take place either at the outset
or at the end of his tour; it
has not yet been decided
which.

cuss with the president-e plans
for the overland journey to Buenos
Ayres. There the battleship Utah

Latin American Comment.
Comment in the Latin American
press on Hoover's projected trip
continues to be suspicious in spite of
the almost complete domination of
the newspapers by commercial and
industrial interests friendly to
American investors.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 14.-The
daily newspaper Excelsior" in an
editorial yesterday, said that neith-
er the Is letters which make up the
name of Herbert Hoover when it is
spelled in Spanish, nor all the words
of the Spanish dictionary will be
able to blot out the suspicion of
Latin America towards the United
States, unless the coming voyage of
Hoover has, as a result, genuine
acts of friendship.
The editorial points out that the
handshakes and smiles would be a
good job for statesman, but the
sincerity of these manifestations of
friendship must be proven in more
substantial manner. The editorial
ends as follows:
"The Latin American republics
ask only one thing: that they be left
alone to live their own lives in their
own house."
Against Monroe Doctrine.
HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 14.-The
daily journal "The World" (El
Mundo), commenting upon Hoover,
the Southern Nations and the Mon
roe Doctrine" under an editorial so
entitled, says in part:
ALREADY a rumor is circulated
respecting the Monroe Doctrine. Ar
gentina has made a negative in
depreciation of this doctrine. In the
last council of the League of Ma
tions the Argentine minister to
Switzerland flatly declared that the
Monroe Doctrine was, at the most,
a unilateral principle because it
originated without any intervention
whatsoever of the other 20 Amer
ican nations"
The paper cites that Costa Rica
made similar declaration, and con-
jecturing that these matters excite
the interest of Hoover and lead to
his voyage, it says concerning the
trip:
Although the intention is laud-
able, the results so far as getting
Information is concerned are not
worth the trouble, because to find
out the true state of affairs, an Of
ficial trip with an escort of cruis-
ers and a program of banquets is
not the most efficient method"
Doubts Republicans.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 14.-In
the chamber of deputies of Chile,
Deputy Alvaraz made an extensive
speech upon the international policy
of the United States, ending with
the expressed hope that the voyage
of Hoover will overcome the doubts
sown by the policy followed by the
republican party toward Latin
america.

PALO ALTO, Calf, Nov. Ia W.n).

ments, and does not intend to con-
slider the makeup of his cabinet un-
