Our Embassy in Chile

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Just word in justice to an
abused Congress as regards the pur-
chase Of the American Embassy in
Santiago, Chile.
Two years ago, on the recommenda
ton of the State Department. Congress
appropriated s130,O0O for this purchase.
This was The amount recommended by
the then American Ambassador at
Santiago. 1t was thought to be enough
to secure one of several suitable resi-
dences. Various circumstances pre-
vente# purchase
hen Ambassador Collier arrived in
Chile in October last he found thai
the financial and industrial depression
grounds to be placed on the market at
much less than its real value The
price asked was, however, still con-
siderably beyond the limit of Sl5O,0Oo,
which by law is placed on the pur-
chases of American embassies in for
eign countries. Through his negotia-
tons the price was gradually reduced
till it came within the limit of the law.
The State Department thereupon
recommended an additional appropria-
ton of 100000, to be included in the
pending deficiency bill.
The Appropriation Committee of the
Senate inserted this item. on the as

We Beg to Differ !!

House Appropriation Committee hat
ITS action would be approved. The
plans of the embassy had not been re-
ceived by the House committee in time
to pass on them, but when received
they proved satisfactory. The confer
ence committee agreed to the item, and
the deficiency bill became law
through the Signature of the President
on March 20. There was no means by
which the appropriation could be made
earlier.
In the interim between the agree
ment Of the owner to sell the build
ing and grounds and the actual appro-
priatlon for the purchase the Am
oassador through his own and other
guarantees, clinched the bargain.
The United States will now have q
very ine embassy at Santiago. suitable
Tor housing all it's attaches and for the
official functions in keeping with the
dignity Of the country. 1t is the first
one to be owned by the United States
IN any South American country. The
fact that so desirable an embassy has
been secured is due. in the first place,
to the initiative and energy of Ambas-
sador Collier and in the next place. to
the readiness of Congress to make the
necessary appropriation. At all stages
OF this matter Congress, has shown it
self both receptive and liberal.

Parents of city-bred children will
do well to recognize the handicap
created by choreless adolescence
and provide some sort of synthetic

might decree that her son shall make
the daily complaint to the Board of
Health about The cold radiators. or,
if he is a husky youth, she might
even delegate to him the task Of
browbeating the landlord until he

REPENTANCE


AH, ! have known the raptures Of

And tired my lips with kisses and
with song
Have earlanded my brow with
wreaths Of vine
"Flung roses, roses riotously with
the throng.'
The wastrel's cup of life was brm-
ming high
When first felt the surging of
Within me, Swift as passage of
sigh
| scared abote the years on wings
Of fire
The gusts Of passion caught me in
their blast
And swung me toward an empty
Paradise;
| laughed to scorn the phantoms of
the past
And slowly grew ridiculously wise.
The primrose path was strewn with
leaves Of SORROW
And yet, ! think I'll start again
