Hungary is reported to be on the brink of a revolution. The principal reason given is that there is a widespread distrust of the present Government. The rapidly falling crown has also a good deal to do with the discontent...
World Opinion. The eyes of the world are upon the fifth Pan American Conference now in session at Santiago de Chile. Secretary of State Hughes, in a message to the Conference, made a plea for a better understanding between nations, the removal of suspicion, distrust and hatred.

National prejudice is inevitable, and has caused the two nations to drift apart...
