In A Nutshell

All panics are alike in that they
all result from the overs,raining of
credit.
II is extravaganza. spending in eX-
cess of earnings. or borrowing in ex-
cess of savings, that causes al. pan
lcS.
What shall we do 10 prevent t.:c
excess of borrowing over saving from
causing a panic?
In brief, the way 20 prevent panic
= to subdue that swelied feeling, and
recall that pride goeth before de-
struc,ion. If dealer and manufacture
er. and producer of ia" materia IS
will consent TO somewhat lower
prices even at the expense of shading
profits a little, and if wage earners
will accept lower wages as the cost
of living declines. and if everyone
will give UP moderate fraction Of
the increase in personal income at
tanned during the past few years,
then there will be no panic, The way
to avoid such disasters is 10 keep
our borrowing within our saving, our
expenditures within our income. and
our commodity and goods prices at
reasonable levels.-Paul Clay. in
Forbes Magazine.

| AMERICAN NOTE TO CHILE

Washington, March aS-An Official
summary OF the American note 10
Chile regarding the recent anti-Per1-
Wan disturbances in Bolivia and Il
the reply OF the Chilean government
was made public today by the s,a:e
department. The American note
which asked Chile to do everything IN
its power TO avoid the breaking oat
OF hostilities on the west coast Of
South America. evoked some adverse
comment in Chilean newspapers, the
Mercurio declaring that il gave evil
dence of suspicion that Chile lad
fostered the differences between
Bolivia and Peru.
The American chamber of COM
merCe at Valparaiso also closed the
action OF the American government
] and in "a message Joseph H. Shea the
American ambassador said the nose
as published in the Chilean newspa-
pers was grossly erroneous uncalled
/ for and absolutely contrary 10 the
expressed principles of the Ameri-
can government.
The state department Summarized
the American note and the Chilean
reply in the following statement:
ON March Il the American am5as-
sador in Chile was instructed by The
department of state 10 inform the
Chilean minister for foreign affairs
that the government of the Tn, ed
States had informed the Bolivian
government that it viewed with tho
gravest apprehension the attack by a
mob on the Peruvian legation ini
consulate and on the houses end
stores OF Peruvians in La Paz.
The Bolivian government also
vas informed that in the opinion of
the department OF state any agita =
ton tending 10 endanger peace on
the American continen, would be a
calamity which would place the
sravest responsibility or those who
counrenanced it. The ambas sa dor
was further instructed to inform the
Chilean minister for foreign affairs
that this department would deplore
mobilization in Chile and that a
similar representation to the gov
ernments Of Peru and Bolivia Be-
l:y!a regarding mobilization in those
tOAHtIlSS.
on March - the American am
hassador in Chile cabled the depart
nent that he had received note
from the Chileaif foreign Office ex-
pressing thanks for the information
the ambassador had given concern
ing American representations made
| TO the Bolivian government and de-
plcrlng the disturbances in La Pax
The note declared in part that
Chile's conduct in the past and its
sincere desire for peace will coun-
sci il 10 look with misgivings on
any attempt to disturb international
order. After stating that the
Chilean government when duly in
formed Of the events occurring in
La Paz could not attribute to them
greater consequences than to a
simple agitation of popular elements,
The note concluded with the state
ment that the government and peo-
pie Of Chile are absolutely tran
Gull and have not thought for a
moment of the extreme measure OF
mobilization.

Warning to Auto Buyers

People in the city are receiving a
we'll timed warning about buying
automobiles as the fact is well
known that many automobiles that
we're stolen in Massachusetts last
summer have been disposed of
through Maine and such transac-
tions are liable to bring persons Of
good repute and business promi-
hence into an unpleasant limelight.
Detectives have been working in the
city for several months on the mat
ter and they feel reasonably sure
that the responsibility for the sales
in this city have been narrowed
down to point where it is not go
ing to be difficult to bring the
guilty persons to justice.
One machine which was exanin-
ed for the purpose of Identification
was found to have had the stock
number removed and another sub
stituted in its place and that fact
helped to make the matter Of detec-
ton Of the thieves a very difficult
matter. The local automobile deal
ers consider the matter a serious
one. but each feels sure that no
sales of this sort have been made
through reputable and legitimate
dealers. They are determined TO
sift the matter to a conclusion and
establish> their innocence to the
public as we'll as to discover the
guilty parties and cause them to pay
the penalty for illegitimate dealing
through the courts. The impression
is that but few of the cars remain
in Waterville but that many pass
through here.
