CARIBBEAN POLICY
Michigan Professor Advo.
Gates Treaties Guarantee
ing Stable Country.
BY the Associated Press.


WILLIAMSBURG. Mass, August rs.
Prof. Jesse Reeves of the University
of Michigan yesterday urged that the
United States adopt definite treaty
arrangement with all Caribbean coun-
tries except Mexico, whereby she would
guarantee to each republican form of
government and maintain control Of
the country to insure stability of the
government.
Prof Reeves, a member of the board
of advisors of the institute of politics,
and for many years student of Latin
American relations, outlined his pro-
posal for the Latin American treaties
in statement here.
"U. S. Must Make Up Mind"
1.-THE United States must make up
her mind whether to place her relation
ship with countries of the Caribbean on
a coldly legal basis, or whether she will
make arrangements In treaty form COW
ering what actually exists in her
policy" said Prof. Reeves who was the
United States representative of the in
ternational commission of jurists to
codify international law at Rio de
Janeiro in 1927" I except Mexico be-
cause I believe. due to her size, she
never would accede to such an arrange
menu.
"A policy like this is needed, not be-
cause of business reasons but because
the constant trouble and friction in
that area has become nuisance and I
believe 1t is the duty of the United
States as a stronger power to secure
the maintenance of order there for her
own benefit and that Of the world at
large"
Session to End Thursday.
Active objection to such policy
could be expected from other nations
of the world. which would claim that
the arrangements had been made under
duress and for the advantage Of the
United States. Prof. Reeves stated.
Discussing further foreign policies of
the United States. Prof. Reeves declared
the possibility of her joining the League
Of Nations grows less with the passage
OF time and is now more remote than
1t was 10 years ago.
The institute of politics will end its
one months session next Thursday.

ALASKA TRAPPERS
 SHOULD SHIP THEIR
 FURS TO NEW YORK

Trappers who want to make more money on furs than they ever made before, trappers who want higher prices than they ever received before, should ship heir furs this season to George I.
 Fox Corporation in New York. The George L Fox Corporation, 26S West 30th St.. New York, is the largest receivers of raw furs In the East.
 They do business in way that guarantees bigger returns to the Lrapper.
 Tn the first place, they pay the highest possible market prices. Then on top of that, on ship ments amounting to $50 or over,
 they pay an EXTRA 5%o.
 If, for example, your belts are
 worth $200, you would receive $210.
 They charge no commission,
 make no deductions for handling, and pay all shipping charges. You get EVERY PENNY. that's conn ing to you.
 And you don't wait a day for your money-it's TELEGRAPH
 ED to you the same day your furs are received.
 The George l. Fox Corporation
 has been buying and selling furs for over 20 years and every year
 more and more trappers are ship ping to them because they pay
 MORE money. Trappers who formerly shipped to dealers and auction houses say that they make hundreds of dollars extra since they switched to Fox. Send trial shipment to the George |. Fox Corporation, 26S West 30th St, New York. You
 have nothing to lose and every
 thing to gain for. if you aren't satisfied with their quotation,
 they'll return your furs at once and pay shipping charges BOTH ways. Or wire them collect what you have and they'll wire their best offer.
 The George I. Fox Corpora tion has a quarter of million dollars invested in the business and refers trappers to any bank
 or commercial agency. adv.
