Meetings: Fellowship of ReconciliationFellowship of Reconciliation, Mt. Vernon Church, Boston Oct. 30, 1930 [*paragraph*] Charles Thompson on his last yr's experience in Central Am. Scotchman decided to remain at home during summer & let his mind wander. Central Am & its 5 small republics Guatemala, abt size of NY, people mostly of Indian weave colorful things; then Salvador, Nicaragua; Costa Rica Panama Fellowship has made various adventures in this region Marines have been 3 yrs in Nicaragua trying to restore domestic tranquility I started with Centril Am a yr ago - went to presidents, editors, students, labor leaders - found wide- spread desire forunderstanding friendly relations in people of US - also found fear of US - Banquet w "Viva Sandino!" at each plate. To what is this fear due? Partly to Policy of armed intervention 30 times, in 9 countries - 17 yrs in Nicaragua-. Any American going down there [people?] [*paragraph*] John Nevin Sayre. How the Fellowship wages peace. - In [Cen?] it is no one elsedoing anything approaching our line of work. 3 yrs ago the Am minister in Guatemala(?) sd we were the 1st, with one exception, to come down there with interests of peace. We ran a camp in [Ab?anmergan] during Passion Play - had a lot of young people of various countries under influence of greatest peace play.Our [faternat?] Council met in Germany during summer Donal Grand of NZ was 1 of 4000 concientious objectors - Race relations [of?] 600 members of Fellowship in Southern States - Matthews - Howard Kester? - Interracial retreat of 30 whites & 30 blacks -Charlie Webber on staff of Union Theological Seminary on industrial warfare 4 fields Imperialism, nationalism, racialism, industrialism - trying to wage peace. Even in our mechanized world, personality is still a force, if you can get the kind of personality thro wh God shines - w courage, & sacrifice ¶ Nov 13 & 1420th Century Club Nov. 1, 1930 Nov 13 & 14, Institute of current Internat Problems University Club programs in vestibule ¶ John Nevin Sayre - Abt 3 yrs ago when US resumed intervention in Nicaragua & sent our Marines there, some of us were skeptical as to our ability to say "Friendship" to our neighbors through the medium of Marines - Peace org I represent felt we ought to send some people down there to say "Friendship" an offer hand & loving heart, & we picked out Chas Thompsonhis wife. He has degree fr Univ of Alex. speaks Spanish fluently, has been all around the Caribbean - ¶ Mr. Chas Thompson - the recent events in Latin Am, headlined in our press - recall [units?] sent to Mex & hold up on border, "22000 revs a minute"-"We don't want [em?] quite so often" - Bolivia, Peru, etc etc exit by rev route - then Argentina, & Brazil - tale is perhaps not all told serious interest in several other quarters. What can we do to stabilize em? LA rev=often acomparatively small affair, less loss of live gangsters cause in Chicao. LA [?]is wont [invol] engage in rev just for fear of it - real reasons - economic depression is blamed on gov't rightly or wrongly - where is neither freedom of speech nor press elections can't always settle things farcical & roll up majority for party in power - this does not mean that our neighbors are not making prog. they are - but rev won't be outmoded there for some time - Scotchman who stayed at home a let Guatemala age of 19 > 1/2 people Indians of agree type. colorful - Salvador, one of its chief exports balsam -Costa Rica very proud that it has more [soldiers] teachers >soldiers- Cuba proud it has furnished a Pres of L of Nations & a judge of court. Here are out next door neighbors, What can we do to help any? Dictator [?s] - in 50 yrs have intervened by force 30 times in 9 countries. Why? (17 yrs in Nicarag) in Wash they say to savor human life & help the people. We may recall that for every $4 investedin Europe we have $3 invested in Caribbean, & there is the Panama Canal, & a rt to dig a Nicarag canal - Dr Cumberland who has been associated w our interventions in Haiti & Nicaragua says for their good, to restore order & [fin] get them out of their financial muddles, & help 'em get good schools, roads &c. Sounds well. Perhaps too idealistic. As we examine it, we find -no people likes to be forcibly reformed by foreigners - when we go into a country like Haiti there are Haitians or Nicaraguans who bring suggestions & their suggestions go into the waste basket - have no large no of trained civil administrators & have to use marines - [are a] I went up into Northern Nicargwhere the Marines have been trying for 3 yrs to restore order, sans much success. Was riding on a mule like a peaceful friar - was arrested, taken back to [Nicaragua] another officer, who was polite but insisted on examining my private papers, wh the constitutionof Nicaragua [wh] forbids [a] sans a court order, & when I told him so he he told me "the guard is the constitution" - I think most of our men there mean well. but are under grt difficulties, & there are black sheep - Nicarag paper reportscoachman arrested, & held by 2 Marines while beaten in face to make him confess - empty beer - bottle thrown fr car & shattered & glass wounded several Nicaraguans - played up in press. We as a people don't like to govern other peoples - don'twant to be an empire or at least to recognize ourselves as such - still remember Patrick Henry's words, & incline to sympathize w Sandino - Haiti 15 yrs - I was there when Forbes Commission came to investigate & a veteran newspaper man told me theeducated Haitians were 100% opposed to the occupation This system tends to break down in the countries where it [was] is operating, & also stirs up distrust & ill feeling elsewhere - banquet in Costa Rica to Hoover in beautiful building "Viva Sandino!" at each plate.If good will & confidence of our neighbors means anything to us, either as human beings [&] or our very important commercial relations we shd withdraw our marines as soon as possible There is also way of cooperation eg Morrow in Mexico - [look?] may have characterizedcharacterized his methods of approach > substance I have talked to no end of L A fr Presidents to peons, & found desire for good relations in US - they advise [or] our organizing ability [&?] - we are the biggest thing on their horizon, & they are turning more away for Europe & towardus - & only fear of intervention & domination stands in way They tell me US has sent ambassadors & diplomats & commercial representations, but few reps of the people who want peace & friendship - very black boy, was called "Midnight" by his companions & he sd "You have no rt tocall me [?ifnigt?] you are only about half past seven!" - Monroe doctrine - Then there is the fear of economic interests - tremendous investments there - If we talk w the business & professional men of these countries, they will all say they want capital, but for cooperation not for domination -want it to come on a friendly basis, not merely to exploit us, but to do us good. This increasing export of capital makes one of the most difficult problems. There is cultural cooperation - Rockefellers for health, & Guggenheim foundation for exchanging students & professorsIn L A Eng is rapidly supplanting French as 2d Lang. We may have something to learn fr them as well as to teach, Then there is political coop - Pan Am ¶ It is asked, if we give up armed intervention what shall we do when disorders[arrise] arise there? Better statesmanship might have helped to avoid those disorders; also possibility of joint intervention, why shd not US seek their coop? Are also those (including myself) who doubt the efficacy of even joint intervention. Wd substitute withdrawal ofcredit, force of pub opinion, etc Now intervention does not leave us w hands [tied] tied but is to substitute better & more efficacious methods. They look at us w friendly but w questioning & apprehensive eyes - w out to know if we are sincere.In Mexico is figure of woman thrown on ground, hands shackled behind her, yet she is trying to rise - called "Malgre-tout"- typifies Mex & all those small repubs; & I [?esf] for them yr sympathy; your intelligent interest & yrfuture cooperation ? Porto Rico? over population; only one where this problem exists; landless peasantry owing to buying up of land [to] by big sugar plantations ¶ Presiding officer sd he was in Bolvia 10 yrs ago in rev, & had brief case w 2 compartments 1 containing documents to use where old govt was in power, & the other where therev was. Was in Para during election; sat in [?] & saw election returns flashed; 2000 & was vote of successful candidate, & there are 90,000 in Para. Americans are North Americans - an have assumed that we are the Americans, the Lord's anointed (Panama hats come fr Ecuador) I don't believe L A relations can ever be put on a satisfactory footing till be realize that they are cultured, & gentlemen, & quite as worthy to be called Ams as we. Does Catholic question enter in? It is a factor -perhaps makes it a little harder for us to understand, e o - but of doubt if it has much to [dow?] internat relations.University Club, Boston Nov. 13, 1930 [International Rela] Institute of Current International Problems of the U.S. Geo Blakeslee presiding. US has 3 grt sets of regional policies - for Europe, for the Americas, & for the Pacific & Far East. Second are more unsatisfactory to open to criticism. 3 items, Monroe Doctrine, The Caribbean policy, The Pan Ampolicy. US in this field is facing a serious dilemma, i.e we must choose between the Monroe doctrine & the Caribbean policy, on the one hand, & Pan Americanism on the other. One of the Bible in = current own History Magazine Recent article on "The Pan Am Illusion" [*paragraph*] Sen Walsh: Relation between Cuba & US differs fr other diplomatic relationshipswith others it is formal, limited chiefly to promoting friendly relations & trade. Our reps have often little to do. A practice has grown up of requiring our institutions wh make loans to foreign countries or to indivs there, to submit the application for a loan first for approval to our State Dept, nominally for it to decide if govt or person who wants the loan is reliable. Dont want to have to send marines to collectbad debts. So when bank asks, State dept says it see no objection fr pt of view of reliability or likelihood of war. 3d step to keep in mind is that w Cuba we have a different relationship. After Span Am war Cuba became part of our possessions, we later gave his independence on 2 conditions, provided the US be given authority to passjudgement on her financial loans, & that all of them should be made in U. S. It was also provided that the U.S. must be satisfied that Cuba is so situated as to make it safe. Ie the US controls Cuba's purse strings [??????] Also Platt a man that the US has rt to intervene to [secure a good] preserve independence & a govt in Cuba who will safeguard life, liberty & inde-visual prosperity. Is that a scrap of paper? Have we that it or not? People of Cuba say yes, politicians of Cuba say no. Let us turn to conditions in Cuba. To my mind, it was a very dangerous course for our govt to take to send to Cuba as ambassador a man sans diplomat experience, & who had never held pub office, a manout of business world. Sometime I hope you will ask someone to discuss how our diplomat reps in LA have been chosen & what sort of a record they have made. I sd to the people in Cuba ("Yr indictment is so terrible, so overwhelming, that people cannot believe it." Hard to believe any govt today could be so cruel, so bad, &c[ha] heartless, as many from Cubans say. other countries have a rt to have [abo?iun] govts if they see fit, it is none of our business. But in Cuba, can we? [Endespr] Prodigious graft. When we approve a financial loan to Cuba, ought not we to have some idea how it is spent? Wm English Walling's pamphlet "Nobody in C dare write me a letter & sign his name to it" GraftThat terrible lottery there is the worst evil of all — currently believed Machado collects a large part of the money & uses it for corruption — lottery tickets sold publicly everywhere on streets by old people & children, rakes in $200,000 or $300,000 every 10 days. Publicly charged that Machado controls entire milk supply of Havana & bread supply & fruit supply& uses it for his profit Discount much of this- 970 persons murdered sans trial - newspapers suppressed rt & left, no free speech or free assembly- forget all that, & come to question, Are there honest elections, & have the people a chance to change if they wish? We cannot deny the people of [??] the rt to have an other free electionDiscount 90% of the charges, I repeat our govt ought to insist. Is not necessary to send troops- make him understand he cd get no loans unless he behaved (Machado has abolished city govt of Cuba & taken it over) Scrap these contracts, tear them up, let Cuba have its tyrant & its graft Most Cubans believe US is supportingMachado- don't dare have a revolution they believe we shd send in marines -Cubans now have neither a free ballot the ballot was the rt of revolution ¶ Samuel Guy Junior on Pan Am problem- -author of 10 vols on LA Next the Carribeans. I thank the senator for his very clear & frank exposition of the situation on Cuba- I have been there several times in the last 4 or 5 yrs, & agree w him. The Cuban people feel thatthe Platt am't should be either repealed or carried out. We have taken a responsibility in Cuba wh we are not ready to carry out. It is not merely Cuba where we have this kind of situation — Nicaragua & others much the same, where we have taken an extra treaty rt to support govt — Peru- Liguria ind not have stood nearly so long but that we stood veryclosely by him — Am Ambassador at pub dinner that next to God sd Liguria — Is a common saying in there little countries that the word of the Am minister is the most powerful word there is. Dec 17 will be 100th anniversary of death of Simon Bolivar — one of grt geniuses who not only commandedin battle but cd get off his horse & write a constitution, or join group of literary men & critics product — had grt heart, freed his slaves, was grt antislavery leader 100 yrs ago — Father of 5 countries — 1st pol leader to call an assembly to consider aLeague of Nations. He wrote to of his delegate "Advocate making the Assembly a permanent body, &c&c assembly met in Panama In 1826, 1847 in Lima US not represented in either — 1856 was another, at Santiago de Chile, & in 1865 again at Lima, all trying to bring abt at Federation of LA — 1923 1928 then came time when US took leadership Blaine called one to try to eliminate war on Am continentbut dealt mostly only in commercial questions- Blaine & Henry Clay were get Pan Ams- But US has always tried to turn these meetings toward commerical affairs, & the LA's wanted to consider everything & pols & some sort of federation or League of LA- we need to develop machinery on this continent to settle things when diplomacy fails-several of our Presidents have joined in recommending this — Pan Am Union was not forward for this, & at Havana in 1928 a resolution was definitely passed that the Pan Am Union is forbidden to deal to any pol questions. Intervention is the outstanding question onAm continent at present- whether 1 country shall be sole judge when and another it shall intervene & when withdraw- At Havana in 1928 intervention was eliminated till last few days- Our delegation did its best to keep question for coming to the floor- but on last day itpopped up in final session, & the debates were so better that the reports had to be eliminated — Cong at Havana called another meeting in Wash the year after, & there were drafted treaties for obligatory arbitration in judicial disputes, & a treaty onconciliation, wh saying there are disputes between 2 Am countries wh can't be settled by diplomacy they may be [?e] sent to a com of jurists (?) either in Wash or Montevideo Has been approved by SenateArbitration treaty not yet approved by Senate. Is to be another meeting in 1832 in Montevideo & US will be in embarrassing position if we have not ratified this treaty, wh our own delegates proposed. Latin Am much interested inLeague of Nations. League's going to get less & less interest for LA [unless] if they find they hand no help to expect [of] from the League of Nations. Resolutions in LA largely mean to that the people want more share in their own govt. Is a real awakening of middle classes& desire [to] for democracy — [No] but don't know what to expect, as to arms embargo, recognition, &c — [a ??y] are a grt perplexity. We need to straight thinking & to set up some machinery Per Prof Philip MarshallBrown, forever? minister to Honduras — Whether we like it or not, we have an immense responsibility to the countries to the South of us — Prof Inman in a marvellous manner hasgiven us a survey of this whole question & I feel myself in hearty sympathy with him, Senator Walsh has done a grt service in pointing out concrete case. The situation he found there is to be found unfortunatelyin many countries. During abt 15 mos in C A we had 2 wars & 5 revolutions — our govt is cursed whatever it does, & our motives in impugned not a question of politics really — It is not easy for our govt to decide on a policy of intervention "Laisse faire = helping tobring matters to a crisis & then leaving them to drift", Sen Knox? It is not easy to see what to do; but I strongly [agr] back up Inman's plea that we arrange for some consultative machinery & avoid an arrogant attitudeInstitute of International Problems of US Nov. 14, 1930 Robert L. O'Brien presiding, Paul Scheffer Since 1923 has been clear & didn't keep up coop between 2 incompatible systems, & private property had to be abolishedForeign Policy Ass'n Nov. 15, 1930 Presiding Officer Christian Hester Round Table Conf. met 3 days ago. Question understanding is, "Can India be kept in Empire?!" Per Gregg: Won't go back of the Montagu Chelmsford reforms of 1919 — quoted fr Montague in 1917. 2 yrs later Parliament passed Act giving small further self-govt & providing that in 10 yrs shd be Nonco of campaign of 1922 — showed strong desire of many Indiansfor more self-govt. Followed by increasing failure of the scheme of "dyarchy", (e. g. education). Did not work. Desire for self-govt has grown every year & in 1927 Congress demanded self-govt as goal. Then Senior Com started work early in 1928. Made up wholly of English men. Indians felt this [un] unfair, & a sign that they wd not be trusted to govern. Most of the from Indians refused to coop w Senior Commissions. Then Nehru Com of Nat Congress drew up [scheme]draft of constitution, & gave Britain in yr to grant independence. Then Labor Party came into power, & their official program was self- determination as soon as possible. Ramsay MacDonald sd he hoped within a few mos wd be a new Dominion. Indians wondered whether Labor Party & MacDonald meant what they sd. xx Now over 30,000 in jail- Mr B[???] admitted 27000 in jail & 21,000 not for violence. Now we have Round Table,- not representatives, but nominees of Viceroy.Congress members have lost faith in getting freedom by talk, so struggle goes on in India Per Mr Claus F. Strickland represents British Civil Service in India, says Herter Per Strickland- Agree mainly w Gregg, but deny that Round Table are merely nominees of gov't. Excludes only the extremists of Congress. Some more moderate members (who have been in jail) are there. Grt mass of British people honestly means to give India self-govtass soon as govt can be set up that will ensure order. & Nehru plan rejected by Moslems, Sikhs & untouchables. Biggest difficulty is question of defense of India. Comparatively small army of India, defending 300,000000 people (same size as our army) is mostly drawn from certain martial races in the north. Friend of mine sd his province wd require 2 armies, 1 to defend the frontier, & the other to loot the rest of the country. If Round Table Conf fails itwill not be because British people don't want to give India freedom, but because a reasonable plan to meet these difficulties cd not be reached. Native princes, some good, some bad, but Britain is bound by treaty to all of them, & it keeps its promises. (Put the priests in the sun for 2 days, to bring rain). I want to impress on you the enormous difficulty of the task& the sympathy is wh everybody concerned in it shd be regarded— Mass of population not in towns but in villages, very primitive & backward — & have lived among them— In India is not an underdog but an under under dog. Differences of religion & race Minds of Indians made of torn, minds of British made of asbestos — don't like to hand over law & order to such personsWhy is Indian so poor? Because he multiplies so fast — increase of 100,000 000? in 50 yrs? Taxes are at lowest possible, $2 per head, Philippine 3, Am $17: GB $77. If you are going to increase ed, you must increase taxation or sweep away half the army. British people for 30 years have [too] realized, must give self-govt to India, but can't be done in a minute, [b] must be done byconsultation among all reasonable people who will come to a round table. P Suyd Hossein the present crisis in India dates to declaration of Ind Nat Cong last Jan. quot It has become a solemn obligation & revolutionary rt of the Indian people to dissolve ties wh bind them to British Empire? It was to carry out this that Gandhi's mov't was launched, & we havenewly British adverse, 27000 in prison of whom 21000 not violent action — they are cream of country's manhood & womanhood — incredible presumption that British did be sole judges of their own cases. Issue is moral > rather than polar economic— the rt of GB to be in India at all. On what foundation? Does it rest of consent of governed? People of India havecompletely lost faith in bona fides of British in India Imperialism = domination of one nation by another. for exploitation. Is it seriously pretended that British Rule has been anything but British aggrandizement at expense of India? East India Co- beginning abt middle of 19th Century started campaign to justify & gratify British rule. Priority laid to over population - Poverty in India,in uparalleled i world— Ramsay McDonald thrippence hapenny a day— due to the systematic long-continued ruthless exploitation of India's resources— Gibbons, drawing $15,000,000 a year sans return — Dr Eddy— & $90,000 a yr for viceroy — 55 mil for viceroy's palace— & 200 mil a yr for army of 250,000 men.

F. Andrews Before I can give my address tonight let me say what grt joy it is to me to here I did not expect to be in Am, but Tagore asked me to return. A very unfortunate thing- he was taken ill & I have been with him ever since. He was not able to visit this city. Tomorrow at 8 in the vestry I shall be delighted to speak informally about Gandhi, to thosewho want more details, shall be glad to answer questions abt him & Tagore, that other saint Chap 8 verse 10 Matthew "I leave not found & a grt faith, no, not in Israel." Mary here asked me the simple question, "Is not G a Xtra?" Is not Tagore who has written such perfect reilg poetry a Xtra?" We see even now to draw hard & fast lines that x never made. When we look at his teachings, we find he welcomed tohis side every one who loved God & served his fellow man. Centurion was not but "I have not found so get faith no not in Israel." "Thy mother & brothers stand without &c Who is my mother, sister & bro? If that doth the will of my Father in heaven X, if he saw these today, as he does see, these fr him ancient land of India who are teaching ashe would receive them. I whom I love of whom I have learned more of X's spirit > fr anyone else. I am going to tell you how I first met G in S A & his acts made me realize G for 20 yrs had been in that color-prejudiced country of S A, where the Indians whom he served were treated in race prej & race pride & in Natal where most of them livedwere under cruel system of indentured labor, very near slavery. These indentured laborers called coolies had mostly been recruited by [compulsary] fraudulent means & often kidnapped. Had been promised freedom after 5 yrs of compulsory labor for a mere pittance of $1 per week, they had either to go back into that slavery or pay $15, an impossibleimpossible sum. It was a wicked law + G struggled yr after yr to get it repealed. At last in desperation he determined to call the laborers out of the plantations & had them en masse into the Transvaal [& demo] where the Gov't was sitting, & demand— Thousands followed him & he & Mrs G & sons & all the leaders & thousands of others were jailed. I wasasked to go out & see if something cd not be done for the multitude who remained sans leader— After very strong passage, sans wireless, we learned in Durban on Xmas Day. A kindly man in homespun stood in front of the Indians who came to receive us. He told us told Gen Smuts had freed the leaders to see if some agreement cd not be reached.I sd "then where is G? He sd, "I am G." From that day he took me as a brother, & we have lived together & had all things in common. I saw the way the poor people almost worshipped him & he was a father to them. Telegram fr Smiths asked him to come to Victoria & try to make some agreement- the negotiation dragged along, till agreement wasreached & only needed G Smut's signature— hard to get because was miners strike & he was moving abt— telegram "Mrs G is dying & asks to see her husband" — G was deeply moved. I sd, " Go to Mrs G & let me stay & get the signature". He sd, "It is impossible to leave a public duty when you have put yr hand to it. I can't go."I was in agony all night, & then decided I wd go & ask Smuts- G knew his his carriage thought if I got in very early G might catch him before he left- his motor came & I asked him for 3 minutes - he sd he cdn't - G told him Mrs G was dying & he wdn't go - he sd "Very sorry" - he sent his guard for agreements asked me if Gwas sure it was all right, "I give you my word of honor- he signed & G hastened own & we took the train to Johannesburg & found her a little better. Another time we arrived in Johannesburg, & he said "G want to take you on pilgrimage? & he took me to wife of Baptist ministrer who had been G's truest friend in IA-one day G was almost murdered by someone who thought he was playing them false- Dak laid his head on his knee, & 1st words G sd when he opened his eyes were "don't punish them, they didn't know what they were doing"- was delirious that night, & all he sd was "Don't punish them, don't punish them" (Took would be murderer home in his own car) Dok? went into control Africa among savage tribes & was stricken down again & again — his wife went to him, & when he sd to me "Let us go on pilgrimage" it was to her — she & her daughter both dressed in black — he treated her like a mother, she him like a son — These little stories give us a picture of G. — in London he left a book "The Kingdom of G is within you," Tolstoy — he read Sermon on Mt after Tolstoy, & the words gripped him, & fr that day to thus he has been striving in his own way to live if to those grt words" — I am sure X wd say to him as to that anWillard 33 Manchester Rd Bleline Park The Eastland Portland
