Notes byihe Way

a. lioovnn in his ii-lrhaly visit

to South America, is not belnz met with a very enthusiastic wel- come. Distrust of Uncle Sam's sel- fish and domineering methods of interfering in the affairs of other nations is manifested in the news- papers of many countries, South American and European. Mr. Cool- idge in his rebuke to European na- tions pointed with pride to the fact that the United States “neither sought nor took" any territory in Europe nor Africa as the result of the war. A writer in the London Times points out that while that statement is true, before joining in the. great world struggle “America both ‘sought’ and ‘took’ very sub- stantial territorial and diplomatic guarantees for the safeguarding of her interests in Central America. Panama was before the War but Europe has not forgotten the en- gaging frankness‘ of Mr. Roosevelt when he stated:

"We needed Panama and we took it. And in 1916 Nicaragua was constrained to sign the Byran- (lhomorro Treaty in virtue oi‘ which‘ Nicaragua surrendered, by Article l, forever free from all taxation or other public obarge the unincumbe ed, exclusive rights necessary and convenient to the construction. opcratlonand maintenance of an inter-oceanic canal, through Nicaraguar terri- wry.’

And further, by Article 2, the right to establish, operate and maintain a Naval Base on the territory of Nicaraguan" being expressly agreed that the terri- tory hereby leased and the Naval Base shall be subject to the laws and sovereign authority oi’ the United States.

So much for the canal and naval bases in Central Amel-ica. The Lon- don Times correspondent goes on to tell that in the same month. Febru- ary 1916, while European nations were paralysed by the War; “flail” of like sinister import were made

Santo Domingo. and in the latter case, as in that of Nicaragua, arm- ed United States marines were land- ed and still remain. The Times cor- respondent concludes that when Ml‘. Coolidge returns to private life in March next, it might be worth while for him to re-issue his ll essage in abbreviated form, in which, after duly frowning on the greed and the armaments of a degraded and de- generate Europe. he would give pub- lic notice to the world “that when America ‘needs’ territory she takes it, and when she wants warships she builds them."

South Americans are not un-

aware of Uncle Sam's “bit; Slick" methods and his ambition to dom-

inate all Central and South Ameri- can countries wherever hc can ob- Lain a foothold. and their suspicion is the natural result of past exper- ience. ‘Ibere is a warning to Can- ada written on land and sea from the Rio Grand to‘ the Amazon, as well as along our own southern bor- der from the Atlantic to the Pacific. to beware of ‘the diplomatic andter- ritorial aggressions of Washington.

When Premier Maclean sought to carry the provincial general election in British Columbia he stressed the desirability of keeping the two Gov- ernments "in line," in order that he might unload upon the National Railway system the Pacific Great ‘Eastern Railway which is owned by the Province. and hangs like a mill- stone about its neck because of an- nual detlcits. He amrmed that he alone could remove the burden, im- possible to a Conservative Adminis- tration. But the ,. pie refused the big bribe and he and his Govern- ment were defeated. Then came‘ the Federal lay-election in Victoria. in which he was again the Liberal The bribe which the Pro- vince had rejected was increased by the promise of millions to improve the harbor of Victoria, and stressed by a force of four or five Ministers from Ottawa. But the City follow- ed the example of the Province and doubled the ell-Premier's defeat. The election of llr. Hoover seems to have quite mud Wall Street. Before the War the average turn over on the Stock Exchange had been 270,000 shares a day. In 1W! this increased to 1,000,000 per day. In the last week _,_in November. the enormoul total of 5,500,000 shares were marketed, representing a turn- over of stock values approximately a billion dollars a day. When the market broke. it is slid that hun- dreds of millions of dollars were lost by the speculating fraternity

Perhaps I should give some ex-‘ tracts from the editorial itself. s:i' that your readers may see the bit-I tcrnesis of the whole thing. Herc. they are:

"It would appear that; men. certain individuals, who have gained notoriety. not genuine fame, in'the sporting world feel that they are then quali- fied to lead n. people and t_o mould public opinion, such ex- ‘hibitiorls are only exposures of ignorance and the catering to an clelncnt. in whose hands power should never be placed."
