HASTE IS WASTE IN TROPICS
Northerners There on Business Must
Leave All Preconceived Stand
ards at Home.

Who enters the tropics should leave
all haste behind. We have superior
way Of talking Of the land Of man
ana, quite overlooking the fact that
the physiological law Of the land is
expressed, In the "manana" attitude.
With the cumulative energy of gener-
atlons of temperate-zone-born ances-
tors In our veins, we may maintain
our standards Of push and speed in
the tropics for d time, but that is no
reason why We should expect people
who have been reared under less favor
able climatic conditions to live up to
them.
Indeed, 1t is highly advisable to
leave all OF our preconceived stand
ards at home. Latin Americans have
been long subjected to climatic and
other influences which have of neces-
sity profoundly affected them both
bodily and mentally. We must re-
member also that, racially, we are as
far apart as were the Conquistadores
from the Pilgrim fathers.
Let us therefore accept as q fact
that our habits Of thought are funda-
mentally different and give to history,
tradition. environment, and heredity
their share Of praise and of blame for
existing conditions.-National Geo.

W0RLDP0WERS MEET TO \
TALK LIMITING ARMS
CONTINUED From Page ~

1t is pointed out by some who are
not in favor Of suspension Of naval
construction during the conference
that. this would be the most Statutory
sort of notice to the world that the
conference was declared: to limit arms.
Huge sums of money also prob
ably would be saved by the principal
naval powers, under such plan, for
instance in the case of the United
States, the current naval appropria-
ton bill authorized about one hundred
million dollars to continue the 1916
naval program. Great Britain, the
United States and Japan would be
the principal powers affected by the
suspension agreement. The first pow
err has just authorized the construc-
ton of four great battle cruisers, the
United States is building nine battle
ships and six battle cruisers, and
Japan seven battleships and eight bat
tie cruisers. Some of the American
and Japanese ships are ready for
launching. - ?. II
While the American government
has some definite ideas about the de-
tails about how the navies should be
limited, such as the number Of ships
Of one power, much of this work is
expected to be drawn into the con-
ference to be threshed out by ex-
perts.
