Denies Europe Has a Monopoly
of Interest i'm the Near East

American money, are scattered
throughout this region, we haye
loaned millions of dollars there, and
American enterprise has invested its
time. money and energy In many
other ways. In spite of all this. we
are told this is a European question,
in which we must not interfere.
Held to Be Interference.
Now let us see if we have not all
ready interfered. We, of all the ma
tions Of the earth. stand for the right
government under which it wishes to
dwell and the men by whom it de-
sires to be ruled. Yet more than a
year and a quarter ago Greece, the
one country in the near east which
has shown the greatest capacity for
est type of civilization and which has
throughout the entire period Of its
existence shown the best feeling to-
ward America, held an election. as
the result of which she brought back
to the throne the constitutional king
during the war by the armed inter-
ference of the European allies. The
result of this election was an over
" helming demand for the return of
King Constantine. and our failure to
recognize the king and present gov
serious interference in the right of a
friendly nation to decide its own in
ternal affairs.
Greece has the only army that is
able to maintain order and avert
chaos. For ten long years this army
has been in the field. wrestling foot
after foot Of the European mainland
and island after island of the Aegean
from her former conquerors. and now
in Asia Minor, where we are told the
Turks have secured Important VIC
tories," this same army Is holding
territory much greater in size than
that awarded to Greece by the treaty
Of SevreS, even though the Turks are
being backed by France, Italy and
bolsheviki Russia.
Wants Constantine Recognized.
Recognition Of the Greek govern
ment Is a duty which we owe to the
Christian peoples Of the near east, to
our own noble and self-sacrif1cing
men and women who are laboring
there, and to the commercial inter-
ests Of our country, who need to ex-
tend and develop the foreign markets
Of the world In order to bring back
real prosperity to our own people.
Above all, 1t is q duty which we owe
to our own ideals Of liberty and self
government. We have no more right
to deny to Greece the right to choose
her own rulers than Greece would
have had to deny our own right to
change our administration as result
Of our elections Of 1920. It Is too
late to repair all the Erons which

tariffs are on the sale Of agricultural
products, but that probably does not
thoroughly realize that the railroads
have troubles of their own.
Railroad Problem Serious.
The railroads, like all other
branches of business. are anxious for
a volume Of traffic that will keep
down the present undue proportion
of expense account They feel, how
ever, that such reduction in freight
rates as is called for should be ac-
companied by q corresponding reduce
tion in their expense account, and this
they are striving to bring about with
the handicap Of not having the final
say in such matters There is also
the question. which cannot be an
ewered in advance, as to whether
such reductions will bring an ade-
quate volume of business, under pres
ent depressed conditions. to compen-
safe for the reduction in rates. Like
will probably all come out in the
wash, though not 50 fast as we may
desire. For much Of it Is dependent
upon the action Of certain govern
ment agencies, and no one can recall
any government forces in time of
peace hustl1ng themselves TO get
things through in a hurry. That is
not the way Of red tape
We have yet to learn from expert
ence how far we can safely go, and
no farther, in the regulation Of pub
lie utilities; but this much is obvious
at present, that the impossibility of
the railroads dealing direct with
their employees on matters Of the ut
most mutual interest Is q serious
on bringing about that
spirit, Of loyalty without which there
can be no efficient service.

VIRTUALLY IN CONTROL
OF PERUVIAN NAVY.

TIE United States now has naval
missions in Peru and in Brazil. the
former consisting of four officers un-
der the command of Commander
Frank B. Freyer. This mission, for
the time being, is virtually in control
Of the Peruvian navy to all intents
and purposes, and all Of the expenses
of its maintenance are borne by Peru.
Brazil has invited the United States
to enlarge its present mission there.
consisting now Of an officer at the head
Of the war college and two officers on
the general staff Of the navy.
1t is strongly hoped by great
many naval officers who have studied
the situation in Brazil at first hand
that this invitation will be accepted
by the United States.
The fact the German missions. Brit
ish missions and French missions
have instructed the armies and navies
Of Latin American countries is not
alarming. There is much good ac-
complished, and the Latin American
republics seeking these missions of
instructors are to be congratulated for
a desire to model their systems on
those which have attained success.
The fact that missions from this
country were not invited is explained,
it is said. by two things: First. neither
our Army nor our Navy before the Eu-
ropean war was considered a model
establishment; second. the United
States never evinced any particular
desire to receive an invitation to send
a mission of instruction.

Canning Outlook Good.
The story of canned goods in fruits
and vegetables, illustrates the course
of what each line may expect accord

with prevailing conditions. There
were huge stocks carried over into
1921 which had to be disposed of at
reduced figures. This stimulated con-

A SOMEWHAT neglected phase Of

sentiment. now growing in
Army and Navy circles, is crystallized
into something definite in the form
of a plan of action for the future.
There Is a strong feeling in some
quarters here that an excellent medi-
um for drawing closer the bonds Of
understanding and friendship be-
tween the northern and souAbern
American continents-that of Send
ing official military and naval mis-
sions of instruction to the young re-
publics of the south-has received
far too little attention, with results
which become apparent upon only a
cursory examination.
In Argentina and Chile today are
found armies instructed by German
officers and modelled closely after the
German military system, down to the
goose-step and the uniforms. In these
same countries the navies are under
the instruction of British naval Off
GERS. and the sea forces are virtually
applications of that of Great Britain.
In Peru French officers are in charge
of the instruction of the army. A
French military mission supervises
instruction of Brazilian aviators. In
Bolivia a former German general Off
cer-a Gen. Kundt-has become a
Bolivian citizen and is chief instruc-
tor OF the army. There is now
talk of Germany military mis-
sion visiting Bolivia. A German
colonel has contracted with the gov
ernment OF Paraguay to instruct the
army. A French naval officer Is in
charge of the naval school of Vene-
zuela, a position formerly held by
an officer of the United States coast
guard. A French military mission
has recently been withdrawn from
Uruguay. And there are other cases
such as the fact that military avi-
alton in Chile is under the instruction
of former officers of the British fly
ing service, using forty-seven planes
which were presented to Chile by
the British government.
