America's "Empire"
Davis, Royal J. | December 18, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Imperial Dollar," by Hiram Motherwell. Some nations are born empires, some achieve empire, and some have empire thrust upon them. The United States, according to Mr. Motherwell, finds itself in the third group, with moments in which it joins the second. Its empire is in part political, as is witnessed by the Platt Amendment placing restrictions upon Cuba and by intervention in Haiti, Nicaragua, and elsewhere, but it is mainly financial, as is evidenced by the role it is playing in the Old World.
