TO take advantage of the situation TO
let the world know that an A b c

Before the Niagara mediation some
hints OF the drift had been given
through the visit of Col. Roosevelt to
South America. The Colonel made sure
that his trip would not be a monoto-
nous repetition OF col rless receptions
by jumping into n discussion OF the
Monroe Doctrine. He got the attitude
OF the various South American coun-
tries on that subject with distinct
! ness.
The substance OF It all was that
each and all OF the stronger countries
felt that the doctrine was an imperti-
nenCe, since they could take care OF
themselves. Col. Roosevelt's position
in substance was that the doctrine did
not apply to anyAcountry which could
do without II. but that the evidence
was not convincing that various South
American countries could do without
4. II the Argentine Republic, for ex-
ample, was strong enough to maintain
its W territorial integrity as against
any possible European invasion then
the doctrine would not apply TO Ar
gentina. But there were other coun-
tries.
DR.. Zeballos. the former Minister
OF Foreign Affairs in Argentina, after
Col. Roosevelt's visit. promulgated
what he called the Zeballos-Roosevelt
protocol, modifying the Monroe Doc
trine in this sense. The world at
large, however. still views the Mon
roe Doctrine as something in itself
and does not seem to have heard of
the Ieballos- lsoosevelt protocol.

are some very marked national an
tagonisms and also racial antagonisms.
The mass of the Argentine popula-
ton. which is now largely of European
origin, is not especially fond Of the
Chileans, who lave a very large mix
ture OF Araucanian Indian blood. or OF
the Brazilians. who are principally OF
Portuguese blood. In this there is
some survival of the antagonism on
the Iberian peninsula between the
Portuguese and the Spaniards.
The leading public men in all three
countries have recognized these an
ia. ,onisms. They too have shared in
the nationalism of their own people
and have been ambitious to strengthen
their own country's influence, but they
have also seen clearly what the mass
| of the population still see only dimly,
| that this result is to be secured by
cooperation with the other countries
rather than by encouraging national
~antagonisms.
For the last ten years nearly all the
influential men in the three countries
have been seeking to cultivate a
| friendly spirit toward their n~eighbors,
At times they have met with severe
setbacks. Persistence is very marked
in the Latin American character, and
these public men have persisted until
| they made a notable impression on the
mass OF the people. Administrations
have changed. but there has been nc
reversal of this general policy Of mu-
/ tual Cancellation.
In consequence of these systematic
efforts in the three countries the
ground was well prepared for the
somewhat despairing appeal Of the
United States more thai a year ago
for help to end the Mexican embroglio
by means of mediation. The three
countries were in a position to act in

Any superficial manifestations Of
anti-American sentiment which may
crop out may Toe viewed VITA equa-

States really made the alliance possible

Of diplomatic equality.
For what seemed very good reasons,
several years ago the United States

was thereby enabled To raise its Legal

This was very gratifying to Brazil,
and there vas 4 dispns!tin n TO assume

TEACHERS MEETING
HELD AT TAF 7

The teachers in the vicinity OF
Taft have been having informal
meetings every other Saturday
for the discussion of educational
topics. At the last meeting the
Montessori System, Home Cred
its and Elementary Language
Work were discussed. The fol-
lowing teachers were present:
Mrs. E. |. Elder, Miss Kate Shell
lev. Miss Marie Carnahan, Miss
Margaret Ralston, and MIR. r. M.
Stannard. Patrons present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Stone, Mr..
Knight and Mrs. Stemple. Sup
ervisor ]. E Davis also attended
the meeting. An excellent lunch
was served by Mrs. Stone.
Those teachers deserve great
credit for the interest they are
taking in their school work, to
come long distances over bad
roads and through bad weather,
but they feel they are being well
repaid for their efforts.
! Teachers in other sections OF
the county might profit by the
example set by this progressive
bunch.
