President Wilson'S Statement on

chartering agreement aud the pro.
posed general agreement has lain even
longer without reply on the part OF
Holland. Meanwhile German threats
have grown more violent, with view
to preventing any permanent agree.
ment and of forcing Holland to violate
any temporary agreement.

been received which, while in itself uA.
acceptable, might. under other Condi-
tons, have served as basis for
further negotiations. But the events to
which I have alluded had served to
demonstrate conclusively that we have
been attempting to negotiate where
the essential basis for an agreement.
namely, the meeting Of free Wills. Is
absent. Even were an agreement con-
cuded, there is lacking that power OF

sovereign. that which is so reasonable
that. in other circumstances. we could

Steps are accordingly being taken
! TO put into our service Dutch shipping
lying within our territorial jurisdic

similar action which is being taken
by Governments associated with us
leaves to Holland ample tonnage for
her domestic and colonial needs.

Republic of Chile
Making Paper

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The
shortage of paper has led to a gov
ernment investigation of the paper
manufacturing possibilities in Chile.
Paper manufacturers of the republic
have held several conventions to as
certain the capacity of their facto-
ries and grades Of paper that can be
manufactured in the country.
There are now in Chile nine paper
factories with a total production Of
100000 kilos (of 2.2O pounds) an
nually. They are capitalized at g.
100000 pesos and employ 400 men.
The newspapers Of Chile have been
alarmed at the scarcity Of print pa
per due to the shortage in the United
States and the lack Of vessels to
transport what paper could be OBJ
tanned in this country and elsewhere
in the world 1t has been developed
that the big factories in Chile can
make print paper out Of the raw ma
terial obtainable IN Chile and they
have already begun the output. This
win be increased as rapidly as pOssi-
bic.
