SCHEME OF UNITED STATES

Berlin, October 26.-The Pan-Ai nerican congress at the City of Mexico has caused much press discussion here. the general tone of which is to belittle and be skep- tical of it's success It is interpret ed as being a scheme of the United States to increase it's influence over Latin Anne rica- An alliance between the United States and the latter is regarded as chime ricai owing to the racial differences, the only connecting between them being pro nounced to be merely geographical.
 "The fact is," says the Berliner Neu- este Nachricten. "Pan-Americanism is more lacking on practical basis than pan-Slavisn"
 The paper continues:
 ''The pan-American idea is solely capa- ble of development upon the basis of the subjection of all America to the influence of the United States. The republics of Anglo-Saxon and Latin America differ so greatly respecting territorial conditions and the composition of the populations that closer union is only conceivable upon the suppostion of a decisive pre- dominane of the United States GrdVe TOT Monroe DOC1rine.
 Dr. Hans Wagner discusses the subject at length in Der Tag. He says the Mon- roe doctrine no longer means America for Americans, but North americans. Dr. | Wagner hopes for an International com mission which will prepare a we'll mer- ited grave for the beautiful Monroe | phrase.
 The Cologne volks Zeitung calls this Utopian and also regards pr. Wagner as being wrong in thinking President Roose- welt intends to adopt harsher policy to- wards Great Britain, since the latter has already conceded all that the United l States wants.
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung refers to alleged attempts in American newspapers | to create, an anti-German sentiment by | the assertion that Germany wants to es- | tablish colonies in South America, ad- | hitting that the Pan-American news l papers have given abundant cause there | for The paper classifies the whole idea l as being among the most splendid castle | built in the air. The Cologne Volks Zei- | tung also says it will be but one hundred I to one that suspicious will be cast upon l Germanys policy, because she has de- l cided to establish an information bureau in Berlin for tthgrants under the man agement of an official who was formerly a German consul in South America.
 Colonial Affairs Discussed.
 Colonial affairs and the establishment of an emigration bureau have been widely
 discussed this week. The object Is to
 guide German emigration into the colon
 les, but the press Is largely skeptical of
 its success.
 Prof. Hans Meyer who has travelled in the colonies, recently wrote a series of articles for the Tagliche Bundeschau, arguing In favor of a radical change in the system of governing the colonies. He says the government must abandon the centralization which at Berlin holds the colonies in bonds, claiming 1t is better to give them self-government and to abolish the imperial appropriations for the col onies, except in the case of providing for the troops and naval stations for their protection.
 The colonial organ of the colonial bu- reau and the colonial secretary reject | Professor Meyers plan which 1t says would injure the colonies immensely.
 The Freisinnige Zeitung points to the fact that self-government Is impossible for German East Africa, since there are only 2S9 Germans there
