HIGH SCHOOL GAME

The crowd which attended the

director Of financial end Of athle-
tics In Hartford's three high

his estimate on the paid admissions
which amounted to approximately

larger. This years crowd fell be-
low that Of last years Willow Brook

No definite figures relative to the
amount each school will receive
could be announced ~ yet. Bills
will have to be paid and expenses
incident to the game will have to
be taken from the receipts before
the two schools receive their shares.
Each school will be given half the

The crowd was slightly more than
5000. 1t 10 probable that with the
added number of people who came
in on complimentary tickets the
crowd was about $500. approx
mately 1900 less than the record
crowd of 1926 when 10000 were at
the game.
The unusual decrease In the at

fact that the football fans we're con-

Which Is more convenient: to i'm

msrcial relations or to maintain

tttions which would require time and
study; with the fatal eventualitiea
which would. without doubt, appear

Before going into detailed consid-
GRAFTON Of the sugar problem. Gen.
eral Machado discussed briefly the
coming meeting of delegates to the
arbitration conference of American
republics In Washington. He said he
favored the creation Of an inter-
American court of justice to be lin
charge Of examining and deciding
all the differences that may arise
among the peoples OF the con-
tinent."
Excellent Formula
THE principle of arbitration is
the most excellent formula to ad-
just difficulties that may arise be-
tween our countries" he said. 1.-THE
doctrine Of compulsory and unlimtt-
ed arbitration has lately gone
through such evolution that. II the
states congregated at Washington,
led by an unjustified prudence,
would accept any solution of re-
stricted arbitration. it would seem
in discordance with the times and
the conscience OF our peoples.
II believe that, to complement the
success of those so-awaited gather
ings and in order that the problem
shall leave the field OF distractions
AMI result more Complementary
and congenially to the peoples who
will definitely ratify the diplomatic
formula prepared. it is convenient to
extend the agreement toward crea-
ton OF an inter-American court OF
justice. This would be The organ In
charge of examining and deciding all
the differences that may arise among
the peoples of this continent.
'1f individually, the efforts of the
continental nations in favor Of con-
Citation and arbitration mark a
path full Of struggles. but also of
victories in the diplomatic gather
inss recently. there is no reason to
doubt that, collectively at Washing
ton, new example will be given to
the world of the cordial. just and
humane policy that presides over the
relations between American coun-
tries"
In regard to economic relations
between the United States and Cuba.
the president said:
AT the termination Of the war of
independence the Cuban found he
had no other patrimony than his
glorious weapons, then useless for
the struggles of peace. and his de-
vastated fields. We lacked capital,
and the North Americans generous
~ offered what we needed.
Industries Revive
Since then American capital re-
manned legitimately in Cuba. With
part of that capitol our sugar and
tobacco industries have come up
again-fountains of our wealth in
the past and today the two princi-
pal bases of our national economy.
I'm the last war we were decisive
factors in the production of sugar
and its supply to the allies. We

Cusachs replied.
"It is in international practice
to place a period after abbrevia-

Another error described in the

procuring the papers. Cusachs said
the sO-called official stamp Oa1

In the American viewpoint the
French amendment changes the

Arizona S Claims
In Colorado Riuer
Barred to Congress

WASHINGTON Jan. 6 up - Com
pensa ion to Arizona and Nevada for
power developed at the proposed
Boulder canyon dam on the colorado
river was advocated before the house
irrigation committee today, by Mulford
Winsor, president of the Arizona state
senate, who deterninedly opposed the
Swing johnson bill on behalf Of his
state. Hearings on the measure began
today and are expected to be finished
~ January 16
Chairman Smith Of idaho, charac-
terized the suggestion as unique" in
TINA ting that hardly a single member
CT congress could be expected to vote
for payment to a STATE Of any income
derived from a government project To-
Gated on public domain before gov
ernment expenditure had been repaid
WinSor, who represented the Arizona
Colorado river commission, said that
the minimum acceptable for power
generated at Boulder dam would be
one mill per. kiloWatt hour, the equiv
alent of $3.50 per horsepower annually
This sum would be divided equally
between Arizona and Nevada, he said
estimating 1t would amount TO approx
imately $l0OO0O0 for each state an
nually
Representative Swing, republican, Of
California, estimated thai such pro-
vision would increase the charge fol
power to four mills per kiloWatt houl
and would cost California users ap-
proximately SS,60Q000 annually.
In cOi7dnmning the Swing johnson
BILL Winsor charged that it would
mean a conspiracy between the fedora
government and California to deprive
Arizona of is rights. by subscribing
to the Colorado river compact, as il
would do under this BILL he said, "tht
federal government would cooperate
! with California to boycott Arizona"
