lars to such relationships as those
now prevailing in Italy, Hun
gary, Haiti, Chile, Venezuela and
Peru. Indeed it is now to the adj
vantage of the American investors
to see that these relationships are
maintained; otherwise American
loans and investments might be
placed in jeopardy. United States
foreign policy will continue to be
shaped not by any reference to the
essential democracy or lack OF dem
ocracy of the borrowing state but
purely by the ability Of the native
government and the native industry
to function along normal capitalistic
lines.
Capital and Foreign Policy
HOW does this export of capital,
IL this financial penetration, effect
American foreign policy? In vari-
Gus ways, depending upon the
strength of the borrowing country,
the form in which the capital is in
vested, the influence of the capital
exporter and a number of other fac
tors. But basically the policy of the
United States is, to use the words
of President Coolidge, that "the per-
son and property of a citizen are
part of the general domain of
nation, even when abroad" It's
policy is to use whatever force is
necessary to protect that person and
that property. This policy has al
ready led your government into
wars, interventions. the extortion OF
treaties; the occupation of territory,

By PHILIP FRANKFELD.

In the past six months, we have
witnessed the coming and going of
two musty youth conferences.
These conferences did not even
cause ripple on the surface of the
labor movement; not to say on the
masses of exploited unorganized
young workers. Like postum -
there's reason.
The Musty Mr.. Music.
The Music youth conferences,
those arranged by Brookwood, did
nothing more than discuss and re-
discuss the question of the young
workers. All talk and no action
was bound to end in failure as re-
CARDS the efforts of Brookwood to
take part in the organization of
the unorganized youth.
The Brookwooders exposed their
complete bankruptcy to do anything
along the lines of organization. Mr..
Music and his friends showed them
selves in their true role at this con-
ference-that of being more inter
ested in the friendship" of the
representative of the A. F. of L. than
in the practical proposals made by
the delegates from the Young
Workers (Communist) League, who
incidentally were not seated.
Youth conferences are no longer
a novelty in the labor movement.
The first working class youth con-
ferences were organized, and pushed
by the Communist youth organiza-
ton. The first youth conference in
New York took place 2 years ago
June. That conference was a real
step forward insofar as quite a
number of large factories were ac-
tually represented by young work
ers, and insofar as the message of
unionization was actually brought
to hundreds of young workers. The
League profited from this campaign
in the sense that the Young Work
ers Communist League was popu-
larized among the masses of youth,
and the League was able to recruit
many new members into it's ranks.
Lacked Publicity.
The shortcoming of that attempt
to do organization work was that it
was not brought to the attention
of the entire labor movement, that
