Grand Army national encampments
will do without parades in the future
owing to the advanced age of the
veterans. 1t is felt that the annual
parade has of late years tended to
shorten the lives of those participat-
ing, and that such marches are not
desirable, especially when the en-
campments are held in August.

Root and Pan-Amcrica.

I'd The exact intent of Secretary Roots
Tendance at the Pan-AmerIcan Con-
gresJ in Rio Janero next July has never
been very comprehcnsivcly announced.
hut the governments natural wish to
strengthen the ties between itself and
the Latin-American republics furnishes
the obvious and doubtless the correct ex-
PLANTATION. The gradual pre-cmpling OF
other available parts Of the worlds sur
face must inevitably 'haEe the effect of
throwing South American more and
more prominently before European, and
to come when the Monroe Doctrine is to
lie put TO some sudden and severe test,
the attitude of the southern republics
will lie of the highest Importance.
Mr. Root has Interested himself
thoroughly In getting the rotations be-
tween this country and South America
upon a definite, equitable and Intelligent
basis. His latest suggestion In this d.
1eci,on looks TO submitting to the second
Hague conference a treaty for tho arbl-
7
South American country. The plan
would certainly COMMAND instant APP
proyal everywhere in this country. Our
complications with South American
finances have been the most unsatisfac-
tory feature of our relations with that
continents. The Monroe Doctrine. like
nearly everything else that we know Of
has nm under side. The nation which
claims the right TO exercise a policy of
exclusion IN regard to any region or ter
rtory and labels 1t as closed TO foreign
exploitation, must Itself take steps. 50 tho
argument runs, TO guarantee the safety
Of life INIT, the permanence OF invest
ments, and the stability of commerce,
SO, by a not unnatural step. the United
States has come to find itself regarded
as the general European agent for the
collection. of bad debts In South America,
The position Is an uneyiable one ana
likely enough TO lead to ombarrassments.
TO refer the whole question of intercon-
linenta! finances to arbitration would be
to extricate us from a situation neither
capitalists wish 10 lend money TO shaky
governments on this side OF the water,
they should be al perfect liberty 10 do so;
but It IS greatly TO our interest to have Ii
explicitly understood that they do so IN
all cases az their own risk
