U.S. Land Office Notes Interesting News of Alliance Lend Office PUBLISHED EVERY WEEK THURSDAY, A PHIL 17. 1913 LA POLLETTE ON DOLLAR DIPLOMACY There have been frequent references In the newspaper lately to what la now commonly called "Dollar Diplomacy". Headers commonly understand the term to have some reference to this country's foreign policy, but. probably a comparatively small Bum bet undetHtiinii clearly Its signification and just what issueB are at stake Senator Robert If. LaFol ltte gives the following explanation, which Is the most concise statement on the subject which we have seen: The first important act of the Department of State under Secre tary Hryan la the rejection of the Dollar Diplomacy policy of Tair ind Knox. Humanity Is to be plarod higher than property In our international affairs. Patriotism Is to be given precedence over prof Its. National honor is to count for more than trust aggrandizement. President Wilson's two statements to the public concerning our diplomatic relations with Latin Aim rlca and with China both having the recommendation and endorsement of Mr. Hryan are virtually notices to the Wall Street bankers that our State department Is no 'onger to be used aa the am nt of hiKh finance and that the admin istration will not tolerate any further dragging of the nation's good name through the mire of sordid commercialism. The petulant resignation of Assistant Becretar) Huntington Wit ion. who was Knox'a right-hand man in developing the Depart m Bt of State into a business agent for a certain powerful group of specu lative bankers in New York, only lent, to eiiiphnni.e 1 1 - need of a omplete revt rsal of policy. There are other system "plants" In this Hcpart in Hunt thorn down and out. There wa need of u change. The nation s honor cried out for It. 'i war has our diplomacy been so debased as President Wilson found It when he entered the White House. Dollar Diplomacy Foroed tin resignation of Ambassador Straus, whoso celf respect would not permit him to hustle for railroad con sessions In Asia Minor In behalf of a Wall Street syndicate. Dollar Diplomacy presented th" alternative to our A-mbassador IHH of "bringing pressure to bear upon (iermany so that business onceawions could be secured for American capital," or resigning. He chos to resign. Dollar Diplomacy attempted to serve the Morgan syndicate in put Mng through the loans to Honduras and Nicaragua - placing the guar intee of our Konernment upon those profitable loans, so that In case payments were not promptly met our armed force were to seize the custom houses of Ihuue countries, and become the bill collector for Morgan Dollar Diplomacy traded the details of the construction and arm i nven t of our battleships for a con-Tact to build two Argentine bat tleships tliu converting the Stat department Into a business getter for the Steel Trust. Dollar Diploma d "iiianded bluntly of China that I share of the huge loan- slue was pr paring to Ret fictn hankers be giwn to the Morgan i up or hankers and loan be the nivalis of fastening W all Street control upon of China. Dollar Diplomacy (and Knox and Taft an pted tin hern wHh piide!) concerned itself wholly with securing concessions and con tracts of weal value in Mexico, St uth America and China, for Amer Ican syndicates and trusts, and lein.inu the powr of our government to these InteiistB to make their Investments secure and profitable. Dollar Diplomacy can.-d Mttghi fur th intenrity of Cliina, if only her railroad, natural wealth and trade were opened to the exploita tion of American speculators. Dollar Diplomacy had no interest in the manner or form of gov ernment under which oi-r neighbors to the southward niust live, so long as the wealth of these countries cont inued to flow without in terruption into the coffers of Wall Street. Dollar Diplomacy was crude, srrdid blighting to international util ity and nccjrd. It brought our scheme of government into e'.isnepui everywhere '.n the world. To i .'habilitate our diplomacy, to phK-e It again upon the high plane of John Hay's statesmanship. Is a great task and a high duty that confront Ftrea-liient Wilson and Secretary Hryan. They have made a beginning. It Is to be hoped they will go through to the end. The country Is in favor of driving out the moniey changers and opening the doc.- to honorable dealing and disinterested friendship.
