American Imperialism in Chile.

The article focuses on the political condition of Chile. On February 9 Colonel Carlos Ibañez succeeded by the mere threat of a military revolt in forcing the Chile government to abdicate. He deported the liberal Premier, named himself as successor, and also retained the Ministry of the Interior. On April 7 he had himself appointed Vice-President also, after forcing the temporary retirement of President Figueroa Larrain. Upon assuming the role of dictator the first act of Ibañez was to arrest, imprison and exile all his opponents. He not only struck at the class-conscious workers and the feudal and clerical interests of the landed aristocracy, but also against certain liberals representing the native financial and mining interests.
