INVESTMENTS AND PEACE

Treaties are recorded in an- cient and modern history; so are alliances; so is war.
 Treaties are recorded in the Old Testament: on the monuments Of Esypt and Assyria Historians of Greek and Roman history utilize much space in telling about treaties.
 Despite solemn pledges. however, one finds almost as many violations of treaties as there are treaties, This may be d sad commentary upon human nature and nationalism.
 But history tells a different story in connection with commercial al dances. Financial and commercial inter-dependence has done more for the maintenance of peace between nations than agreements, alliances, treaties or truce.
 under the terms of a commercial and financial alliance, imposed upon heavy investments made by the na- tionals of one or the other sigma tories. or both. ii is 10 the decided advantage of the creditor to remain on friendly terms with the debtor; or in any event. the creditor is not eager to provoke or antagonize those who owe him money.
 Betore ,he War France had bill lions invested in Russia, This led to community of interest that easily paved the way for what followed.
 r. prior 10 1914. Frances billions had been invested 10 d considerable extent in Germany, and a consider able part of Germany's foreign in rcstmeuts had been made in France, il is doubtful whether their states men or politicians would have been rager to Ieopardize these billions with d recourse 10 war.
 Foreign loans. therefore. attord not only commercial gains but pro- vide political adN antages.

WINE CARDS OMITTED
 IN WET LINER PLANS
United states Lines Manager Asserts Liquor Sales Will Be UnOsten-
 tatiOuS as PO ib!e

New York, April 13 R-Wine cards on dining tables and public bars will be taboo aboard ships of the United States Lines, Inc. new owners of the Leviathan and 10 other American boats.
 This was made clear by Joseph iI. Sheedy. general manager, who put the liquorfor- sale policy aboard the ships into effect. The sale of alco- holic beverages will be carried out in as unostentatious a manner IS possible
 A schedule of prices will not he esta blished, he said. until an avec- age can be found but it will conl- pare favorably with that of compet- itors.
 Opposition to the view that sale of liquor aboard ships is necessary in order to operate at a profit was voiced today by Captain Robert Dol lar, head of the Dollar Shipping Line, operators of round -the-wor!d cruises
 He said the success of his ships operating under dry policy was sufficient evidence that dry ships could be profitable ships.

TOWN TURNED OUT
 ID GREET SWEDES
First Arrivals Aroused Curiosity Among Earlier Settlers Here

Residents 0, this city who lived here about 5o years ago when the only nationalitles were those of American stock, CT of German or Irish extraction, recall with interes. the arrival of the other racial groups.
 In the sos the Swedish natives arrived. This was an unusual occa- sion and when the news spread that there were Swedish people in the city the entire town turned out to see them.
 From the start they made an i'm pression because Of the attractive ness of the women and the strength of the men. They were dressed in the costumes Of their native country and in some cases wooden shoes were seen.
 They had white teeth, light com pleXion, blond hai and blue eyes. It was unusual in tfose days to see that type Of beauty.
 Almost from the start they showed a tendency to stay by themselves and soon Swedish families formed colon ies in the eastern section where their descendants are now located to a great extent.
 They were deeply religious and within a few years after the pioneers had settled here the First Lutheran church was organized. Two other Swedish churches have been formed since then and the city bosts of d large Swedish population.
 The largest racial group now is the Polish. At about the time the Swed- ish people arrived the Polish immi- grants made their way to this city. At first there were only a few. Tn fact when Thomas J. Ostroski who died this week, arrived 51 years ago his family were the only Polish i'm migrants in this city. Later the Ira ceski family arrived and then large groups came at once.
 While the Swedish people were To- eating in the eastern section the Poles were building a colony in the north. They took prominent part in making New Britain what it is to- day.
