INDIA WOMAN MAYOR
| ASKS CHIvALRY CODE
Romantic Attentions Less to Be De.
sired Than Equal Responsibility
With Men, She Declares.

Advocating modern code of chiyalry
between the sexes, Mime. SaroiinI
Naidu, first woman mayor in India, told
members Of the National Woman's
Party, meeting yesterday afternoon at
party headquarters, that romantic and
traditional attentions are less to be
desired by the woman of today than
the privilege of sharing equally the
responsibilities of home and Office.
THE highest act of chivalry a man
Is capable Of" Nine. Naidu declared
rs to consider woman his comrade
sharing responsibilities equally. A
woman who accepts privileges and pro-
lection from hardships necessarily must
pass down weakness to her children"

a growing feeling of admiration for the
character of the Americans, as depicted
in films and demonstrated in business.
Local American residents have, almost
at command, adopted a very tactful and
yet direct method of dealing with the
Argentine, which has had its harvest in
growing respect and confidence.
I'VE rather smile at the efforts of
red-hot newspaper men who try to per-
suade us that Uncle Sam is ravenous
wolf with greedy eyes on all America.
We even are beginning to think that
what has been done by Uncle Sam has
been, mainly, for the good of the con-
tlnent as a whole.
This is why you probably will be
surprised at the warmth of the reception
which is being accorded you. Argen-
tina Is paying your country the sincerest
form of INSTRUMENTATION We are
hoping to flash into the powers of the
world as did the United States.
Some day, mayhap, the world will
wake up to a realization that South
America in general, and Argentina in
particular, can no longer be considered
as secondary in power, in culture or in
character!"

Striking increase in popular interest in
| Chinese studies" said Mr.. Graves.
1.-THE immensely of China's contribu-
ton to the humanistic and social
science Is only now receiving belated
recognition. The Chinese penchant is
toward history, topography, philosophy
poetry and commentary on the classics
All are saturated by serenity and a
height of tone which might well be
emulated by more sophisticated litera-
lures.
I'm none of the worlds civilizations
has knowledge for It's own sake played
SO prominent q part over SO long a
time as in that of China. We cannot
disregard the lessons learned by a Wig
orous and intelligent people, numbering
one-fourth of the population of the
globe, through 5000 years of continued
and varied culture"

with admirable frankness. The anony-
nous author, describing himself as IAN
Argentine born and bred, patriotic and
proud of my nationality" wrote, among
other things:
What is the attitude of the Argen-
time toward Uncle Sam? I feel that I
am treading on dangerous ground, but
presumably you want to know, else why
have you travelled all these miles?
Argentina is boy-man among ma
tons, with all the feelings of boy
man.
There is an idea locally that the
Monroe Doctrine constitutes an inclina-
ton toward the exercise of some system
OF control or suzerainty. The thinking
Argentine cannot but admit that the
doctrine carried South America safely
through a very dangerous period of its
existence. He cannot but feel a sense
OF gratitude. But there are others who
have that chip on their shoulders. Also,
some journalists have been trying to
cause the impression that Yankee dol
lars are followed by Yankee guns. You
and know that this is all wrong, but ii
may take some years to persuade the
man in the street regarding the error.

OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS
OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD

BY the Associated Press.
Two eminent Americans, Elihu Root
and Hugh S. Gibson, are crossing the
Atlantic in opposite directions on mis-
sions connected with great world
projects. In Paris the second Dawes
committee, bearing in its title tribute
to the Vice President of this country. is
about to enter upon tile vital part OF its
attempt to solve the German repara-
tons puzzle and is working under the
Craftsmanship of Owen D. Young.
Mr.. Gibson, who was United States
delegate to the three-power naval dis
armament conference heio at Geneva
in 1927, is en- route to Washington from
his post as Ambassador to Belgium. He
will discuss the preparatory general dis
armament conference which the League
OF Nations has summoned for April Is.
Interest in this coming event has,
however, been overshadowed recently
by unofficial exchanges dealing strictly
with naval problems and involving this
country, Great Britain and Japan.
The passage of the American Is
cruisers bill has been followed by word
that Great Britain is preparing to take
up the whole naval question on new
grounds having found the ship for
ship and ton for tom basis unavoidable.
Japan is willing to consider early re-
vision of the 1921 pact and Washing
ton said this Government would call a
conference before 1881 If other powers
requested such action.
Mr.. Root is headed for Europe to lend
his ability to survey of the first seven
years of the Permanent Court of Inter-
national Justice, which he helped to
found. Out of this survey may come an
understanding that will permit Europe
to accept reservations under which the
United States Is willing to adhere to the

of operating, places from which they
have operated, the partners they have

These exchanges would be carried on by
cable messages and by mail, and the
cooperation would comprise detective
work and investigation.

Will Rogers
Says:

NEW YORK.-There has been
quite an argument over who's budget
will pay for the new cruisers just
voted. Coolidge mas offered to split
the cost $3.50. He will pay for the
blueprints If Hoover will pay for the
cruisers.
Greece owed us $17,850,000 on a
war debt. So Saturday Congress
passed a bill to loan 'em $12,l50, 900,
so it would make it an even 80 mil
lion. We don't like to be bothered
with being owed small, uneven sums.
Truth comes out mighty slow.
Florida wants the Federal Govern
ment to pay all the expenses of
putting wind break around Lake
Okeechobee, SO the water won't all
blow out. Religion didn't drive that
