Monitor Nation Plan.

Washington is curious to know if
Mr.. Hughes intends to revive the old
monitor nation plan, put life and press
ure into it, pressure on the greater
Latin-Amerlcan republics which will
move them to stop minor rows on their
own behalf, and thus relieve the United
States of duties which it does not care
to exercise because Of the ill-feeling
which our interference always gener-
ates.
Some men seem TO have forgotten it,
but Elihu Root as secretary of state
went to Central and South America
and pleaded for peace and good will,
and seemingly succeeded in laying the
foundation thereof.
Mr.. Colby as secretary Of state,
went to South America. The salt
tang of the sea voyage is not yet out
Of his nostrils. Peace, good will, and
commerce were the motives of his mis-
sion, and yet here Panama and Costa
Rica are at each others throats.
In this day of the attempt to get
the world to settle down after the
biggest war it ever witnessed, It is
known to be rather disturbing to the
equanmity of the incoming admins
tration to have two republics, for
whose good conduct this republic has
assumed responsibility in the eyes Of
the world, tackling each other in a
linger-nall match. 1t is nothing more
than a scratching match, but it has in
it the possibilities of a real fight.
