MEXICO IN THE LEAGUE.
Mexiecrs entry into the League of Nations is important for two reasons. It implies a definite setback to the movement for creating a Pan-American League outside the League of Nations, and it will provide an argument in favour of the United States joining the League. For some time there was a strong feeling among the States of South and Central America that the League was too much occupied with European affairs and that their own interests were neglected. Brazil headed a movement which aimed at secession from the Leasrue and the formation of an American group to conserve and promote American interests exclusively. But it was felt that the formation of such a group might result in placing more power in the hands of "Washingon, and lately there has been a change of attitude and a growing disposition to look to Geneva. Quite possibly the admission of Mexico may result in Brazil reconsidering its withdrawal from the League, and in the Argentine again taking an active part in the League's work. The League will now number fifty-five Member States, and Russia and the United States will be the only considerable Powers outside it.
