that eventually theyouhl
prevail upon tin? U u i t e il
States to compel the pay
ment of their loans, would
lend to the improvident
South . Americans abudant
funds, at exhorbitant rates
of interest, and their prof
fersof cash would be prompt

recoiling came, rJ'iinpean na
tions would fall the atten

the San Domingan precedent,
drop. a significant remark or
two legarding the probable
necessity of their using force
to protect the. interests of
their citizens, erediM)rs nf the
South American . h-publica,
ami ,n t his country would
be compelled to step in a
gain and again and play trie
roll of receiver for its insol
vent neighbors to the South.
Such a programme would
call for a large navy, an in
creased luuriuecorpsand oth
er expensive outlays, for
which there would be no pos
sible wa.v of getting from the
South American Nations or
1 heir foreign creditors.
In the case of San Domin
go it is pointed out t h a t
hardly more than on fourth
of the sums for which that
unfortunate ami spendthrift
country has obligated itself
were ever advanced to it in
actual cash. Loans of a mill
ion dollars were made on

ted h fifty per cent more,
and the intercut was ttxpd at
from 5 percent a month up
