FLETCHER ATTACKS
TREATY OF PEACE
Ex-Ambassador to Mexico
. Says League Betrays
| Monroe Doctrine.

SHADE GAP, Pa, August AT
lacking article XXI of the league of
nations covenant as betrayal rather
than a safeguard of the Monroe doc
trine, Henry p. Fletcher, former am
bassador to Mexico, in an address to-
day at a reunion here of former resi-
dents of Huntington county, declared
that the democratic party, through
Its Endorsement of the league cove
nant, was seeking TO set up "a vain,
visionary and vanishing scheme OF
world regulation and interference
based on an arbitrary disposition OF
the lands and peoples of the earth.
The treaty of Versailles, as signed
by the President, submitted to the
Senate and Endorsed by the demo-
cratic national convention the for
mer ambassador asserted. absolutely
and completely destroys the great
chart and charter of peace with free
dom. which We venerate under the
name of the Monroe doctrine
Treaty Requires Interference.
Declaring the spirit of the Monroe
doc,iInr - ne a safe guide in the
conduct of the nations international
affairs, Mr. Fletcher added:
THE Monroe doctrine forblds
American participation IN the poiitl-
cal affairs of Europe. The treaty re-
quires it.
The Monroe doctrine forbids out
side interference in American AFFAIRS.
The covenant provides for 1t
Article XXI of the treaty of Yer
sailles," Mr.. Fletcher continued, is
the famous article OF the covenant
which we were told would safeguard
and protect the Monroe doctrine.
There are two versions of the treaty,
one in French and the other in Eng
Ish Both are authentic. Appar-
entity the French text of this article
was prepared for European and the
Difference in interpretations.
The English text of article M
reads: Nothing IN this covenant shali
be deemed to affect the validity OF
international engagements such as
treaties of arbitration or regional uh-
derstandings like the Monroe doc
trine for securing the maintenance OF
peace.
"A literal translation of the French
text of the same article, however,
reads: international engagements
such as arbitration treaties ana re-
gional ententes like the Monroe DOC
trine, which assure the maintenance
of peace. are not considered as IN
compatible with any of the DISPOSE
tions of the present pact
But both of these explanations or
reservations of the Monroe doctrine
arc only medicated make-believe or
sugar-coated dope. They do not safe
guard or preserve the doctrine at all
They betray it. They merely reIer
30 regional ententes' like the monroe
doctrine. This is the phrase py
which we were to be lulled to sleep.
IT IS misleading and confusing. put
sc we stop a moment to think we see
that the Monroe doctrine IS no more
ike a regional understanding than
NO trespass' sign is like a lease OF
q hunting Or fishing right.

GASOLINE RATION EAST
OF ROCKIES IS UNLIKELY
Petroleum Institute Counsel Be-
ieves Conditions Do Not
Require Step.

NEW YORK, August 1t L.
WEIGH, secretary and general counsel
of the American Petroleum Institute,
replying today to an inquiry by AL
fred Reeves, general manager OF the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. declared that rationing OF
gasoline in the territory east OF the
Rocky Mountains would not be neces-
sary.
He said he believed virtually all oil
companies in the territory would OPP
pose rationing as mot being required
by the fundamental conditions in the
territory and as being impracticable
in operation, even were the scarcity
greater than it is.
Existing local gasoline shortages
due to abnormal transportation con-
ditions, Mr.. WEIGH added, will not
be continued long.
He cited figures. indicating that
since last May production of petro-
leum and Mexican oil shipment had
increased. Latest government figures,
he said, indicated that the June pro-
duction actually exceeded consump-
ton. Mr.. WEIGH warned, however,
that reckless and wasteful use of
gasoline should be discouraged.

Incidentally, investigation made by
City Halls serious sleuths show that
the thieves were acrobatic, daring and
determined.
Entrance was gained to Doctor Hap
pers place by forcing the front door.
After taking many choice sets Of teeth
as well as quantity of gold from the
dentists Office, the intruders went to
the roof. BY means of a rope they
reached the roof of I.ehman's estab-
lishment and went TO the first floor.
There they ripped off the door of a safe.
in which several hundred wigs were in
storage and picked out the most ar
tistic.
Stacy looking wigs such as worn by
actors who come to collect the mort
gage on the farm were turned down.
The robbers took those of the iron gray
millionaire stage and n number Of
natty- looking creations calculated to
add class to the wearer. A few goatees
and moustaches, like those worn by
duelists in daring dramas, were taken
for good measure.
In view of the fact that the visitors
overlooked some ready cash, Detective
George Benz, who is investigating the
case. believes that the thieves had some
very serious motive in the robbery
aside from getting mere money for the
loot.
And the same suspicion is shared by
District Detectives Ferris and Mcclure,
who are helping to hunt down the rob
bers.
incidentally close watch is being
kept on institutions where most Of the
inmates are baldheaded and toothless.
