Foreign loans; Hearings before the subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, 68th Cong., 2nd Sess., pursuant to S. Con. Res. 22 relative to engaging the responsibility of the government of the United States in financial arrangements between its citizens and sovereign foreign governments; Feb. 25 and 26, 1925: n.a., Vol. 1 (iii+194p), Wash., GPO, 1925, all published. (A partial TOC appears on p. iii. This series of hearings was aimed at exposing the use by American business interests of the power of the U.S. military to enforce repayment of their often improvident loans to, or investments in, various countries in Central and South America – the so called “dollar diplomacy” phenomenon. A major portion of the testimony relates to the use of U.S. marines to enforce repayment of loans by U.S. banks to Haiti. The testimonies of Ernest H. Gruening pp. 45-69, and of Helena Hill Weed, pp. 69-81, are especially useful for the invaluable detail they provide covering the decade after the 1915 U.S. occupation of Haiti. Gruening was a major figure in American journalism at the time of his testimony, and later served as a major figure in U.S. territorial administration; being appointed as governor of the Territory of Alaska, 1939-53, and elected as U.S. senator from Alaska, 1959-69.)
