this view also meets-approval with some
of the American delegates as we'll as
with leading officials of the administra-
ton. This, however, Involves some deli
cate considerations in connection with
pending controversies between some of
the South American republics.
There is some prospect that Mr.. Rock
hill, at present the United States COM
missioner at Pekin. will return in time
to attend the congress as the official
can republics, OF which he is the dlrec-
tor. He was instrumental in organiz-
ing the present congress and has been
greatly Interested In the work it might
accomplish. Thus far, however. there
has been no intimation that the state
department can spare his services from
iPekin, as the negotiations there will
continue thru the summer. His presence
In Mexico would require his departure
from Pekin not later than August.
Mr. Buchanan, one of the American
delegates, is director general of ths

but 1t is expected that his duties there
VIII permit him to leave for Mexico
about the middle OF September. Both he
and Mr.. Pepper, another of the dele
gates speak Spanish. Mr. Buchanan
having spent some time in Argentina a 8
United States minister there. while Mr..
Pepper has travelled extensively in
Spanish American countries during re-
cent years. Owing to the number of
Spanish delegates to the congress. the
official proceedings will be in Spanish.

WHAT FOUR YEARS MORE OF

Il is not necessary to review the in

majority to both houses Of congress.

Hence the minority car only bow in
submission. reserying the right of
criticism at any and all times.
The triumph Of the Republican par
~ shows very clearly what the peo-
pie desire and what they approve. The
leaders OF the Republican party will
therefore be guided by interest as
well as by inclination in carrying out
Che policy which has taken form dur

cd majority the voters Of the United
states have indicated their VIII The
president and his associates would
fail Ia their duty If they pursued for
the next four years any policy other
than the one which mas won the ap.
proyal o fthe majority We may know,
therefore, what 20 expect.
First and foremost we may count
upon the maintenance and perhaps
the strengthening OF the existing tariff
laws. The country, which undoubted
