ly the announcement that Mir. Cool idgc approved Of the sale to ObreGon of surplus arms and ammunition in supply depots in this country. It was a reversal Of the policy adopted by his predecessor. MT. Harding. but that, ap- parcptly, did not ruffle the Yankee in the White House" The chief eXecu- tive has gone a step farther and has prohibited the export of war material to any faction other than the Obregon government.
 Thus is history made. The United States is definitely committed to a policy of upholding established gov crnmcnts in 1.atin-A American republics. A precedent has been established which. it is predicted, will cause this nation no end of worry in the future even though it may have the effect of maintaining tranquility among peoples whose temperament leads them to sudden outbursts Of passion which find expression in revolt against law and order as represented by incumbents in Office. As a mere suggestion, why not add to the cabinet secretary vested with authority to examine into the virtues of every insurrectionist move mcnt in the southern republics? Such government official may yet be nec- essary.

FRANKLIN SQUARE PROBLEM

There exists a traffic problem at the intersection of Main street and Frank lin Square which has solely to do with the pedestrian going south from Main street to Franklin Square. The road space from sinslii's store to the Amer ican Hardware property has to be watched carefully by the pedestrian while crossing, and the approaching northbound automobile coming up Franklin Square is a matter Of much concern to the person or persons wish ing 10 cross. TO guess the direction Of the approaching machine is no easy matter, fl might go up Main street, down Park street or go down Elm street. Most Of tho machines are go- ing at a fair rate Of speed which gives the pedestrian a shorter space of time to guess the secret of the auto drivers direction.
 The solution of the problem, in the opinion of the Herald, is 10 place large sign, illuminated at night, at about 25 feet from the dangerous in- tersection warning the northbound traffic to slow down. The solution is slow traffic at that corner and a sign, If placed there, would give the autoist stranger or otherwise, no excuse for not slowing down. To convince one has only Co watch, an evening the police man is off duty, and sec the bewilder- cd pedestrians trying to out-gucss the approaching machine.

 To the Editor of the New Britain
 Herald
 A repoIt which appeared in your paper recently contains incorrect statements in regard 10 the case of Walter Moyse at Birmingham, Massa- chusetts. Kindly print the following authentic information:
 Tn the case of Walter Moyse at Birmingham, the evidence did not show that his leg was broken, but the evidence did show that he was treated for six weeks or more by a physician and surgeon before he and his father decided to try Christian Science, The ruling that the law of Massachusetts requires parents to al- ways provide medical or surgical treatment for their children is with out precedent in Massachusetts, and was made in what is called the Dis trict Court which is inferior both to the Superior Court and the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. An appeal has been taken. In this case, testi- mony was given to the efficacy of Christian Science by several witnesses, including a well known physician of excellent standing in his profession"

5. D. Indians Given
Pay After II Years
Fifty Members Of Santss Sionr Tribe Get
$500 From United States.

After having waited for 81 years
to get what they considered simple
justice, so members of the Santee
Sioux Indian tribe living in the
vicinity of Flandreau, South Da.
kota, have received an aggregate
of $4,000 from the federal govern
ment within the past week. The
amount for each Indian was
1929. 80, which was paid through
the postofice.
The money received was prom.
ised in treaties made with these
and other Indians in the Santee
tribe by the government in 1880,
1885 and 1850, by which they
ceded to the government lands
situated in Minnesota, Iowa and
other states. AS the result of the
great Sioux uprising at New Ulm,
Mimi, the government abrogated
these treaties.
However, most of the Santee
Sioux had nothing to do with the
uprising, and in 1895 they CON-
menced their efforts to obtain what
was due them. The act of Con-
gress awarding them the money
was passed in 1917 and the work

Exploitation Of Indian -.
Territory Laid to Fall
ByReport Of House Body

Another instance of questionable
action by former Secretary Fall in
throwing open lands for exploita
tion by private oil interests has
been brought to light in report
from a subcommittee of the Indian
Affairs Committee recommending
rejection Of a bill requested by
Fall's successor, Secretary Work,
which the subcommittee holds |
would legalize Falls action. +
The territory involved corr]
prises unallotted lands on. all IN
dian reservations created by Ex-
ecutive order. Heretofore such
areas have been regarded as be-
longing to the Indians and not
subject to lease or even taxation
without their consent.
When oil and gas were discoy-
cred on some of these reservations
in Arizona aud New Mexico, Fall
made an unprecedented ruling that
the Indians only lad the right to
the use of the surface, and that
the subsoil or mineral rights be-
longed to the Government. He
ordered numerous applications for
prospecting permits granted by
Fall, and since then these natural
resources have been taken out in.
large quantities without the In
dians' consent or benefit to them.
Fall provided that all funds
from the leases should be withheld
from distribution pending legisla-
tion for their disposal. Work
recently asked passage of an act
authorizing distribution of the
money among the Indians.
Leaders among the Indians
Rights Association put the matter
up to Moorefeld Story, Boston
lawyer. who advised them Fall's
order was without legal foundation
and that the full value of the oil
and other minerals belongs to the
Indians. The courts will be asked
to order full restitution and ejec-
tion of lease holders.
The subcommittee's report ''res.
ommends that the bill be NOT
reported to the House." 1t points
out that the act Of February Is,
1920, under which Fall acted,
authorized the mining of coal,
phosphate, oil, oil shale, gas, and
sodium on the public domain. but
that it specifically excluded certain
lands. Indian reservations were
not mentioned either way.
The action of the subcommittee
reyerses u decision it reached Jan.
uary 23, when q favorable report
on the bill was recommended.
The revelations of Fall's part in
the naval oil lease scandal prompt
ed the subcommittee to 60 into
the Indian situation and make fur
ther inquiries. The result of the
second Investigation aroused sus-
