South Americans VIII only Talk Frankly at Coming

Wv The fifth Pan-American Con-
ference opens at Santiago,
Chile, March 25.
If it passes off pleasantly 1t may
be taken for granted that little has
been accomplished. If there's some
plain, strong talk, there'H be reason
to assume good has been done.

have certain deep-seated misunder-.

Latin-American speaks plainly. To
the visiting North American his in
stinct IS to be very polite, leaving
disagTeeable subjects strictly alone
There is the danger that, deceived
by his politeness, the North Ameri-
can delegates may go home from
Santiago believing everything all
right; in which case, the South
American delegates will go home as
biased as they came.
A study of the South American
press shows these subjects, in par
ticular. that need to he discussed:
I. The dipatch by the United
States of some forty experts to help
Brazil strengthen her navy. This
pleased Brazil-but was regarded
by the other republics as assisting
the BraziGans to arm against them.
1t caused the abrupt termination
of disarmament negotiations which
were progressing between Argen-
tina. Brazil and Chile.
2. The proposed League OF Amer
