DOES AMERICA EVADE
DOCTRINE OF MONROE ?

SANTIAGO, Chile, May 4.-The
unwillingness of the United States
to have the Monroe doctrine incor-
porated in Pan-Ameriean treaty
because the North American Re-
public has maintained and will con-
tinue to maintain the doctrine as
its own policy, has been made clear
by Henry P. Fletcher, head OF the
United States delegation to the
an-American conference.
The question arose in the political
committee of the conference, prior
to the committees approval OF
resolution to reefr to the governing
board of the Pan-American Union
topics 9 and 16 of the agend7. These
paragraphs contain Uruguay'5 pro-
posal for an American League OF
Nations, and for the adoption OF the
basis of the Monroe doctrine by all
American states.
Before the vote was reached
Senior Alvarez of Chile vigorously
supported the Uruguayan League
proposal, and Senior EtcheYerrl OF
Colombia severely criticized the et-
ficacv of the Monroe doctrine.

Not since the formal opening of

present.
we got off with flying colors
and drums beating," said J. Ralston
Cargdl, president of the Playground
association, today in speaking of
the successful opening yesterday.
During the afternoon about $50
young people and children went in
to the pool, and although the tenn
perature of the atmosphere was q
bit cool, the waer was ''just right"
for comfort and pleasure.
"AIl four Of the beaches were
filled the entire afternoon with hap
py little kiddies, making frog hous-
es in the clean new sand and play
ing around the pool watching the
older children swim.
"The children were not permit
ted to remain in the water too long,
either," said Mr.. Cargill, "and when
the management saw that swimmers
had been in a sufficient length of
time for health, they were advised
to come out, which they did.
"a feature which his been added
this season." said Cargill, Ills the
shower bath arrangement, which is
made possible by perforated pipe
extending over the pool, the fresh
clean water pouring in on the swim
mers as they play about in the wa
ter. This innovation was enthusl-
astically received Thursday, and
promises to be a pleasing addition
to the other features already there.
The arrangement IS not only pretty,
forming, as it were, a waterfall over
the pool, but the pleasure from the
refreshing water spraying constantly
about is enjoyable.
when the getaway signal was
given Thursday afternoon, contin-
ued Mr. Cargill, about so or 60 of
the happiest kids hoped off into the
water and had the time of their
lives. High diving was indulged in,
and altogether the afternoon was
one of happiness to all. A num-
Der of grown spectators enjoyed the
acQuatic feats of the swimmers, and
everybody had a good time.
''1'he sale Of swimming bonds was
entirely satisfactory" said Mn.
Cargill, ''and a number of season
tickets were disposed of also. The

to a bright summer for the play

will be his duty and pleasure to see
that everything is kept in perfect

Young children. He will see that
the swimmers do not remain in the
water longer than health requires,
and will assist in other ways.
"The pool will be open three days
each week, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, until warmer weather,
and everybody is invited to come
and assist in the success of the play
ground" said Mr.. Cargil.
