Unfortunately, political complications in Chile, which resulted in the over- |throw of the government with which | Minister Planet was collaborating, pre- vented the carrying out of his pro- posals.

Two more recent instances indicate still in progress. Two other interna- tional conferences have lately been held in two Southern capitals, which seem bined, mutually profitable action may compensate for the losses that economic factors of an almost indefinite Chll’lc-‘ | ter have wrought.

The conference was | called to devise means to relieve the critical financial conditions prevailing | in those nations and to decide upon | “what aid the Federal Reserve System and other banks of the United States| could lend to the Spanish-American | countries. * ¢ ¢ A resolution npgrovtd by the con- ference spoke of the possibility of en- tering into negotiations for obtaining temporary advances from banks in the United States as deserving the atten- tion of “the central banks of these and other countries and of the Bank for In- | ternational Settlements, for the purpose | of furthering the cause of central bank co-operatfon, and international mone- tary stability, which institutions of this kind should foster.” That the conference did not state the case even more strongly, as & cor- respondent points out, was due to the generally recognized circumstance that foreign banks of issue were not in a receptive mood for more credits. Another resolution recommended to the central banks that “they co-operate in the study of new mechanisms for providing intermediate credits for pro- ductive purposes.” These credits for | exportable products “should constitute a useful and constructive part of any plan for aiding these debtor countries Depression Has Taug Value of Co-operation Among Nations that this tendency for co-operation is | to show that the Latin Americans have | D.

The conference covered a wide range of subjects, and the general results ap- peared so satisfactory to the participants that they decided that another confer- ence spould be called some time during 1933, and that other central banking institutions of issue and rediscount in America should be invited. Soon after this conference adjourned another one, called by the Uruguayan government, met at Montevideo the latter part of December. In it the three east coast nations of South Amer- ica—Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay— got together in an attempt to correct their present disorganized trade situa- tion by means of tariff facilities and special commercial arrangements. The conference followed a visit to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires by Foreign Minister Blanco of Uruguay, who suggested to the Brazilian and Argentine governments the possibility of reciprocal tariff agreements.

If the economic depression has served to show the Latin Americans the value sell the Congress of the United States the idea of reciprocity with the other American republics—which Secretary Blaine advocated at the outset of the pan-American movement, 40 years ago —then, perhaps, the reader will admit the truth of the old Spanish saying that “No hay mal que por bien no | venga.” (Coprright, 1032 Continued Peace in Venezuela, And Not Revolution, Prophesied Correspondence of The Star.

The danger is considerably more serious in Cuba, where economic conditions add to the | discontent of the population and rebel- jous elements are much more active than in Venezuela.” This distinguished writer’s fear is unnecessary and his supposition is er- roneous, that in Venezuela there may take place any sort of revolution. The country is prosperous, it has no debts | and its people have manifested plainly th the admin- that they are satisfied wif Juan Vincente istration headed by Gen. Gomez. The best proof that nobody in Vene- zuela and none of the Venczuelans abroad, with certain insignificant ex- ceptions, is thinking of civil war is in the latest armed adventure of the Venezuelan Gen.
