EXPORTING "OUR" SURPLUS
CAPITAL

Before the World War; Great Britain held first
place as an investor in Latin America with no nv
al anywhere on the horizon. Her S5,OOOOOOOOO
stake in the southern continent completely ecpsed
our 81 PAP 100000 of American capital in the same
region.
Now, with our foreign rade falling off by mil
lions of dollars each month"; perhaps can find
some consolation in the advance of our invest
ment position in Latin America. Since the war,
I'VE" have added $4S45 O0O,CO0 to the total held
in pre-war days, while the British have increased
their investments by only sSS9,0OOOOO giving
them but a slight margin over "us." The United
States has more money in Latin-America than in
the whole of Europe.
Of this huge investment more than half is in
Cuba and Mexico. Approximately S1,25O 100000
of American capital is invested in Cuba. The
greater part Of this money has gone into enter
prises that are of benefit both to Cuba and the
United States. For instance, it helps to supply

duced over here in sufficient quantities for Amer

don't give a boot for it. Those Eastern dudes are
always taking our money out of North Dakota and
spending it IN New York night clubs.
At first we nursed sympathies In secret
feeling quite sure that personal sentiments
were throw-backs to some unknown hi-Jackng an
cestor but after listening to the expressions Oh
some Others we were shocked TO learn that many
others were pulling for the bank robbers TOO.
You'd be surprised to know the number Oh peoPle
who have admiration for a frst-class bank roo-
Der. One who walks into bank and stakes ms
life against few paltry thousands which bank
may or may not have hand. This emotion PROB
ably dates back to that time when strong men
went and took what they wanted. Or maybe, we
have seen so MANY banks looted from the inside
with lead pencil, the looters freed thru special
laws that we have grown to admire the roDDer
who takes chance. Or maybe too, we nave grown
so accustomed to seeing laws violated on all Sides
that we have become calloused to law breakers IN

these things which causes US to inwardly root Ior

THE UNHONORED PROPHET

One hour before the Senate passed the 1880
Tariff Act, Senator James Watson prophet and
seer OF the Republican party and Ku Kluxer to
boot, thumped his desk enthusiastically and pro-
claimed:
81 ask my fellow senators to recall this predie-
ton IN the days to come, that if this bill is passed
this nation will be the upgrade financially
economically and commercially within thirty DAYS
Well, more than sixty days have passed. The
country IS now being told in cold figures without
any sustaining oratory, that the month of July
showed the nations foreign trade at it lowest lev
Ell IN ten years. 1t was thirty per cent below the
record for July, 1929. Our total exports sank
from S404 100000 to S269, 100000 while orr i'm
ports sagged from 1852 $50, COO to s219 600 600
American commerce with almost every country is
IN the doldrums more detailed figures show.
And that isn't all On the same dav that these
doleful trade figures released by the Depart-
ment Of Labor pointed to a 55 percent decrease in
per capita earnings of manufacturing industries
