Mr.. Hughes in his address on the

He expressed the opinion that the

by DR.. Maurtua were a magma cnarta'

they set forth the fundamental
principles controlling the policies OF
this hemisphere.
Mr., Hughes had scarcely sat 6EIn
when Senor Guerrero opened the
attack against the Maurtua report,
saying that it has ignored completely
the Rio Janeiro juriSts Recommended

tain a specific article reading:

Senior Honorio Pueyrredon, of Ar
gentina, declared that the sovereignty
of states consisting of "the absolute
right to entire internal autonomy and
complete external independence" must
be consecrated in law and practiced
in fact or international luridical
harmony no longer exists
Diplomatic or armed intervention,
permanent or temporary, is an az
tempt against the independence OF
states without finding its justification
in the duty of protecting the rights

AquiIes Elordui, Mexican ceiegate,
continuing the general attack against
the Maurtua report, charged that the
proposed code did not guarantee the
security of small nations while the
strong countries by virtue Of their
strength need no guarantees.
Carlos Salazar, of Guatemala, crit
icized the report, saying that its
recommendations were too vague and
in general couched with excessive
abstraction while the same criticism
was maele by Jacinto de Castro, OF
Santo Domingo, who said that a more
exact definition OF sovereignty was
necessary.

FROM LONG HOP

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. R-
Dieudonne Costes and Joseph Lee
brix, flying ambassadors of
Frances completed another leg of
their air iourne5 from Paris to
New York when they landed at AL
win Callender field here this after
noon after a nonstop flight from
Mexico City. They took of from
Mexico City at 7:10 a. M, and
landed here at SIG p. M, complet-
ing the 1100-mile hop in 10 hours
and six minutes. 1t was the first
nonstop flight between the two
cities.
Several hundred persons, most of
them from New Orleans French
quarter, were at the field to greet
the intrepid airmen, who have
Iblazed an air trail between France
and the United States by way of
Africa, South America, Central
America and Mexico.
Their journey will be resumed
Tuesday morning when they take
off for Washington, going from
there to New York.
The fliers were greeted by Mayor
Arthur j. O'Keefe, of New Orleans;
Maurice de Simonin, French consul
general, and Andrew La Fargue, To-
cal attorney. Through Mr.. La Far
que, the fliers said they had a
good trip with the exception of a
short while just before they enter
ed Louisiana, when they bucked
head winds. tF
When the Nungesaer-Coli, the
plane named for the French airmen
who perished in an attempted non
stop flight from Paris to New York,
was brought to the ground, the
crowd surged toward the fliers and

original plan to make the last leg
of their hop a nonstop New York

mite decision would be reached with
their arrival in New York and
would depend largely on weather
conditions,
The most troublesome part Of
their journey today was flying from
Mexico City to Tampico, they said,
due to low-hanging clouds which
often forced them down to low
altitude. After passing Tampico,
they. found fairly good flying
weather until after they had enter
ed Louisiana from Texas, where
they encountered head winds. The
worst stretch of their entire jour.
ney was between Buenos Aires and.
Rio De Janeiro, due to bad weather.
Costea and Lebrix emphasized the
purpose of their tour as one for
perpetuating friendly relations be-
tween France and the Americas and
promoting aviation.

PRESIDENTIAL

Hoover goes into Ohio for delegates
as many of his closest political advisers
are urging him to do,. he must say
openly, within the next 20 days, that
he is a candidate And so far he has
said nothing
The Buckeye state may also have
the distinction of taking the lead in
bringing policies as well as candidac-
les into the open. Senator Willis says
he is disposed to take the offensive in
any fight with Hoover, and he an
nounced today that he would insist on
calling the commerce SECRETARY be-
fore the senate commerce committee
for questioning as to his exact position

know particularly whether Mr.. Hoover
agrees with the proposal of the Cool

the cost of flood relief should be paid
by the, individual states in the flood
area Many sections of the south have
sent delegations to Washington to
protest against this proposal, and Willis
himself has doubts as to the practic-
ability of the scheme.
If the plan of the senator from
Ohio succeeds, the capital is looking
forward to some interesting remarks
when. he and Mr.. Hoover face each
other across a committee table.
The process of bringing champion

proceeding under great pressure in

himself. Now he is being kept busy
remaining non n-committal.
The big Pennsylvania delegation is
a prize that would mean much to any
candidate. The Hoover people hope
to get it, despite the warm friendship
and long official relationship between
the treasury secretary and Vice Presi-

HAV ANA PARLEY
ARE OPTIMISTIC

I HAVANA, Feb. 4 R-General
satisfaction with the results
achieved and optimism for the ulti-
mate success and speedy conclusion
of the sixth Pan-American confer
ence voiced by a majority of dele
gates is summarized in a declara-
tion made today to the Associated
Press by Dr.. Antonio Sanchez Bust
amente, chairman of the Cuban del
legation anc permanent president OF
the conference.
'.The conference is advancing in
E.its labors with admirable rapidity, .
said DR.. Busltamente. ''It is quite
possible that the present meeting
will establish record for Pan
American conferences, not only in
accomplishment, but also in swift
ness of procedure.
t'If all our work is completed, as
II believe it will be within the six
weeks allotted, it will be. not only
ia direct tribute to the splendid eff
forts of the delegates, but also to
the splendid preparation worked
out before the. opening of the con-
ference"
Recalling that the congress al
ready has passed the half way mark
of its scheduled , six weeks, Dr..
Bustamonte. said: ''It is rather DIFF
ficult accurately to fix the date of
adjournment, but / believe that,
with the same cooperation shown
so far, we shall finish our delibera-
tionS on schedule"
Charles Evans Hughes expressed
his admiration for his colleagues in
the following terms:
"The most significant feature. of
this conference is the admirable
spirit of cooperation and fraternity
that prevails. y
The heads of other delegations
expressed the following opinions.
DR.. Honorio P'ueyrredon, Argen-
tine ambassador to Washington:
"The conference has shown a
marked tendency to progress in
matters not strictly of American
Importance. We have gone forward
rapidly in attacking questions that
might be solved in any internation-
al conference, but have Jagged in

purely American interest. 1t is! diff
lficult to say what the outcome will
be, but am hopeful that we shall
arrive at several important con-
Istructive conclusions.
Jr. Jesus Salazar, Peru:
II believe the success of the con-
ference depends upon the will Of
1.-THE delegates to follow a technical!
course in debating problems con-
nected with the organization of the
Pan-American union. We are pro-
ceeding along line of accomplish
ment and are making definite prog
Iress. However, we must keep per-
isonal problems and matters of par
iticular interest out of our delibera-
tions and dispense with prejudicial
opinions if we are to arrive at
broad and sincere conclusions. The
success or failure of the conference
rests with the spirit in which we
handle problems of comman and
general nature that confront u.s."

HALLOWEEN NIGHT MISCHIEF

Halloween, when it started far back in the midst
of time, the night when evil spirits supposed
to flock out of hiding places and the earth,
rauding and destroying
After many centuries We the work of the evil
spirits inherited and ably handled by Willie, Tom
Pat and the rest of the youthful gang.
1t illustrates how next to impossible it is to get
custom or superstition out of the human brain, once
it gets there
On the ancient agricultural calendar, Halloween
was sort of New Years Day. Harvest was over and
and the landlord called for his share of the crops
raised by tenant farmers.
It was the custom for him to arrive late in the
evening and make merry at such pastlmes as cider
drinking and apple bobbing. When the fun was over
and the landlord got down to business it was early
morning of November /.
Probably this is why the first of the month is
rent-payng day, instead of the fifteenth other
date that would be just logical
Time was, when Halloween was less night of
devitry and night of hospitality, good fellow
ship roaring freplaces, good things to eat and drink
and delightful superstition such walking down eel
lar stairs Backward earring candle and mirror, in
which cher future husbands face might appear.
The world has not enough of hospitality and good
ship. Let's revive it, this Halloween, and make the
night of witches and goblins jovia we'll as prank
full.

ELECT A DEMOCRATIC BOARD

Shall Santa Cruz County-with a registration
Democratic by great majority continue to be man
aged by Republican Board of Supervisors?
Tls S the big question of the hour in local poll
ncal relies. 1t IS question occupying even more To-
cal interest than the for the Presidency between
Al Smith and Herbert Hoover, or that between Gov
Hunt and Judge Phillips for Governor
For the fist time in it's h story this Democratic
county has had Republican Board of Supervisors
the past two years-all because the Democrats of
Santa Cruz split up two years ago, fought among
themselves, and elected two Republicans.
The international believes the Democrats have
been taught lesson and never again will they allow
party dissension to elect Republican Board of Su-
pervisors
Democracy this year presents very strong tick
ct for the Board OF Supervisors-Dave Wilkey Dis
trict No. 1, Victor Wager, District No. 2, and Bob
Campbell, District No. 3. These three are gentlemen
who, when elected, will not play politics. They will
not do as the present Board has done-HAND OUT
PATRONAGE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER BE-
CAUSE THAT BIDDER is A REPUBLICAN, They
|i give everybody, irrespective of political affilia-
county government.
If the Democrats of this county allow Repub-
ican board to again be elected on November 9Th, it
will practically sound the death nell of the Demo
cratic party in this county. MR.. AND MRS. DEMO
GRAFT, IT is UP TO YOU ON NOVEMBER 9TH.
