.REPAYMANT OF WAR
 LOANS NECESSARY
Advances to Foreign Gov ernments Should Be
 Paid Back
By Associated Press

Paris. June 15.-Suggestions reported re- gently have been made in America that the United States should not require the repayment of the war advances made to Europe run counter to the views of the financial specialists on the American peace mission.
 "The financial branch of the American commission" said one of the specialists, believes that any surrender of these advances would be bad for Europe. as it would encourage reliance on American taxpayers to pay the debts of Europe, whereas the regeneration of Europe de- bends largely on the productive ability and self reliance of it's own people"
 It is understood that the American financial experts when they rejected the suggestion for the redistribution of the war debts of the various nations, told those who made the suggestion that if it involved any waiving of the obligations to pay the advances made by the United States it would be reported to the Secre- tary of the Treasury with recommen- dation that any further advances be dis continued. The proposal thereupon was dropped. It is stated in this connection that figures gathered on the relative tax ation resulting from the war show that France and Italy increased their taxa tion about per cent, Great Britain about HOO per cent, and the United States about 2000 per cent. The American advisory therefore maintain that the payment of war advances is not only an obligation, but also naturally falls on those who have borne the smallest percentages of war taxation.

the former Mexican minister of foreign affairs said:
 President Carranza has not attacked the Monroe doctrine; he has only stated that the government of Mexico cannot recognize it, as 1t has never been looked upon as an international pact between Mexico and the United States. In virtue of this doctrine. the United States is not under the absolute obligation on the part of the Spanish-American nations to safe guard their countries against aggressions of European governments. The United States in spite of the Monroe doctrine, has kept and keeps the most complete freedom of action according to its own in terests in such cases. The right to act as a free and conscious nation constitutes the best guarantee to the American gov ernment for the interests of it's people
 General Aguilar did not deny that Pres ident Carranza had proposed an entente between Mexico and the Central Ameri- can republics. when asked about the prog ress that had been made in forming the entente, but said:
 'The government of Mexico, in its diplo- matic relations with the Central Ameri- can countries. has confined itself to the pursuance of the same policy of more cor dial relations developed with the other nations"

On Lake Front

The $1,5O0,000 hotel apartment building to be erected at Miami, Fla, by Thomas J. Peters and associates. reported in the Industrial Index, may be built on tf. beach, instead of adjoining the Hal cyon hotel as first intended. A proposi- tion to build on the beach front has been made to MT. Peters and his associates by the Miami Beach Improvement com pany.
 E The new plan is to give the hotel spa cious grounds fronting east on the little lake near the Miami Beach casino. The site offered also includes large block of land on the east side of the lake ex- tending to the ocean, which would give the proposed hotel private bathing facili- ties.
 The little lake is connected with the upper bay by beautiful Indian creek, and with the lower bay by a canal which has been beautified it's entire length Since fine tarpon grounds are found in the up- per bay, 1t is believed this arrangement will prove convenient for the guests of the hotel who love fishing. The site offered to MT. Peters would place the golf links, the tennis club, the ocean, and the Miami Beach casino and baths within easy walking distance and at the same time offer abundant dock age for fishing craft, so the hotel would be most convenient to nearly every line of sport the guests might desire.
