The premier mentioned the
treaties his country has negotiated
with several South American re-
publics, and the presence in Amer
lean universities of Spanish pro-
fessorS as well as improved trade
as evidences of the closer relations
between Spain and the countries OF

IF the tension between Bolivia
and Paraguay disappears by peace

it will mean a great advance to the
latter's prestige and enormous prog
ress on the road to universal peace, -
De Rivera said.
Spain has placed over any other
aim the doctrine of peace and JUS
tice among peoples and co-operated
in as many undertakings as were
initiated for the prosecution of hui
manitarian, progressive and Gull
tural ends" De Rivera said.

REMY REFUSES
DEPUTY POST
Former Prosecutor Not to
Serve Juvenile Court.

William H. Remy, former county
prosecutor, today declined the posi-
ton of juvenile court deputy to
which he was appointed last week
by Prosecutor Judson L. Stark.
Remy turned down the job without
making any attempt to act officially
in the court.
Stark said he had not decided on
Remy'S successor to the post.
Appointment of Remy caused a
furore in courthouse political circles
because John F. Engelke has been
acting as an investigator and dep
uty prosecutor for eleven years.
Engelke returned to the court this
morning after mis- reappointment by
Lair.
After Engelke had acted in three
cases this morning, Remy conferred
with Lahr and told him he would
make no attempt to fill the post.
Reny told Lahr he would be too
busy with private practice to act as

DAWES PLANTS

Chief REPORTS
Gain in Germany's Ability
to Pay Preparations
Seen.

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE generally
optimistic tone of S. Parker Gill;
5ert's report on the fourth year OF
the Dawes plan is expected to bring
only gloom to the German govern
ment.
General improvement of Ger
many'S economic condition, includ-
ing a stronger currency, is evident
from the report.
This is in direct contradiction.
however, to the impression the gov
eminent and press have been at
tempting to create the last few
weeks, when it became almost GER
tain that a committee of experts
would meet to determine Ger
manys ability to pay PREPARATIONS.
Gilbert's report as an official doc
ument by the agent-general of rep
arations. is certain to influence the
committee of experts when it meets
in Paris next month.
The 170-page document covers the
fourth year of the Dawes plan, and
reviews the plans and achievements
of the Dawes committee since its
inception in September, 1924. The
fifth Dawes plan -ear, beginning
last September, marked the end of
a four-year transition period dur
ing which German reparations we're
graduated to a so-calIed normal of
2,500,000,000 gold marks (about $685.
100000 in annual payments which
now are being made.
After announcing the continued
successful operation of the Dawes
plan, the report states that Ger
many Loyalty and punctu, lily met its
reparations obligations. One of the
important developments of the re-
port was the observation of the in
crease of foreign currency in Ger
many's payments, which, during the
first year of the plan, comprised
only 30.37 per cent of the total pay
ments, compared with 54.23 per cent
the last year

Worthless Alley Kid II,
Hailed as Budding
Artistic Genius.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The con-
~ version of worthless alley
kid into a budding genius amazed
art critics today as they surveyed
the paintings of 11-year-old
Dominic Randazzo.
Dominic is a prodigy of Hull
house, Jane Adams famous
social welfare center on the edge
Of the Chicago ghetto.
Twelve months ago he was
classed by his teachers as Sub
normal" a year behind in school,
lazy, Sulky and wizened.
His mother was dead and he
lived with his father, two broth
ers, a sister and sister n-law
in two rooms of dark tenement
building On the west side.
One day he wandered into the
art school at Hull House and
watched a group of boys and girls
no older than himself painting
white ships on blue water. The
sight entranced him and ne asked
if he could play with the paints
like the other kids"
Hull House instructors soon dis
covered Dominic's aptitude with
colors and clay. His lazinef and
sulkiness disappeared. His wized
face frightened up. Dominic was
on the way to finding himself.
When he took the profits home
after a lady from the Gold Coast
had bought one of his first paint
ings, Dominic's father accused
him of stealing the money.
Critics predict now that Dom
inic, the worthless alley kid"
will make much more money.
They see in his early work the
beginnings of a real artist.
