Latin Circles at Washington Indicate
It Will Keep Out

tanned in Latin-Amerlcan circles.

diplomats are saying, IT told you so,' over
the threatened rupture of relations between
the American Government and General Car

before the conference between Secretary
Lansing and the diplomatic representatives
of Argentine, Brazil, Chill Bolivia, Uruguay
and Guatemala at New York, at which 1t
was decided to recognize CarranZa the
Iatin-American officials had decided to
press their claims to the point where the
stand of the United States became unbend-
ing and then unanimously agreed with the
State Department
This policy which was followed, resulted
In the recognition OF Carranza, much
against the judgment of many of the con-
ferees. For this reason, among others.
Latln-A America is now determined to Keep
out of the Mexican tangle-
In addition, It was pointed out that
Iatin-America has no material interest at
stake, there being virtually no South Amer
ican capital invested In Mexico, II Mexico

American countries they might be more
inclined to take some action, 1t was said.
But although Latin-America will be "neu-
trail" there Is considerable public opinion
against United States intervention, 1t was
said, This undoubtedly will be voiced par
ticuIarIy wishing to appeal to the anti
United States sentiment in South America.

TILLMAN SUGGESTS
$3O,OOO,OOO WARSHTP
Urges Drafting of Plans for YES
sci That Could "Whip a
Whole Fleet"

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Chairman Till
man today urged tho Senate subcommittee.
drafting plans for the enlarged American
navy, to authorize ship of 10000 tons,
995 feet In length, armed with Is 1S-inch
rifles with speed of 35 knots to cost
$40, 900 900.
This ship would have approximately twice
the power of any vessel anoat. 1t would
be the largest craft that could pass through
the Panama Canal.
1T could whip a whole fleet of ordinary
battleships," said Tilman. When the Ore
gon was built we thought her 12-inch guns
invncible. her size--about 10000 or $4,000
tons-gigantlc, and her 1S-knot speed
marvellous Every new type since has gone
up a notch in power, speed and displace-
ment.
why not take up a half-dozen notches
at once and have the most powerful ship
in the world?"
Naval experts have told TiIlman, he says,
the ship is entirely feasible
He would name the ship the United
States
Indications were that the committee
would adopt the general board recommen-
dalton of four dreadnoughts and three
battle-crulsers for the first years program
If Tillman's ship is approved 1t will be
counted as two battleshlps.
