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
