Although the Chilean delegates would

they prefer the next step should be
something other than an exercise Of

development was received with uncon-

declared their Chilean colleagues had
agreed that each side should lay its
view of the situation before Secretary

they still stand on their proposal Of

Information is abroad that a move
ment is under way to establish COL
onies Of American negros in Mexico.
A prominent leader of the race is
negotiating for very large tract of
land along the northern border.
Mexico will grow cotton to advan.
tage and the negro surely knows how
to raise it. Mexican policy toward
slavery previous to the Civil War
was an enlightened one, and it was
Mexico's opposition to slavery that
led Texas, with other reasons, to de-
clare independence. The relation of
the negro to the native Mexican,
however, has always been a difficult
problem and would be likely to stand
in the way Of any general movement
southwark. 1t is of interest to all,
however, to know that the American
negro is looking out for his economic
advantage and in measure can take
care Of himself.
