BORAH ATTACKS
LEGGE STATEMENT
ldahoan Declares Farm Board Head
Should Show Fitness in
Relief Situation.

~ the Associated Press.
Chairman Legge of the Farm Board
was taken TO task in the Senate today
by Senator Borah of Idaho for his
statement yesterday contending the
export debenture plan was unavoidable,
the Idahoan remarking that Legge
would do better to demonstrate his
fitness to deal with the farm situation
before undertaking to advise Congress
regarding legislation"
Borah, who has advocated the export
debenture principle of farm relief,
which is opposed by President Hoover,
placed the Legge statement In the Con-
greSsional Record. Alongside it he
placed a statement by Alexander Ham
ilton on the protective tariff, with
apologies to Mr.. Hamilton
st notice Chairman Legge has taken
little time of from his arduous labors, -
Borah told the Senate, ito make state.
ment on the export debenture think
it would be more satisfactory to the
country if Mr.. Legge would demonstrate
his fitness to deal with the farm situa-
ton before he undertakes to advise
Congress regarding legislation"
Senator Borah did not amplify the
terms of the Alexander Hamilton state
ment. Legge, in opposing the export de-
benture system, which was incorporated
in the tariff bill by the Senate, contend
ed that foreign importing countries I'M
doubtedly would put up insurmountable
harriers-perhaps to the extent of an
embargo American produce on
which the debentures were operative"

REDUCED CAR FARE
URGED BY CITIZENS
Crosby and ReicheIderfer

Association.

Advocating proposed street car fare
reductions for school children, the
Trinidad Citizens Association last night
expressed opposition to any contem-
plated tax increase that might be en-
acted because of reduced rates.
Rate reductions would not work any
hardship on street railway companies,
the association declared, as pupils
would make use of the cars at times
when there was little traffic.
Traffic Regulation Sought.
Violations of speed regulations on
Bladensburg road northeast that imperil
lives of school children, particularly
at Morse, Neal and Oates streets inter-
sections were deplored by the associa-
ton, which voted to ask the director OF
traffic for support.
with two automobile accidents oc-
curing at the intersection Of Montello
avenue and Morse streets northeast
within Is minutes yesterday, the asso-
citation urged placing OF stop signs at the
corner.

Work and Civic Spirit.

Elwood Street, director Of the Com
munity Chest, addressed q meeting Of
the Cumberland welfare Federation, the
local community chest of Cumberland,
Nd, yesterday.
In his address Mr.. Street declared
that Washington, which was held to be
a city with the least civic spirit, had
set an example this year in unified civic
spirit and in generosity in the develop
n1ent Of its Community Chest which
surpasses that of any city in the coun-
try.
while much remains to be done to
meet community needs" Street said
"WashingtonianS have given more gen.
erously in proportion to the population
of the community in the first two years
of its Community Chest than have the
citizens of any other American city in
the same space of time"
The success of the Chest in Washing
ton, he said, is due to the cooperation
of all important groups and individuals.

reasons for the separation Of Hereditary
Princess Charlotte of Monaco and her
husband, Prince Pierre de PoiignAc.
Princess Charlotte always has been
interested in surgery, and until the re-
cent quarrel with her husband was the
largest contributor to the free hospital
at Monaco.
Internes at the hospital say that the
princess is O born surgeon, although she
never has actually studied medicine, ex-
cept through watching operations. A
major operation performed by DR.. Del
mas aroused her enthusiasm to such q
point that she appointed him her medi-
cal adviser.
Instead of going to the theater, re-
ports say, she prefers to visit operating
rooms and to study.

CONQUISTADORES
POr Luis C.. SepllVeda

De Merida, la bella capital
del Estado mexicano de Yucca
tan, me escriben pidiendome
una opinion sobre la convenien-
Icia de erigir ALI un monumento
que perpet1e la memoria del A
delantado Don Francisco de
Montejo, ell conquistador espa-
mol que domino a los mayas y
|fund6 la primera ciudad cristia
ma en- la peninsula suoriental
de Mexico.
A juzgar por ell tono de la
carta en- que Sc me pide mi
punto de vista, parece que exis-
tie una corriente opuesta al pro-
veto del monumento. Este no
seria extrano, puesto que no
lhace mucho que en- la prensa de
la Rep1blica Mexicana Sc dis
cutie, con acrimonia de parte
y parte, ell proyecto de cree
ci6n de un monumento nacio-
nal a la memorial de Don Her.
nando Cortes, ell famoso con-
quistador de los grandes gestos
|teatrales. Y al fin y al cabo, la
polemica termin6 sin llegar a
ningun acuerdo, y Don Herman
do sigue sin mas monumento en-
Mexico que ell del "Arbol de la
Noche Triste", y ESQ porque no
conmemora un triunfo ,sino la
mas amarga derrota del con-
quistador.
Por ley de inevitables alta
vismos aun existe en- la Ameri-
ca espanola un recondito rencor
que no ha cedido nj ante los pa
liativos de una mestizaci6n de
cinco siglos. Esta la raz6n por
la cual Cortes no tiene monu-
mento, como no 10 tienen tam
