MAKING A WORLD'S POWER The good offices of our department of state having been used by private banking concerns for refunding the public debt of Costa Rica and Honduras—each “in the hole” for $10,000,000 it is now proposed to help out Liberia with its public debt Our diplomats call this one of the processes of “making us a world power,” and the process works out like this Desiring to speculate in Rican or Honduras securities, our financiers get encouragement from our state department) to the exteft of an understanding that our government will! see to it that these discredited, if not discreditable, republics} carry out their obligations. Tf such a republic defaults, the process is to put a govern ment collector in charge of its customs houses, If the customs don’t satisfy the financiers first alluded to, our- government has to put on the screws still stronger by appointing some sort of a vernor general and sending a part of the nayy to help do the collecting If this collector and his 13-inch naval bu can’t collect for our private bankers aforesaid, we are in shape, diplomatically and immorally, to gobble up that republic Of Monroe} doctrine into a sort of pawnbrokers’ rule of business, and if course, under this process we convert the overzealous in collecting what's due our loan sharks, we may run into war with some other nation, as we came near doing But this means little to our finan We pl only in the Venezuela incident They don’t fight. food not some notable folks are the legitimate to ciers. do instances where they even cannon Indeed, ur financiers refuse fight, but there refused to let their dollars fight yot that our t all you've high-up loan sharks will not only use our credit to rope in those foreign borrowers, but they'll finally use our blood to force collections, if need be.

They have to hire her, and pay her. They do not have to let her go on the stage, but she must be employed and paid. The union no decrees, and the union dictates ite terms to the managers of the Yiddish theatres. Aa a result of the union's de manda, one theatre has been given over to moving pictures this fall and others may be. These are the terms imposed by the actors upon the managers Each manager must employ 4 actors who are mombers of the union; 14 chorus people, members 9 musicians, mem bers of the Musical clab, afftliat ed with ‘the Actors’ union; 10 ushers of the union, 3 dressers and 2 asain’ all members of the anion. It matters not what sort of a t dressers, these people must be on his week ly pay roll. He may produce “The Citmax,” with its four characters, in Yiddish. He must employ 4 and 2 assistant dressers. These Things He Must Do. He may prefer to ran his theatre without an orchestra, as David Bel asco does the Belasco theatre. It matters not. He must employ nine musictans. He may prefor news paper advertising to bill boards (the managers do, by the way), but he must nevertheless employ four bill posters. And what ts more, he must supply them with posters and boards to stick them on. Nor may the manager pick his actors, his chorus, his musicians or | his bill posters. He must take what the unfon gives him. And therein les the ghastly reality of the cho rus girl joke.
