 :. "Confrontsd with the dilemma of aban 5doning either the League of Nations or .the Monroe Doctrine, the Latin-Ameri- can countries probably would choose to abandon the latter. Many people in the United States have believed that the Va rious South American countries, mem Abers of the league, would withdraw in .order to follow the policy inspired by the Limited States and contrary, naturally, to the league.
 ;. The declaration on the Monroe Doc strine Senator Harding made to the cor .respondent of La Nacion hardly seems an saGequate cause for the South American membefs Of the league to abandon it. In -effect, Senator Harding told our corre- spondent that the Monroe Doctrine was not an international pact or agreement. but q declaration of policy by the United States which promised protection against abuses or aggressons by European na tions precisely an Interpretation which causes the grea test resistance from most, ii not all. of these countries. and which lis contrary to the interpretation Presl- dent Wilson has given. according to which the doctrine establishes among the American nations most perfecs equality, an equality that cannot exist 1T the question of protection is not asked the product entirely of the one-siced resolution of power declaring itsell the protector against dangers in whlen no one believes"

 For many years it has been the dream of scientists to devise a machine for generating energy by abstracting 1t from the air and turning it to useful purposes.

TO ASK CONTINUANCE
Investigation of Palmer's Activities
 Expected to Take Precedence
By Associated Press

Indianapolis, Ind, November 7.S4nvesti- gation of Attorney General Palmer's con rection with the soft coal conspiracy case is expected to take precedence over the case itself tomorrow when it is called for trial in federal court before Judge Anderson. A continuance will be asked by the government, it is expected, due to the resignation of Dan w. Sims of La Fayette. assistant district attor- ney, and the inability oI Mr. Sims and L. Ert Slack, special assistant district attorney. to bring about the removal to the Jurisdiction of the Indiana court a member of the defendants residing in Illinois and Ohio.
 Judge Anderson recently notified the attorney general that an investigation would be held in open court regarding his connection with the case MT. Sims resigned early in october, giving as his reason that he had received instructions from the attorney general regarding elimination of certain evidence. These in- structions, Mir. Sims said, literally cut the heart out of the case.
 Arguments regarding a continuance are expected to precipitate the investiga- tion of the attorney generals instruc- tions, inasmuch as these precipitated MT Sims resignation.
 The case, which is against 125 miners and operators, charging them with con. spiracy to limit production and trans portation of coal in violation of the Lever act, is an outgrowth of the soft coal strike last November

 We can make our nation first by making her intelligent. Intelligence is a real basis of democracy. If the American people are to vote right they
 must know how to vote; they must be educated. Without self-control, there can be no democracy, and self-control comes through religion and intelli- gence.
