HIS SALVADOR CLAIM
Says Unless Paid the United States
Must Take a Hand.

Col John P. Irish, attorney for the

the State Department yesterday TO dis
cuss with Mr.. Loomis, the Acting Secre-

American government to live up TO its
agreement to abide by the decision of
the arbitration committee. which award =
ed the American company damages in
the sum of $500, 900. Colonel Irish said
this morning that it is impossible to tell
at this time whether any agreement will
be reached between his clients and the
government of Salvador
''In case the claim is not settled the
United States will certainly be forced
TO take steps to enforce collection for
the principle of arbitration is at stake. .
said Colonel Irish. Salvador chose two
members of the commission, was ably
represented, and now refuses to abide by
the decision of court of its own choos-
ing"
The Salvadorean Minister, NJ. Lopez,
also called on Mr. Loomis yesterday to
