After a long shut-down the Ford slave pen at Detroit is soon to resume opeyations and already the forces of men whom the Ford system has turned into human aytomatons are drifting back. pe It is estimated that Ford has spent millions of dollars on his mew model that he hopes will enable him to meet the competition of the powerful General Motors combine. But reports from De- troit. reveal the fact that much of the money expended by Ford is stolen from his former slaves in spite of the fact that they were idle. For years the Ford “social welfare’ department, or whatever they call the thing, has been inducing the workers to purchase real estate from concerns controlled by Ford. This real estate—workers’ homes—is paid for on the installment plan. During the slack period thousands of Ford workers were unable to meet payments, so they had to leave town and lose all they had invested. A Detroit press dispatch to the New York World of | Tuesday declare { “Thousands of men have left the city and others are existing | S. as best they can until the big whistle blo Many Ford workers have lost their homes on account of being unable to keep up pay- ments because of enforced idleness.” Benevolence pays the Ford concern very well! These houses, many of which are almost paid for, will now be resold to the next | wave of slaves that comes into the Ford plants. Of the million dollars a day spent by Ford at least some of it still comes out of the thides of his former faithful workers, many of whom resented . the suggestion of unionism on the ground that it would interfere with their rights as American citizens to work for whom they please. The opening of the Ford plant should be the signal for an intensive organizational drive so that the workers will not remain as the abject slaves they have thus far been. Pan-Americanism as an Imperialist Slogan. Professor William R. Shepherd of Columbia University, speaking at the Institute of Politics at Williamstown, Mass., told the participants in the round table discussion that “Pan-Ameri- canism has failed to establish a genuine bond of fellowship be- | tween the United States and Latin America.” He declared fur- ther: “As an agency of political cooperation, Pan-Americanism has preved incapable of realization as the Latin-American nations are so fearful lest joint action with the colossus of the north might establish a precedent for do all the intervening.” States in this apologetic form the real nature of the imper- jalist slogan of “Pan-Americanism” is partially obscured. But it is not at all misunderstood as far as the intelligent inhabi- tants of Latin America are concerned. They are aware of the malevolent aims of the government of Wall Street. Haiti and Santo Domingo, ravaged by American marines, are living exam- ples of what other nations may expect in the way of “coopera tion” from the imperialist giant of the north. The piles of corpses, furnishing banquets for buzzards in Nicaragua, testify to the murderous designs of the United States government against the republics to the south. The hope for the Latin American republics is not a Pan- American union with the United States as the dominant figure, | but an anti-imperialist anion against yankee imperialism. If the leaders of the Pan-American Federation of Labor were representatives of labor instead of flunkeys of the capitalist class | they would use that organization for the purpose of creating a} THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1927 For !
