to embark on the survey the First Inter-American Highway congress has been held Tn Panama. The con- gress decided that there was no physical obstacle in the way of a program which would open such a highway for public travel within five years The Pan-American Union was asked to create an international commission to study problems of To- ca:ion, construction, maintenance and financing.
 It was decided that each of the countries through whcih the road will run-Mexico, Guatemala, Salva- dor, Honduras Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama-should fix the route through it's territory with a view to the best social and economic development such as the road is in tended to promote These countries and the United States were called upon to assist the commission with transportation, informa- ton or other means.
 The arguments on behalf of the
 
 social intercourse and better inter- national understanding among the several nations, greatly lessen the cost of both domestic and national sportation and improve the economic condition of the territory traversed.
 Construction would he carried out progressively That is. roads would be "roughed through" to permit motor transportation and further improvement would be underta ken as traffic began to move through.
 No building would be required on the part of this country. The north ern end of the highway would end at~Laredo, Tex. We have plenty of hard roads in this country to connect

 Mexico some time ago approved the route of a highway running from Laredo to Mexico City and from Mexico, link in the inter- American highway which would cover almost half the distance from Laredo to the canal. Construction the Mexican roads program and large stretches of improved road are now maintained north of Mexico City.
 All the Central American coun- tries are concentrating on highways as a general program, keeping in mind their part in the future inter- American road. Salvador is carry ing out a program including a link from the Guatemalan frontier to the Honduran border Honduras ex- poets soon 10 start work on a Pacific coastal highway connecting Salvador with Nicaragua. Guatemala, Nicar- agua and Costa Rica are all develop- ing highways and Panama has built with the great outlet to the north in mind.
 One of the aims envisioned is a highway system which eventually will connect the capitals Of all the Latin American republics.
 President Hoover is especially en- thnsiastic over the plan and has en- dorsed the proposal to lend Ameri- can engineers from the navy and the department of agriculture to aid the smaller republics in their con- struction problems. He has also recommended to the favor of private interests ''all reasonable loans sought by these countries to open main lines of travel"

A. NJ. Tarr, President, and W.Lyle
Molds, and Norvall Pepper, mem
bers of the local committee are
completing the arrangements for
the show. They are expecting a
large number of entries and con-
siderable interest in the judging
contests. G. L. Cchuster, Secre-
tary says that due to the adverse
growing season corn did not de-
velop and mature as well as usual
and that many farmers are saying
that they do not have any corn to
exhibit this year This is one of
the times when more attention
should be given to seed corn and
the show is one of the best places
to bring out the best Delaware has
for seed. The corn crop of Della
ware was worth nearly four mil
lion dollars in 1929 and the wheat
crop two and a quarter million.
These two crops represent so
much value to the farmers that
some attention should be given to
the seed. The show offers a med
ium for the exchange of ideas as
to good seed and help locate good
seed. Bring or send your exhibit
and thus help yourself and your
neighbor. Premium lists are now
available and may be obtained
from your County Agent or the
Secretary at Newark.

JUDGE CLARK'S DECISION
PLEASES PIERRE S. DUPONT
THINKS HIS OPINION ON 18TH
AMENDMENT, SOUND LOGIC
VIII Have No Effect on Enforce
ment in Delaware District At
torney Wales Asserts

Asked concerning the ruling of
Federal Judge Clark, of Newark,
N. J., who held that the adoption
of the Eighteenth Amendment to
the Constitution was invalid,
Pierre S. DUPONT, chairman of the
executive committee of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment, said he was pleased
to hear of the decision. 81 am very
much pleased to hear of Federal
Judge Clark's decision and I am
sure that it is sound" said Mr.. du-
Pont. The opinion of Judge Clark
was based on his belief that the
adoption of the amendment is in
valid, as only by constitutional
conventions and not by State Leg
islatures can such amendments,
which transfer to the United
States powers heretofore reserved
to the State, be ratified. The
Eighteenth Amendment was rati-
fed by the Delaware Legislature
at q SDCCldl SCoo1O11 Ocl4CO III
March of 1918. The House ap-
proved the amendment on March
13, of that year by vote of 27. to
6. The Senate concurred on March
18, by vote of 13 to 8. Federal
prohibition enforcement in Dela-
ware will be curtailed, at least
temporarily, if the U. S. Circuit
Court in Philadelphia, sustains
Judge Clark. This was the opin-
ion expressed by U. S. District At
torney Leonard E. Wales. No
doubt, he added, but that the mat
ter will be speedily taken to the
higher courts because of the great
Importance of the subject but un-
til the Circuit Court rules on the
question, he said, Judge Clark's
opinion in no way effects Della
ware. Delaware, Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey are under
the u. S. Circuit Court in Phila-
delphia and the district courts in
those states are affected by rul-
ings of the higher court. 81 have
been expecting an opinion on the
matter of the adoption of the
amendment for some time" said
District Attorney Wales. TT is a
very important question and will
be settled as soon as possible in
the Supreme Court" While Mr..
Wales would not comment directly
on Judge Clark's opinion, he did
admit that constitutional conven-
tions are composed of men of bet
ter ability than the average State
legislature. For instance" he
pointed out" our Constitutional
convention was composed of the
flower of Delaware citizenry with
such men as the late Judge Brad
ford"
