London, March 28.-The definite
fears of the possibility of an aerial
attack upon Great Britain by
France expressed in recent debates
in the House of Commons have
aroused interest in defensive meas
ures.
Experts admit that Great Britain
is completely at the mercy of superior
air forces operating from the continent
but they hope that the government
next year will provide sufficient
funds to create a vast defensive work
and enable research work along aero
nautic lines TO proceed more rapidly.
Naturally England's principal de-
lenses would center upon the south
ern and eastern coasts where, should
war actually occur, there would be
placed an intricate system of telephone
detectors even now so sensitized that
they pick up the hum of enemy
motors many miles distant. Every

FRANCE SUSPICIOUS
ABOUTPAN-A
CONFERENCE IN CHILE
Newspapers Comment on
American Attitude To-

BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.
Special Gable to the San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Cartwright 1921

Paris, March 26.-Suspicion and
hostility regarding the supposed aim'
OF the United States in Latin America
mark the comment of the French
newspapers on the opening OF the
Pan-American conference in Santiago
Chile. 1t must be remembered that
France herself aspires to leadership in
the Latin world and was instrumental
in calling the recent great Latin press
conference here.
French observers seem TO consider
the Monroe doctrine as now inter
preted by the United States a mere
device to insure the hegemony Of the
United StatI over the divided Latin
American countries. The two main
points of the Santiago program are
conceived to be the limitation of ar
maments and the proposal TO form a
league of American nations. II such u
league marked the isolation of the
American continents from Europe, il
would be viewed here with profound
hostility. If. on the other hand. Il
marked the beginning Of cooperation
between the United States and the
existing League of Nations through
the good offices of the Latin-Ameri-
cans it would be doubtless heartily
acclaimed by Europe. All the newspa-
pers emphasize the fact that in any
case the Santiago conference is Of
deem interest TO Europe.
French newspapers all resent the
refusal Of the United States to allow
the league organization to cooperate
at Santiago as Brazil proposed. The
organ of the Franco-American Society
frankly expresses the cope and belief
that the Santiago conference will fail.
but the best analysis from the French
viewpoint appears in Andre Tar
