 RODNEY BUTCHER
DAILY WASHINGTON LETT

Spain incarnate in 20 American
 countries. There is no possibility
 or equality between the lion and the
 lamb, whose only defense is to bleat
 when attacked. We ask pr Rowe | minister of the colonies (his title
 is director of the Pan- American Un1on), how many soldiers there are
 in the United States and, Nicaragua how many have invaded Latin American countries. We remember Vera Cruz! The United States should revolve around Latin Amer
 ica because Latin America has a soul"
 Unity of the American conti-
 nents is essential" argued Captain
 Antonio Colorado and Victor Gu tierez of the Porto Rican team l"The United States supplies tre- mendous material resources and technical skill while. Latin America contributes spiritual profundity ot l thought and afdeeper sense of inter- national justice. We are not here to ldefend Pan-Americanism but, al-
 though economic and geographic
 equality are impossible, there can and must be juridical equality be- tween the American nations"
 Cited RubiO's Address
 Then Gutierrez read from a Pan- American Day address by President
 Ortiz Rubio of Mexico, wherein Rubio said so many nice things about Pan-Americanism that it was tough on Iduarte and Carillo. The MeXicans were on their feet, trying to make unscheduled rebuttals,

The King Marks Time

Alfonso is eanny. He did not abdieate when he left Spain, He did not even resign. as prime minister would. He did not re- nounee the throne except temporarily. All he did officially was to declare sort of royal moratorium. He recognized the right of the men now in charge of the Spanish govern ment to carry it on in the form of a republic until national election is held. two months hence and the nation declares itself definitely on this issue.
 If the popular verdict is explicitly against the kingdom, Alfonso may hensabdicate offi- cially, giving the new republic a clear legal status. If the verdict is against the republic. or if the republic fails later. the king is in po sition to return and resume his royal preroga- tive. Meanwhile, as Alfonso seems to see it. Incidentally his own legal status is simplified. the republic exists merely by his consent. Incidentally his own legal status is simplified.
 That is probably good law as well as good diplomacy and good politics. It is to be re- membered that all property titles in a king dom depend on the king. just as in republic or democracy they depend on the state or the collective people. A lot of Spaniards will be thinking seriously about their titles, deeds and patents. As matters stand it would be very easy for Alfonso to return and re- sume his position as head of the state if public opinion consented or the nation was hope lessly divided. And may yet do this very thing.

London is quite disturbed over the statue of Field Marshal Lord Haig that has just been completed. The statue represents Earl Haig astride noble Arab steed in full ae- eoutrement. but minus his cap. For this omission the sculptor and the Board of Works, which approved the memorial are coming in for harsh criticism. An amusing rebuke was recently presented by Brgadier- General H. R. Headlam. He proposes that a second statue be built near the first the ad- ditional one representing Haig's orderly riding up behind his chief with the latter's hat in his hand The orderly is mounted on a chunky steed, resembling draught horse more than anything else. The Brigadier- General reminds the public that Lord Haig always had an orderly in close attendance. It does seem odd to place soldier astride noble animal and then leave his cap of. b

Back To Monroe Doctrine

It was inevitable that criticism should be directed against the decision of the United States government to stop invading foreign countries. So long has Uncle Sam been ac- customed to send marines and soldiers into small Latin-A American countries, under vari- ous administrations of both parties. that many Americans have come to. regard it as the natural and lawful thing whenever any American interests have been threatened. The new policy, so-ealled is.-really policy as old as our nation, in, harmony with interna- tional law, the Declaration, of Independence. the Constitution and the Monroe Doctrine It is also in harmony with the better usages of diplomacy and the best interests of our in- ternational relations and nade

Amos w. w. Woodcock director of pro- hibition, isn't quite sure in his own mind about the legality of fruit juices that become wine with high, alcoholic content. In re- sponse to a query put to him by Rufus S. Lusk, executive secretary of the Crusaders, he replied that where it is proved that there was intent to manufacture beverage which is in- toxicating in fact arrests and prosecutions will be made. The federal government has already made several arrests along these lines and the cases are pending. The hard job, though
 will be to prove intent to violate the prohi- bition laws No concern, not even the Cali fornia Fruit Industries, Limited will admit that it IS trying to circumvent the law by selling fruit juices in kegs Of course it ad- mits that the juices in kegs will ferment and that in two or three months 1t will be ne- cessary to bottle the content. but it doesn' [

Washington.-The University o Porto Rico can't very we'll send foot
 ball or baseball teams here, but ii
 sent a debating team to the United
 States which has lost only three ol
 31 debates with teams from Ameri.
 can and Canadian universities.
 The. Porto Rican boys were will. ing to debate any subject in either l English or Spanish and to take Ieither the affirmative or the nega- tive.
 There was one exception. They would take only the affirmative side
 on the question: That this side
 condemns the principle of prohibi-
 tion.'
 Porto Rico is under the Ameri-
 can flag and the prohibition laws ! but the debaters explained:
 "There is@ only one side to thai largument. But if anyone feels that there are two sides, we will be glad
 to debate them."
 So they argued against prohibi- ton six orr seven times and failed
 to win but once.
 CIasIfed with Mcxicans They also debated the policy of i armed intervention by the United States in the Caribbean and as to whether to condemn the growing
 domination of the United States in
 this hemisphere Then they came to Washington to debate the Uni versity of Mexico, whose team came here especially for the occasion, on the question: 'That the future of tablishment of closer bonds with fafn ho eli nf equality"
 There was a fierce clash of Latin developed that the two Mexican youths. Alejandro Carillo and Andres Iduarte. had come here to attack Pan-Americanism. They didn't believe in Pan-Americanisin, temperament and oratory when it Pan-Americap Day or the Pan
 American Union, they declared, and thought the union ought to be called ''The Colonial Office" The. Union gave a luncheon in honor of both teams and the Mexican boys stayed away. although the counsellor of the Mexican embassy was there some what embarrassed. Then Iduarte and Carillo said they wouldn't de- bate if there was to be decision' they were here not to debate but to present what they said was the viewpoint of Mexican and Latin. American students.
 The Porto Rican boys then got sore, said the Mexicans had prom i ised to debate. accused them o1
 being debating team which didn't
 know what debating meant and
 hurled at them the charge of poor sportsmanship.
 N No Decision The debate, or whatever it was went on to no decision. we propose an Ibero- American I union as a means of defense against 1.-the common danger" said Iduarte and Carillo. We are here not tt ldebate but to defend the spirit of

Rumors are going the rounds that the old guard in the democratic party is so enthused over the party's opportunities in 1852, both in the state and nationally, that it is prepar- ing to take over the rens of government as far as actual. management is concerned, That means that both National Committeeman MoNeil and Chairman O'Sulivan may find opposition to themselves cropping up before this year rolls by. However, we are pretty: sure that Governor Cross won't brook any changes in the organization that he demanded last year and he is sure to be renominated. We don't think it is time to make change. The old adage about swapping horses in mid stream still is true.

New York - The army of gold
 braided and uniformed doormen of New York would comprise a most picturesque parade were they all to
 march down Fifth avenue in mass formation.
 There would be Russians with
 huge Cossack hats, young fellows | groomed in the garb of court pages, | fellows who seem to have just ar-
 rived from Eton, kings guards, gents who might have stepped from the
 scarlet capes and men with blue
 capes, men with leather tipped caps
 and men with braided caps. Underneath these uniforms would be ex-officers in the czar's army;
 former noblemen of nations turned over by revolutions students and
 musicians and junst job holders You'll recall that a former doorman
 of the old Waldorf became a minis | ter of the gospel and was using his | job as means of studying mankind: and there was the fellow in front of | a theater who married a bankers daughter and was an artist all the time; there was the chap who later got job with the Metropolitan and
 who wanted to make money enough | to study without working too hard at it.
 The fellows, young and old, who open taxi doors in front of New York's smarter places have an ex- cellent opportunity for watching the | passing show.
 There is, for instance, the courte-
 ous, blue-coated gent who stands in front of Elizabeth Arden's beauty aI. r70xr I<a <,1.e I1rrr dreds of women bent on preserving their beauty beyond the days of
 their youth, and youth hanging on to
 such beauty as it possesses.
 He is acquainted with at least half the members of the social register.
 and like the famous old ticket-taker at the Met opera door can--and does l-welcome hundreds of celebrities by name. He has been on Fifth avenue for such a long time that he
 can tell who happens to be passing
 or arriving by merely glancing at the automobile. He is said to be ac-
 quainted with any number of cars I and when someone asks: 'sDid Mrs Van Rennselberg came in to-day?"
 he can answer. without hesitation,
 ''Yes. she just drove off in her Rolls a half-hour ago."
 l Knowing the cars, he also can spot where they are parked, when a
 customer is ready to be driven off,
 He has been known to hunt down
 machines parked many blocks away The doorman who guards the por-
 tals of Bergdorf-Goodman' has a
 bow that has become almost legen- dary on Fifth Avenue. Yet for IS
 years he was a butcher. He studied l before a mirror to get his stance,
 approach, or whatever 1t is His tech-
 nique is said by experts to have few
 equals. There's another one at an-
 other entrance of the same place
 who drove the drst electric cab in

up" any country where the policing is bad or an insurrection occurs. He will keep war ships waiting at the ports. if necessary. to rescue American citizens. but he will not invade the interior to save Americans who choose to take risks there. He will not make war in behalf of American investments, but will let investors take their natural risks in Latin-America as they do in Europe. He will not do other countries policing for them From the American public goes up great sigh of relief.

1 New York. He will display his pio- neer license on the slightest provo- cation.
 An odd duck, this gent, to be open ing cab doors, since he also was captain on Hudson river boat. By the way, he achieved the unique sa- lute that has certain sort of local fame while serving in the army. A third was once a pitcher for the Athletics; still another was. for many years, private body-guard to Coblenz, the banker; one more is an Englishman who painted stream lines on cars.
 Hans is the young Scandinavian at the Fifth Avenue hotel and preens himself like a niateinee idol. He IS quite the matinee idoP of the swan kier doormen and actually gets mash notes from passing cuties.

A PLACE FOR MACKENZIE
(Hartford Times)

(Hartford Times)
 Appointment of Harry F. Macken- zies recently superseded as state la- bor commissioner by Joseph M Tone, to be federal commissioner oS labor for Connecticut, takes care' of MT Mackenzie and doubtless sats isfies both the Connecticut repuplis can organization and Mr Mackenzie himself. He is the handy man of the organization, an influential figure iA the capitol; more influential than he proved to be in his own Fairneid county in last falls election.
 There have been disturbing ru- mors that the organization proposed to provide for him by making him deputy comptroller in place of E. H. Wilkins. We believe there is no especial enthusiasm in Connecticut, outside of the particular wing of the organization with which he is afhl - iated, for the continuance of Mir Mackenzie in the public service. If he is to be a public official, how T ever, it is better that he should have the new federal place than that he should displace the present deputY comptroller. This latter official was' appointed some year ago in quesq for business efficiency and not To q political reasons. An expert account ant was desired to improve method in the comptroller's office and M Wilkins was appointed because oT his qualifications in that direction We are not aware that any one pre- tends MT Mackenzie has qualified tions of the same sort. To have ap pointed him in place of MT Wilkin would have been to put ! politicia in a position occupied by a ma chosen for expert ability in a tech nical line. The way out found
 MT Bingham is far better than th previously proposed or rumored
 have been.

FRANCES AMERICA DAY' On April 21, 1917, Paris celebrated Limited States Day. in honor of our .country's entrance into the war. Though the celebration was begun April 20, the activities on this day included reception to Ambassador Sharp, procession to Lafayette's statue and exercises in the city hall. The Stars and Stripes were unfurled from the Eiffel Tower, the City Hall and other municipal buildings.
 Alexandre Millerand, president of the French Maritime League, which organized the celebration, made an address in which he said:
 "Yes, history will assign to MT Wilson place among the great statesmen of all, time, for he has been able, in 8 memorable document, to make clear the ideal reasons why honor condemned neutrality and commanded war in order to assur', 1, to humanity the definitive bless ' of Deace"

when the Porto Ricans and othe4 dashed over, shook their hands an,
 back-slapped them into silence. That climaxed the remarkable Porto Rican record, which was be- ing made before and after the pe- riod President Hoover was visiting the island possession. The Porto Ricans defeated Harvard, Yale, Uni
 versity of California and more than a dozen others. Eleven debates were delivered on no decision
 basis. At University of New Mex ico and Tulane university the island CTS won debates in Spanish one night and in English the next.

admit that it is selling wine and of course it actually isn't. It is merely selling fruit juices We don't sec how the federal govern ment can ever lay illegal intent to these con- oerns. And certainly if the federal farm board is going to loan millions to carry on the ven- ture it has an air of responsibility about it that can't be defeated. And don't forget that Mrs Mabel Walker Wilebrandt is attorney for the company. Doesn't that prove some thing? Of course it does.

With only one more senatorial district pos sble in Connecticut unless the state consti- tuition is amended, there will be quite bat tie if the committee on senatorial and congress sional districts decides on reapportionment. It seems almost certain that the additional con- gressman will be elected at large SO we don't hold much hope for senatorial district changes, despite the fact that they are sadly needed.
