The secretary of state of the Unit
ed States happens to be a former
justice of the supreme court of the
United States. His judicial mind
is being applied to the dispute
which is essentially task for the
legal mind, anyhow
Chile Doubts Altruism.
For years the Monroe Doctrine,
conceived as a means of prevent
ing European aggression in this
hemisphere, has been so variously
interpreted and developed that
Americas designs in Latin-AmeFica
have not been viewed as altruistic
despite the protestations of her
statesmen. Chile in particular has
shown through diplomatic chan
nels on more than one occasion a
fear that the United States was
adopting a big brother attitude for
selfish and not unselfish reasons.
Peru has played little more close
ly to American policy. But Chile's
doubts are the same doubts as
other South American nations have
expressed. The opportunity OF the
United States in the premises is to
show that she is interested in the
peace and welfare of countries far
distant from her own boundaries
and that she is willing to stop in
the midst of intense absorption in
other problems to lend voice Of
council and equity in the settle
ment of a perplexing dispute which
has disturbed not merely the rela-
tions of Chile and Peru, but the
| equilibrium of the South American
continent. Bolivia, for example 2,
/ wants an outlet to the sea through
the very territories of Tacna and
africa which are the basis of the
Chilean-Peruvian quarrel. Some
diplomats aver it would be Of more
use to Bolivia than either Chile and
Peru. There is some reason to be-
lieve that national pride is much
more involved in this matter thar
the intrinsic value of the provinces
National Pride Involved.
Incidentally there is a little ma
tional pride on the side of the
| Washington administration. 1t wa,
this dispute which nearly got int
the jurisdiction of the League o
Nations and there is considerable
debate still over the alleged willing
ness of the Wilson administrator
to let the league dispose of th'
matter and the unwillingness o
the Harding administration to lie
the European league intervene il
any American questions lest a pre-
cedent for the future be establish
ed Chile and Peru are both mem
bers of the league. If they settl'
their dispute here through the goot
offices of the United States, tn
Washington government will hav
established its prestige as a media
tor not only in a far eastern tangl
such as was involved in the Shan
tung province, but in the healing
of a sore in another part of tn
world where, indeed, the interest
of the United States are far neare
and of more delicate concern.

WHEAT PRICES
WEAKER;.CORN
HOLDS UP WELL
fBY consolidated Pressl

Chicago, May 20. = The wheat
market again eniivened during the
last hour and again with the broad
ening of trade prices developed
considerable weakness. May was
erratic but cash houses sold wheat
they had picked up in outside mar
kets and this started further liquid
alton by longs, There were 30o,-
600 bushels of wheat bought from
southwest and western mills to
come to this market and 100. 900
bushels of wheat were sold to go
to store. Pressure on July was
mainly from houses who were iden-
titled with the long side of May.
Some of the trade were inclined to
the belief that many longs were
hedging the cash wheat they now
own in this delivery, but others
claimed that this selling was by
winnipeg interests, Cash demand
was slow. Sea,board reported some
new red winter wheat worked for
export. Farmers were reported Of
fering new wheat freely at 81
bushel. Southwest also reported
farmers free sellers of wheat ,ipdi-
eating a better crop position. Mar
ket closed 1ac to 45sc lower, May
1.35A to 1.36, July 1.23A to 1.2SS "a,
September 1.1S7s to LISA.
Corn held we'll in face of the
weakness in wheat. The feature
was the heavy buying of July by an
export house late, while earlier this
same house bought September.
Cash houses were the principal
sellers The demand for cash corn
was slightly improved. and iudg-
ing by the buying of futures sea-
board export business must have
been large. Market closed 1sc to
sc higher, May SIS July 6414 to
643s, September 66% to 66A.
| Oats were quiet. Cash houses
bought and resting orders to buy
July at 39A steadied the market
| for a time The break in wheat
was a depressing factor. Cash de-
mand was not so good as of late.
Market closed 1se up to 1ac down,
May 373s. July 80 to SsSs, Sep
/ tember 467s.
Provisions irregular. May pork
and ribs were bid up by shorts.
Liquidation carried other products
lower. Pork closed 25c up, lard
121.c to 15c lower, and ribs soc up
to soc lower.

MEXICAN PRELATE
MAY BE APPOINTED
CARDINAL BY POPE

Mexico City.-Afairs of the Cath
olic church in Mexico are to be Civ
en- serious consideration by the
vatican within the next few
months, say observers here, many
of whom predict that the elevation
of a Mexican prelate to cardinal
will be one of the first acts of Pope
Plus XII to make for closer rela-
tions.
The archbishop of Zamora, a ven
erable church dignitary, is men
toned as the most likely candidate
for the red hat.
For some years priests and nuns
were not allowed to appear on the
Mexican streets in clerical garb
and churches with their furnish
ings were confscated by scores.
Now there is an apparent ten
dency toward leniency on the part
of President Obregon. Many
churches have been Feopened and
several previously oonfiscated have
been returned There is no re-
striction as to service and the Ro-
man collar and the nuns somber
garb are seen again in public.
The late Pope Benedict XIV sew
eral months ago dispatched to Mex
leo as the apostolic delegate Mon
signor Ernesto Fillippi, who in his
short time here has done much to
better church conditions in the re-
public. It is perhaps significant
that only a few days after the cor
| onation of Plus XI the monsigneF
was hurriedly called to Rome ito
ooufar with Tho D0ptiff raIafiVp IN
Mexico according to a statement.
| 1t has already been announced that
a few bishoprics are to be estab-
! lished in Mexico as part of the in
tensive church campaign.
The state of Yucatan, which is
admittedly radical in it's govern
| ment. is a determined foe of Cath
olieism and several laws have been
| passed or are being considered
| looking to restriction of worship.

STEEL STOCKS.

Republic Steel broke nearly four
points and Midvaie Steel two
points on the overnight announce
ment that the Youngstown Steel
and Tube had withdrawn from the
slx-company merger negotiations.
1t was assumed that this meant that
these negotiations had struck a
smash and might be abandoned al
together. The talk reverted TO two
combinations instead Of one big
one. the first be formed by Re-
public, Midvale and Inland Steel.
and second to consist of Brier Hill
and the Youngstown company. The
sharp check TO the speculation in
independent steel shares, did net
however. prevent continuation of
the campaign in u. s. Steel. The
dihiculty which the stock had had
Friday in getting through the 101
mark was surmounted Immediately
at the opening. The first sale was
made at 1015s.
NEW HAVEN.
Wall street swung around to the
theory that there was something
else behind the rise in New Haven
besides the improvement in the
company's earnings and financial
position. The rumor circulated that
control of the road was being
sought by Canadian Pacific. There
was not the slightest corFoboration
of this story in Canadian Pacific
quarters.
