May Have Inspector
 For Steam Fittings

When the plumbing code is brought into the common council 1t may contain provision for a steam fitting inspector. Ordinance Commit tee Chairman David L. Nair declared this morning.
 It was learned that in the history of the city no provision was ever made for an inspector of the work of the stcamfitters, with the result that they have been doing their work without fear of the watchful eye of an inspector, as the plumbers, build ing contractors and electricians have to be subjected to.
 Chairman Leavitt of the building commission is of the opinion that one should be provided. since the dangers of poorly installed furnaces are just as many as the possibility of short circuit in the electricians trade.

SAYS NATIONS ARE
 FEARFUL OF ]. 5. A.
Institute Speaker Discusses
 LatiD-AmeriCa

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. g lPJ- Preponderant participation of the Latin-American states in the league of nations is the result of their at tempts to ally themselves with a power that will counter balance that now exerted over them by the United States, said NJ. Nicholas Po- litis, minister of Greece to France at the Institute of Politics today.
 The predominance of the United states on the American continent is so manifest that occasionally it gives Latin America a cause to wor- ry," he said, they instinctively seek counterpoise and it's their concep- ton that with the league becoming more powerful, they would find in it that counterpoise."
 This perceived quite often at Geneva" he continued, speaking with delegates of many American states, I was told that they regretted that they are not yet in a position to submit successfully before the league the disputes they have with their neighbors. They expressed the hope to me that the time will come when the league will give them an opportunity to break be- tween themselves and the United States this old dual dealing which they consider not to become more and more dangerous to their inter- nation6. life"
 Tn Geneva" he said, better than at home, they are in a position to understand how much can be gained by forming in the midst of the league special group with peculiar solidarity"
 Latin America at present has IS members In the league, and these members, acting as unit, form a bloc whose significance is especially felt when the assembly proceeds to elections by a majority vote for its president, the council. the commits sions, and the court of justice. A majority vote in these meetings is 27 or 28, and Latin-A holds IS of these votes.
 They therefore have an over whelming representation in various posts. The ordinary assembly has met six times, and they have twice had the presidency. They have at present in the council two posts, and they will soon have an additional one, they have two judges in the court of justice, and are represented by one or more delegates on all the permanent big commissions.
 The league has given these states an opportunity to play role in in- ternational life whic hmost of them would otherwise never have known, and which the small states would have formerly thought impossible" he said.
