Beer Allowed AZ Medicine.

Washington.-As unexpected as a
rain storm in a desert. regulations per-
mitting manufacture and use of beer
for medical purposes were issued by
the Treasury Department. Withheld
since March 3, when former Attorney

prohibition laws, issuance of the beer
regulations came as surprise to lead
ers of the dry forces, who declared
there had been an understanding with
the treasury that the new rules should
not be promulgated until the Senate
had acted on the anti.beer bill.

New York.-Thfee armed bandits
In an automobile forced the driver of
mail truck to stop on lower Broad
way while they rifled the truck Of four
pouches of registered mail, valued at
100000 by postal authorities.
The truck was on its. way from
the city hall station to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad terminal with seven
teen pouches of mail. eleven of them
containing registered matter. The
driver had gone only a few blocks
when green automobile containing
three men drew alongside. They con-
frOnted him with drawn revolvers and
ordered him to slow down.
AT Leonard street two men jumped
from the automobile onto the truck
and ordered the driver to get down
from his seat. One held a revolver to
the drivers head, he said, while the
other pointed his weapon at his stOW-
ach.
4 Forcing the driver to turn over the
key, one bandit unlocked the cage and
paved over the pouches inside. Sc
lecting four, he transferred them to
the automobile which stood at the
curb with its motor running. After
threatening to ''blow his brains out''
IL he moved, the driver said, the trio
moved off Broadway west through
Leonard street and disappeared.
! The driver, Frank Hayranick, 35,
said that after satisfying himself his
life was no longer in danger, he got
back on the truck and drove to the
Beach street police station. A general
alarm for the green automobile was
sent out at once and postal inspectors
summoned.
The driver, when questioned by
postal inspectors, said that he had
looked in vain for policeman The
wholesale dry goods district around
Broadway and Worth street is gener-
ally deserted at night and there is lit
tie street traffic after business hours.
Hayranick was able to furnish the
postal inspectors with part Of the IL

Any one who has followed the expressions Of Amer

America views the Anglo japanese alliance with deep

that will merely be because of good manners our
part.
When Great Britain first made this alliance with
Japan, twenty years ago. there was reason for
il in the fact that Russia and Germany were then
aggressive in the Far East But Russia and Germany
are now impotent. and these two reasons for the
Anglo japanese alliance no longer exist The only
great power that is adversely affected by the alliance
is the United States In expressing distaste for the
alliance the United States speaks not merely for it.
self but for the world. The United States believes
that there should be in the Far East complete equal
iy of opportunity among nations of sort that is in
consistent with the existence of any such agreement
as this Anglo Japanese t..
Undoubtedly there is a large section OF public
opinion in Great Britain which,. under ordinary cir
cumstances would support the American principle OF
the open door in the Far East II the British gov
ernnent were not tied mp by its alliance with Japan,
we might normally expect British support for the
liberal American policy IN the, Far East. So long
as the AngloJ alliance continues it deprives
America of the support of Great Britain for more
enlightened and liberal policy in China. The alliance
does bind Great Britain to indorse all that japan
does but the implications of the alliance prevent
Great Britain from making any protest on her own
behalf or from joining the United States In any pro-
test

Great Britain, which holds the mandate for Palestine
is finding it very difficult aud delicate matter to fulfill
the promises to the Jews contained in the Balfour declara
tion without arousng the enmy of the Arabs of Palestine
and through them the millions of Mohammedans under
British rule In accordance with the decisions of the peace
conference that Palestine should become the national home
of the Jews thousands Of coonsts have gone there and
have made considerable progress in the development of
the country The magnitude of this has aroused
the hostility of the Arabs and has caused them to develop
nationalist spirit and to demand that they be given the
right of selfdeterminaton Sefdeermnation apparently
means that the mandatory power should repudate its
promises to the Zionis that Palestine may not be over
run by the Jews few days ago the Palcsnian Arab
delegation asked President Harding his influence
with the league of nations to grant parliamentary gov
ernmen to the Arabs of this territory This same Arab
party has laid its before the Pope the league OF

meantime there sconsiderabie agitation create racial
antagonism and religious feeling Great Britain
has the very difficult task Of maintaining peace of keen
ing her promises to the Zoists and Of preventing the
Arabs from stirring up opposto,to British rule through

u. S.-Latin American Relations.

rr-HE relations between the United States and
. i Latin America offer many problems-d diplomatic
economic and financial in characterize which officials
of this government are giving careful! study.
While is recognized that the restoration of normal
conditions in Europe is important than affairs
in Latin America to the worlds welfare it is also
realized that the stability of governments and favor
able balances of trade on the part Of all the Latin
American countries is highly desirable
The chief diplomatic problem is with Mexico; and
although this seems to have been for several months
past in state of status quo with further definite
move on either side to bring about resumption of
the two long-broken diplomatic relations there is
firm belief in welnformed quarters that the problem
working itself out, but the political quiet which now
seems reign throughout Mexico, the comparatively
large and increasing trade relations between the two
countries and the apparently satisfactory agreement
(the details of which have not been announced) be-
the Mexican government and the principal oil
companies engaged in business there, signs that
final solution of the differences between the United
States and Mexico is in sight
Boivia's maintenance before the league of nations
of her demand for outlet to the sea- through
vision Of her treaty Of 1904, with Chile. is question
in which this country is deeply interested and it is
felt that the peace of all South America is involved
in the settlement of this long-pendng triangular dis
pute, in which Chile, Peru and Bolivia involved,
over the possession of the northern provinces which
Chile now holds result of her war with Peru and
Bolivia thirty years ago. The Bolivian Minister
here, when he presented his credentials recently
President Harding, made guarded reference to his
'countrys desire for the good offices Of the United
States in this connection. It feared that il this
dispute should lead to open conflict number in
fact nearly all of the other South American countries
would become involved While the United States

CHINA. ENGROSSING TO CONFERENCE
Questions Internal and External Concern Slated for
Anglo japanese Pact Probably WI Not Be Discussed

Crowder is advising with the Cuban government in
regard to the plans which they working for the
reduction Of the Cuban budget and for the strengthen
ing of the fiscal system and collection of revenues. As
a result Of this reorganization going on, Cuba
hopes to float loan in this country of $sooooooo
with which to help her business and industries in
re-establshng themselves. In addition, Cuba is ask
ing that the duty on sugar Of 2 cents pound which
into effect months ago with the emergency
tariff act and which is proposed to continue in the
Fordney tariff bill, be reduced; alternative
that the preferential rate Of per which she is
allowed under her reciprocity treaty sugar and
other products imported into this country be increased
50 per cent She recently sent special commercial
mission, headed by her secretary of the treasury to
Washington to take this matter up with the State De-
partment officials here; and lengthy memorandum
the subject presented and forwarded by the State
Department to the Senate Finance Committee. which
in charge of the tariff bill No official indication
has yet been given. however, as to how Cubas desires
in this matter will be met.
One of the diplomatic problems with which this
government is now wrestling is that of the Dominican
Republic. Several months ago this government an
nounced its intention of withdrawing the American
military government and the United States Marines
who have been in Santo Domingo for six years past
as soon as responsible government could be estab-
ished there through orderly constitutional processes
The opposition party in Santo Domingo however,
WHICH IS favor OIL the immediate withdrawal OF
American control permitting the Domnicans them
selves to make all arrangements for calling and hold
ing the elections and setting up the government
have refused to come to any agreement to the
question. Under the proclamation issued some time
ago by the American military governor, elections
to have been held in August but no arrangements
have yet been made for them, and the withdrawal
of the American occupation has been postponed in
definitely. 1t had been hoped this would be accom-
plished by the end of this year.
The greater part of the troubles throughout Latin
America, however, are economic in character Busi-
ness in most instances is poor and exchanges most
OF the countries has been fuctuang badly With the
purpose of trying to find sonic means of improving
the exchange situation, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, who is also head Of the Inter American High
Commission, organization whose object d to better
financial and commercial relations between the Ameri-
can republics, called the ministers of finance of all
the American republics to hold meetings on December
II next Of their national sections of the Ameri-
can High Commission to discuss the exchange situa-
ton and try to find some way of improving it.

The French press is finding it difficult to under
stand the for the uufriendly demonstrations
which have been made by the Italians against the
French mission headed by Marshal Fayolle. The ex-
panaton which is usually advanced is that Italy has
not forgotten the manifesto issued by President Will
in 1919 during the peace conference and regards
France having been involved in this action against
Italy The Paris papers take pains to point out the
numerous occasions since that time In which France
has demonstrated her hiendsiiip for Italy. 2i''h
