formed by those Of divergent po-
harmony to bring their Respective coun-
tries out OF difficulty and despair. Un-
fortunately these efforts have not been
attended with much more success than
has distinguished the exertions of
strictly partisan governments.
In Germany and England we have
seen such results of these endeavors, but
regardless of failure to achieve all that
Is desired from the functioning of these
non-p partisan affiliations, there is a sig
nificance in the attempt to meet upon a
common ground, and in the desire to
agree upon political doctrines and
measures which shows truly that a bet
ter political day is on the march.
Even in the United States, the last
country wherein We look for any politi-
cal harmony, almost the first official
act of President Hoover after the cleo
ton was to summon Pres:dent-elect
Roosevelt to a conference at the Maison
Blanche in order that even before the
termination of the Republican regime
Democratic policies might be considered
and applied to Government projects.
The matters uppermost, no doubt, in
President Hoover's mind were those con-
cerning international debts and dis
armament. Insomuch as his own de-
cisions in regard to these problems have
been extensively repudiated. he is show
ing a commendable intelligence by step
ping aside to let other ideas take pre-
cedence The conference was quite in
formal, and scarcely means that there
is to be any general coalition between
other active leaders of the respective
parties. The Republicans seem satisfied
to let all international revisionS and ad-
justments be made by the new Govern
ment which has declared for them.
They are quite willing that the Demo-
Gratis should be credited with all the
developments, whether for better or
worse-and particularly if the latter!
The views of President Hoover and Mr..
Roosevelt still differ radically In the
matter Of disarmament. Mr.. Roosevelt
considers this question affecting prln-
cipally and primarily the countries OF
Europe.

We are in a position to report that a
very reprehensible business is now func-
tioning in Colon. 1t is that Of the Club
Olintidas, at the corner Of the street OF
that name and the Gale Bolivar. For
the information of the alcalde (chief
magistrate) of the district, and the
police department officials, if so be they
are not already aware of the existence
Of this gambling house. we call atten-
ton to the fact. for the second time
that this enterprise has been conducted
at the same address for more than two
years with the apparent acquiescence of
local ofhcialdom and other persons
ascendant in the community. The eS-
tablishment Is managed by a woman
who Is a native of one of the Antilles.
She boasts of having controlling in
fluence in the bureau of police, but we
shall watch with interest, following ap-
pearance of this disclosure. to see
| whether she has not exaggerated mat
ters a little in this respect.

same caliber as the audacious and no
