MONOPOLY
Is Scheme Of Panama Govern
ment and United States
Makes Objections.

/ Correspondence of Associated Press
E'AN.AMA a, Ape. 24.-fFhe Panama
government has put in force what is
described as a mOnopolistic scheme
for the colonization and exploitation
sof the San Bias coast on the Atlantic
5Focoan to which the American govern
iment has interrosed objections. The
United States pointed out that the
scheme would greatly interfere with
a profitable trade in cocoanuts and
other products which the San Bias
Indians conduct with the New Eng
land states.
Under the presidential decree, re-
Gently promulgated. President Porras
set aside q large section OF the San
Bias Indian region, lying between
Colon on the west and Cape Thur
on on the east. for colonization nur-
poses. The decree states that all OF
the trading With the section should
be through the port Of Colon, only III
craft flying the Panaman nag. This
would in effect close out many small
vessels Of other Municipalities which
now enter the little San Bias ports.
1t is a question here whether the
scheme of the Panaman administra-
tion will meet with success because
nf the very hostile nature of the San
BIAS Indians. The tribe4sis very
large and nowerful one and has hith-
serto maintained its Independence or
any constituted authority at Panama
or elsewhere. It has never recognized
the Panama republic and never paid
taxes or export duties for. the sup
port Of the government. III the past
the Indians have resisted any effort
by Panama officials to interfere with
them and on occasions have driven
Panama police officials out OF the
country
TO aid in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
President Porras established a colon
inl police with headquarters In tho
district and, organized on strictly
military lines. They will be charged
not only with maintaining order
among the colonistst but also with the
preventionsand quelling or Indian up
risings. a small sunboat. the San
Bias. will patrol the coast 10 prevent
smuggling.
1T 1t is spointed out that the purpose
of the scheme is the raising %of rev.
.enues for. the government which for
the last two years has been in fnan-
cial difficulties.

WHAT'S TO BE DONE ABOUT BELGIUM?

It may have been noticed by the readers of
newspapers that there is not much being said about
Belgium at this time The Information we have
from that little country is that conditions are de-
plorablc there and that the people are on the verge
Of starvation, but as to its future there is not a
word
Most assurcdly the allies have responsibilities
for the present condition of Belgium. There is no
doubt about its deplorable condition The people
there are starving. II is under the IRON heel of
ruthless military discipline and no pen can picture
the miseries of its people There is every reason
for an effort the part Of the allies to redeem it
at the earliest possible moment but nothing is be.
ing done to indicate thought on their part OF
Belgium or its future
Great Britain is peculiarly responsible for the
conditions in Belgium now, because in defying Ger
many, Belgium depended most on the support that
was promised by Great Britain 1t was promised
that its frontiers would be kept intact by British
Md, but when the test came it was not done and
Belgium became a sacrifice
1t is not to be charged that Belgium was de
hberately deserted on that occasion, but it is
fact that Britain was not prepared to carry out
the promises it had made Ii was simply a case
of neglect as all the world knows by this time
When the promise was made Great Britain knew
it could not keep it, because it lacked the troops
Therefore it is the duty of Great Britain t
drive the Germans out of Belgium without delay
if it can be done II is not saying too much t
add that every sacrifice should be made to do so
and if it is done the whole world will approve

MAETERLINCK FEARS FOR BELGIUM

Nearly every Belgian believes that the time is
near when Germany will be compelled to withdraw
from the unfortunate country where armies have
struggled for supremacy during the past few
months. While the German military authorities
are taking steps which would create the impression
that their government Is planning the annexation
of Belgium, the allies are confident that they
eventually will secure the ground which will en-
able them to clear King Alberts country Of the
invaders
Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian playwright,
is fearful that the withdrawal of the kaiser :
armies will be attended with further destruction
of historic buildings and works of art The cities
OF Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp and Client contain
marvellous treasures Of architecture Maeternck
declares that the Grand Place of Brussels on
which stands the Hotel de vile one Of the most
beautiful buildings in the world, has been mined
by the Germans In his opinion the snoment the
invaders are compelled to retreat they will spring
the mine by SO doing they will destroy an in
heritance which has benefited the world
Maeterlinck went to Italy for the purpose of
pleading the cause of his country. During the
course of his remarks he said As for America
she represents better than any other nation the
future II behoOves her TO think of the days that
are 10 follow this war When the great peace
descends to earth 1t must not find the earth de-
serted, shorn Of all its adornments Those spots
are not numerous where the efforts Of centuries
the success achieved by the will power, patience
and genius Of a race, have made this earth beau.

death now hovers is one of those sacred spots

SOME DEFINITIONS OF NEUTRALITY

Neutrality is word that has more than one
meaning, according to recent developments 1t
means different things to different people To
some II may mean moral suspension of Judgment
and as such, becomes n virtue almost impossible
OF accomplishment
To another element neutrality refers only to
The political meaning of the term. Individuals
may discuss and believe as they will provided the
government stands firmly upon the rock Of equal
rights and privileges to each party
Between the two lies q horderland occupied
by that proportion of humanity which accepts the
legal definition and carries it INTO the realm Of
speech, but which permits the Judgment of reason
IN the matter provided il remains silent opinion
Any one of these definitions meets the require
mens of international duty The treaty law COM
mands the legal preservation of n suspended iudg-
ment. President Wilson has asked that this 20
over the boundary IN the matter of the present war
into the domain of speech This he believes TO be
an essential brrntSc of the influence of public
argument IN exciting partisans, and nation large.
y composed of immigrants cannot but have men
whose natural procviucs will he 10 take sides
with vehemcnce
On the other hand the time may come in such
an issue as now faces the world where men may
consider II moral duty to take sides This will
not affect the national position of neutrality but
u WIN proclaim the sympathleS OF citizens in such
away as to minimize the importance of the nation
position. 1t will be remembered that England was
neutral during the civil war, hut the British peo.
pie were prejudiced in favor Of one or the other
OF the American positions
Here is the distinction between political and
moral neutrality Where nations are involved DO.
litlcally, suppressed or suspended Judgment il
Justified But when the issue becomes purely
moral The individual cannot escape a decision At
times that higher morality compels speech
