HAS RETURNED
Has Found Out the Trouble
in the Latin-American
Republics.

Washington. April 1s.-Secretary
Knox returned to the capital today,
satisfied that he had accomplished
the mission upon which he was sent
by President Taft to the Caribbean
republics. Mr.. Knox expressed him
self as pleased with his trip. which
despite it's hardships. had no i'll eff
fects upon the secretary OF Mrs.
Knox.
The secretary. in formal state
ment to the press. said that two
forces actuated by selfish motives.
had operated to perpetuate misrule
in the countries he visited by mis-
representing the attitude of the state
department toward these govern
ments. One force is domestic to
these countries and the other is in
the United States. BY personal con-
tact with the heads of the govern
ments visited the secretary believes
that he has been able, partially at
least. to counteract tho influences of
which no complains.
He also emphasized what he con-
siders the necessity of helping the
weaker republics to avoid specific
conditions in which the United States
might be embarrassed by its assertion
of the Monroe doctrine.
