PERU AND CHILE

The controversy between Peru and Chile is a dis
turbing note in PanAmercan relations and may have
wider complications. Public opinion in this country
cannot disregard it.
The old quarrel, of DO years standing, over the
possession of the provinces of Tecna and AREA Is not
settled as North Americans hoped 1t would be by the
decision of President Coolidge arbIter In decld-
ING for plebiscte" referendum in those provinces,
to determine their allegiance, he merely gave the
Peruvians what they were promised originally by
Chile and what they always demanded But now the
Peruvians insist that, after long an occupation no
referendum there could be fair with Chile in control
So they insist that if the referendum held the Unit
ed States must take charge of it to insure fair play
There is no in abusing the Peruvlans as poor
sports" Their fear of an unfair deal may be well
founded 1t looks as some outside authority ought
to preside that plebiscite.
The United States government does not want to 40
it. So there is some talk among South Americans OF
asking the League of Nations to superntend the job
as it has done in similar in Europe. But this
country would object to that infringing on the Mon
roe Doctrine which recognized in the covenant OF
the League of Nations itself legitimate regional
understanding"
Perhaps the best way to handle the matter would
be through a Pan-American commission. If the re-
pubcs of North and South America not yet
closely enough associated to provide such machinery
they ought to be without much more delay How can
we ertcise Europe for not solving its own lnerna-
tonal problems and avoiding war; if we cannot do SO
with our much simpler New World problems?

EFFICIENCY IN CONGRESS

Robert Luce representative from Massachusetts,
wants congress time by reforming its "archalc
habits He enumerates five such habits, as follows
The oral reading of bills in full, which originated
in the English parliament at time when many men,
bers could not read the bills themselves quorum calls
of which there arc 800 to 400 session; reading the
journal, to which nobody listens toeratng irreveant
debate and protracted discussion of points of order
"These and other habits" he says, (which are no
longer endured in the best regulated legislative
blies in the world sacrifice needlessly at least quart
er of the time in every session."
Some of the abuses complained of have been abol-
shed in our best state legislatures All could be either
abandoned or made less Objectionable by congress
