SPANISH-ANERIC4N LOYALTY

Spanish writer named Miguel de Maetzu arriv-
ed in Buenos Aires recently with the announcement
that he official mission to promote league
of South and Central American nations for the pur
pose of closer relations with Spain
Today, ne said Spain is ''the spokesman of Latin
America in Europe.
There has been at least tendency in that direc-
tion lately. During the World War the Latin-Amer-
countries nearly all followed the lead of the United
States but atterly they show signs of drifting away
If they cast loose from Uncle Sam, it would be
natural for them to drift back closer understanding
with Spain, the mother-iand all Latin-Amercan
neighbors except Brazil.
This need not happen, however. The next day af-
ter the announcement of this Spanish mission
made, the Pan-American Congress at Panama adopted
resolution favoring american League of Ma
tions and agreed to hold future conference to work
constitution for it. The congress will probably
meet in this country. The Panama government will
take the initiative and the Pan-American Union will be
expected to cooperate.
This proposal should be of great interest to Amer
leans. 1t expected when the Pan-American Union
organized that it would lead ultimately to some
sort of loose federation or league, and the World War
strengthened that feeling
Under whatever name, and with whatever form of
organization, clear that there should be real
unity among the republican nations of this western
hemisphere with the United States in position to exert
a moral leadership especially if this country is to
main permanently outside OF the Geneva League.
