ENCROACHMENT ON CANAL ZONE FEARED BY WILSON WASHINGTON, July 21.—That the United States fears encroachments ; by Europeon powers upon the Canal Zone and is therefore preparing to establish an armed protectorate over all Central America was clearly indi cated during President Wilson’s semi weekly conference with the “newspa per cabinet’ to-day. Protection of the canal, the Presi- | dent said, is the underlying principle of the Nicaraguan proposal by Sec. i retary of State Bryan as the means i for settlement of disputes relative to ; the canal, and the reason why Nica- j ragua was selected as the first coun try to be approached in connection J with the policy which is destined to j succeed “dollar diplomacy.” The President said the United j States desired to render friendly as- j sistance to all Latin America, and in dicated that the other republics wouid j be approached when negotiations j with Nicaragua had been completed. | Secretary Bryan’s Nicaraguan pol icy is not intended for application to i all the Central American republics, but each will be treated with sepa rately. The Platt amendment giving the United States the right to intervene in all the Latin American countries will be introduced into all the agree ments with these nations, and the United States will be enabled to ex ercise an army protectorate over all Central America, and the Monroe Doctrine w ill be bolstered in its w eak est part. It is realized that European nations may object to the power of the Unit ed States, but their objections mere ly will be “noted and filed,'’ because the United States believes it is en tirely within its rights in defending the Monroe Doctrine as it sees fit.

This leaves only 48 Democratic Senators upon which the Democrats can rely to support the measure and makes the vote of Vice President Marshall necessary to break a tie if Chamberlain bolts on the final vote. “I want it understood,” said Cham berlain, “that as a Senator from Ore gon I am absolutely free to support what is right in this matter. I am not bound to support this or any other measure.

Senator Burton, of Ohio, Republi can, attacked in the Senate to-day the ad valorem duties in the Underwood- Simmons tariff bill; denounced as fals- Democratic predictions that (he bill would reduce the cost of living, and critcised the measure for its “free trade tendencies.” Burton declared that members of the Democratic party admitted the Underwood - Simmons tariff bill would not reduce the cost of living. He quoted from a “signed interview” by Secretary of Commerce Redfield, in which Redfield termed the benefit to be derived from the tariff bill “moral and mental,” and stated that no “intelligent man expects it (the bill) to be more than a step toward the reduction of the cost of living.” “I believe that the proposed meas ure is based on theories which are erroneous and that its adoption will prove disastrous to our industrial ac- tivites and to the whole framework of our economic and social life,” said Burton. “Furthermore, it will not accom plish the beneficial results which are claimed. “The business of the country, its industrial life, had adjusted itself to a party of protection. For 50 years ihe prevailing rates have been high. We can not change from these rates in a single year without widespread Injury. The proposed changes are without precedent in the fiscal history of our own or any other country.” BRYAN ON SALARY.

The fact ought not to be over looked, and it ought not to be neces sary for me to mention, that in my life are certain fixed charges which must be met.

With the Roumanian army within a day’s march of Sofia, the Bulgars are ready to accept peace at any price. The retaking of Adrianopie by the Turks seems to mark the utter col lapse of Bulgaria’s resistance to the attacks of its former allies and its former enemy. Apparently Bulgaria’s recent crush ing reverses are largely due to dis sensions among its commanders in the field and the lack of confidence on the part of the Government in the heads of its army. From present indications it is like ly that Bulgaria will be shorn of the territory which came to it as the result of the victories over the Turks in the recent war. Already the Sofia Government has offered Roumania an important terri torial concession to cease hostilities. It is likely that the other Balkan States will claim a large share of territory as the fruits of victory. Peace arrangements probably will be made without the assistance of the powers, the Balkan States being in sistent upon settling their dispute without outside interference. READY TO ARBITRATE. ATHENS, July 21.—If Bulgaria ac cepts the preliminary conditions of the other Balkan States, the war in the allied States will be brought to a speedy conclusion.
