In 1908 the model at" appeared
and with it the first real standard
ization was reached. With that
point attained, the unparalleled pro-
duction growth of the Ford Motor
Company began.
Counting from the first car,
Henry Ford made, it required 30
years to produce the first five mil
lion Ford cars. But the second five
million cars were built in three
years, May, 1921-June 4, 1924, when
the ten millionth Ford car chugeed
briskly out of the shop to join its
9,999,999 forerunners. Just 381

RIGA IN
OPPOSITION TO
DISCRIMINATION
Demand Interpretation
of Monroe Doctrine

GENEVA, Aug. 16 (UP).-A
delicate problem, affecting the
United States and Latin-America,
has ben placed before the League
of Nations by Costa Rica.
The Central American Republic,
in rejecting an invitation to rejoin
the league, from which it resigned
a few years ago, asked the league
for an Interpretation of the Monroe
Doctrine.
Costa Rica, in her message to the
league, characterized the Monroe
Doctrine as purely one-sided dec
laration by the United States, not
binding on the Latin-American ma
tions. Before joining the league,
she desires precise Interpretation
Of the doctrine, especially as it af-
fects the position of Latin-Ameri-
can countries in the league.
Costa Rica's pronouncement, com
ing so soon after Argentina's sim
liar declaration to the league last
March, was regarded here as show
ing the increasing solidarity of the
Latin-American republics, as we'll as
the increasing tendency of Argen-
tina to assume the leadership of
the southern nations, in place of the
United States.
1t is certain that the league will
rot venture an Interpretation of the
Monroe Doctrine without the full
agreement of the United States.

FIGHTING CROWS

Demand Autonomy; "a
Arrested

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug 16.
Opposition against the ratifica-
ton of the Nettuno Pact that gives
the Italian government special prop
edty rights in Dalmatia, which is
on the Adriatic facing Italy, coupled
with the movement against the Bel
grade regime oppression, has led
to monster demonstration in
Spalato, Dalmatian city. Five
thousand students and workers
paraded through the street in spite
of the attempt of the police and
military to break the demonstra-
ton.
When the demonstrators, bearing
slogans that denounced the Nettuno
Pact with the fascist government
and calling for autonomy, were or
dered to dispense by the police they
continued on their march The
military was called out and in the
effort to break up the parade fight
ing between the soldiers and the
demonstrators continued until
o'clock in the morning. Eighty ar
rests were reported and the casual
ties are not known
The Nettuno Pact, which was
passed by the Belgrade parliament
when the opposition was absent,
and which is declared by the autono-
mists to be void, has aroused great
opposition in Croatia, Slovenia and
Dalmatia, provinces that had been
Incorporated under the Jugoslav
kingdom against the will of the in
habitants. The special rights
given the fascists in Dalmatia, it is
charged, would abrogate the rights
Of local peasants and increase the
oppression that they have suffered
at the hands of Belgrade.
