For some time there have been
rumors of a proposed conference
with Latin American countries in the
interests of disarmament and peace.
Such conference is now to be a real
ity, and December is set as the
date. The countries invited to par
ticipate at Washington are Nicara-
qua, Honduras, Salvador, Guatamala
and Costa Rica. The plan at present
does not include the countries of
South America. and Mexico seems
to be left out. There has always
been a good deal of quarreling
among these Central American states
as well as revolutionary movements
within. The U. S. has little to fear
from them, but anything that will
lead to peace and disarmament will
mean progress. The U. S. desires
condition of stability in the neigh
borhood of the Canal Zone.

There will be a new Parliament
elected in England as a result Of the
Cabinet changes. The ex-premier,
Lloyd George, is campaigning for the
Coalition Liberals. II is his belief
that the best good to England will
come from united party action just
now rather than from party compe-
tition. One branch of the Liberal
party stands for this, and it is to in
crease the number Of representatives
of this branch that Lloyd George is
now working. His speeches are
strong arraignments of the partisan
spirit and method which have led to
his downfall. A tour in Scotland Is
bringing out large and enthusiastic
audiences. Meanwhile the new pre-
mier, Bonar Law, is telling the peo-
pie that there is to be no essential
change in national policy, tho the
Conservative party is in control.

purchasing power of 1900, to only %

what 50 cents would buy in 1913.
This would be less than Chinese Cool
les were paid in the day when the
Pacific Railroads were permitted TO

discrepancy between the wages re-

Senator LaFollette pointed out ten

the public, that the workers were
getting an exaggerated and unwar-
ranted portion of railroad revenues

omitted. the Senator declared, reach
