profit.
with adequate wages to its en-
plOyes, with proper living and work
ing conditions. and with the insist
ence upon these relations between
employer and empiOye which recOg-
nlze one as a fellow man quite as
much as the other"
With the Colorado strike agains
the inhuman conditions in the Rookie
Teller Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. stil
dragging on in the face of organize
violence by Rockefeller minions. sue
statement must prove sickening ev
en- to decnet conservatives. But t
those with eyes to see and ears t
hear, it forecasts the eventual deca
OF a ruling Oligarchy of absente
owners, spending the tribute thei
agents collect.

u. S. WATERWAYS
DEVELOPMENT IS
URGED BY REED

DENVER, Feb. "a DISAPPOINTMENT
of a board of civil engineers to map
out program for improvement OF the
inland waterways as well as for flood
protection was advocated today ny
Senator Reed of Missouri, before the
Denver Chamber of Commerce.
It was the second address of the
Missouri democratic senator here and
late today he entrained for Albuquer-
que, N. M, on his presidential cam
paign to the Pacific coast. AS last
night, he spoke to large and at
tentive audience and he was applaud
ed as he referred to Denver as a
wet" city. But he again refrained
from a discussion OF prohibition.
Making the Mississippi and its tri-
butary rivers navigable as well as
controllable from floods was pictured
by the senator as one Of the nations
greatest problems and he said it was
time to quit "this pinch penny policy
and to launch an improvement plan
"even if it calls for a billion dol
lars"
Improvement of the inland water
ways would open up a new area for
the valley between the Rockies and
Alleghenies he said, and through
cheaper freight rates it would mean
the establishment of new factories
and business. He believed railroads
would benefit rather than suffer from
the move.
He said it was the duty of the gov
ernment not only to provide for navi-
cation on the streams but to prevent
floods and therefore to bear the cost
of flood control.
s'With every Jail of the land so
filled" he continued, "that the legs
and arms of prisoners are almost
sticking out of the windows, the
highways infested with robbers, with
bootlegging approaching condition
of extreme respectability if not opu-
lence with general defiance of the
law. it is about time that we begin
studying American problems and un-
dertake as a first step a vast scheme
of internal improvements.
Senator Reed received at his hotel
some of the Colorado democratic
leaders, including Governor Adams
and John T. Barnett, democratic ma
tional committeeman. The converse
ton, however, touched lightly on
presidential policies. The senator was
assured of friendly sentiment here
for him. Colorado democrats will Sc
lect their IL delegates to the national
convention at party meeting in May
and leaders say privately an unin-
structed delegation is expected.
Mrs. Reed and Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Meriweather of st. Louis, left here
with the senator on his trip, which
will take him also to Phoenix, Arlz.
where he will speak Monday, and to
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
