Monroe Doctrine Is
 Placed Before the
 League of Nations

GENEVA, Aug. 15.-A Central
 American Republic, Costa Rica wants the League of Nations to interpret the Monroe Doctrine be- fore deciding whether to accept or
 reject the invitation of the League to resume membership. Costa Rica incorporated the re-
 quest in an official communication to the Council of the League of Nations.
 The action caused a sensation
 among the cognizant of the let ter.
 It is understood that the Council
 of the League of Nations will prob-
 ably avoid making an interpreta- tion of the Monroe Doctrine on the
 belief it has no authority to go into the question and simply a re-
 ply to the communication will be made. It is not deemed among members of the League Assembly
 that 6 discussion of the Monroe Doctrine is deemed a possibility.

When Governor Smith proposed a tariff commission

ward socialism, stating that the American people

posed TO emulate it in respect TO farm relief. In an

come forth with the proposal 70 create a farm board

However, Mr.. Hoover's belated effort 10 align the

been promised relief. and the republicans have failed
10 extend IL. The party went 70 the extent Of including
in their Kansas City platform an arraignment Of the
M~cNsry-HsuEen plan. though 1t had met the approval
Of every congressman and senator from the agricultural
states.
Governor Smith early in the campaign promised the
farmers that If elected he would Immediately orEanizas

problem and would be prepared to carry the fight to

caualized tariff protection. without which any form of

any eleventh hour promise such as Hoover issued

The World and All
COURTESY WHERE IT'S NEEDED

Recently IN travelling northward I had The yood
fortune to step into a diner on the Canadian National
railway when 1 was very hungry. II was an hour pa.t
breakfast time. and the diner was deserted. except for
the steward and the cook. But | had boarded the train
a. . junction, and ! certainly needed food.
80 there found a plump and jovial old fss hioned
steward, one Harry Oden Of Montreal. I congratulate
MS employers. Harry IN the kind or fellow who can
make = deserted dining car seem like the dining room
back on the farm when the fatted calf wa. killed.
Could | yet breakfast? Well, I certainly could. II
was past time, Of course, and things might not III
quite tasty, but would | mind? He'd see what he could

merry with q fine smile and good conversation.
The breakfast was fine. I don't know what n CON
sisted Of, for Harry was taking my attention off the
food by pointing out the excellent features Of his new
dining car. You would think he had made Il All with
his own hands, he was 50 proud RI the dust-proof win
dows. the perfect lighting, the radio connection and
the comfortable chairs.
Somehow. | can think 81 4 lot Of good jobs for n
fellow like Harry Oden, the steward. Almost every

in constant contact with the public, and marvel tha:

Harry we're general passenger agent Of 4 railroad that

less cause for complaint on the part Of patrons Or the
road. Anybody who takes such good-naturcd pride IN
a stewards job Is competent to handle some Of the

managed. There are employers straininE their eyes

IN their jobs and treat patrons courteously. There .s
room on the North American continent for NJ least one

Experiments conducted BY DR.. Ben d. Wood OF Co
lumbis and DIR. Frank N. Freeman Of the University or
Chicago over a period OF ten weeks with the co-opera-
tion Of the schools Of twelve cities and the practical
use Of II, 900 school children reveal an interesting con-
clusion as the efficacy Of the use Of motion pictures
in instruction. So the Literary Digest quotes a sum-
mary given By the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
School authorities selected as far as possible teach
ers and classes Of approximately the same ability, half
using the motion pictures and the others studying
without them. The two educators summarize the re-
suits as showing that where the child learns the sub
ject partly through motion pictures he will make n
50 per cent greater gain in geography and Is per cent
in science over the student unaided by visual instruc-
tion.
Partly that may he due to stimulated interest. II
il more fascinating to watch wheat made into bread
tains a clearer imprint Of the actual picture Of the
process than Of the one it has had to visualize from
the printed word. Even the difference in gains made IN
geography and in science would seem 10 support that
theory, for the one presents natural facts to which
the child mind takes readily and the other changes in
chemistry or physics or growth development not al
ways Of general appeal.
valuable outgrowth Is the possibility Of reducing the
amount Of failure in the schools. If this is achieved
BY arousing the child to real interest in the studies, II
would be Of unquestioned benefit. But IL the pictures
merely make school easier for the lazy mind, IL would
not be a permanent contribution to the cause Of edu-
cation.

The German people trust that the signing of the
pact outlawing war will not merely remain a drawing
hope but will lead to further practical efforts in de-
yeioping methods Of peaceful settlement OF interna-
tional differences. The German foreign policy has not
changed its line; Il stands for peace and justice. Every
initiative in this direction will find Germany.s sup
port. The result OF the last meeting in Geneva opens
\ hopeful outlook.
AS for the relations between Germany and the
United States, I noticed everywhere in Germany that
the political, economic and personal contact which has
developed between the two countries. has led to a
growing mutual understanding.
! found the political conditions in Germany very
satisfactory. The unrest Of the immediate postwar
period has completely disappeared and a period Of po-
litical sterilization has begun. Economically the prob
lens to face remain the same: the necessity OF increas-
ing our export and the need Of capital to keep The
economic machinery going. The general economic sit
uation is favorably influenced BY this years harvest
which j. quantitatiyely and qualitatively better than
last years On the other hand, the conditions of bus
mess have been somewhat less favorable within the
last weeks. The number Of unemployed il increasing;
against $4,000 unemployed at the beginning Of the
month Of August the number Of unemployed reached
$4,000 in the month Of September.
The trade between Germany and the United States
in the first six months Of 1928 has considerably in
creased. The imports from the United States in this
period. which amounted to 9~SS.OOo.Oo0 marks last year.
reached l.O46.0OO.OOO marks this year.
