LEAGUE FOR PEACE
Christian Work Congress
Told U. S. Alone Can Pre-
! vent Future Wars.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, April 1.
DELEGATES to the Christian Work
CONGRESS- last night applauded an
exposition by DIR. Baltasar Brum,
former Uruguayan president, of his
scheme for Pan-American League
of Nations. which Uruguay suggested
to sthe Pan American conference at
Santiago, Chile. in 1928, and which
was not acted upon.
The United States alone can keep
the world at peace" he said.
He contended that a Pan American
League of Nations would not conflict
with the Monroe doctrine and that
tho United States would not assume
any additional obligations other than
those she had already assumed volun-
tarily by maintaining the doctrine.
ErasmO Braga, president of the
congress, assured DIR. Brum that the
idea had the warm Endorsement of
all sthe delegates.
DR. Brum announced that the
women of Uruguay would have the
right to vote within one year. The
woman suffrage bill was certain to
pass, he said.
Charge Yankee Trade Plot.
DIR. Alfred Palacios, dean of Ar
gentine University, at La Plata, has
refused to attend the congress on
the ground that he considers it an
other instrument for Yankee domi-
nation"
Senorita Gabriela Mistral, Chilean
poeteSs, in an address. agreed with
DR.. Palacios that the United States
"aspires to dominate our continent
She declared, however, that the dele
gates to the congress were not the
sort of Americans who came to South
America with such a purpose.
Writers who sell themselves are
the.most dangerous helpers of Yankee
capitalism" she said.

Peculiar Qualities
of Spanish Riuer

Count Pedro Maura y Sereda said
at n dinner at the Spanish embassy:
Madrid Is on the Manzanares river.
The Manzanares probably contains
less water than any river in the world,
yet no stream has v been SO joked
about.
"A German said 1t was the best
river he had ever seen. as 1t was nav.
igable either by automobile Or on foot.
Ferdinand III used to declare that
once. when a visiting prince desired to
take a walk along the river bed. it had
to be watered first to lay the dust.
"Count Romananes said the Manza-
mares was the best river in the world
to dry washing in.
"Once a young woman from Seville
grew faint at a bullfight. and they
brought her a glass of water, but she
waved 1t aside and murmured:
"'Give 1t to the Manzanares: II
needs 1t more than I.'"-Buffalo
