Will Form a
New Alliance

From South America comes the
information that the three great
states OF Argentina, Brazil and Chile
are to form what is styled the A B C
union for their mutual serf-protec-
ton. The action of these powers in
forming union is actuated by re-
cent disputes with foreign powers
IN which the single country involved
has found itself at serious disad-
vantage. The quarrel between Eng
land and Argentina, that between the
United States and Chile, and the dis
pute between Italy and Argentina
are cited as examples Of the Difficult
ties incurred by the unconsolidated
republics. frequently in times past
these states and others of Central
and South America have been sub
lected to humiliations because of the
dictation Of foreign powers. 1t is to
avoid a recurrence of these humilia=.
mons that the alliance is formed.
The principals in the formation OF
this union scott at the objections OF
outsiders that the alliance is foolish
~ the absence of real perils threat
ening them. But the old story Of
the man who locked the door after
inc horse was stolen seems to serve
as a sufficient warning, and they
point out that because the thief is
not now in the act of stealing, he is
nevertheless ready to do so the first
chance he gets.
The step taken by these republics
: an indication that, at least in their
own estimation, they have reached

'setion OF Uncle Sam. AS to what

colonizing idea Practiced.

we are willing and more than
anxious to do our share, and since
Catholics were early recognized fac
tors in the development Of the coun-
try and now are among its most
valuable citizenship. we feel that we
have the moral support and approval
Of our fellow citizens in bringing in
Others. The colonizing idea is the
most practical, for il gives the Cath
olic at once the religious and educa-
tional advantages that he had in the
community which he leaves. The
first question asked by Catholic
homeseeker is, Is there church
and a school? to which is often
added, is there resident priest?'
1T is to meet this demand that
we opened the colony OF st. Charles
in the Smith River Valley. We have
10000 acres of land in one body, sit

the state, This land is we'll within
the range of the man of moderate
means on terms that are enticing.
II is handled by honest and conscien.
tious owners that have made every
provision to help and interest the
homeseeker. We selected this par
ticular territory in order to have
something tangible and definite to
offer to the Catholic homeseeker,
who, like Others, is apt to roam aim
lessly, spend his money and return
dissatisfied to settle in some isolated
district.
The colonizing idea, when prop
erly carried out, is the most desir-
able because the man in a new coun-
try, no matter how favorable the
conditions may be, needs encourage
ment, support, counsel and advice
ms ne can ger more easily in con-
gregated groups than in isolated con
ditions.
I'VE are convinced that the asso-
Citations, the intercourse, the society,
the combination that helps in attain
ing this end is more quickly realized
