At ISSUE ON zap
Governments Stand Firm On
Attitude They Have Taken
ALLIED POWERS OAFERRING
Americas Position sound-AIlies Dis
posed To Admit She Cannot Be
Deprived Of Rights With
out Her Consent.

Washington The American and
japanese Governments have adopted
equally firm attitudes with respect to
the status of the Pacific Island Of
zap. The diplomatic exchanges be.
tween them on the subject is continu
ing but those to date were made pub
lie both in Washington and Toxic
They consist of two memoranda and
three formal notes.
Japan's last communication received
here in the closing days of the Wilson
administration insisted that it had
been awarded a mandate for the island
by the Supreme Council at Paris on
May z, 1918, and that it could not
agree with the American contention
that, irrespective of any award of man
date, other nations should have free
access to the islands for the landing.
and operation of cables.
In replying to this note, Secretary
Hughes on April stated emphatical-
Iy that the United States could not
be bound by any action either of the
Supreme Council or of the League of
Nations, and that, as no one had ever
been authorized to surrender or cede"
the right of the United States in the
island, the American Government
could not recognize the ALLEGATION OF
the island or the validity of the man
date to Japan"
The Japanese Government now has
this communication under considera-
ton. The governments Of Great
Britain, France and Italy also have
before them similar communications
on the subject dispatched by Mr..
Hughes at the same time that the
note to Japan went forward. Elk
changes between the four Allied gov.
ernments are understood to be under
way with a view to reaching com
mon accord before replying.
Meantime, however, France has
sent preliminary reply in which she
states that the matter is one for the
Supreme Council to consider at its
next meeting in May, and that when
it comes up she will approach it with
view to finding a solution which will
give every satisfaction to the United
States.
The viewpoint of the Harding Ad-
ministration, as explained in official
quarters, is that the question of wheth-
er the Supreme Council did actually
award the island to Japan on May 4,
as eontended by that country, and dis
puted by President Wilson and the
State Department, is of secondary i'm
portance.
The important point at issue, it is
emphasized, is the recognition by the
Allied governments of the principle
laid down by Mr.. Hughes-that the
United States, as one of the principal
Allied and Associated Powers. has
an equal right with the others in the
former overseas possessions of Ger
many, and that those rights cannot
be disposed of without the consent of
the American Government

MONROE DOCTRINE
IS REAFF|RMED
Harding Delivers Address at
dwelling Of Simon Bolivar
WOULD FIGHT FOR DOCTRINE
Statue OF George Warrington Rededi-
Gated simultaneously In Venezuela
BY People OF Rolivar's
Native Land.

New York.-The republics of North
and South America joined hands
across the Caribbean in two notable
historical events commemorating their
heroes who showed each continent the
road tc liberty.
Amid the roar of cannon and the
plaudits of distinguished gathering,
President Harding at the bronze
equestrian statue of Simon Bolivar, I'm
yelled in Central Park, New York, pro-
claimed anew the fundamentals of the
Monroe Doctrine and cited the desir-
ability of standing firmly together for
service, both to the new and old world.
simultaneously in Caracas, Vene-
zuelas capital, President-elect Gomez
and the people of Boliva's native land
gathered around the statue of George
Washington, which was unveiled with
appropriate exercises in Washington
Park, new site to which it had been
transferred.
President Harding's brief visit to
New York gave the public its first OPP
portrnity to greet him as President
with the enthusiasm always reserved
for the nations Chief Executive From
the moment of his arrival until his de-
parture three and half hours later
crowds waited good-naturedly in the
chilly streets through which he had to
pass and cheered a cordial welcome.
President Harding was generously
applauded when he declared the Unit
ed States is ready to fight in uphold
ing the Monroe Doctrine.
THE history of the generations since
that doctrine was proposed. he said,
has proved that we never intended it
selfishly. that we had no dream of ex-
ploitation. On the other side, the his
tory of the last decade certainly must
have convinced all the world that we
stand willing to fight, if necessary, to
protect these continents, these sturdy
young democracies, from oppression. .
The Presidents arrival at Bolivar
Hill was signalized by salute of 81
guns. After he had been escorted
to the stand facing the statue, fol
lowed by Secretary of State Hughes;
Rene Viviani, envoy extraordinary
from France. Governor Miller, Mayor
Hylan, DR. E. Gil-Borges, Venezuelan
foreign minister, and a host of Latin
American diplomats and representa-
t. es of patriotic societies of both
continents, the ceremonies began
promptly.
The unwilling of the statue by the
great-grand-daughters of Gen. Jose
Antonio Paez was the occasion for
another salute of 81 guns, followed by
the playing of the Venezuelan Ma
tionai Anthem by band from the
Brazilian battleship Minas Geraes and
the presentation by Minister Gil
Borges. Mayor Hylan accepted it for
the City of New York, and wreaths
we're laid at the base of the statue by
various societies.

RAT|F|ES
COLOMBIAN PACT
President Wins Out BY Vote
of SO to 10
INACCURACIES NEW POLICY
Breaks In Both Parties-Several SEN
ators Change Their Position In
The Voting On Various
Amendments.

Washin gton.-The Colombian treaty
growing out of the partitioning of Pan
anna was ratified by the Senate. 1t
provides for the payment by the Unit
ed States of $25,000,000 to the South
American republic, but as yet to be
approved by the Colombian Assembly.
The news administration, through
ratification of the treaty, won its first
fight in the Senate. The President, in
message to the special session of the
Senate March 8. i've days after his
Inauguration, recommended ratifca-
ton as very helpful at the present
time in promoting our friendly rela-
tionships."
This recommendation was supple
mented by Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, the Republican leader, who in
reply to attacks of Republican Sena-
tors of the Progressive group, declared
ratification of the pact was part of a
great national foreign policy contem-
plated by President Harding towards
our neighbors in the Southern and
Eastern Hemispheres."
Forty Republicans were joined by
20 Democrats in voting for ratifca-
ton. One Republican, Page, Vermont
and three Democrats, Shields, Ten
nessee; Owen, Oklahoma, and Walsh,
Montana, were paired in its favor.
Two Republican senators. Elkins. West
Virginia. and Newberry. Michigan,
were absent and not voting.
Fifteen Republicans and four Demo
Gratis voted against ratification. They
were:

son, California; Jones. Washington; ;

McNary, Nelson; Norbeck, South Da-
kota; Norris, Poindexter, Townsend
and Wadsworth.

and Watson, of Georgia.
In the roll calls on Senator Borah's
amendment to exculpate this nation
and its agents from any wrongdeing
in acquiring the Canal three Demo.
Gratis voted with SO Republicans on
the first call and with 81 Republicans
on a second call. These Democrats
were: Kendrick, Wyoming; Reed

in opposition. These were: Dillingham;
Vermont; Fernald, Maine; Reyes
New Hampshire; Ladd, North Dakota
Lodge, Massachusetts,; Mckinley, Illi
nois; Spencer. Missouri; Sterling,
South Dakota. and Sutherland. West
Virginia
A murmur swept the chamber
when Senator Lodge changed front
on the amendment. A milder demon
Istration had occurred when he sup
ported it on the first call. Senator
LaFollette, Republican, wisconsin
who supported most Of the other
amendments proposed, voted loudly
in the negative on the Borah amend
ment.

BRITISHERS WARNED
 TO EXEtCIsE CARE
Austen Chamberlain Advises Commons Members Not To Jeopardize
  Irish Settlement.

London, Aug 17.-(By Associated Press)-Austen Chamberlain, the gov ernment leader in the house of com mons, today cautioned it's members against any debate which might threat en a settlement of the Irish problem while Loridoners were eagerly buying newspapers in which the pronounce ment in Dublin of Ramon De Valera, /, the Irish leader, against the terms of fered by the British government streamed across the front pages.
 Answering questions as to whether there would be any announcement or debate on the peace negotiations, MT. Chamberlain said no statement was ad- visable today and he did not know what might happen between the prose at time and the propagation of parliament.
 ''I hope that whatever the feeling of the members on the subject may be- Mr. Cha mberlain declared, they w:n not take any step which. might jeopard- lze peace so long as there is any hope of securing it.
 The government leaders declaration: was greeted with cheers.
 So far as the general public was con- cerned it was apparently in 6 maze, unable to interpret the announcements from Dublin or to decide whether the peace principles had been definitely shattered.

BREAK IN MARKET LOWERS MILK PRICE
Large Surplus on Hand Farmers
 Undersell- Smash Go Prices

Despite the fact that the American Milk Producers Association, which meets once a month in Hartford, &C., cording to a statement of local
 dealer, fixes the retail prices for milk in this vicinity, underselling of milk
 by individual farmers and surplus
 on hand caused by dropping off on
 sales has broken the market in New
 Britain and the price of milk is on
 the toboggan in this city. At meet
 ing held in the chamber of commerce
 recently local milk dealers, with the
 statement that they were getting to- .gether and adjusting the price, adopt
 ed 14 cents as the price per quart.
 This resulted in falling off of sales.
 August being a slow month for milk
 under any condition, the raise in price when other prices are going the other direction and the lack of money with which to meet advancing prices on tho part of many people caused a consid- erable falling off in sales. This was the cause of a large amount of surplus milk accumlating on the market. Quick to take advantage of this con- dition and not wishing to see their money lost entirely. individual farm CTS began bringing milk into the city and selling it from door to door at prices ranging as low as eight cents a quart. .l ... ........-
 The result of this was shown by a large display in last nights Herald by the Farmers Milk Company stat | ing that the price of milk sold by this concern has dropped from IA cents l to II cents per quart At J. E.. Sci bert and sons it was stated this morn l ing that, although they were still ask ing 14 cents for their milk, the sur plus on the market and the drop in prices by others was likely to force their prices down and that something might be heard from them within a day or so.
