RESOLUTION URGES
U.S.TOJOINCOURT
Action to Be Taken Later in
Week by Y. M. C. A.
National Council.
A resolution urging American en
trance on the World Court was pre
sented today to the National Council
id the You ns .Men's Christian Asso
ciations of the t utted States, meeting
tit the Willard Hotel. Along with
other resolutions sulnnitted liv ihe
internation.il committee. Y. M. F A.,
it was ret'ci red without comment to
the general hoard committee. Action
will he taken later during the ivrek's
convention.
The World Court resolution was one
o’ the 10 submitted hy the interna
tional committee. All of the resolu
tions except that concerning the
■ Cor’d had been passed by the
International Convention. Y. M. C. A .
wolf !i c,, n ,-hided its sessions Monda.’

Would Aid Peace.
The proposal would put American
Tming Men's Christian Associations
on record as "standing unequivocally
for unhesitating. unselfish and com
plete co-operation with other nations
for all worthy international ends." it
further would urge the Senate to
adopt recommendations that the
United States enter the Permanent
Court of International Justice, “ns at:
immediate step toward the great pro
gram of permanent association of all
the nations for world pence and good
will, bringing about the outlawry and
abolition of war. and the settlement
of ill differences bet ween nations by
conference, arbitration, or h\ an in
ternational court.”
other resolutions which had l>orn
passed hy the International Cnnven
tion included assertion of belief that
' the spirit of Christian brotherliness
can remove every unjust barrier of
trad°. color, creed and race"; that
all nations should associate them
selves permanently for the world
peace and good will and that there
should be a sweeping reduction of ar
mnments by all nations.
Much of the morning session was
given over to consideration of amend
ments to the constitution of the Na
tional Council, most of which con
cerned representation on the council
and its various divisions. Some de
bate was precipitated between the two
schools of thought in the convention
which stand, -m the one hand for
strong centralization, and. on the oth
er. for a more democratic decentrali
zation of power and control of the mi
tional Y. M. c. A. .
Growth of Committee.
W. A. Visser T'Hooft. head of high
school work with the world committee
of tile Y. M. <A. at Geneva. Switzer
land, addressed the council, pointing
out that within the last few years tin
world committee had grown from an
organization of continental aspect t
one of world wide influence, tech tv.
rally uniting 'he organizations of r>-
countries.
Immoral te. dencies in Germany, the
speaker said, together with the "grow
ing nationalist!!" of that country were
possible "danger spots." The despond
ency of other nations regarding Ger
many's future was sail to i>e having
a had effect on her youth, although
the Y. M. ('. A. was offsetting this in
fluence as far as possible.
The Washington situation continued
today to be the subject of much in
formal talk and consideration among
members of the council, although the
recommendation regarding a great en
largement of the service here techni
cally is now hefere the committee on
the report of the genera! board.
The committee probably will report
out on that phase of the general
board s recoram mdations tomorrow
some 1 ime. and wi J thus lay before the
National Council the proposal which
may eventually result in great
changes in the function and buildings
of the Y in Washington.
Favorable (r> I*ian.
Feeling among members of the coun
cil seemed generally today to be favor
* able to some kind of enlargement of
ih<* service rendered a; the National
I'apital by the Y. M. C. A., but the
exact nature of the extension or the
ways and means by which it may be
achieved remain to be decided. More
money than can he rai d in the Dis
trict of Columbia b* subscription will
be needed for such increased service.
:t seemed to be agieed. but no plan
has been worked out as to how the
Nation may be appealed to for support.
One mcmi r thought that with ap
proval of the National Council funds

prominent givers to the cause through

Judge Lyon explained that he per

Fred W. Ramsey, speaking on the
Text of Coolidge Speech
At San Martin Ceremony
The text of the President's speech
at the unveiling of the San Martin
statue in Judiciary Square today:
Great men belong to humanity.
They are the incarnation of the truth.
Although they are almost always de
veloped by local circumstances. In the
end their influence becomes world
wide. It is that which makes ap
propriate the rearing of monuments
within our own land to those who
have been instrumental in advancing
human welfare in other countries, it
is a recognition of a universal stand
ard of action and a common brother
hood among ail men. We are all
servants of the truth.
As 1 listened to the eloquent and
generous words of the distinguished
Ambassador from Argentina, speaking
on behalf of his government and peo
ple in presenting this noble monument
of civic virtue and patriotic achieve
ment t<> the people of the i'nited
States. I was again reminded how
closely parallel have run the lines of
experience, how intimate have been
he spiritual associations, among the
members of the American family of
republics. To the people of the I'nited
States 'Ht has been a matter of pride
and gratification that their ancestors
were providentially chosen to initiate
the movement for independence in the
New World. If that movement hail
not started where and when it did. we
may he sure it would have started at
some other place and time, and that at
last its results would have been .sub
stantially the same. it was not among
lie human possibilities that the com
munities of these new-found conti
nents should permanently be main
tained ns dependencies of the mother
states in Rurope. We can see now
hat their destiny to establish them
selves independently was just as cer
tain as that a patriarchal system of
government must ultimately he dis
"laced by a more progressive form.
Proved Fruitful Field.
It was not possible that these sturdy
communities should merely contribute
to th" world a distorted reflection from
the light of older states and ancient
institutions. The discovery of Amer
ica to the world was providentially
fixed in a time of spiritual and intel
leetual awakening. It was an epoch
of new lights and new aspirations, of
mighty clashes between the traditions
of the old and the spirit of the new
time. The New World proved a fruit
fill field for testing out of n“vv ideas of
man's relations both to his Creator
and to his fellow men. In the warm
; pg sunshine of such an opportunity
in the fertility of such a virgin soil,
these experiments found that full and
fair scope which made possible their
triumphant conclusion.
It may be well to consider for a mo
ment the essential similarities which
marked the experiences of all the new
American communities during their
struggles for independence and later
during their trying era of institution
building. Ry doing this we can better
realize that the American contribution
ould not have been made save front
the soil of a new country. You can
not transplant an ancient and rigid
social system to a new country with
out mam- and revolutionary modifica
tions. You cannot expect that these
new institutions will have adequate
opportunity for development unless
'hey grow in 'he light of human in
dependence and spiritual liberty.
This realization came early to the
great leaders of thought in all the
American countries. So we find that
as North American aspirations pro
dueed our "Washington. Jefferson. Ad
ams. Hamilton and Franklin—so the
countries to the south of us brought
forth their Miranda, their Bolivar.

O'Higgins. th“ir Sucre, their Mora

tributor to th” founding of three re

San Martin and to aclai mhis achieve
ments that we are gathered today
F. S. Aided Others.
It was the fortune of our thirteen
North American colonies to he first
in attaining the fact and recognition
of independence. Deeply appreciating
their own high fortune, the people of
the new I'nited States were from the
beginning profoundly sympathetic
with every movement for liberty and
independence throughout these conti
nents. And. in this connection. Mr.
Ambassador, permit me to thank you
for the generous reference you made
few moments ago to the services of
Henry Flay in the cause of Pan
\merican freedom. You have remind
ed us of his persistent and eloquent
pleadings in behalf of the struggling
peoples in the other American coun
tries. The high tribute of Mr. Flay
to the state papers produced during
that period hv the Latin American
leaders was only equaled hy that ac
corded hy the great liberal leaders in
Rngland to the state papers of our
Revolutionary period, in expressing
complete agreement with the estimate
placed upon them by Mr. Clay, I w-ish

budget, pointed out that the council
had never succeeded in raising more
than two-thirds of its contribution
needs through the processes of having
the local association accept definite
responsibility. Under the new consti
tution. however, he said, the National
Founcil had the moral power to "lav
all the contribution requirements of
the budget upon the local associa
tions. and to hold them responsible
for meeting the full contribution
need."
The rapid increase in buildings was
reported hy David Teachout of <’leve
land. who reported 15 new buildings
had been erected last year, which,
with new building campaigns in
prospect, will bring the total value
of new construction up to $58,000,000.

Work Spreads Rapidly.
D. A. Davis, administrative secre
tary for western Rurope and the
Balkan States, said that since the
war work started by the American
Y. M. C. A. in Rurope had not only
grown rapidly, but had been taken
over in u large part by the countries
in which it was conducted. Whereas
when tile work in Rurope was started

dence of this occasion. Tit Mr. Clay's
j great speech in the House of Itepre
| sentatives on March 24. 1818. cham
| plotting the cause of the South Arner
j lean republics, lie referred nl especial
ly glowing terms to the far-seeing
statesmanship of the Argentine pa
triot who was then director of the
i'nited Provinces of Lit Plata. I am
sure your excellency will pardon me
an allusion to a relationship which
your modesty has forbidden you t<,
mention. For to me it is a happy and
auspicious circumstance that you,
j Argentina's Ambassador to our Gov
ernment. chance to be the grand
nephew of the wise anil courageous
statesman. Don Juan Martin Fueyr
reilou whom Mr. Flay so appropri
ately eulogized.
On such an occasion its this it is
utterly impossible to attempt a re
counting of the services, in arms and
In counsel, of such a man as Jose <!e
San Martin. Just as so many of the
'military figures in the North Ameri
jean struggle for independence had had
European training during the Seven
Years' War. so San Martin had had a
varied and useful experience in the
| Napoleonic struggles. As George
■Washington learned military science
lon the frontiers of Pennsylvania while
la youth, so San Martin received his
j education in the European and African
\ wars of Spain a generation later.
And these American soldiers of inde
i prudence learned their lessons well,
i As some distinguished military erities
] have described Washington's cam
| paigu of Trenton and Princeton ns u
j military exploit of unparalleled hril
| iianey, so iti the annals of the south
ern wars of independence others de
-1 scribe Sari Martin’s passage of the
| Andes with his little patriot army as
a more notable achievement than the
j crossing of the Alps by either Hanni
bal or Napoleon. I do not pretend to
i pass on these questions of military
[organization and direction, loft 1 can
; not refrain from pointing out the
basic similarity between the strategv
j of the North American and the South
i American revolutionary epochs. The
> North American revolutionists chose
the great Washington, citizen of a
Southern colony, to lead a revolution
ary movement that had been begun,
and in its early Sthges was erierty
sustained bv. the people of the North.
Likewise, w hen San Martin was made
the supreme military leader of Argett
titia fie saw that the success of Ar
gentina depended upon strengthening
and sustaining the revolution in Chile
and Peru.
Mas Like Washington.
But it is not my purpose to,iav to
attempt to analyze the military genius
[of San Martin. For that I refer you
I to the writings <>t' men truly capable
I of giving it an adequate estimate, lie
| was. like our Washington, one of those
seemingly inspired military chieftains
who are callable of thinking at the
same moment of terms of war and of
politics, of the ha t tlefleld and the great
human forum. For me the great sig
nificance of San Martin and his deeds
and times lies less in their brilliancy
in the moment of accomplishment and
more in the justifying verdict which a
later time and a riper experience have
pronounced upon them.
This is a subject which I believe
worthy of greatei development than
jmv time will permit. We who today
study the lessons of modern history
possess advantages unknown to our
predecessors of even a few years ago.
We see many things which we could
not then have recognized. Thus we
see vour South America suddenly lift
ed to a place of impressive eminence
; among the grand divisions of the
! world. For it stands today as'the
j only continent that has escaped from
| deep and critical invoivment in the
j most widespread and terrific struggle
! that has ever been waged for the
j domination of the destiny of man
; kind. There is not one among us here
today who. having passed the me
| t’idian of life, cannot recall the days
when our American experiments were
still looked upon throughout a large
part of the world as of doubtful value
and dubious success. We recall that
j the sophisticated statesmanship ~f
an older world entertained profound
j misgivings as to the ultimate fate of
i these American Republics. These
1 critics won,Vied whether with their
liberal and democratic organization
these new countries would prove able
to play their full part and emerge se
! cure and sound from one of the vast
periodical convulsions to which our
t '"tee has seemed to be inevitably sub
| jected. Now, 1 am glad to say. we
hear less of such misgivings. The
| world has had its test. The institu
tfons of men have been through their
, trial. I ha t trial has quite definitely
| answered the questionings of (leasi
n') ism. it his provided us with much
specific information by which we may
judge for ourselves whether the in
stitutions of a republican New World
or of a monarchial old World were
best adapted as conservators of hit
man happiness and human progress.
We are content to leave the final ver
dict to history. The republican peo
ples of the Americas are prepared to
| take their chance on that judgment.
Praises Peace Trend.
It was no mere accident or coinci
dence that saved the countries of
1 South America from a far more in
[timate and disastrous connection with
j the recent world convulsion. Who
] evp| ' has given even casual consid
eration to the past century's evolu
i tion of international relationships in
: that continent must recognize that
not only its aspirations but its pruoti
j cal working processes for dealing w ith
difficult Issues between nations have
. steadily tended toward the insuring of
1 peace. They have looked to the sub
stitution of reason for force. They
have repeatedly recognized, in the
most practical fashion and difficult
c ireumsta ncf*s. that <?vpn issues of
vital interest to the national welfare
may he determined to the advantage
•>f ail concerned without resort to
hostilities. Such problems as inter
national boundary disputes involving
sovereignty over great areas and pop
ulations have been settled through
arbitrations or adjudications time and
again. And these settlements have
been followed by demonstrations of
good will and mutual confidence,
where war, no matter what its verdict!
would surely have added t<> the exas
perations of both parties and left a
heritage of that mutual distrust which
so commonly is responsible for in
ceased armaments and future wars.
I do not pretend to controvert the
facts of history by denying that South
America has had its share of inter
national wars. 1 am seeking merely
to call attention to the fact that there
would have been more wars, and more
disastrous ones, hut for the fact that
[ South American statesmanship has on
the whole been dominated hy an earn
est and increasingly successful pur
pose to devise and adopt a variety of
methods for avoidance of armed con
flict. The will to peace has been
present, even thought the way to it
was not always open.
The present occasion naturally
brings some reflections upon the work
ings of the republican system that
for a well-rounded century lias pre
vailed throughout the greater part of
the Americas. If we go back over a,
century of the New World history, we
will find many evidences that these
American institutions have peculiarly
lent themselves to the support of
those fundamental international ef
forts which look to the maintenance
of peace and the prevention of war.
It is almost precisely a century since
the first pa 11-American conference was
held at Panama City. Its accomplish
ments did not seent impressive, hut
even at that It was well remembered
as a fine and hopeful gesture. It was
seen as an invitation to understand
ing. to co-operation, and to sincere
effort at maintaining peace on this
side of the Atlantic.
Praises Diplomacy.
From that day to this the history of
relationships among the nations of
; the New World has been a continuing
j story of effort to substitute the rule of
I arbitration, of mediation, of adjttdira
| tion and confidence for the rule of
j force and war. To the scholarly states
j tuanship of the Latin American na
j tions the world owes a debt which it
| has been too tardy in acknowledging.
The truth is that they have demon-
I strated a peculiar genius In the realm
of international accommodation and
accord. The high and humane doc
trines of international relationship
which were expounded by such men
as Falvo. Drag,,. Alvarez, Bello, liny. ■
Barbosa. Rio Branco and a long list l
of otliers are now recognized univer
sally. The record of arbitrations. [
mediations and adjudications among'j
tiie Latin American countries consti
tutes one of tiie fairest pages in a
century's story of mankind's effort to
I eliminate tbe causes of war. Among
J their international treaties we will j
i find models of effective covenants for
j the limitation of armament and the.
I prevention of strife in arms,
j The present is a time when men and
| nations are ail giving hee,l t,> the
I voice which pleads for peace. Every- I
where they are yearning as never be-j
for for a leadership that will direct :
them into the inviting paths of prog- j
ress, prosperity and genuine fellow- i
ship. A clear vision has shown j
them not alone the horrors but the !
terrible futility of war. in such a I
time as this they will do well to turn I
their thoughts in all sincerity to these j
j lessons from the statesmanship, tiie j
1 experience and the constant aspira
tion of the South American nations.
The continent which of all the world
I has known less of war and more of
peace titan any other through this
J trying period Is well entitled to pride
in tiie service it has rendered to its j
! own people ami in the example which ■
it has set before the rest of mankind i
So the present occasion has appealed i
to me not merely as appropriate for
the exchange of the ordinary felicita j
tions. I,lit as one on which these on j
Jtriho tions of I.atin America in moral]
land intellectual leadership might be
I given something of the recognition
they have deserved. It is not possible
i to do more than suggest the subject.
\ But even so fragmentary an allusion
! to such an inviting field I hope may
serve a useful purpose. It would he
worth the effort of men and women
who seek means of preventing wars
and reducing armaments to study the
experiences of the American repub
lics. I commend them to the close at
tention ~f all who would like to see
peace as nearly as possible assured
and war as far as possible outlawed
from the earth.
San Martin Favored Peace.
Among tiie leaders whose courage
land genius brought realization ,«f tiie
; New World’s dream of liberty with in
dependence, none was moved hy a
I deeper horror of war than San Martin,
j None among his colleagues would give
, more ardent approval than he to the
j work of later statesmen who had a

S don of the South American continent

As has happened too ten to the

and all peoples have been proud to
I shower upon his memory. I have been

COOLIDGE PLEADS
FOR ARBITRATION
IN WORLD DISPUTES

j are content to leave the final verdict
Ito history. The republican [teoples
of the Americas are prepared to
take their chance on that judgment."
President Coolidge attributed South
America's escape from entanglement
in the World War to her cultivation
of the germ of arbitration. He said
it was no mere accident or coinci
dence that saved the countries of
South America “from a far mote
intimate and disastrous connection
j with the recent world convulsion.”
‘'Whoever has given even casual
j consideration to the past century's

i nize that not only its aspirations but
its practical working processes for
dealing with difficult issues between

the insuring of peace,” he declared.
"They have repeatedly recognized,
in tiie most practical fashion and
difficult circumstances, that even
issues of vital interest to the national
welfare may he determined to the
advantage of all concerned without

“Such problems as International

aiul future wars."
Cites San Martin Exploits.
Ambassador Pueyrredon prefaced his
address with a colorful account of
the military and state accomplish
ments of Gen. San Martin.
"The deeds and Hie character of
Gen. Jose de San Martin place him
among the greatest of the moral per
sonalities of modern times. His mili
tary genius, his democratic aspira
tions. his republican principles and
his achievements in the cause of lib
erty were not bounded by the fron
tiers of his own country."
The daring exploit of San Martin
in taking his army across the high
peaks of the Andes in order to pounce
upon the enemy on the other side
was pictured in glowing terms. This
feat, he said, resulted in the inde
pendence of Fhile and Peru and the
security of Argentina.
“The international situation between
the United States and Spain at that
moment was very delicate, and rec
ognition of the Independence of those
nations might have seriously aggra
vated the conflict.” Senator Pueyrredon
stated. "Nevertheless, two courageous
voices, inspired by democratic prin
ciples. were raised in the House of
Representatives of this country de

Tribute to Henry Clay.
“I wish to avail myself of this op ]
port unit y to render homage to the
memory of Henry Clay, who was the!
leader in that campaign, and to re 1
peat some of his words so that thev
may live in tlie memories of the At
gentitifs. Aftei eulogizing the effort
at emancipation, the merits of the
principles and institutions maintained j
I by the new nationalities and the ex-'
! cellence of theit statesmen, he e\
claimed: ‘i.et us not hesitate: let us
act worthv of ourselves and evince!
to the world that we are not only
free, but worthy of that freedom!'
“Thomas Robertson. Representative
in Congress from Louisiana, follow
ing in the steps of Henry Clay, said
'The provinces of the Rio de la
data have deviated themselves inde
pendent, solemnly proclaiming the
fact to the world, and have maintain
ed their independence in a manner
which must claim the respect and
admiration of nations.'
“After four years of such Insistence
President Monroe sent to Congress the
message recognizing the independence.
Democratic harmony between the two
extreme nations of ih<- continent was
firmly established from that dav.
Hails emancipation of Americas.
“When posterity glances backward
it will declare that the emancipation
of the two Americas is the greatest
political and social achievement of 1 he
nineteenth century.
"To the l'nited States belongs tbe
glory of having first raised the <1 v
of liberty, whose echo reverberated
throughout Knrope and America, and
at the same time offered one of the
best written models of republican in
stitutions.
“The social •structure, like the ma
terial edifice, requires for its stability
a solid basis of democratic principles.
These principles save the nations in
their great crises. They contribute
I to the formation of a collective moral
ity. which gives real strength and
character to nations, and its organic
struggles are a permanent source of
culture and betterment.
"If George Washington were per
mitted to view today the result of
his work it may be affirmed that he
would feel profoundly gratified. After
a century and half of independent
life this Nation offers to the vyorld
jan example of great moral, material
and political force. I am also con
vinced that Gen. San Martin would
look with equal approbation upon the
fulfillment, by his country, within
the measure of their possibilities, of
his great patriotic aspirations.
"To his countrymen of tlie present
and of future generations it will be a
reason for unending satisfaction that
this statue has been placed in tlie
Capital of this great country, in close
proximity to the monument of the
immortal statesman for whom San
Martin always felt the most profound
admiration."
•Speech by Mrs. Cook.
Mrs. Cook spoke as follows:
“As the representative of the women
of North America who are the lineal
descendants of the soldiers of lVTfi,
who fought with Washington for the
political independence of the 13 colo
nies, I bring you, the men and women
of the Argentine, the greetings of our
patriotic organization.
"We unite with you in honoring the
truly heroic figure of Gen. Jose San
De .Martin, who among the great men
of tlie world, has shown that higher
kind of greatness in which is com
bined tlie union of large constructive
ideas with decisive energy in action,
but who was at the same time en
dowed by nature with that unselfish
love of justice and truth which will
brook no compromise with honesty,
honor and the larger welfare of hu
mankind.
“It is the hope and desire of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion that our two republics may in the
future even more fully realize than
they have In the past the fruition of
the great visions of Washington. Lin
coln and Jose De San Martin for the
countries to whom they gave a patri
otic service unsurpassed in the annals
of history. May there he vouchsafed to
those of us who today enjoy the de
mocracy, tlie educational, the religious
and political freedom which their sacri
fices made possible for us to so con
tinue tlie welfare of our republics that
Argentina and America with the rest
of the world may have abiding peace
and unparalleled progress and pros

via London, October 2K.— Rain has

hardship to thousands of refugees
scattered in little groups about
Petritch. lacking shelter and food,
tiie fugitives present a pitiable j
appearanee. Their sufferings need j
to lie seen to he believed. Many of j

declare they hope their relatives are
dead rather than fallen into the hands'
of the Greeks.
I’etriwh. once a prosperous market j

Greeks having continually shelled j
the town and declared their inten- '
lion of taking it. many of the in
habitants left, though most of them
had lived here all their lives and
quit with the greatest reluctance.
From Petritch the writer rode for |
five hours through a heavy mist to
da\ to Dornirkupu. Outside of the j
Bulgarian commanding officer, the
writer was the first person to visit
this scene of the Greek-Bulgarian I
incident that precipitated all the I
trouble. Demirkupu is a tine strut-1
egical post situated on the summit j
ul mountains overlooking the whole i
country about it. The body of a i
Greek soldier, lying almost at the
writer's feet, vividly recalled the i
incident of his shooting—the alleged
cause of the Greeks' advance. There
his corpse rested on Bulargian terri I
lory, a grim reminder.
The situation is quiet and it is
hoped normal relations would soon he

WAR FLAMES ANEW
ON BALKAN FRONT:
PEACE MOVE FAILS
(Continued from First I’age.i
operations and bringing iter forces
hehind the Greek frontier.
Greece's unconditional acceptance
of the league ultimatum was followed
by perhaps the most dramatic and irn
pressive expression of faith in the
league as an instrument of world
peace since its founding.
Speakers Laud League.
Beginning with M. Briand, presi
dent of the council, and continuing
with the British foreign secretary.
Austen Chamberlain, every one of
the 10 members of the council voiced
their conviction that the happy end
lng of the crisis gave new hopes for
humanity, and that recourse would
not henceforth be made to the sword,
but to conciliation and harmony.
Nevertheless, this general expres
sion of congratulations. Greece did not
escape without reproof. Her invasion
of Bulgarian soil was scathingly de
nounced by M. Briand.
Greece, the president of the council
said, had pleaded the necessity of de
fensive measures as justification t'or
Iter advance, but it Would be u great
danger to world peace if the idea
gained ground that extensive military
operations could become a feature of
international Jurisprudence.
It is understood that the Greek
troops in the frontier territory will
not be withdrawn for the time being.
Itriand Denies Delay. 1
After emphasizing that its quic k ac
tion in the Balkan crisis had demon
strated that there was no Justification
for the criticism that the council was
too clumsy and too slow. M. Briand
voiced the hope that hy tomorrow the
council will have learned that the par
ties to the dispute have accepted the
second part of the council's invitation
and carried out the evacuation within
the 60 hours' time limit set.
Senator Scialoja of Italy, alluding to
Woodrow Wilson, rejoiced that the
machinery of the league had worked
with the efficacy of which its authors
had dreamed.
That today's victory for the league
will have a repercussion overseas was
evident when both Senors Guani of
Uruguay and Aiello Franco of Brazil
declared that the distant lands of
laitln America henceforth will be con
vinced that the league will play a'
[ mighty role, will niakp peace reign

DIPLOMACY OF U. S.
FACING PROBLEMS
League’s Strength and
Peace Pad Change Aspect
of Situation.
BY I> V\ 11» I.AWRKM K.
While the League of Nations is
mote or less taboo as a tuple of dls
i iiHsiuii among officials because of the
Duality with which President Coolidge
has disposed of possible American etc
try into that organization develop
merits of the past fortnight have
forced consideration of diplomacy's
difficulties that mat he in store for the
t’nitecJ Slates.
There is a sudden realization here
that two Important tilings have hap
penedr
]. The league lias shown its
''teeth' 1 in foiling Greece and Hill
garia to aecept intervention and has
threatened economic penalties. Ordi
narily thi« might he considered a Kit
ropean "ahstraction." but if hoth
countries were to he penalized bv
economic blockade, America would
have to submit to an impairment of
her commerce with those two court
tries or resist Great Britain. Ftame
Italy and the other powers who were
to enforce a blockade. American in
volvetiient could hardly be avoided.
Combination Complicates.
2. The Locarno conference pled*
ing peace in Luiope atid a guaranteo
ot security means an uJi-Kurope
com hi na t ion which has never before
been contemplated seriously in the
history of American foreign police
America lias always been aide to pin
Berlin against London nr Fatis
against London ever since the davs
of Washington. Jefferson and Mon
toe, indeed even as lale as the Eu
ropean war when America sided with
London and Haris against Berlin.
Now comes a combi na t ion which
lias im plica lions that are not ait*>
get her comfortable for American dip
lonia ts. It is not expected that In
the immediate future, when Kttrnpean
countries have yet to settle their
debts to America, any unfriendli
ness would be manifest, but once the
debt agreements are out o f the wat
and all the favors possible ive bee|
extracted from the Cnited States, the
evolution of a Kuropean alliance that
will place the Fnited States on the
outside of Kuropean plans is con
sidered almost ine\ itable.
This would not ordinarily attract
attention, but it will tie noted thrtt
Kuropeans are in vailing Central and
South American enterprises and de
\ eloping trade relations there for
which the Fnited States has begun
to make a fight.
On the surface, there is not much
that Kuropean alliances can do to
hold back American commercial de
velppnient in the foreign field, because
of the predominance of available
capital in this country, but the
prospect of a diplomatic combine ihat
will unofficially work together against
America is not relished.
I ntil today Kurnpe has been eager
to have America in the League of
Nations. Some observers now he
lieve Kurnpe is beginning to see the
advantages of using the league
! against the Foiled States, assuming
! that America continues to stay out
side. which for a few years, at least.
! seems assured. Within a few months
the effect of the Locarno conference
may be assessed in terms of Ameri
can policy, hut there is some uneasi
ness already tsible.
