Uruguayans Fighters,
So Says Roger Babson
BY ROGER w. BABsON

Written in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The people of Uruguay are GER
tatnly comical. They break all
presidents in that they both love
to farm and love to fight.
For years they fought for
Spain; for years they fought
against Spain. They next fought
Brazil for a while and then for a
change fought Argentine. For the
past half century they have been
fighting one another.
These people, however, are in
teiligent and of pure blooded
Spanish descent. So far as their
appearance goes, you would not
know whether you were in Mon
tevideo or Chicago, excepting that
the Montevidians are stronger,
larger and more healthy.
They are fresh air loving peo-
pie, used to riding in the saddle
and defending themselves against
foes-both of man and beast.
Many Immigrants
Already nearly one-quarter of
the population of this little
country is foreign born. This
immigration has thus far come
largely from the best parts
of Italy and Spain. These immi-
grants are quiet, law abiding peo-
pie and as they mix with the Uru-
guyans their children should be
peaceful as we'll as Industrious.
Moreover, nothing so quiets
people as does prosperity and this
the people OF Uruguay should en-
JOY much In future years.
l have been much surprised to
find the strong following that So
cialism has in Montevideo. | saw
many symptoms OF this In Argen-
tine; but there the socialists have
made no Roadway with the gov
eminent. In Uruguay, however,
ideas tending toward state social
ism have been frankly counten-
anced.
Reds Long In Power
Briefly, the voters of Uruguay
are divided into two main parties
The whites make the party of
the country districts, which party
has stood for the church and con-
servatism.

Panama Canal Is Now
Paying Expenses

The Panama canal will have earned
in the first year of its operation suf-
ficient to pay all its running expenses
and probably leave small surplus,
according to the figures now being
compiled in the Office of the canal
auditor. The loss now is about per
cent as against 20 per cent at the end
of February. The deficit o. akoa.
20 per cent incurred during the first
eight months of the waterways
operation has been nearly eliminated
and will be completely wiped out by
June 80, when the first year of opera
ton will end.
Nearly every month of the last
nine have shown an increase in the
tolls earnings. Tolls for April, how
ever, were slightly lower than those
for March. which were a record. 1t
is declared the tolls for May will
equal if not exceed those for March.
