obliged to pay Mexican bandits for
his release from ignominious captiv-

partment.
The State Department is unable TO
make reply to Carranza whose deter
mination not to pay was received at
the department yesterday. Depart
ment officials discussed Carranza's at
titude from various viewpoints yes
terday. The general official opinion
was that under international law Car
rama would not be liable IL it were
not shown that his government were
not negligent in the matter OF protec-
ton.
In order to establish whether there
was negligence it will be necessary to
get a full statement from Jenkins who
is still in the hospital and has been
unable to send the necessary detailed
account Of the kidnapping. This re-
port may be received early next week.

Organization Will Be Chamber of
Commerce Between North
And South America.

Oficial Washington last night re-
garded as highly significant the an
nouncement that John Barrett. after
fourteen years of continuous serv-
i've. would retire as director general
OF the Pan American Union. on June
30. 1920. to become president Of a
great. new, unofficial pan American
can organization"
Mr.. Barrett declines to speak OF
the new organization. except to say
that 1t Is backed by the LEADING
men of all the American countries. ."
and that it will be the most prac-
tical and comprehensive interna-
tional combination for the develop
ment of international commerce and
goodwill that has ever been or
ganized and undertaken"
The new organization Is expected
to be a sort of Chamber of Com
merce between North and South
America. The great opportunity
that the United States is now recog-
nized to have in furtherlng its trade
with South America. makes the in
auguration of such a new organiza-
tion most opportune at the present
time, officials here think. and it will
be a great factor in Americas future
