Morgan Is Not An Agent of the Government;
the Government Is Morgans Agent

The u S. government did not appoint Morgan and the
other American member, Owen D. Young but unofficialy
approved and it is commonly said that Morgan in taking
the post of dictator to European nations nevertheless does
represent the United States government
Before they ask what is the status of Morgan they
ought ask what is the status of the United States
ment.
Attention must be given to certain important struc
tural change the of the United States at the
time of its biggest assault upon all for worddoina
on We refer the complete amagamaton of the director
of big busnessthe Trusts and the Banking monopoly
concerns-with the apparatus of the government.
Today the top of the structure of State of this country
practically and the the apparatus of trustified
industry and finance.
We have, now functioning in government capacities,
Morgan, Mellon, Hoover, Young and Morrow.
With the addition of a few names, these would
very nearly list of the rulers of the United States
list of the woudbe rulers of american Empire over
the continents North and South America and virtually
the pretenders to hegemony Europe Asahe entire
world
The passing of the hegemony over the capitalism of the
world in general the United States phenomenon around
which the mperas ntrgue of the capitalist world revolve
today The attempted establishment of United States rule
over Mexico Central and South America is the focal
point Of all presenday politics and military calculations re-
ang particularly to the Western Hemisphere at this time
When General Dawes and Owen D. Young were sent to
Europe five to fasten the Dawes plan upon Ger
many they were in reality chosen by Morgan with the
rubber stamp of Washington applied to their appointment
and this toward establishing the hegemony Oh
Wall Street European affairs When the messenger OF
the New York bankers became viceredent OF the united
States this logical product
The inclusion of Hoover in Hardngs cabinet in 1921 was
correctly considered at the time the inclusion OF business
man in political body and therefore departure from
custom Andrew W. Melons appointment to the same
cabinet meant the inclusion of central figure of the biggest
trustified business and finance.
Later Dwight W. Morrow partner in the banking mouse
of Morgan & Company was appointed outright the am
bassador-ntended to be in reality the
to Mexico This another bold step in the direction OF
taking over the political functions of government into the
hands of the masters dispensing with the Intermediates
of the special profession of politics Instead OF the Morgan
partner giving orders through Washington and through some
political underlng in Mexico City, the Morgan partner gives
the orders of Wall Street direct through his own person. to
the Mexican government.
Of course the election of Hoover the drecorgeneral
of American business to the presidency OF the United
States was the biggest step that marked the consolidation
of the apparatus apparatus OF trustlfled industry
finance and government The election OF Hoover who dur
ing his whole fe had been elected to public ofce
was quite logically hailed by the capitalist press in full
recognition of the merging of the dictatorship OF business
with the apparatus of State the national government IL
was the final eliminating merger IN period OF colossal
the of trusts with trusts the merger OF
s1per-trusts with monopois banking into financecapta
monopoly and-the OF the nancecaptast ogarchy
with the government.
Rt fhe appointmen of the partners and executives of
the fnance-capast ogarchy the political executives OF
State reaches dramatic cresendo with the open appear
ance of j. P Morgan the actual directing head OF the ex
perts committee PREPARATIONS Kellogg secretary OF state
of the United States that his govern
ment approves.
United States Government in this upon Europe? No,
IT would be truer say that the United States
is representative of j. P. Morgan OF course by Morgan
we mean more than this chief of financecapltaa we
mean the capitalist ruling class of which he the most spec
tacuar leader and symbol.
Reports are that the British newspapers are the only
part of the European capitalist press that fails to make
much of the event when this backmoustached Uncle Sam
openly appears the dictator attempting to enforce the rule
Of the American fnancecaptalist ogarchy upon Europe
It is easy to understand the fretfuness OF the
british mperaists For the drive of American ogarchy
for wordrue leading directly and rapidly to the coming
;mperast struggle between the British and American i'm

of the major portion of the world for expoatonw the
Wall Street oligarchy attain its end?
It will not 1t can and will plunge the world into the
hoodest slaughter of all time But out OF this slaughter
will come the overthrow of the United States ogarchy
What are the workers of the United States to learn from
this open the United States government as
nothing but the powerful apparatus OF the big capitalist own
rs Of industry and banks? This apparatus openly welded
in the hands of P Morgan head Of the steel trust and head
of the biggest international bankers becames openly identical
with the whole dictatorship of scab employers the whole
