HILE-ARGENTINA
 UNION IS CLOSER
Diplomatic Visits Bring About
 Better Understanding

Buenos Aires. Nov. 30, (Correspon- dence of the Associated Press. )--Ar- gentina and Chile evidently have been drawn closer together as the result of the visit to this city of the special Chilean embassy which was composed cordial reception was accorded to the visitors by the Argentine government.
 The Chilean embassy came to Buenos Aires to participate in the un- yelling of a monument to the Chilean hero, O'Higgins, on the Chilean inde- pendence day, and the Argentine newspapers have commented at great length on the mission as cementing even more closely the ties of friend ship between Chile and Argentina. In the eyes of foreign, residents this friendship is becoming more and more one of common opposition to the in- vasion of rOreign interests.
 Senor Vial Solar, a prominent Chilean who was a member of the embassy gave out an interview in which he criticized the fact that all important Argentine railways are foreign owned. He said these should be taken over by the Argentine gov ernment and that the governments of Argentina and Chile should take over especially the Transa dine line, which is British owned The entire interview was devoted to telling Argentina it should stand on it's own feet without foreign aid.
 Persons close to President Irigoyen say that Dr. Bulnes, head of the Chilean envoys, talked to the presi- dent along the same lines and that a closer union between the two republics was discussed with the view of mak- ing them economically independent of foreign nations, especially Great Britain and the United States.
 During the visit of the Chileans. President Trigoyen was almost pro- digal in personal attentions to pr Bulnes. Breaking a habit, hitherto inveterate since his assumption of the government the president attended the official banquet in honor of the em bassy at the government house as also a luncheon given at the national live stock exposition by the authori- ties of the Argentine Rural society.
 The German residents of Argentine and Chile have heartily praised this obvious rapprochement of the two republics which, though close neigh bors and conventionally cordial, had not been exceptionally good friends in recent years.

Library Notes.

Don't forget that books are needed for soldiers. Good stories of the sort young men like. They are< wanted for hospitals and transports.
 The camp libraries are sowing seed. A newspaper published in a southern city of 130, 900 people says:
 If we mean never to have a public library in this city we are doing q. mighty dangerous thing to send books to soldiers. How terrible it would be if they form the Ina bit of reading and then come home and~ demand a public library. It would appear that some of our towns people feel toward public library pretty much as an old gentleman who lived in a small town in which there was no inn, felt about the proposition to build one. He was opposed to it, he said, because if any gentleman came to town he would entertain him and he didn't want to encourage anybody who wasn't a gentleman to come to town. We are willing to buy a new book now and then and read it in the privacy of our own homes. but we are not willing to encourage the general reading of books by building a home for them."

\ LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Viscount Grey, foreign secretary of Great Britain when war was declared, delivered decidedly friendly speech friendly toward the United States yesterday during which he took oc- casion to remark that the freedom of the seas and a league of nations are so inscparably associated that one cannot be considered without the other.
 Despite the fact that a league of nations has been discussed at diff fcrent times during the past three centuries. the general public has feeble understanding of what the phrase really means and that is not to be wondered at when leading statesmen grope in the dark and are unable to give it specific defni- ton. Discussion of this subject would have a wholesome worldwide effect if speakers would declare which scheme for a league of nations they had in mind Otherwise confusion is unavoidable.
 Mark Sullivan, editor of Golfers Weekly who has recently returned from visit to foreign lands. informs us that the league of nations is on the tip of every tongue and pen in England where the subject is perhaps more nearly understood than in America. But there are three dis tinct schools. H. c. Wells. the writer, is known as favoring a strong league in which the military and natural re sources of all members would be pooled for the common welfare and which would even regulate interna- tional trade. At the other extreme is Lord Robert Cecil, of the weak leaguers, who believes a league of nations could discharge it's duties by declaring an economic boycott against that member-nation which declined to abide by it's decisions and declared war on a fellow member. Viscount moderate league although he inti- mated recently in a public speech that he favored employing the mili- tary strength of the league to su0due any bellicose member.
 Concerning disarmam ent. Niscount Grey is indefinite. a policy followed by most English leaders until very recently. In a speech made some time a go he handled the disarma1n ent question with gloves and laid blame on Germany for the race for naval su- premacy between Berlin and London. He said Germany led the way up the bill and should be the first to lead the way down, concluding with: There can be no talk of disarmament until Germany, the great armer, has disarmed" Now Germany has dis armed, or has been disarmed; the gloomy procession of dreadnaughts, cruisers, destroycrs' and submarines that made their way to the Firth of Forth was testim ony of this fact. Does Viscount Grey still think that England should begin to disarm?
 Among other points, to be brief. Viscount Grey believes league of nations should prevent tariff discrim- nations. should make use of the economic boycott machinery now in operation and should insist that spheres of influence be abolished as well as provide administrators for : weaker and less highly organized na- tions.
 Until the atmosphere clears, 1t is hardly worth while for the average : man to clutter up his mind with league of nation puzzles. Within a
