Under those circumstances" and in the name of Pan-American fraternity, La Epoca urges the careful study of the question in order to a'rrive at a favorable solution of the difficultes mentioned. There are no fundament al divergences to toovereome but sim ply those of method, it says adding that harmonious relations are woth United States Kingdom anctthe Unit ed States, the shipping board will de clare an open market and haul any- i thing, anywhere, at any rate.
