WASHINGTON-A attempt is 60
ing to be made in congress to limit
this governments present policy of
protecting American lives and prop
erty abroad to the protection Of
American lives.
Believing that the "Iives and prop
erty" plank often becomes too elastic
when put into operation, some MEM
berS OF both houses hope that a
congressional declaration may be
made which will more clearly define
"a standard of policy on which action
may be based when given situations
arise.
1t has been complained sometimes
in the past that the lines OF our
foreign policy were somewhat nebu-
lous.
The ADMINISTRATORS failure to show
that either American lives OF prop
erty had been menaced in Nicaragua,
for instance, served TO encourage
criticism OF our course in thai
country.
The spearpcint of this movement
to clear the all is resolution intro
duced in the senate by Senator
Gerald P. Nye, OF North Dakota.
Congressman Beck, of Wisconsin, will
sponsor it in the house. Both men
are assured OF capable help in debate.
Under this resolution, congress
would affirm that:
1t shall never be the policy of the

United States to guarantee nor pro-
tect by force the investments and
properties CT its citizens in foreign
lands
We will pursue the same policy,
in theory and practices IN interna-
tional controversies when dealing with
small, weak nations that we recognize
and follow in dealing with first class
powers.
When American citizens invest
funds abroad they shals become, as
concerns the investments, to all in
tents and purposes citizens of the
nation where they make the invest
ment, entitled and subject to the
protection and provisions of its laws.
They shall have the right Of appeal
tc their own government, which will
assist them with its good offices and
cooperation for amicable adjustment,
but will not threaten or send soldiers,
sailors Or marines in order to achieve
a settlement.
If the resolution, now before the
senate foreign relations committee
and about tC come before the cor
responding house committee, should
be passed. the president would be
asked to publicly proclaim "this doc
trine' of self-determination.'
The resolution has the strong en-
dorsement OF the national bureau
of information and education ana
friends on both committees who hope
to bring it out on the floor. The
bureau, with headquarters in New
York, will furnish much of the am

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES :. MONTAGUE
SIMPLY TERRIBLE

O1MEL1 i 16fGfb1DAG
How evil and base are the powers OF
Rum
What wicked and desperate band!
How expert the wretches have lately
become
In evading the Law OF the Land!
Not content with dispensing their ter
rlble brew
Which they do, with comparative
ease,
The rascals. if lately heard rumors
are true,
Are corrupting our cocoanut trees!
They cut little holes in the cocoanut
tops
With dagger, knife, OF a dirk;
Insert small portion of sugar or
hops
And the trees do the rest of the
work
The nuts become portly, and fall to
the ground,
The milk is consumed in due course
And shortly the tidings go running
around
That it harbors a kick like a horse!
They first cleaned the barley and corn
from the field
These men without conscience or
soul
And by base distillation they forced it
to yield
A power they could not control.
They next took the raisin, an innocent
sweet
And harmless, partaken if raw,
And taught frail people to make it
defeat
The force of a national law.
And now with no conscience, no heart
and no qualmS
But winking a hideouS wink
They swarm to the tops of the cocoa
nut palms,
! To brew their destructive strong
drink
And the noble old trees, where the
birds sing all day
Through whose branches the warm
4ephyrs sough
Have yielded at last to the bootleggers'
sway
They are nothing but speakeasieS
now!

The Man We've Made

The Man We've Made
When we've come to the enG of the
life we've lived,
And we think OF the race we've run,
We can look to the brow of the
western hill
To the rim OF lifes setting sun
And know that we've lived, and the
space of time
From birth till the battles won,
Was filled to the brim and this
world OF ours
Has smiled on the job we've done
When we look to the time when we
chose the row
We have hoed through the length
ening year,
And we think of the lifelong task
we've had,
With its, smile, and it's flowing tear
We can know that we've played, to
its earthly end,
Have conquered its binding fear,
And the life that we have is a
pleasure still
We are glad to have fingered here.
When we come to the end of our
little day,
When we've climbed up the last
long grade,
We are proud OF the work we have
had to do,
We are glad we were not afraid
And the set Of the soul, as the set
OF the sun,
When the shadows Of night are laid,
Taxes pride in the day that is closed
and done
We are proud OF the man we've
made.

FOR 70 YEARS
Secretary Wilbur DisclOses
To Congress Navy's
Ambitious Plan
REPLACE SHIP s.
Annual Expenditure Would
Be About $168,OOO,OOO
Per Year

WASHINGTON Jan. IL R-Navy
| department plans for a 20-year war
ship construction program at an ul-
innate cost of approximately $3,000,-
! 100000 were disclosed today by Sec
retary Wilbur before the house naval
committee
| He said he was not prepared to give
out details but that the annual ex-
penditure would be about $168,000
600. He added that the administra-
tion's recently announced $725,O00,0OO
program for 25 cruisers and As other
fighting craft was "a part of the more
comprehensive plan which includes
the replacement of battleships as soon
as is permissible, under the terms of
the Washingto ntreaty.
The secretary said it was the navy's
hope to complete the cruisers and
other auxiliary craft before 1886 and
then begin the replacement of capital
ships
Questioned by Representative Vim
son of Georgia, senior democrat on
the committee, Mr.. Wilbur said that
war craft, which the navy already
has asked congress to authorize, would
be necessary to provide a first class
sea force, adding that he had testi-
fled yesterday that the need for ad-
ditional cruisers was imperative.
Chairman Butler. asked the secre-
tary upon his next appearance be-
fore the committee to describe what
first class navy is, and added, "you
have made statement here that will
shock the country when you say that
the United States has not a first
class navy /,
Representative Britten of Illinois,
senior republican committee member,
questioned the secretary closely as to
why the navy department, in submit
ting the $725, 100000 program, had not
requested congress to provide for its
completior within a specified time.
He declared that for one he did not
wish only paper fleet"
Wilbur replied that the navy also
was anxious for the actual ships and
that no completion date had been in
cluded as requests for the money had
to be submitted through the budget
and that finishing the program would
depend on congress providing the
money.
"There is no joker" he added. "If
any joker gets in, it will be in con-
gress."

SING SING PRISON, OSSINING,
N. Y. Jan. II tP-Mrs. Ruth Snyder
heard tonight from her lawyers that
all their efforts to save her from death
in the electric chair had failed. At 8
o'clock they came to the death house
to tell her goodbye. More than an
hour later they left her to report that
the condemned woman was Sobbing in
her cell, but in as good mental condi-
ton as could be expected under the
circumstances"
The lawyers, serious of face as they
told of their goodbye to the client for
whose life they had fought in vain in
all available courts, declared that they
we're at the end of the resources.
"She must die, there is nothing more
we can do,' said Dana Wallace, as
Judge Edgar F.. Hazleton, his partner,
told of the last conversation her coun-
sci would have with Mrs. Snyder.
Two hours before the execution of
the woman and Judd Gray, convicted
with her, would be held, crowd was
assembled as near the prison as guards
would permit, only those with ample
credentials, of which there were only
few, could enter the barred walls of

her when Hazleton and Wallace left

''The American commander mas re-

order priests not to celebrate mar
riages between Nicaraguan girls and
members of the American marine de-

Moreover, the American marines

Summon Democracy
To Principles OF
jackson al Dinner

WASHINGTON Jan. IL [P)-A
ringing summons to democracy to
return to the principles of Jefferson
and Jackson was issued here tonight
to Claude G. Bowers, of the New
York World, in the keynote address
at the Jackson day dinner arranged
by the democratic national commit
tee.
Speaking to leaders of the party
from all sections of the country,
Bowers, who is the author of several
books on The lives and times OF
the founders of the democratic party
declared The preservation OF popular
government and the Subordination OF
money to men" was just as much
an issue now as it was when Jackson
rallied the. people and won to the
presidency a century ago.
Assailing the Harding adninistra-
ton on the ground of corruption
in high places and the Coolidge adj
ministration for what was termed aid
to monopoly, Bowers said that the
democratic party stood today where
Jackson and Jefferson always stood,
"for equal rights to all and special
privilege to none" the party had its
issue for the coming presidential
campaign.
eff it stands today where they
stood against monopoly and auto
cracy, there is your ISSUE" he added.
eff it stands where these men placed
it for the rule OF the majority and
the greatest good to the greatest
number, there is your issue.
eff it believes as these men believed
that the debauchers OF the ballot and
hucksters in high places selling the
nations birthright to line their pock-
cts belong to the penitentiary and
nowhere else, there is your issue.
eff it believes with them in de-
mocracy as against an oligarchy OF
the plutocracy there-there is an
issue that will mobilize. the people
and make them march with waving
banners and the will to victory in
their hearts.
"Six years ago the American people
turned away from Monticello and the
hermitage of worship for while at
the shrine of the best minds in the
little dove cote of the little green
house on K street. That is the
beginning OF the most putrid period
of official dereiiction and corruption
that the nation has ever known.
1--WE saw the nations Oil reserves
bartered away for song and a bribe,
and, such has been the sagging OF
official moral standards that we saw
men high in the state entrusted by
the people with the protection of the
peoples property and the peoples
honor, stand aside as Indifferent
spectators of the looting, until the
party of Jackson, under the brilliant
leadership OF the senator from Mon
tana CThomas j. Walsh) exposed
the infamy and forced the restitu-
tion of the nations stolen goods.

collapse that when, after the ex-

people, we had the humiliation to
see it accepted with an expression
