Protest from U. S. Unheeded

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 29-Asserting
the American principle of the open
door, the State Department to-day ans
nounced that vigorous protest had
been presented to the Netherlands gov
ernment by American Minister William
Phillips at The Hague against the con-
templated action Of that government to
prohibit American capital from deve-
oping the oil resources of the Dutch
East Indies
The American statement informs the
Netherlands government that Clutch
capital has had free access to American
Oil deposits" and demands a similar
privilege for American interests in the
development OF the oil resources in the
Djambi fields of the Dutch East Indies.
The protest lodged with the Minister
of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands
by American Minister Phillips has di-
rect reference to the fact that the
Dutch government is about to grant a
monopoly to company in which for
elgn capital ether than American is
largely interested, and the demand is
made that the American principle of
reciprocity and equal opportunities to
other nations be subscribed to-
Secretary of State Hughes authorized
the publication of the following text Of
the note communicated by American
Minister Phillips to the Netherlands
Foreign Office:
Text of American Note
"Excellency: During the last twelve
months | have. on several occasions
presented to your eXcellency the very
great interest of my government in the
participation by American capital in
the development of the mineral oil de-
posits of the Netherlands East Indies.
With your approval ! have also had
frequent interviews With the Minister
of the Colonies on this same subject.
On every occasion l have sought to
impress upon the government of The
Netherlands that The real interesu of
the Government of the United States
in these matters lies in the recognition
of the principle of mutual or recipro-
cal accessibility to vital and natural
resources by the nationals of the
United States and by those of foreign

The Whale

The other day I saw whale,
the first my old eyes ever
viewed; it frolicked on the
waters pale, and made me think
l must be stewed. For l was
gazing out to sea, my mind con-
cerned with fancies light, book
of verses on my knee, and not
prepared for such a sight. 1t
seemed a gay and happy fish, a
very optimistic whale, and made
the water go kerswish, when
e'er it tapped its giant tail. An
ancient seaman at my side
looked on, with trouble on his
brow; the whales are getting
scarce" he cried, eve do not
often see them now. The whale
you see may be the last, where
countless thousands used to
lurk they're killing off the poor
things fast-machinery now
does the work. The risky life
seemed good to me when l
fought whales. in bygone years.
but now they butcher whales at
sea as X. c. packers butcher
steers. The good old monsters
OF the deep don't have chance
to keep their goats; the harvest
ers go forth to reap the whales
as farmers harvest oats. They
used to haunt this sunny coast,
you'd see them any winter day;
tut they have yielded up the
ghost. they're killed and canned
and shipped away And still
the whale seemed void of care,
from every dread and trouble
free: it stood on end and leaped
in air. and gamboled in a silver
sea. WALT MASON.

embodied in the resolution was a re-
quest that proper action be taken at

The association also voted to hold
its meetings once a month instead of
semi-monthly. as heretofore, and the
fourth Tuesday of each month was
decided upon as the night most suit

Important Meeting
At A. & NJ. College

Agricultural College, Miss, Oct. IS.
The first meeting of any OF the stu
dent organizations held since the 1921
session of Mississippi A. & NJ College
opened its doors on October IL was
known as the Mississippi Association
of Student Engineers Friday night.
These young men areall members of
the junior and senior classes number
ing several hundred of the enrolled
students and are now seeking to af-
filiate with the National Association
Of engineer students.
The officers who were elected in the
spring are: ]. M. McAllister, Way
nesboro. presi5apt; Roy A. Mcclure,
Tupelo, president; NJ. NJ. Addison
Jackson, secretary treasurer.
The most impodtant and significant
action by the body was the adoption
of a resolution to open the way to-
wards securing a change of the Off
cial name of the postoffice on the
campus. They believe that the name
Agricultural College, Miss" is not
distinctive. Their intention is to do
all possible to have the name changed
to "A. and NJ. College, Miss" They
hold that the present name is not
sufficiently distinctive; that the large
and yearly increasing enroliments in
the school of engineering in its sew
eral branches, justifies their position
and this movement. While instruc-
tion and training in agricultural sci
ence largely predominates, he impor-
lance Of engineering courses cannot
be overlooked or questioned Author
ity of the faculty will Of course first
be sought.
This body Of students has started
that will result eventually
in the founding of a building on the
to be known as the student
engineers hall or community building I,
Anucleus sum to start the work is al /
ready in hand and their efforts will be 4
continued through academic sessions (
and vacations, until a good working
capital is in hand. While it may .
probably be a good long while before
the result Of Their labors form and
substance they say that they are
not building for today, but for pos
Gritty on a substantial foundation.

A BIG DEMAND
FOR THE DAILY
Papers Go Like Hot Cakes On
Frosty Morning When
Offered For Sale By
NewsbOys.

! The Dispatch appreciates more than
words can express the hearty, cordial
and enthusiastic reception given its
daily issue on Monday evening. As
soon as the papers were printed they
we're put into the hands of newsboys
who went upon the streets to sell
them The boys would cart out WITH
supply of papers, would be gone a
few minutes, then dart back in for
another supply. Everybody wants
EN-" the boys said.
When we thought we had enough
papers to supply the demand we stop
ped our big Duplex press, but very
soon it became apparent that the de-
rland was greater than the supply, 50
we had to make two runs aftes that.
A large number of people bought
papers to get Captain Popes picture
Some bought to get the account of
the homecoming service on Sunday
night at the First Methodist Church
Others bought the papers to get the
splendid society page conducted by
Mrs. L. II. Searcy. We had a number
of calls for copies of the paper be-
cause it contained the Centennial pro-
gram, etc, etc. etc.
Fully fifty of our best citizens said,
"Keep it going; Columbus is big
enough to support daily"
That is true, Columbus is big en-
ough to support daily newspaper,
and the Dispatch has all the equip !
ment necessary to publish a daily. If
the people want daily, we'll give il |
to them. All that is necessary is for
the business interests of Columbus to
take three hundred inches of adver-
Using each day at twenty-five cents an
inch. The residue of the proposition
we will take care of. We have a reg
llar daily newspaper press, Duplex,
that prints from long rolls of paper
We have two Linotypes, a Miller saw
trimmer, cut-casting apparatus, etc. A
Mr.. Maer had his plans made for a
laily when his summons came. We
would like to "carry on" for him.

talented visitor to the Centennial, will

memory may recall them and the inn
pulse may prompt to speak.
An informal "love feast Of home
corners and their friends will close the
service. wherein the generation Of to-
dav seeks to honor the memory and
emulate the virtues of the carnations
Of yesterday, who contributed so
largely toward the laying the founda-
lions of our city in righteousness and
the fear Of God.

age. are cordially invited TO be pres
cnt.

Franklin Academy, two two-story log
houses which were owned by the
vealthiest men at this time, a black
smiths shop, a tailor's shop. Only
one hundred people were the inhabit-
ants.
The 1921 representation is a vivid
picture of the city as it stands today
with its beautiful shade trees, colonial
homes, Main, Market and College
Streets, with the various buildings
and residences.
This very artistic work has been
done under the direct teaching of
Miss Wayatt and her co-helpers and
it could easily be called a bird's-eya
view of the city as it stood in 1921
AID as it stands today.
In the 1921 representation the rapid
development of educational interest
and the spiritual development are
shown.
