Secretary Hull of the State Depart
ment will be greeted by soldiers OF two
armies when he lands at AntofagaSta
and Santiago on his trip down the
Chilean coast en- route to the Pan
American conference at Montevideo.
Chile has citizens army, organized
TO make the regular army behave and
to keep it from upsetting constitutional
government
1t contains about 10000 members
scattered throughout the republic. The
regular army is about one-third that
size.
The citizens army wears overallS and
doesn't make the Snappy appearance
of the regulars. Its members are law
yers, doctors and business men who are
well drilled and well armed. They are
pledged to support constitutional gov
ernment regardless of the party af6lia
ton of members of the government.
President Arturo AlesSandri of Chile
was regularly elected to Office under the
constitution Consequently, he las the
support Of this voluntary militia as
long as his government is conducted on
constitutional lines.
The Roosevelts believe in building up
friendship with South America through
personal contacts President Theodore
Roosevelt sent his Secretary IT State,
Elihu Root. to Rio de Janelro in 1906
to attend the third Pan-Amer!csn con-
ference. That established precedent
Root was the first Secretary If State
to make personal visit to South
American neighbors.
And now President Franklin D.
Roosevelt is sending his Secretary of
State, Cordell Hull. to the seventh Pan
American conference which is to open
at Montevideo December 3.
Secretary Root encircled South Amer
lea in a warship and visited all the
leading cities on both coasts. Secre-
tary Hull will travel by passenger
ships, but will also visit all the capitals
within easy access of the sea.
President Coolidge and his Secretary
OF State, Frank B. Kellogg. both at
tended the opening of the sixth Pam
American Congress IN Havana in 1923.
Bainbrioge Colby, Wilson's Secretary of
State, visited Brazil, Uruguay and Ar
gentina in 1920, as the personal repre-
sentative Of President Wilson, to repay
visits made to this country by President
Pessoa of Brazil and President Brum of
Uruguay. Philander G. Knox, Secretary
Of State under Taft, visited the Carib-
bean countries In 1912, but none Of
these Latin American tours was as COM
prehensive as the Root itinerary which
Secretary Hull is about to duplicate.
The Third International and its agi-
tation for worldwide revolution will
probably figure less in the Roosevelt
Litvinoff discussions of Russo American
relations than they did in the negotia-
tions with Great Britain, France and
Italy, which resulted in the recognition
of Soviet Russia by those countries In
1924.
Soviet Russia has become much more
realistic in the meantime and has been
so busy with industrialization under the
five-year plan that it has paid far less
attention to the international spread OF
communistic doctrines in recent years.
Like capitalistic countries, Soviet
Russia has become somewhat OF an iso-
lationist in its efforts to resist effects OF
the worldwide depression. 1t has def
nitely adopted state capitalism, rather
than socialism, and is intently at work
under Stains direction trying to make
itself industrially self-contained.
Turks. the world over, will celebrate
the 10th birthday anniversary of their
republic tomorrow.
The Nationalist government headed
by Mustapha Kemal actually came into
existence at Ankara in 1921, but the
proclamation of the republic and the
election of Turkeys emancipator to the
presidency took place on October 20,
1928
Mustapha Kenal led victorious
army against the Greeks at Smyrna,
abolished the monarchy and forced the
allied powers to make the treaty Of
Lausanne, which removed foreign troops
from Istanbul and freed the new Tur-
key from international control.
