C. J. READ, A 8 P L A N P, L Ÿ W. MANAGING EDITOR PUBLISHEDBY THE ASHLAND PRINTING GQ J E R K I N S , NEWS EDITOR TI P IN Q S ■took com l E W M r & s s yesterday for an Indefinite çt*y. Following a long succession of more or less fictitious reasons why the United States govern ment has intervened in the domestic affairs of ‘Nic aragua, Secretary Kellogg has at last fayore^ u s with the absolutely final and true reason* It is, the slyly cynical phrasing of the Associated Press report, ¿‘the spectre of a bolshevist hegemony” in Latin America, incited from Moscow and, Mexico City, threatening the security of the Panama Canal, of our oil fruit, lumber and other interests every where south of the Rio Grande, and eventually, do doubt, menacing the safety, prosperity and demo cratic institutions of all the United» States. This is the same reason that Assistant Secretary Olds gave surreptitiously to the press representa tives at Washington, some two or three, wdeks ago, and that Secretary Kellogg, in a formal communi cation to the senate, later disavowed. It is now, however, the last refuse. As a justi fication for otherwise extremely dubious diplomacy it is calculated to win the, popular support that always comes when government appeals powerfully to the unthinlpng patriotism, the religious emotions and the fears of the citizenry. If all Central and South America is threatened with bolshevism and if only the warships and marines and gnus of the United States can stop it, the Man pn the Street isn’t going to be particular ly concerned about whether Diaz or Sacasa is right fully entitled to the presidency of Nicaragua; neither is a friend of his. He isn’t; going to split; hairs be^m© charges that Sacasa is himself a bolshevist, or that any bolshevist activities are re ported in Nicaragua. His government tells him that the reds are back of it all, that they are PlptHng t,o get us if we don’t watch out, that they are poisori- ous enemies of our homes, our property, our religion and our everything, and his natural reaction is three rouging cheers for anybody who lyill shpoj their gizzards ont. Fronj the immemorial ages that is the way imperialism has operated successfully, and that the makers of wars have been enabled to, command popular support, including, w h e n ^ M i f .n e e d e d , a plenty of eann'on fo4der. Not that, m this instance and at this time, fortunately, there promises to be an extended need for cannon fodder. In the unlikely, event that war should result, even with, Mexico, and Nicaragua both, it would be a little war, because they are weak and impoverished nations, helpless fyppnst the. might of the United States. The, regular army, the. navy and the marines should be a,bl^. to hrtudbtbem nicely—and lighting and dying is their trade. Tnere seems no reason to fear the draft, wffich cheering assurance will further exalt the Man on the Street’s robust patriotism. Bui while no regular out-and-out war, like the world war, is visioned, something else is threatened which if less serious still is greatly distressing. And that is the fierce intensifying of hostility to the United States throughout Latin America. While thiy may not be able to fight us they can hate, us— and hating is an occupation in .which they shine. When it eomes to unreasoning patriotism they yield the palm to nobody. Nor « that all. Our govern ment is telling them that oipr ipo^t dreaded enemy, our greatest fear, is bolshevism. What more natur al, then, than for their Man on the Street to jump up and crack his heels for the reiki, to gather the red propagandist, if he can find one to his arms as a long-lost brother! All they will need to believe is that every time bolshevism gains a convert our nervous secretary of state has another fit of shud dering. To heeP tom shuddering from dawn to- dewy eve and hack to red dawn again may well become their most popular indoor and outdoor di version. The situation is pne that promises to keep our state department in hot water for many years to come. It is one that promise^ to play hob with our large and' profitable trade with X^atin America, and to m a ke this position of our investors aud ex ploiters in its countries less rather than more secure. It is one, furthermore, that will bring rejoicing to the hot hearts of all our enemies of our demectqtic theories, of all scoffers at our peaceful aud altruistic professions, in every land that is seething with revolt against democracy. If iwlshcvism, or fascism needed anyone to do it a service, Secretary Kellogg, though farthest from intending it, has cheerfully oj^igrih- ^he question whether the course' upon which we have Umbarkcd was a ueoessary <»uv is water that has ran under the bridge. We are committed ASHLAND 30 Y w A|p puce«. V: ° f W » *U8iaess vla- Itor. In Medford recently, 8. E.
