MONROE DOCTRINE
 MAKING TROUBLE
Causes Strained Relations With
 Southern Neighbors

University, Va, August 1 s tP-The Monroe Doctrine, whose critics found new voice during recent United States interventions in Latin Ameri- ca by it's inclusion in the Leagu, of Nations covenant has created a deli cate situation between the United States and it's southern neigh bors, the institute of public affairs was told today by William Spence Rob ertson, professor of history at the University of Illinois.
 Professor Robertson recalled that at a conference of league delegates in 1928 it was argued that the pres ence of the Monroe Doctrine in the covenant encourages the United States to prevent intervention by the league in disputes between Latin American nations that send official delegations to Geneva.
 The situation persists, he said. in supite of a tendency which he term ed significant among Latin American republics to withdraw from actual participation in the league.
 At the eighth assembly of the league, Professor Robertson said. only one of the three larger Latin American states, Chile. had dele gates. Both Argentina and Brazil had practically withdrawn from the league. and there were no delegates present from Bolivia. Honduras or Peru.
 What solution remains for the sit uation, Professor Robertson said, flies in the lap of the gods. For the time being we must still con the parliament at Geneva, a Latin American state may Conceivably put an elastic element of our foreign polify to an acid test"
 A silver lining was seen in recent interpretations by the United States of the Monroe Doctrine.
 Professor Robertson pointed out that the senate in ratifying the Briand- Kellogg peace pact inter preted the Monroe Doctrine 90 as
 
 United States under the Roosevelt corollary, in the memorandum of As sistant Secretary of State Clark, h. said, the Monroe Doctrine was not used to justify such interventions as that in Nicaragua, and the doctrine was viewed as the case of the United States against Europe and not the case of the United States against Latin America.
 Professor Robertson found praise for the Monroe Doctrine as having ! exerted a restraining influence upon the foreign policies of certain Euro pean powers. Without it, he said "the world might indeed have be- . held a colony of Germans in south ern Brazil, an English common wealth dominating the might Orin- oco, and French culture blossomine in Mexico rather than in Africa"

MINERS DEF|ANTLY
 CONTINUE ATTEMPT
.HySterical Men Still Try Rescue
 Hope Is Small

Princeton. B. C., Aug. 16 UP)- Grimy, hysterical men, their faces streaked with precipitation. stag gered in and out of the shaft of the No. mine of the Coalrnont col lcries today, defying nature and man to make them abandon efforts to rescue AZ entombed comrades. | Inspectors and managers agreed there was hardly chance that any of the trapped miners would be ! found alive, but their fellows would not give up. Neither would the | families of the men who were lost.
 The men became angry when l tried to organize them into shifts" said George Murray, manager, who wrecked the mine Wednesday night.
 "They work 1 3 hours, stumble out and sleep for an hour or two, then stagger back into the poison filled tunnels to dig frantically at the great mass of rock which blocks the main shaft"
 1 Some of the rescuers have been carried out half paralyzed. Some have gone mad. But the others would not give up.
 Families of the entombed men stood in little groups about the en- trance to the shaft, hoping against 1 hope that at least some Of the men might be found alive. Three bodies 1 already had been recovered. One man out of 46, Joe Porchella es- caped alive.
 T heard a thud," Porchella told ! hospital attendants. T sensed some thing was coming and threw myself i flat on my face.
 A hurricane, it seemed, passed over me. Then crawled and crawled. as fast as I could. with dust and gravel falling all about.
 Finally in the darkness, I felt water and followed it upgrade. That was the way I knew I was on the way out" When I saw light at the mouth of the tunnel, l fell. I woke up in this bed"
 The third body. that of Harry 1 Edwards, was taken from the mine yesterday. He had been badly burned,
 It had been believed there were 4s men entombed, but officials learned that NJ. Lavley and J. Fleurant. originally reported mis- sing. had been working in another mine.
 Rescuers early today had cleared away all but about 500 feet of the shaft closed by the explosion. They were at the 1,50o-foot level. It was believed the passage could not be cleaned in less than another day.
 It was feared there might be an- ether explosion as there were indi- cations a fire was burning in the lower workings. A canary was taken down to the 18th level yes terday. where the rescuers were working. The bird died immediately from the poison gases.

NEW HAVEN PLANT
 GUTTED BY FLAMES
A Alarms for Howard Co.
 BlaZe-S20O,OO0 Loss

New Haven, Aug. 16,-tP-F'ire early today swept the Howard com pany, brick manufacturers located at Boulevard and Kimberly avenue, and destroyed two buildings with an estimated loss of s200,o0O.
 Fourteen alarms were sounded soon after the fire was discovered about midnight, sending all available apparatus to fight the biggest fire New Haven has had in year.
 Two buildings were burned One was a three story main building while the other was a storehouse of two stories in height. In the main structure were two hriCkmaking ma chimes valued at S50,000 each Of which were destroyed.
 Twenty-Five lines of hose. eight Of them being laid from West river, were played on the blaze Bremen brought the fire under control about ? o'clock and shortly after four had the fire practically out. Thousands of motorists were attracted to the SINliNf it'iull lIlE ct SIFI4dI IfLdlI u police to control them.
 An engineer on a New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad train discovered the fire as he passed by. Successive blasts on his whistle sounded a railroad call of fire" and attracted the attention of firemen in engine house No. II. In rapid suc- cession 14 alarms were turned in.
 When flremen arrived the fla. had reached such an intensity that it was impossible to prevent them from spreading from the main build ing to the storehouse.
 The origin of the fire which start ed in the main building was a mystery early today The night watchman declined to make any statement and refused to tell where he was when the fire broke out. An investigation is under way,

Politics Institute Hears Discus
 sion Of Mexican Debt

Williamstown. Mass. Aug Is LPl- | The policy of the United States was described as one of the most inter
 esting expe riments in the history of the world" by Dr. Henry Kittredge Norton of New York, publicist and author, at the Institute of Politics today.
 Dr. Norton, led the general confer cnce on United States policy in the Caribbean area, he said. never be- fore have the relations between a great power and the surrounding areas been on any basis except that Of conquest on the one hand and submission on the other Only in the Caribbean is it possible 10 find such states as Cuba. Haiti Santo Domingo. Nicaragua and Costa Rica."
 Why are those sovereign states he asked. pointing out that other island areas Of the world although more populous are all imperial ap- pendages."
 It is because the United States has refused to follow hitherto uni versal precedent" he said, by all the age-old rules Of national growth the islands of the Caribbean and the mainland as far south as Panama
 should long since have become American territory"
 Discusses Mexican Debt
 Herbert Feis, formerly of the in ternational labor office at Geneva. discussed the new agreement for payment of Mexican external debt. He said provision Of the agree ment approach closely the upper limit of what it would be wise for creditors to seek or the government to attempt 10 pay. If no improve ment in economic conditions or the public administration takes place this amount in fact probably would prove too much; if great improve ment occurs the surplus would facil- itate the governments plans for edu- cation, public health, agriculture, public Works.'
 Tells of Intervention

CHINA PERTURBED
 OVER OPIUM TRADE
Claims Narcotic Traffic Harms Prestige Of Nanking Regime

Ranking. Aug. Is CP-Opium traf- fic among the Chinese living in the south Sea Islands has provided the national government of China new source of worry.
 She China Anti-Opium league. a semi governmental institution wants the traffic stopped on the grounds that it is injuring the prestige of the present regime at Ranking. The league is preparing protest to the foreign powers having colonies in the south seas.
 Sun Fo, minister of railways. an official of the Anti-Opium league and son of the late Dr. Sun Yat-S Sen. has just completed a survey on be- half of the league of Chinese opium traffic in the south seas as we'll as the British Malay Archipelago. His figures indicate that at least g per cent of the Chinese residing in these countries are drug addicts.
 100000 Addicts
 There are 9,o00,0O0 Chinese liv- ing in the South Sea Islands, sun Fo says in his report, and of this num- Der approximately 4o0, 900 are opium users. The traffic in the drug, he claims, is conducted largely by the Chinese themselves and not by for eigners as commonly supposed In the British Malay Archipelago the report continued, one-third Of the entire annual revenue of the CO., lonial authorities for 1929 was de rived from opium and, as in the South Seas, Chinese are the princi- pal dealers in the drug, The law ot i colonies gives them permission tC handle narcotics. while foreigners are prosecuted if they attempt tc enter the business - which IS pre- cisely what the Anti-Opium League ! is protesting against.

PENSION MEASURE
 OM|7S FINANCING
Assembly Would Have Own Ideas, A. E. Of |. Official Says

Bridgeport Aug. l s LP)-Provis- ions for funds with which old age pensions would be paid under the Connecticut Federation of Labor plan made public yesterday by Sec retary J. J. Egan are not in the bill which will be submitted to the gen. eral assembly.
 The reason that such provisions were not incorporated, MT. Egan said, is due to the opinion held that the general assembly upon passage Of a bill of this general tenure, would have it's own ideas as to meth ods of raising the money. The body might prefer to pass the problem of raising the money back to the cities and towns instead of having gen. eral fund provided in the state treas ury.
 It is expected old age pension leg islation will come before the session of the federation the first week in September for discussion. The effort will be made. it is stated, to have the federation by vote endorse a bill
 
 so that labor's support of it, possibly the one drawn up and made public by Mir. Egan. will be unanimous Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden, who many times has served IS coun- sellor for the federation of labor and had appeared for it at legis- lative hearings, drew up bill which was before the last session and he continued his study of the subject and assisted in drawing up the new bill.
 Two Bills Expected
 The legislative status of the old age pension question is that last session there was an understanding that the employers of labor would draw up bill and the federation would have one. these two to go into the 1881 session unless meantime a single draft of a bill by compromise could b. written.
 Mir. Igan said today that if legis- lation is adopted to carry through | the principle the means of meeting the expense could be provided for | pS d Su ppIfIiltlll Jili Oi tNtIl d rider to the original bill, making an appropriation to start the project He held opinion that if towns were required to pay old age pensions they would save money because per capita cost of maintenance of pen sons entitled 10 relief would be less than the average now expended
 MT. E,gan said a state survey pointed 10 more than 65,OO0 persons in the state over 65 years of age, of whom about 20,oO0 might come under the provisions Of an old age pension law.
 The federation. Mr. Egan said. has undertaken a survey to determine the outlay for care of aged poor and these figures. with others, will be in hand for use at legislative hearings on pension bills
