Chilli has been for years ruled by
small ohgarchy of wealthy landholders,
and While their rule has been far from
democratic, 1t has been liberal, orderly,
Progressive and efficient beyond that of
any uJher South American State The
quiuqueunial Presidential election is
now approaching and it has raised the
hrst serious political struggle between
the present President, Balmaceda, and
the ruling majority in the Senate and
House. The current issue Is the
attempt of Balmaceda to nominate a
candidate, Sanfuentes, little to the lik-
ing or the Liberal majority; but the
Teal point Of difference is the old strug-
gle between an irresponsible executive.

Tor the fact that Chill in her career OF
conquest has greatly strengthened her
army and navy, and this weapon may
prove destructive to those which have
