Because the United States feels that the world is in danger of being saddled with a “proletariat oligarchy” it has taken cer- tain precautionary measures, such as threatening to make war on Mexico, landing troops in Nicaragua and playing a tool of the National City Bank of New York on the presidential chair, dis patching marines to protect the Chinese from themselves and| slaughtering batches of Filipinos periodically, lest our supply of| sugar may run low. | No sir, we have no materialistic interest in building a large’! navy.
