menting on the naming of Manuel Con
zaies Hontoria, Liberal deputy, as q
delegate 10 the league OF nations con-
ference OF neutral nations, says that
the selection of person so closely, al
lied to Premier Romanones shows that
the Premier intends to continue follow
ing policy tending to closer relations
with the United States.
The Epoca thinks that this is a mis-
take. President Wilson's views. It de-
clares, are too idealistic, and It urges
that Spain ought rather to support
France and England, her neighbors, in
stepd of distant America.
A Madrid dispatch March 10. which
announced the naming of Senator Hon
toria to represent Spain at the neutral
nations conference. characterized him a s
a supporter of President Wilson's ideas.
The Romanones government as whole,
ii was added. entirely indorsed President
proposals, reserving only its de-
cision as to the reduction of armaments
and the fixing of military forces by
members of the league.
