SOUTH AMERICA NOW LOOKS ID J. 5. AS
 LEADER IF NATIONS
Expert of Interchurch World Movement Says Old Preju-
 dice Is Vanishing.
By SAMUEL GUY LYMAN,
Of the Interchurch World Movemen

Of the Interchurch World Movement.
 We must give to Latin America some of the finest of our civilization. Once there was prejudice against the United States in South America Now South Americans are looking to America united to save the world
 The program of the Interchurch World Movement is to strengthen the schools and churches and to estab- fish hospitals and social centers This program meets with the approval of Latin American leaders. It is based on friendly relations between equals. There Is no condescension on our part, for Latin Americans have an older civilization than ours and an intelli- gence equal to any in the world. They simply have been away from modern thought Latin America is a forward looking land The most remarkable development of the twentieth century undoubtedly will take place there.
 The war has made remarkable changes in our relation to South America. Before we had not single bank in South America. Now we have twenty. One-third of our ship ping acquired during the war goes to South America And our other rela- tions have changed equally.

u. s. MAY HAVE
 TO DROP TREATY
Wilson Says Adriatic Surrender Might Force United States to Drop Versailles Peace Treaty. Plan Violates Covenant.

London, Feb. 17.-The allied sup reme council tonight handed Ambas- sador Davis it's answer to President Wilson's communication on the Adria- tic question. The note was modifi- cation, it was said, of the one prepar- ed on Saturday last. The council de- clines to make either note public.
 The decision to modify the note, it was declared, was the result of sug- gestions from members of the council themselves, and not from Viscount, Grey, Lord Robert Cecil or Austen Chamberlain, as reports prominently circulated in France and England had stated.
The Prescott daily news., 1920-02-18

Washington, Feb. 17.-President Wilson, in his memorandum" to the allies concerning their proposed Adri- atic settlement, informed them that the United States might have to con- sider withdrawing the treaty of Yer sailles from the Senate if the allies went ahead with their plans without the consent of the United States.
 This statement was made officially here today with the further statement that the American position wos out lined not in the nature of a threat, but as a statement of situation cre- ated mot by an act of the American government, but by an act of the British, French and Italian premiers," which would place the United States in the position, if it were a party to the treaty of Versailles, of subscrib- ing through the pact to right of sov- ereignty and other agreements to which it was opposed.
