natives-either they abandon cap
italism, or they cut wages if they
have to use machine guns, poison
gas, bombs and fame throwers
against the workers to reduce the
standard of living. The German
finance capitalists must again re-
turn to the League of Nations, must
again negotiate with the English
and American finance capitalists.
They must get loans again from
other imperiahst powers. They
must pursue policy Of expansion
of capital. This means they must
intensity even further the fight
against the already oppressed
masses.

/ The Two AmerlcaS-An lnterpreta-
ton. BY Prof. S. Duggan-Chsrles
Scribners' Sons. s175.
BY SAMUEL WEINATAN
Many a college professor has
taken his pen in hand to defend
Wall Streets robbery and enslave-
ment Of the peoples south Of the
Rio Grsnde. Professor Duggan Of
City College and Columbia Uni
versity, vino recently wrote The
Two Americans - An Interpreta-
ton" spread the ink over hundreds
of pages of evasions, distortions,
half-truths, and falsehoods. Since
it would take a book to straighten

Interpretation" space limitations

wages in American colonies and
semi-colonies.
The learned professor has this to
say on the subject: Because their
(the Latin AmericansD wants are
few and easily supplied, generally
speaking, they are content with the
returns which a little labor will
bring. Where labor is content
with mere subsistence there cannot
be the accumulation Of capital
needed for the development Of a
modern civilization. Even in the
Latin American countries that are
predominately white, the accumula-
ton Of capital is not a custom. The
lack of banks, the disorder that
so long prevails with the resulting
uncertainty partly explains the
tendency to spend what money they
make more freely than do the peo-
pie of Europe or the United States!
Up. ID.
Consider the above paragraph
carefully. Professor Duggan main
tains that Latin American workers
and peasants spend their earnings
instead Of opening savings or
Christmas Fund accounts in the
local banks, And why not? Be-
cause saving is not a Latin American
custom and there are not enough
banks to accept deposits. The
worker is satisfied with little and
does not want to work anyway.
Let us examine the professors
argument more closely. How much
does a Latin American worker or
agricultural laborer earn each day?
Professor Duggan, why is it that
nowhere in your whole book do you
state, either exactly or approx
mately, what wages are in Puerto
Rico, Cuba, Brazil or any other
country south of the United States?
The Monthly Labor Review, pub
ished by the U. S. Department of
Labor, is full of such statistics.
WHAT are the facts-facts which
w college professors do not care
to reveal? On October IS, 1882 the
American Consul at Havana, Cuba
reported that ION one we'll known
hacienda (plantationD laborers are
paid 10 cents a day-five cents in
cash and five cents in credit at the

now declined to 10 cents or even less
a day. f.. Other laborers have been
receiving merely means and living
quarters in payment for their work.
Wages paid, however, in 1882 axe re-
ported to have been the lowest since
the days of slavery" On the basis
of this official consular record the
blunt question before Professor Dug
gan is whether he or the Cuban
workers or anybody else can save
out Of ten cent wage. Is is pos
sible to subsist on such wage?

A Learned Defense
OF Wall Street Rule
Over Latin America

[ The Commissioner of Labor Of
Puerto Rico in his annual report for
1912 admitted that on coffee
plantations men received Is cents a
day, while the women were paid 10
cents. On fruit plantations where
work Is seasonal. only four months
a year, women earned IS cents a day.
Tobacco plantations paid 40 cents a
day to men and 80 cents to women.
Cigar makers in Puerto Ricsn fac
tories received 80 cents a day.
Nor is Puerto Rico extraordinary.
The American Consul at Para,
Brazil reported on May 5, 1882, that
agricultural workers received ID
cents a day with meals or Sc cents a
day without meals. Women factory
workers were paid 10 cents a day.
Skilled carpenters, masons, mechan-
les, and bakers earned IS cents a
day. More recently the Brazilian
Secretary Of Agriculture, Industry
and Commerce admitted the follow
ing wages per month prevailed:
Cooks, s7.20; typists, 7-2O; cham
bermaids, $500; messengers, 4.50;
factory workers, s144o.
IT would be an easy matter to run
through all the Latin American
countries showing wages at rock
bottom level. 1t is enough to say
that the examples cited of Cuba,
Puerto Rico, and Brazil are repre-
sentative. The figures given thus
far call for warning Since these
are official statistics the source Of
information is the boss rather than
the worker The figures, it is rea-
sonsble to believ. are an attempt at
whitewashing the colonies and are
undoubtedly much lower than those
given here. In fact no mention is
made of forced labor. However, even
the government records are sufi-
Gent to expose the ridiculous SLAM
ders Of college professors who i'm
terpret' Latin America.
A few words about the professors
mention Of banks in Latin America.
Workers and peasants do not save
because there are few banks. How
many banks are there in Latin
America? And who owns them?
Would the professor be surprised to
learn that there are 434 banks in
Brazil alone? (of which four axe
branches Of the National City Bank
of New York; Cuba, small island
with few cities and a small popula-
ton has 40 banks, of which 81 are
National City Bank branches.
Puerto Rico, also small in size and
population has 26 banks, including
seven branches of the National City
Bank, an arm of the j. P. Morgan
g. Co. interests in Latin America
which has branches in practically
every country in the western hemi-
sphere. The Chase National Bank
and the First National Bank Of
Boston. also Morgan afiliates, like
wise have branches in principal La
tin American cities.
While Professor Duggan pretends
that the Latin American peoples are
suffering from lack of banks, pre-
cisely the opposite is true There
are altogether too many Wall Street
and European banks. Latin Ameri-
cas- land, crops, resources, means Of
production. in fact everything worth
owning becomes a virtual monopoly
in the hands of the imperialists.
At the same time workers and peas
ants are forced to toll for starva-
ton wages. For Latin American
toilers the problem lies not in in
viting more bankers, but in driving
out those already intrenched.

A neat little business for the
publishers, movie magnates and
radio stations, by the way.
Colonel Ranken estimates that
100000 men will be ready to go to
war in one week at the cost to the
government of only twenty cents a

Pretty reasonable, isn't it?'

This house Is of brick, semi-de-

and two smaller bedrooms. The

plenty Of wall space where your

Everybody is talking about
the more than modern apart

NORTH CAPITOL STREET:

NORTH CAPITOL STREET:
A cozy little home on North
Capitol Street was just being
vacated when I was passing by
so I went in to look it over. It
was q six-room and bath house
with nice size rooms. A Sleep
ing porch, glassed in, was espe-
cially attractive and it is al
ways so essential in a home;
two master bedrooms and a
smaller room complete the Sec
ond floor. A new heating plant
has Just been recently installed
and the house Is in very good
location. Rental is 10000.
CHEVY CHASE, D. c.,
HALF A BLOCK OFF
CONN. AVE:
A room in a home that is
truly different. The room is
furnished in Early American
maple with all the necessary
articles Of furniture to make it
comfortable. The meals served
in this home are very tasty and
are carefully prepared and in
view Of the fact that this room
is in a home in the exclusive
Chevy Chase section, the rental
asked is most reasonable.
MOUNT RAINIER:
In Mount Rainier, Maryland,
I found real bargain for some
one. A brand new duplex apart
ment consisting Of six large
rooms and bath. These have
just been completed and there
is only one vacancy at present.
Each apartment has a separate
automatic heating plant. AS
Mount Rainier Is only about
thirty minutes from downtown
Washington, it is we'll worth in
vestigating. Rental is $4,000.
