ter republics nothing but prosperity,

ly failed to prove convincing There's

an amazingly widespread conviction

that the Marines are prepared to fol

low the American dollar wherever our

capital takes root. The recent experi

ences in Haiti and the Dominican Re

public, having been succeeded bv cur

deep in the minds of Latin Americans

a fear that our disinterestedness in

their aifairs is more asserted than ac

American diplomacy in the eternal

Tacna-Arica controversy has not been

very impressive in Latin America. It

it more tharf four years since the good

offices of the United States were ten

dered to Chile and Peru, for purposes

of settling their ancient territorial

squabble, and yet it is as far from so

lution as ever. Uncle Siam accepted the

role of arbiter, made his decision that

the scrap should be coqiposed by

means of a plebiscite, and then failed

to take such steps as were necessary

to bring about acceptance of the arbi

tration decreed. The are people

who respect authority and expect it

to be exercised by those clothed with

it. The “Colossus of the North” does

not loom in some Latin-American eves

as quite so formidable and awe-inspit

Hughes, acting as chairman of

I the v\ ashington Armament Confer

j ence, flung his historic bombshell into

that midst by proposing the scrapping

of the most powerful battleships afloat.
