Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Stillman are
contemplating having extensive i'm

which is necessary.

though 1t Is expected many or these
historic controversies will be referred
to the league of nations as the logical
tribunal for their consideration.
Should the status of pan America
be changed as a result of a possible
new international sea policy. 1t is
expected Latin American nations as
a whole will make representations
asking for modification Of what is
said to be regarded as a limitation
of their rights of sovereignty by the
United States. Investigation of the
league of nations OF Colombia's al
legged assistance to the German navy
by permitting the use of her islands
also is regarded as probable.
Many diplomats interested in the
league of nations believe boundary
disputes, especially those in remote
sections of Latin-America, are largely
due to the lack OF accurate surveys
and the dearth OF scientifically col
lected historical data. They are con-
fident that by assisting In the prep
aration of this data the league can
remove many possible causes of Sc
rious differences.

The method of settling the Russian

But while the conferees acted with
unexpected celerity on the Russian

y Eaf1s, Jan. 22.--(A. Pit VIII
rsS kbly be several weeks before any
Latin american questions VIII be
considered by the peace congress be-
cause of the more pressing nature Of
the European problem. The Tacna-
africa dispute between Chile. Peru
and Bolivia is the only situation in
Latin America, but it seems even
this is not likely to command atten-
ton before the league of nations is
formed.
The league is expected to be espe-
ciaIly qualified to deal with boundary
questions in a scientific manner.
The United States has many ex-
perts in Paris with full information
about all South and Central Ameri-
can questions which are likely to be
brought to the attention of the dele
gates. The boundary dispute between
Guatemala and Honduras, in which
Secretary Lansing was chosen as ar
bitrator, is said to he moving toward
settlement and probably can be ad-
justed without reference to the peace
congress. AS yet, Colombia has not
made any overtures in reference to
her differences with the United
States and no formal steps have been
