erosion threatening any one OF them
from outside nations and for arbitration
of inter American disputes was proposed
bv DIR. Baltazar Br,im, president OF tru-
c1iay. in addressing the students OF the
University of Montevideo tonight.
IS a step in the formation of such
league DR. Brum declared, other American
countries should make a declaration slmi-
lar 10 the Monroe Doctrine. placing them
on the same footing as the United States
for Joint action against European agres-
sion and 70 secure the solldiartary OF the
American continent. He SAID the pro-
no-ed league should be formed without
preiudice 20 adherents to the League OF
Nations and that should any member ot
the American league have a controversy
with the league of nations, that nation
should ask for the cooperation OF the
American league in settling the con-
trovcrsy.
After prai.ing the United States for
entering the world war in defense OF the

sessions of others. and that those who
have lost any positions will have them
rinhtly returned 10 them. IL encourages

ment Of all peoples of America.
Taking M the Monroe Doctrine he
polnted out how IL had constituted on
tho whole an efhcacious safeguard to the
territorial integrity OF many American
countries.
DIR. Br,lm asserted the entry of the
United States into the war was an an
ticipated application Of the Monroe Doc

Owing TO the state in which European
countries remain after the struggle. It
may be said that fear OF invasion by them
IN America has been removed for many

Urges Care Be Exercised
In Applying Retiring Act

Editor of Washington Herald: -
Probably few legislative measures
enacted in recent years require more
care in their administration than
the lately passed Civil Service re-
tirement law. II rot administered
in the broad, enlightened spirit in
which IL was, conceived and framed.
this law may be made not merely
a vehicle for hardship and oppres-
sion. out a means of seriously i'm
pairing the efficiency of the gov
ernment service.
Under the terms of the act (apart
from a minimum period of servlce).
two factors determine involuntary
decentralization Pge and i'm
paired efficiency. Tie canger in ad :
ministering the law IL that appoint
ing officers may overlook the fact
that both of these conditions must
be present before the involuntary
retirement OF ar empioye should be
determined upon. Not only so. but
IL should be apprehended clearly
that the age factor is the minor
one. 1t Is true the act provides age
limits for Involuntary retirements,
but during the first ten years fol-
lowing the passage of the act these
limits are merely &c afford a rough
and ready test for determining i'm
pairmert of efficiency; that is all.
Provision is made 50 that in each
and every case the presumption CT
inefIlciency arising from age shall
give way to the feet, if efficiency
Is actually established.
II 7o-year-Clc John Smith and
Mary Brown are among TIE most
efficient employees ir their respect
i've offices. and Esve no wish to re-
tire (perhaps can not afford to do
so on the maximum of $50 a month
provided) II would seem that every
corside ration If public economy,
public justice. common humanity and
the general welfare Is on the side
of their retention in the service.
Other John Smiths and Mary Browns
may have lost some of their old
time speed. but still be capable OF
rendering good service. In such
cases, let these be reduced to the
grade IN which they are able to
render full equivalent in service
for the salary incident thereto.
The retirement act must, OF
course, be hcnestly administered
and where government emf loyes are
to all intents and purposes pension
ers. they should be retired, regard
less of their wishes in the matter:
but let II be clearly apprehended
that fullness of years Is. under the
law. but one of the factors entering
into the account. not the only one.
