DAYS OF QUIRsLlNG.
For days there has been quibbling
over details. One person in authority
declared today it would not be wrong
to say technically that the conrerees
are agreed on the principles of the
main issues, but that the constant
dragging in of details has caused an
endless going over of every subject.
at is a case of trying to do
things in the usual way at ar un-
usual time, he said. THE result is
the conference has deeenerated into
scramble for individual desires.
The Italians are nursing their
threat to withdraw, while the sug-
gestion is quietly coming from Pol
ish circles that unless they are
given Danzie they will take it by
force. The French and British are
still struggling with reparation
details, while numerous other
questions furnish constant ground
for argument.

Ing the provisions of the IA points ap-
parently was designed to bring about
q steadier basis for working out n

y portion of the press apparently is
preparing to place the responsibility
for delay upon President Wilson, fol-
lowing the lead suggested in British
and French interviews, stating that
an agreement will be reached by Eas-
ter. La Liberte openly declares the
British and French are in agreement
and that it only remains for Wilson
TO approve the decisions reached by
the big four during his illness. Amer
lean delegates have been totally un-
able to find any of the decisions said
to have been reached.

WILSON'S VIEWS
TOO IDEALISTIC
TO SUIT EPOCA
Madrid Newspaper Believes
Country Should Support
Ncighbors Instead

Madrid, March 19.-The conserNa-
tive newspaper Epoca in comment
ing on the naming of Manuel Zon-
zales Hontoria, a Liberty deputy, as
a delegate to the League of Nations
conference of neutral nations, says
that the selection of person so
closely allied to Premier Romanones
shows that the premier intends to
continue following II policy tend
ing to closer relations with the
United States.
The Epoca thinks this is a mis-
take. President Wilson's views, it
declares, are too idealistic, and it
urges that Spain ought rather to
support France and England, her
neighbors, instead of distant Amer
ica.
Premier Romanones has taken
note of the statements made by the
Epoca and has replied to them. The
foreign policy of Spain was well
known, he said, and the government
had clearly revealed its intentions,
for the information of the Cortes, on
various occasions. Consequently
everybody, he added, knew that
Spain had in no way turned away
from Great Britain and France, but
was proceeding in full agreement
with those two powers and with the
United States.

SHUT DOWN ONE

Another blast furnace is to be
closed down in the local steel plant
within the next few days. There
are seven furnaces in the plant, and
of these four are now shut down en-
tirely, and of the three remaining,
one is TO be closed down within
the next few days, leaving only two
in operation.
1t is thought that the two will be
kept in operation throughout the
present crisis in the steel industry
While matters seem rather discour-
aging at present the steel men seem
confident that matters will be right
ed within comparatively short
time when operations can be re
sumed in full.
Work at the two remaining blast
furnaces will be put on eight hour
schedule. All of the departments OF
the plant are now on eight hour
schedules with the exception of the
coke ovens and the roll shop.

the league. The United States Will
be represented on each body, and
since these bodies are international,
no action can be taken without the
consent of all. No action can be
taken by the league which is opposed
by the United States government un-
less such action should be against
the United States itself, and that
would not affect the Monroe Doc
trine.
Regards Doctrine Disastrous
"lf, on the other hand, the view is
that there ought to be complete
and 'watertight division between the
American continent and the rest OF
the world, then, no doubt, any ac-
tion in which America takes part
would be an infringement of the
Monroe Doctrine. For my part, /
should regard any such doctrine as
disastrous to the future of the world.
The war left the United States in a
position of enormous power. With
that gigantic power goes great re-
sponsibility to the world at large
and to herself. The peace of the
world is not only a European, but
an American interest. America can
not afford to say that she has no
interest in what goes on in Europe.
If she did she would be false to the
world at large and to herself
