UNITED STATES IMPERIALISM

SCATHING ATTACK BY AMERICAN By .Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, July 17. A scathing attack on the United States’ imperialistic policy was made by Air. Benjamin C. Marsh, managing director of the Farmers’ National Council in the United States, at the conference on Imperialism at Caxton Hall. The Alonroe doctrine, he said, was not conceived from altruistic sympathy with South American peoples, but with the object of reserving them for exploitation by the land of the free. The United States had embarked on a definite policy of world financial and economic domination. * While most of the rest of the world was fighting for world trade and commercial supremacy in the years 19141918 the ruling classes, whose capital was Wall Street, not Washington, were cold-bloodedly figuring out on which horse to put their money. “Unlike Lord Beaconsfield’s opinion expressed after the Crimean war,” he said, “we did pick the right horse as a sure winner and then continued to ride both winners and losers.”
