just in it's dealings. was emphasized. He
could not believe there was any desire on
her part to humiliate Chilli He felt posi-

assumed when the French occupied
Mexico. To the United States, continued
Senor Jordan, Chill and all other
South American republics must look for
protection in the expoundinR and the en-
