Disturbed by Secretary Knox.

The governments of the other American
republics have been very much disturbed
by the energetic policy which Secretary
Knox has adopted in his treatment of
Chile and Nicaragua. 1t is something
entirely new In diplomatic intercourse.
and they do not understand it. For ex-
ample, he recently gave the government
of Chile notice that unless it compiled
with his demands in the Alsop case in ten
days. he would give the Chilean min
lister here his passports. The genial Mr.
Cruz, who represents the republic of
Chile at Washington. believing that his
government would not yield. began to
pack his lares and penates in order to be
able to leave the country Immediately
wheE the time was up, and he spent
several sleepless nights trying to devise
some means of conciliating the United
States But, finally. his government
yielded to the demands of Secretary konx
and the Alsop claim has been referred to
King Edward VII for arbitration.
The policy of this administration
toward Nicaragua is also giving the good
people Of the other American republics
a great deal of concern, and after an
exchange of cablegrams between nearly
all the capitals of America, Mr.. Creel
was sent here from Mexico to persuade
Secretary Knox not to create any radical
presidents which might disturb the har-
mony OF the hemisphere and come up to
plague us hereafter.
Mexico and all the other American
republics are exceedingly anxious that
the United States will not set an example
of assisting or even encoura ging
revocation against constitutional author
ity, as we are now doing in Nicaragua
because they cannot tell when they may
be in a similar situation. They are
very anxious that the government of the
United States shall not establish a pre-
cedent OF landing military forces upon the
soil of another nation without a formal
declaration of war. They consider il
violation Of sovereignty, and IL it 10 done

COUNCIL OF WAR YESTERDAY
Forty Thousand Employees Of Shirt
Waist Industry in New York
Complain of Injustice.

NEW YORK, December 2O.-Hailed as
leaders of the 10000 girls who are on
strike in the shirt waist industry, Mrs
o. II. p. Belmont, mistress OF millions
and a militant suffragette, and Miss Anne
Morgan. daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan,
accepted yesterday at a conference of Ia
Dor leaders the responsibility Of direct
ing the strike.
Forthwith these two newly appointed
generals outlined a campaign which vet
eran labor leaders described as both bril-
liant and daring. It provides for a show
down fight with the police department on
the issue OF how far the poice may go
into strikers territory. It further pro-
vfdes for recruiting from the ranks OF
Barnard and vassar college girls.

Trade With South America.

All these questions are likely to come
up at the next conference, and it will
therefore be recognized that we ought
to appoint our wisest and ablest men
to represent this government there. The
commercial situation is encouraging. Al
though the volume Of trade between the
Latin-American countries and Europe has
fallen off considerably during the last
few years. the share Of the United States
is gradually increasing, and both i'm
ports and exports for the year 1909 will
probably surpass all previous records.
The total trade will probably reach SEQ,
OOO,O for the year. as against $233, 900.
600 in 1908 and $129. 600 ten years ago,
in the year 1899.
Unfortunately, however. $115 0O0, 900 of
the 26OOOO.OO0 consists of imports and
less than half as much, $S5. O00.O0O is ex-
ports of merchandise from this country,
leaving a balance of $50, O0O,0O against US.
The imports. however, consist of food
products and raw materials which do not
grow in this country and which are nee
essary for our prosperity. We must have
them; 1t is a good deal better to get
them from our American neighbors than
from any other part of the world: and
the great increase not only shows the i'm
proved purchasing power of this country,
but the healthy condition of our trade.
Coffee is the largest item. and during
the ten months OF the calendar year end
ing October 81 the imports from South
from Brazil-have been
valued at Sd. 100000. against $4,000 900 in
the same months of the preceding year.
