upon the Sioux City Journal. which
believes he is antagonistic to both pan
Americanism and the Monroe doctrine.
THE South Americans who agree with

certainly do not know the American

that the United States wants South

as mutually beneficial to it's two nee

A resemblance between the pro-
posals and the League of Nations is
seen by the Portland Oregon Journal.
THE principles upon which the
league is based are the principles on
which the American league would be
based" explains the oregon paper.
THE purpose of each is TO outlaw
war. The purpose of each is to pro-
vide for a concert of action to prevent
conflict. The purpose of each is to
provide for peaceful settlement Of dis
putes through arbitration. The pur-
pose of each is to protect the terri
torial integrity of each signatory
power"
The Wichita Beacon sees in regional
agreements possible preliminaries to
an ultimate world organization. Re
ferring TO sighting remarks about the
Monroe doctrine from some south
American countries when the League
of Nations was formed, the Beacon
adds: They betrayed some irritation
at the idea of the United States exer-
eising q paternalistic protectorate over
South American nations. However. 1t
seems now that they realize more
keenly the advantage of a regional
understanding which shall be solely
under the control of the region af
fected. The world probably viii not
be ready for a single governing unit
for many centuries. but If il ever does
arrive at that stage the preliminary
probably will be separate units iP che

Codificatio of American interna-
tional law, as proposed by the Pan
American Union, is viewed with favor
by many newspapers of the United
States, although there are some mis-
givings over the possibilities involved,
and several editors are doubtful about
the attitude of the Latin American
nations. The union offers for submits
sion to the American nations 80 con-
ventions drafted by a committee rep
resenting the American Institute of
International Law. to be debated this
year at the meeting of international
jurists at Rio de Janeiro.
The comprehensive character Of the
proposed covenants impresses the
Kansas City Journal. which believes
they meet every conceivable situa-
ton, If such an effort Is made in the
spirit Of sincere desire for peace
In the same view the Los Angeles Ex-
press declares: III acceptable they will
create an entirely new mutual re-
sponsibility between the nations of the
Americas. The new idea Of American
union travels the same road. but goes
much farther than w. J.. Bryan, as
Secretary Of State, ventured with his
proposal Of treaties of peace and arbi-
tration."

sentiment the Kalamazoo paper adds.
certain hints dropped from time to

shepherd. The New Haven Register
comedies that it may take several
years to iron out the covenants and
then secure their adoption by the
Senates of the several countries.

SHOOTING STARS.

Safety.
Men used to rave when girls would
wait
Their turn at BARRIERS chairs
To get a haircut; but of late
Nobody cares.
Men used to blink should she disclose
A stocking, unawares;
But now when che rolls down her hose.
Nobody cares.
The chorus girl who showed her knee
Would thrill the front-row chairs.
Since there is nothing left to see,
Nobody cares.
Profanity would make US quail
When showmen brought their wares.
They've put so much of it on sale,
Nobody cares.
When into an excess we fall
In life's affairs,
This is the answer, after all:
Nobody Cares,

Many Countries Supply
 England With Oranges

We seldom stop to think in England what wonderful and delicious fruit the orange is. Its family tree" in cludes the lemon, the citrus and the lime, and the first oranges seem to have come from India.
 They came to this cold country by way of south Italy, Spain and Portu- gal, and until recent times, when mill lions of boxes reach us from Call fornia and Queensland, our main sup ply came from the south of Europe.
 The sight of a Queensland or Cali fornia orange ranch is one to remem- Der. for the orange tree bears blossom and fruit simultaneously. h Europe. where orange growing is an ancient industry, trees are to be seen whose age is reckoned by centuries. The up-to-date colonial orange grower clears his old trees out as soon as they begin to fail and puts young trees in their place.
 Many thousands of boxes of oranges arrive at the London docks, not only from the countries already mentioned, but from the Azores, the West Indies, Tangier, Malta, Brazil and many other tropical and subtropical lands, says London Tit-Bits. There are nearly a hundred different varieties of orange, of which the navel orange is the pick. It Is one of the triumphs of orange growers that they have evolved . fruit which is seedless.
