Negotiations '..etvveen the United States and Japan over exclusion laws and Asiatic policy are at a delicately balanced stae. The Mexican problem presses for decision as l'res't Ohrerton assumes power and begins to pass upon some of the issuer, which have irritated the two nations. Rritaln. France and Italy are taking exeremely important decisions on the future of the near east, in which America has declared itself an Interested party. The League of Nations has been struggling with world problems in which we have, a vital stake. Yet at this moment Sec'y of State Colby leaves his post in Washington for a journey to South America. lie will be away for weeks and he will have only the wlre'ess and the foreign controlled cables for communication with home. l'res't Wilson, it in true, is able to exercise a cercertain me.i.-ure of supervision ovr foreign affairs, but there are many aspects of the big situations on which only the secretary of state can i'. ass. Then, why has Mr. Colby gone? The official announcement explains it is necessary that he return the visits of the presidents of Rrazil and Uruguay. Rut On. Pershing niiill have done that as well, if it is merely a matter of courtesy. And there is no hurry- to return the visits of the prince of Wales and the king of r.clgium. Again, why? Ri Combinations of I-itln4. Perhaps the answer will be found in some wMely scattered cireums i w ces which have b-en quietly romping tip in world politics within recent weeks. They have startled the st'i teT'ieti of some, of the big powers, heeaus-o of the proof that Spain had oubtly formed an incipient league of Ratin peoples within the Iag-.n- of Nations and that th new combination was determined to have a real voice in the future conduct of at'filrs This combination has already 1 rought about some dramatic upsets at dem-va and elsewhere. Tt undoubtedly has made Washington sir up and take vigilant notice because of its undeniable threat to tip Monroe doctrine.

The task of bringing about a Spanish-American rapprochement is one of the Ideals of King Alfon.-o. I believe the spirit which animates Conn- de Iyon In the League of Nations assembly Is the result of close contact with King Alfonso and has for its rrpose the putting Into effect of King Alfonso's ambition to bring about a complete union of Interests and ambitions of all nations of Spanish origin. Spanish Colonics Tnkc a Hand. (f). Spanish colonics in South South America have asked that they be permitted to elect members of the parliament In Madrid and the government is seriously considering the Idea. (61. Under the patronage of King Alfonso and Popo Renedlct. a seminary for missionaries who are to work in South America has been established in Spain. No secret Is made of the purpose to establish apostolic vicaretes under Spanish clergy in all the Soanlsh-speakin g countries, with the idea of spreading Spanish influence. (7). In reporting the results of the universal postal conference at Madrid, tho Associated Press correspondent said: "The outstanding feature rf the gathering was the making of a rict, outside the Tniversial union, between all the countries of th" western hemisphere and Spain, whereby they become one postal territory, exchanging postal consignments at the same rates as obtain in the domestic malls. When the agreement became public the Rurope.-in nations took same time o realize its importance, after which there were hurried consultations. but these had no effect on the accomplished fact." (S. In the .esIons of the chambers of commerce of tho worM. which have been trying to work out methods of better business cooperation, the Ratin nations have again Kffn found acting in close accord.' CM. King Alf nns. is to make a g-eat tour of South and Central American staffs next spring or summer, ( . scortrd by a naval piadron. Cuha will he include! In the tour. Madrid despatches s.av: "His idea is; to promote a Spanish-speaking entente, so that the countries forming it will exert combineed action Tn the furMire in a diplomatic way.

A gentleman, a ; man of fal'h. a man of honor. Is the ' same thing the world over." , And. rs Mr. Colby speaks out to i the peoples he is to viit. T am surej we will find that he has sortie purpose stronger than a mere tour of! courtesy; while his conversations

with the leading men of the visited nations will doubtless have very practical foundations. What he can do in view of the fact that Mr. Wilson and he are so soon to retire. Is a puzzle. If he is able, however, to halt the growth of the SpanishAmerican combination he will have performed a service which Mr. Harding will find valuable. Reply to Anglo-Saxonism. There are two excellent reasons why the Ratin-American nations should drift toward union with the older Ratin nations and especially toward Spain. They fear an Anglo-Saxon combination for control of the world's affairs. They fear the "Colossus of the North" which is their name for the United States will use the Monroe Ioctrine to rule all the western hemlsj here. They beheld at the Paris peace conference the spcct.ale of Premier RIoyd-Cieorge and Pres't WRsou dictating almost everything that was done of a practical sort. They saw P.ritain carry off the "lion's share" of the snoils in the eastern hemisphere. They did not fully trust our ideals and there were many rumors that Pres't Wllron. in the secret sessions, had made bargains to make cer4aln that the Urlted States should have its way in the west in return frr giving Rritaln her way in the e;; Pt nad in Kurope. T have never found anv foundation for sjch reports, but they have wide belief. They have been helped along by the strong Rritish campaign in America for combination of the two nations to set the world aright. The utterances of the Rritish ambassador and other propagandists have not been lost on the I .1 tins. Tale of Our Ambitions. An example of the tales circulated among the Ratios is the one- that an arrangement had been made at Paris whereby we are free to enter Mexico without Itrltish opposition. Large bodiec vf these peop'o believe thn the bnst we exacted was heevmony over .all the nations bordering on the Cnrriboan. They expect to -a e us march into Mexico, QUALITY OF PRODUCTS AND FAIR, SQUARE DEALING is the reputation given us by our patrons. Coal Service Co. Main 351 "You Hear It Everywhere"

goiii'le up Central America and Panama and then begin to absorb 'olombit and Venezuela. Prom that vantage ptdnt, according to this :reful'.y-proragated Idea, wo would insist on supervision of the reist of South America. Rear of our ambitions had lon been lnriile.l In I -a tln-A merk a before the Kiva! war. All the European nations hr-d a hand in It. P.ritain included, and the result had been the formation of whet was known as the A. Ti. C. combination Argentine, Urazil and Chile which demanded that It should have an equal voice with Washington in all matters affecting American nations. This group took a strong hand in the Mexican situation when we had our trouble with Huerti: and Pres't Wilson recognized ft1 right to be heard. Since the war we have had another concrete example of this, feeling. Chiie, Teru and Rolivia almost came to blows last year over the disputed provinces of Tacna and Arica in northern Chile, which all claim. Washington undertook to exert Its good offices for peace, only to be told very emphatically by Chile that the row was none of Its business; and to find other Ratin nations backing up the Chileans. Roc Peril In .Monroe Doctrine. The worst feature is the dancer the Iatlns see In the survival of the Monroe Doctrine. The best elements in these nations appreciate the great benefits the Doctrine has bestowed in permitting them to develop their governments free from the domination of the European imperial powers; but they insist that the very operation ef the Doe trine is forcing the United States more and more to take control ef latln affairs. The way it works is this: Some Ratin nation borrows from Ruropeansi or gives Europeans concessions and does not carry out is obligations. Or some European is illtreated or killed. The European nation demands that we permit it to exact reparation and protect its nationals. We refuse. It then insists that if we will not let it act. Ve must do something to protect Interests and lives. Then we are
compelled to go in and force the i little nation to reform and pay its debts. Tt was that sort of thing that caused us to drive Castro out of Venezuela and keep him out. It has led us Into Hayti and Santo Domingo and gradually compelled us to take supervision over Central American states. The European nations have been pressing us for years to do something about Mexico. Thus the Monroe Doctrine has been extended in a way Its ennnclator could never have expected. Wc have entered on these commitments with the utmost reluctance. We have exerted the least degree of powe r commensurate with the task we have had to perform. We have hedred rather than exploited the people and given them really greater liberty than they had enjoyed under their old corrupt chiefs. But throughout the Ratin countries these truths are seldom told, while the fact of occupation and Interference with internal affairs of Ratin peoples is emphasized. King Alfonso Able Statcsmnn. When to this feeling was added the fear that the Anglo- Saxon peoples will get together and rule all the others by the weight of their military and financial power, the opportunity was presented to Iatin statesmanship to form a new and powerful combination. Alliances are always built on fear. King Alfonso was the shrewd statesman who seized the opportunity. The world has been disinclined to take seriously this descendant of a line of kings who have been ncfed more for profligacy and corruption than for qualities of leadership. Rut before he is through he is likely to write his name larpe in history. Tn the war, balancing himself on the family differences natural between an English queen and an Austrian otiecn-mother; on the political differences within his own peoples dj.. to the extreme pressure from both great alliances; on the religions differences due to the fact that foes of the Catholic church wen- fighting Catholic Austria he kept his country not only out of entanglements but out of troublesome compilations.

Now. with these riches, the king is directing the effort of h!s country to reach out for a higher standing in the world of trade nad finance He is a k"n business man. Hip Americans who have pone to Spain with the idea of entering into de;.M for the development of that country have found the chief person they had to deal with was the monarch. And when they have met him they h.ivc found him not only hlphly informed about matters in Spain, but about their own affairs, their methods of doing business and American business and ways generally. He is a big thinker and shrewd bargainer, as much intent on restoring the power of his people as Kaiser
William was with Germany. ! He has made shrewd use of the natural Inclination of the Ratins to ; unite, and he has been aided by the i Catholic church, which naturally is stirred by the idea of worbl rule by ; Protestant Anglo-Sxonlsrn.
