Who gave the U. S. the sole right
to exploit Central and South Amer

Mass Production
Cheats Children

WASHINGTON, July % (FP.)-
When huge industrial plants are
built, for the sake of modern mass
production, children as we'll as adults
are cheated of easy access to play
ground, says report on county and
municipal park systems which ap-
pears in the July issue of the Month
ly Labor Review of the U. S. Bur-
eau of Labor Statistics. Too many
people have been drawn into small
areas, in order that they may work
in the big plants. Cities and coun-
ties, assisted in some cases by en-
ployers, have in general recognized
the danger in this crowding, and
have bought large tracts for park
purposes. But they have not caught
up with the need. Children are VIC
tins of the mass-production factory
even when they never enter its gates.

is that the Fourth of July, 1776, is

Hungarian government has also de-

The Hungarian government has

Paris is the hope and expectation OF

long has worked for world peace.
II am of the opinion that the treaty
will be ratified by the Senate at the
next session of Congress" he said. Il
regard the signing of the multilateral
treaty. or the treaty to outlaw war, as
prefer TO call it. by the Is nations and
the action of the other nations since
as the most important step in the cause
of peace that ever has been taken.
1T is. in sense, an embodiment or
a crystallization of profound convic-
ton of the people everywhere and in
all countries that war should no longer
be accepted as an instrument for the
settlement of international disputes.
Calls Treaty Binding.

does not amount to much, because
there is no force behind 1t. l regard
this treaty as Just as binding as any

treaty is great triumph in the cause

Reservation Question.
Some other Senators now in Wash
ington are at loss TO understand how
letters of Interpretation of the pact
such as those that have been written to
the American Secretary of State can
be regarded as reservations TO the
treaty itself. These interpretations were
not embodied in the instrument before
it was signed by the nations and Sena-
tors take the view that these govern
ments are bound by what they signed
since. in their Judgment. the language
of the treaty is specific and plain.
Unless some statement on this
phase of the subject has been made be-
fore the next session of Congress. it is
likely that the foreign relations COM
mittee will make a formal inquiry of the
State Department before recommending
favorable action by the Senate"

Comdr. George M Dyott has an even

he reports befell the expedition of Col
P H. Fawcett, British explorer, In
search of whom he penetrated the
jungles of Matto Crosse Brazil

Indians, the most savage in Brazil
through whose habitat they must pass,
and treacherous rapids seemingly with
out number, constitute the great menace
TO Dyott's party of five white men and
to the Brazilian Indian guides who may
still be with them.
The hopes of Comdr. Dyott, who In a
laSt-minute radio message reported his
expedition fleeing down the xingu
River after averting clash with hostile
Indians only by strategy rest chiefly
upon his collapsibly canvas canoes in
Mr.. LegterS opinion.
If Dyott succeeds in passing through
the country of the Xingu River head
waters, he will Be the first white man
who did. to my knowledge" said the
missionary scout. The Xingu River has
more rapids than all its many tribu-
taries combined.

IF Dyott were depending on the bark
canoes the Indians make and which
we used on the smaller rivers in my
trips into the interior. / would call his
attempt a physical impossibility No
bark canoes could live through the ex-

they are carried out of the water they

From one of my seven Indian guides
who spoke little Portuguese learned
that down the Xingu a short distance
is the hostile Tsuyas tribe. They are
the enemies of all other Indians. This
tribe is noted for It's ability to kill its
enemies while passing down the river.
The men have unusual skill as swim
mers and divers. 1t Is said that when
canoes try to pass the village these
Indians dive into the river, come up
under the canoes. overturn them and
kill the occupants while struggling in
the water.

plays, has a fence" in a dame,
who wears old-fashioned glasses
and looks very respectful while
carrying on her alleged dressmaking

crooks and yet who can not see
that they are crooks Just how the
movie directors can become 50 I'M

that the younger generation in the

such characters. But it is this
