Advocates Commission

AS we approach the new year it
is clear that a number of govern
ments indebted to us will be unable
to meet further payments to us in
full, pending recovery in their eco
nomic life.
It is useless to blind ourselves to
an obvious fact. Therefore, it will
be necessary in some cases to make
still further temporary adjustments.
Congress has shared with the
executive in the past the considera-
ton of questions arising from these
debts. I am sure that it will COM
mend itself to the congress, that
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent should continue to share
this responsibility.
In order that we should be in po-
sition to deal with the situation,
1 recommend the recreation of the
World war foreign debt commits
sion, with authority to examine
such problems as may arise in con-
nection with these debts during the
present economic emergency, and
to report to, congress its conclusions
and recommendations.

Treaties Before Senate

There have been transmitted to
the senate, from time to time,
treaties and conventions which have
failed during recent sessions to OBJ
tain that body's consideration or
final decision.
Inasmuch as these treaties affect
numerous phases Of private and
public endeavor, I earnestly COM
mend their early conclusion to the
action of congress.
In the last session Of congress, I
transmitted to the senate protocols
providing for adherence by the
United States to the permanent
court Of international justice.
Upon that occasion, I expressed
my views fully not only of the wis
dom of such action, but that the
safeguards against European en-
tanglements stipulated for by the
senate had been in effect secured
and the interests of the United
States protected.
need not repeat that for over
twelve years every President and
every secretary of state has urged
this action as a material contribu-
ton to the pacific settlement of
controversies among nations and a
further assurance against war.
BY consideration Of legislation
during its last session, congress in
formed itself thoroughly regarding
the merits of the copyright conven-
ton signed at Berlin on Nov. Is,
1908. I hope that necessary legisla-
ton will be enacted during this con-
gress which will make it possible for
further consideration to be given
the copyright convention.
The Sockeye salmon fisheries
treaty, entered into with Canada
to afford protection to the industry,
which was signed on May 26, 1880,
merits the attention of the senate
during the present session.
The United States sent a delega-
ton to the conference on safety of
life at sea, which was held in Lon
don in 1929. The convention, which
was signed by the more important
maritime nations of the world on
May 81, 1929, has unified the stand
ards of safety in accordance with
modern developments of engineer
ing science and in compliance with
the governments obligations to
their citizens to reduce the perils
of travel to a minimum by requir-
ing high efficiency in seamanship.

Points Out.

The real estate owner has taken

Albert E. Uhl, president of the In

Pointing to the depression as "the
most serious in history" Uhl de-
clared that real estate has proved
its stability as contrasted to other
forms of investment" and predict
ed it will be among the early COM

the biggest job in putting over this

Nicaragua

In compliance with the agreement
made in May, 1927, the Nicaraguan
government requested supervision
by an electoral commission from the
United States of the congressional
elections held in 1890. This year a
member of the commission of 1928
and 1880 was sent to Nicaragua as
an observer during the election of
municipal authorities in order that,
on the basis of his observations. it
might be possible to arrange the
many necessary details of the SUI
pervision of the 1892 presidential
election in Nicaragua.
Armed forces of the United States,
maintained in Nicaragua, have
been reduced to the minimum
deemed necessary to the training of
the Nicaraguan constabulary and
the rendering of appropriate sup
port for such instruction. 1t is pro-
posed to withdraw completely
American armed forces from Mica
ragua after the presidential election
there in 1882.
Nicaragua suffered a terrible dis
aster IN the destruction of Managua,
the capital, by earthquake and fire
last March. With their usual gen.
crosby the American people,
through the Red Cross, went whole
heartedly to the assistance of the
stricken country.
United States marines and en-
gineers of the war department, who
were in the country making a sur
vey of the proposed canal route,
joined in rendering service. The
American legation building was de-
stroyed with all its contents, but
the minister and his staff continued
to carry on their official duties and
worked ceaselessly in the. face of
unusual hardshipS. The Nicaraguan
government has expressed it's deep
gratitude.

HOLIDAY BOOZE
MUCH BETTER
THAN IN 1880
Prices About the Same, but
Quality Much Higher,
Drinkers Reveal.
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Christmas
may find consumers paying more for
their bottled holiday cheer than
last year, for the supply has been
cut by increased coast guard activ-
ity off Montauk, L. l., and Atlantic
Highlands, N. J.
Champagne right now, however, is
selling at about SIS less a case than
last year, with other prices about
the same as a year ago.
A well-informed person said, how
ever, the quality of liquor this year
is better than last year. One of the
reasons for this, he explained, is the
depression.
Speakeasies and private bootleg
gers who usually had a supply of
real Mccoy" on hand, but found
it more profitable to push the local
connections, are so affected by the
slump that they are getting rid of
the imported goods at slightly above
domestic prices.
Another reason for the reduced
demand is that New York's wealthy
evidently are not planning as Law
ish Christmas and New Year par
ties as hitherto
IT'S not that they can't afford it,
he explained, but they don't think
it's good policy. You see, it wouldn't
do, let's say, for some prominent
banker, to throw a big party and
nave some poor fellow on whom he'd
just foreclosed read about it in the
society pages"
So with neither the rich nor the
so-called middle-class buying up to
their last years budgets, bootleggers
and speakeasy propiretors are for
the first time since prohibitions in
ception feeling the pinch of eco
nOmic stress.
Many speakeasies have gone out
of business within the last few
months and according to one OBJ
server, the depression is beginning
to accomplish what federal author
tiles have found it so difficult to
do in the metropolis with its esti-
mated $4,000 SpeakeasieS.

Haiti

Substantial progress has been
made in carrying out the program
for the withdrawal of our activities
in Haiti, recommended by the COM
mission which, with the support of
congress, made an investigation of
Haitian affairs in 1880, and by its
good offices laid the foundation for
the present popularity elected gov
eminent of that republic.
After protracted negotiations, an
accord was reached with the
Haitian government on Aug. pro-
viding for the return to Haitian
control of important government
services heretofore carried on under
American supervision by virtue Of
general obligations arising through
the provisions Of our treaty with
Haiti.
In accordance with this agree
ment, the Haitian government on
Oct. 1 assumed definitely the adj
miniStration and control of the de-
partment of public works, the sani-
tary service, and the technical serv-
ice of agriculture, which includes
the industrial educational system.
All American personnel was with
drawn from these services. TIC

denies, and in order that the health
of the American troops and Off
Gals still stationed in Haiti might
be protected, the accord provided
that an American scientific mission,
consisting of three American naval
officers and six hospital corps men,
should be charged with the control
of sanitation in the cities of Port
Au Prince and Cape Haitien.
The accord makes appropriate
provision for the continuance of
adequate financial control and as
sistance on the part of our govern

Bolivia and Paraguay

In 1929 the government of the
United States, together with the
governments Of Cuba, Colombia,
Mexico and Uruguay, formed the
commission on inquiry and con-
Citation, Bolivia Paraguay, which
had the good fortune of being able
to terminate an International Incl
dent which for a time threatened
to cause war between the countries
involved.
The five neutral governments
then offered their good offices to
Bolivia and Paraguay, with a view
to furthering a settlement of their
difficulties. This offer was accepted
in principle.
I am happy to state that repre-
sentatives of both countries are now
meeting in Washington, with the
hope of concluding a pact of non
aggression between them.
