HUGHES DECLARA QUE TODA DE
MCCRhCIA NECESITA UN BUEN
APARATO DIGESTIVE

HANOVER, N. II, juno 10 Ell
socretario de estado Hughes, pronuncio
hoy IN elocuente discurso ante los alum
nos del colcgio de Dartmouth con mo
two de la fiesta annual de fin de curse
su discretion fu6 una brillante apollo
gia del tribunal international propues-
to por el presidente Harding.
Hughes asegur6 que no existe otro
derrotcro para la feicidad mas que la
senda de Ia justicia.
En- la opinion del ministro de estado,
el tribunal pernanente de justicia in
ternacionaI daria los Estados Unidos
mayores recursos en- materias juridica,
Que cualquir otra organization de Ia
misma indole porque sus decisiones no
estarian suspendidas al expediente po-
litico y en- 6l Sc podia expresar con voz
clara y sonora Ia opinion dominante
del pueblo americana.
Hughes aludi6 luego a las escisiones
partidistas de los ndcleos politicos ma
cionales, los cuales han hecho de este
asunto plataformas para sus luchas Y
partidarismo.
En- nuestras relasiones con II poteu-
cias eztranjeras, prosigm6 dicfendo
Hughes, deseamos paz, seguridad CO.
operaci6n Y nuestro deseo seria que.
las aspiraciones americanas fueran ex-
presadas con unanimidad Desgraciada-
mente, empero. aun sigue en- pie la ba-
bel de opiniones adversas y Ia confu-
sion Gle lenguas de nuestros caudillos
y ieFes politicos.
Son va demasiado numerosos los gru-
pos de cismaticos que pretenden inter-
pretar los sentinientos naciona1es. pc
70 10 que unos defender constituye el
blanco de los ataques de los otros. La
linica voz de America que debe hacer-
Sc oIr es el comdn sentir nacionaI
este no esta encomendado a los poll
ticos Iogreros sino a los representatives
autorizados.
Parece increible que a pesar de los
modernos mcdios de information de
Que disponemos, cualquier noticia ten
denciosa Y falta de fundamento venga
a perturbar Ia paz nacional excitando
Ia ansiedad de nuestro pueblo pro-
duciendo I'm estruendo que en- ultimo
anaisis Sc resuelva en- palabreria vana
e inocua No existe cosa tan necesa-
ria en- una democracia como I'm buen

FL GANADO DE PUERTO RICO
IS DE MEJOR CALIDAD QUE
Ell DE VENEZUELA

De un peri6dico de Venezuela re
cortamos 10 siguiente:
LAS colonias nominadas-se re-
fere Maturin Y Cayena-cuando
pueden conseguir novillos de Puerto
Rico, los compran con preferencia,
v los pagan IN ocho diez por ciento
mas caro-, porque Ia carne de esta
procedoncia es de mejor calidad; pc
70 81 81 ganado de Venezuela tuviera
el mismo grado de gordra que el
de Puerto Rico, no Sc haria notar
ninguna diferencia entire las dos car
nes.
El ganado de Venezuela es infe-
rior, porque es muy faco.
En- el mercado de Ciudad Bolivar
Sc consumer cuatrocientas reses
nensuales que provienen de las mis-
mas sabanas que dan ell ganado pa
ia la exportaci6n y segdn el calculo
de los expenditures de carne, a quie-
nes hemos pedido el dato, el termi-
no medic de la grasa que da cada
res, es de % hbras por cabeza. Ell
ganado que Sc exporta, 81 Sc presu-
pone de la misma condici6n, por ell
oatropeo del viaje Y ell encierro en-
los corrales de las colonias hasta que
10 expendan, pierde toda la mayor
parte de Ia grasa, por 10 que resulta
cue la carne es de inferior calidad
que Ia de Puerto Rico.
He aqui Ia raz6n por que no Sc
haya podido aclimatar el consume
dc ganado de Venezuela en- las islas
de Guadalupe, Martinica y Barbados
" otras colonias que preferen sur
tirse de Puerto Rico, aun pagandolo
mas caro-.
ST Sc lograra producer en- Vene-
zuela ganado de iguales condolences
que el de Puerto Rico, Sc aumenta-
ria la exportaci6n en- un cincuenta
por ciento y tai vez podria duphcar-
SO.
Otra ventaja que tiene ell ganado
de Puerto Rico, es la de ser manso;
Y 81 nuestro ganado que Sc exporta,
engordara en- potreros, tambi6n Sc
ria manso.
La exportaci6n las colonias, de
doce q ounce mil reses, sin embar-
60 no es NADIA, comparable con el
n1mero de novillos, que producira
Venezuela dentro de pocos amos. Es
necesario, pues, pensar en- buscar
salida a centenares de miles de no
villos, pero no Sc puede contar con
este resultado, 81 antes no Sc ponen
en- practica los medios para obtener
novillos gordos, como sucede en-
Puerto Rico.

BETTER UNDERTONE
IN COTTON TRADING
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 12.-The
better tone which had developed in
the cotton market yesterday was in
evidence again this morning. Liver
pool was again better than due, and
the market here opened firm at an
advance of % to 81 points on the
higher cables and continued cover
ing. January sold up to 33.7S and
May to 1896, or about 33 to SO points
net higher, before the initial buying
orders were supplied, and while this
advance was followed by slight re-
actions the undertone was steady.
Trading was comparatively quiet, be-
ing restricted, probably by lingering
uncertainty as to the probable show
ing of the governments crop report
due this afternoon.

estimate of the crop. Some demand

belt and from accounts of q good
SPOT demand in Texas marke cts.
Cotton Breaks 95 Points.
NEW YORK, December 12.-Gov-
ernment crop estimates reported to-
day were larger than expected and
cotton on the local market broke 80
to s5 points, carrying January to
$3.50 and March to 1910. At the de-
cline there was heavy commission
house and mill buying, which caused
moderate rallies.
Later the market became very
strong, advancing lao to 165 points
from the bottom and fully loo points
over last nights close. The demand
from spinners was big factor and 1t
was estimated that among the visit
ors gathered on the exchange to
witness the report today were repre-
sentatives Of New England southern

RAILROAD BONDS
ARE WEAK TODAY
NorthWestern's Dividend Cut
Still FeIt--Sugar Issues
Strong.
BY GEORGE #. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 12-Bond
quotations moved irregularly today.
The reaction which came into the
railway list late Tuesday following
cago and Northwestern stock con-
tinued today.
1t was not however, the bonds of
the Northwester which were most
affected These were indeed frac-
tionally lower, both the long term
low-coupon and the short-term high
coupon issues; but this appeared to be
due more to doubt whether the bonds
would be continued on the list of le-
gal investments for savings banks
than to any other cause. The state
ment OF a Northwestern official that
the dividend rate on the new basis
was and not 3 per cent. as at first
understood, would preserve the legal
status Of the bonds.
Other Rails Weak. =
Obligations of other railroads in
the northwestern part Of the country
were weak, notably the Chicago,
Terre Haute and Southea stern 5s, a
new block of which was offered Tues
day at S01s. They broke to IS today.
All the st. Paul bonds were weak,
and it is the st. Paul which guaran-
tees principal ana interest on the IerFe
Haute issue.
Erie general As and convertible u
As We're firm, while there We're large
transactions in New Haven franc IS
at higher prices. Missouri Pacific As
also rallied from Tuesdays low. Senti-
ment toward Missouri Pacific Secur-
tiles has improved in the last few
weeks. New York Central debenture
6s moved with the stock, into which
they are convertible. The conversion
provision is that $105 in bonds may
be exchanged for 800 in stock.
There are 100000, 600 Of these bonds
outstanding, all of which would doubt
less be converted into stock provided
the stock advanced substantially
above the conversion price prior tC
May 1. 1925, when the conversion
privilege expires. They cannot be call
ed for redemption below 110.
Sugar Obligations Strong.
In the Industrial list Eastern Cuba
Sugar 7las were strong. as were most
of the sugar bonds.
Probably the good report OF the
Cuban-American Sugar Company had
something to do with the interest
shown in this group. international
Mercantile Marine 6s were heavily
sold around Tuesdays low price.
High grade investment issues, includ-
ing libertys. were fairly steady.
Except for further advance in
Bolivia SIS there was little to note in
the foreign department.
The principal new issue OF the day
was $5,000.O 900 in Virginian Railway
first mortgage 5s, due 1852, at "a. to

CHICAGO, December flowing large
ly to a better outlook for settlement
of German reparations and for
stabilizing German finances. wheat
scored a moderate upturn in price
today during the early dealings. At
first. however. the market was of a
hesitating character as a result of
declines in Liverpool quotations. On
the other hand, domestic receipts
were small and there was some buy
ing on the part of northwestern
houses that yesterday were sellers.
The opening, which varied from un-
changed figures to haS lower, with
December 1929 to 1.03 and May
1.O81s to 1.0SA, was followed by a
general advance.
Persistent buying of May for coun-
try account gave strength to the
corn market. After opening at X
lower to b gain, May 1917 to 73A.
prices made a decided upturn all
around.
