GENERAL MACARTHUR TALKS
ABOUT PHILIPPINE PROBLEM

a force from an unknown country until
we had tested It for some time and
learned the real purpose of its coming.

speaks Spanish. There has been no
common language, because the Span
iards kept the large majority broken up
in dialects as assurance against in
trigue against Spanish domination.
Their ideal is now for a common an
guage, and the masses can learn eng
lish as easily as Spanish. For the
reason that we have a philanthrOpic
duty to perform in this and hundreds
of other respects, we can never relin-
quish the islands. The American flag
must stay there"
The commercial aspect Of the islands
has changed little since we took pos
session, mainly for the reaso that so
long as the -insurrection continued cap
ital hesitated to go in. The business
houses that controlled before we went
there had been established for years.

consequently gradual. The Spanish
financial interests are protected by the
treaty of Paris. The financial inter-
ests of other foreigners are protected
by international law. To get in and
secure the business Americans will
have to do just as Americans do when
they go into any other new field of
operations. Undoubtedly possession of
the islands by this government will re-
dOund to the advantage of Americans,
but our chief advantage will be in the
fact that we are satisfied to do bust
ness on smaller profits than Inc for
eigners established there. They are not
satisfied with less than forty per cent.
and sixty per cent. is not unusual. Our
people win do business on fifteen per
cent. This fact is already recognized
by the established commercial circles,
hence the Manila business men do not
look with favor on the advent Of
Americans among them.

WAR CLOUDS GATHER
IN SOUTH AMERICA

New York, Dec. 31.-Germany's dis.
pute with Venezuela oven the collection
Of claims against the latter country
held by German subjects is rapidly be,
coming Of international Importance.
Germany is prepared to seize Venezue-
Ian ports If necessary to enforce her
demands. 1t is feared President Cas-
trO will try to meet force with force.
France also has claims against Vene-
zuela and may follow Germany's dem.
Onstration by taking similar action.
Great Britain is still another European
power to whose subjects Venezuela has
failed to pay Indebtedness due, and like
Germany, she may use force to compel
settlement.
The United States, deeply interested
in the outcome Of Venezuela's troubles,
is determined that no power shall In
fringe upon the Monroe doctrine and i
doing all it can as peacemaker. One
important result Of its representations
is Germany's decision to postpone her
demonstration long enough to give
President Castro a chance to prove his
ability or inability to cope with revolu-
tionists who are trying to overthrow
him.
The Venezuelan government declares
that Hern KnOop is aiding the reVolu-
tionists against President Castro and
Is not a fit person to deal with the au-
thpritles.

AN INJUNCTION STOPS
THE RAILROAD MERGER

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-Judge Elliott
OF the District Court Of Hennepin coun-
ty yesterday granted a temporary or
der restraining the officers Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
from retiring the preferred stock of
that company. The order was issued
on the application of Peter Power of
New York, who holds 100 shares Of the
common stock. 1t was supposed that
the failure Of the action brought in the
New York courts by holders of pre-
terred stock cleared away the last OBJ
stacle to the retirement of the pre-
ferred on January LIST, leaving the Hill
interest in control of the road through
bs majority of the common stock.
1t is inferred, although it does not so
appear, that the present action is
brought in behalf of the Hartman in
berest to prevent control passing out
Of its hands for another year, or until
the legal standing Of the Northern Sc
curities Company is settled.
Helena, Mont, Dec. 3O-No action
was taken to-day at the meeting of the
governors and attorneys general of the
Northwestern states called to consider
plans for opposing the proposed cOnsol-
idation Of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington railway sys-
TENS. From the discussion at these
meetings, however, it was considered
probable that the plan of Governor
Van SAINT Of Minnesota win be in
dorsed by the executives Of other
states who were present and that the
fight against the railroad consolidation
will be carried to a finish.

A student at the state university in
Washington starved himself to death
and left a wife and baby destitute that
he might secure an education. This
is a practical demonstration Of the
often-stated fact that knowledge is
not confined to the schools. This man
should have learned first of all that
he was responsible for the welfare
Of his wife and baby, and that the
stomach, as well as the brain needs
feeding.
