The author hints at a grim pattern echoed in the 1929 era treasure hunt.

A historical reflection on Cordell Hull and inter-American trade. The piece recalls how Fordney McCumber and Hawley Smoot tariffs collapsed Latin American sales to the United States, causing a trade downturn for Yankee firms like Ford and Mellon interests.
