CONSERVATIVES ATTACK
LATIN AMERICAN POLICY
Writer'S Criticisms of New Attitude Held
Reactionary in Face of South
erners' Approval.

on the advantages and disadvantages
of the new policy of recognition, which,
unanswered, may lead to a complete
misunderstanding of the Latin Ameri-
can situation.
Let us follow them in the order in
which they appear in his work entitled
Wanted: A Consistent Latin Ameri-
can Policy" printed by Foreign AT
fairs, an American Quarterly Review.
Mr.. Davis makes the first mistake
when he assumes, from the fact that
constitutional elections have not yet
been held, that the violent changes OF
government in some of the Latin re-
publics have not the approval of the
populace. National elections have not
yet been been held to ascertain the
will of the people regarding the radical
changes of government" he states. try
ing to convey the impression that the
State Department acted with unwise
celebrity in extending recognition to
these military relationships before the
peoples in question had had an oppor-
tunity to express acquiescence by bal
lot or other constitutional means"
Await Normally.
The fact that national elections have
not as yet taken place in some of the
Southern republics by no means i'm
plies a diSapproval of the recent coupS
d'etat. Elections must give way, first
to an elaborate period of economic and
political reorganization OF the country

Silver Slump Prospers Peiping
On Tourist Trade, Largely American

PEIPING.-The depreciation in the
value of silver. which is the money
standard Of China. is resulting in the
most successful tourist year Peiping
has known. The American military
forces in the Philippines and Hawaii
are IN large way responsible for this
record year, for never before have so
many wives and families OF Army, Navy
and Marine officers come to China.
The news that a traveller could do
China" for less money than it costs to
live tourist style probably anywhere else
in the world was quickly, spread among
the military forces of Uncle Sam sta
toned in the Pacific area, through the
medium of the officers wives, eager to
live where they could change their gold
dollars for more than four and some
times almost five silver ones.
The advantage of the drop in silver
has been almost wholly on the side of
the tourists, for these foreigners who
make their home in China have not
benefited to the same extent. Many of
these aliens receive their pay in the
national currency of the land. and
these people are hard hit, indeed, in
their efforts to make ends meet. Their
higher standard of living than that
practiced by the nationals Of China
requires that they buy products which
have increased in price proportionately
with the fall in silver.
Curios Hardly Affected.
Tourists. however, benefit from the
fact that the curios and the handicraft
creations which theT buy have hardly
been affected at all by the fall in silver.
for they are produced by Chinese labor
almost wholly out of Chinese products.
Foreigners who have been able to live
on Chinese foods and in Chinese style
are exceptionally few and virtually al
missionaries.
It obviously would be impossible 10

vantages of the present-day airplane
and the helicopter, while avoiding the
defects of both
Models Of the plane show q more
orthodox design than most machines

Of incidence. In this position they
offer but small resistance to the up
ward motion.
The motors are mounted to the wings
and vary their tilt with them. For ver-
tical flight they are pointing nearly up

deemed sufficient by Mr.. AjeHo to pro-
duce the upward motion. Very light

TIME HAGUE.-The Dutch are
more proud of many of their
ancient buildings, including the
u old houses which line the streets
and ouays of Amsterdam and
The Hague than they are of the old
palaces, markets, weigh houses and
similar public or semi-public institu-
lions. Some of these contain more his
toric interest to the square yard than
any place In the world, and to this
fact Is added that Of the family asso-
citation which many can claim with q
"patrician house." but which few can
claim with q royal palace or building
erected for public use.
Alnogside these, however, are houses
equally as old of which neither the au-
thorities nor the people in general are
proud. Two or three centuries ago
many of these we're high-ciasS resi-
dences, but neglect gradually reduced
them so that they are now let to the
poorest often In single rooms for a
whole family and at rents out OF pro-
portion to their value. The problem
Of these houses and their occupants in
recent years has been taken vigorously
in hand by the various municipalities,
so that Holland Is gradually becoming
a model to other European countries on
the question of housing the poverty
stricken.

than 800 houses a year IN Amsterdam

Chinese in Hawaii Balk
At Aiding Home Country

HONOLULU, Hawaii-For the first
time In many years the Chinese COM
munity in Hawaii has declined to hold
a drive" among its number for relief
funds for distressed people in China.
The Chinese Honolulu Chamber OF
Commerce received q cabIegram asking
that funds be raised for victims from
flood and famine, but decided not TO
make public campaign, feeling that
such a move is tnopportune.
Voluntary subscriptions win be re-
ceived and forwarded, but no canvass
Of either business houses or individuals
will be made. There Is steadily grow
ing feeling here that until China puts
her house in order, organizing q stable
government able to control the coun-
try and puts an end to the constant
civil wars Chinese abroad are justified
In refusing to make heroic efforts te
raise relief funds.
It is felt that China Is spending too
much money for civil wars and too little
in organized public work that will OBJ
viate many Of the disasters which often
fall on the people. This feeling was
not formally expressed by the Chinese
chamber, but is In the minds Of many
leading Chinese of Honolulu.

was forced to witness the destruction
Of his beloved city through the In
vasionS Of barbarianS and the violence
Of earthquakes, more than 10 long CEN
turtles passed. Since its downfall,
Arabs, Turks and Bedouins have neg
lected the buried city; it could be
likened only to an immense city of the
dead-one of the most impressive of
the ancient world-spread out upon
descending terraces Of rock around the
inhabited area.
Until the beginning Of the Italian
excavations, the visible ruins of the city
were few and silent; here and there
formless remains, such as isolated
columns emerged from fields and gar
dens which covered the place where
Cyrene f1ourished. European travellers
during the last century hunted among
the ruins, chiefly in search of treasures,
overthrowing portions of ancient edi-
fees and thus destroying valuable pages
OF history.
Task Of Italian Scholars.
For the reconstruction of bygone ages
1t Is necessary to trace the monuments
from their remotest origin and cause
erary remains, inscriptions and works
of art This was the task assumed by
Italian scholars.
The plan of the City Of Cyrene pro-
duced by the English explorers, Smith
and Porcher, in 1861, which has served
as reference until now, has a topo-
graphical value but it has little GER
tainty in regard to the ruins of the
vanished ages Of the past.
In 1e25-'26 our architect, I. Gis-
mondi, executed a new and precise map.
This map shows, among other details,

retain foreigners and pay them on the
same level as the Chinese, because the
expenses of the former are so much
higher. The Chinese are not yet ready
to take over complete control Of the
foreign institutions, 1t was
pointed out, and it would be impossible
to attract foreigners to China II thetr
pay was greatly under what they could
receive at home.
Want Pay in Gold.
The Chinese who have ag1tated Tor
equal salaries have asked that their
pay be computed in gold also, but
there are virtually insurmountable diff
ficulties to prevent this. The foreign
supported institutions are intended to
train Chinese for their own and not
Western organizations. and the former
already have repeatedly complained
over the large discrepancy IN pay be-
tween what they can give and what
the foreign organizations provide. They
declare that this prevents them from
building I'D their own institutions. for

payment in gold would give them SAL
aries which in the eyes Of the Chinese
would be phenomenal. indeed, and lit
orally unheard of in the country
An American head of one of the
largest foreign -supported institutions in
this country said that the only solu-
ton to this problem win come when
Chinese will be trained enough to take
over complete control of their own in
situations. He pointed out that those
foreigners who have families, and par
ticularly those who wish to keep their
children in school In America rather
than in another country. simply could
not support themselves on the basis Of
silver. It is an entirely different matter
for Chinese. however.

earned money to travel by street car.
Some critics also point to the small.
ness Of the rooms in the houses ana
the high rent payable, submitting that
the comparison with larger houses Is
proportionately to the serious disadvan-
tage Of the poor man.
The authorities reply to this that
they would like to do better, but tnat
they do not wish TO pauperize their
people by paying too large share OF
the cost of their houses. They declare
the people are contented. that every
room is occupied, and that even II the
houses are small the advantages are
much greater than they could have In
other circumstances.
Most Of the houses for married
couples without children have foWi
runs, which are well kept by the ten
ants. \ The grouping Of the houses
around q central garden also Is fea-
ture which the tenants appreciate. No
one Is forced to go into any OF these
houses. though in some other towns .
degree of compulsion Is exercised.
Schools, churches and stores are placed
within easy reach.
BY these and similar means The
Hague has already gone far toward
abolishing its slums. while the greater
City Of Amsterdam, where the diff
culties are not only those Of the size
OF the city but also Of the floating
character of its cosmopolitan popula-
ton, hopes to do so within the next 20
years. Those responsible consider that
the methods employed will largely, If
not entirely. prevent the recurrence Of
Sums and TO some extent combat pow
erty and its evils. With q population
growing at the rate Of 1900 families
year. this Is no guau task.

Sanctuary Of Apollo and the Theater.
On the eastern side Of the other
height, northeast of the former, traces
of the surrounding wall are but scanty.
Apparently 1t passed between the sta
dunn and a large archaic Doric temple
believed by the first explorers to have
been a sanctuary of Artemis, but now
proved through votive inscription and
most beautiful head of Zeus, discov-
cred there in 1925, to have been dedi-
Gated to Jupiter Olympus.
The divine ef1igy, with its gliding
and the ivory-like brilliancy of its
marble appears to initiate the tech
nique Of Phidias' immortal masterpiece
and, like the similar heads of Zeus Of
the golden skaters" coined In the
sacred mint of Olympia in the fifth and
fourth centuries B. c., 1t seems to pre-
serve for us the most faithful ref1ec-
ton Of the Phidian creation.
Extensive Ruins Revealed.
Above everything, however, this new
system of ruins, including those on q
terrace which extends north Of the
Fount of Apollo, and those Of height
in the rear. The ruins on the terrace
belong to the Sanctuary Of Apollo and
to the Romano-ByZantine baths; the
others to the Greco-Roman Agora.
The present excavations have proved
that originally all of the area In front
of the Fount Of Apollo as far as the
sustaining wall of the terrace was oc-
cupied by the monuments sacred to the
cult of Apollo, Artemis and other di-
whites, as well as to Beus and Hades,
Aphrodite and Hecate, Pan and the
DioScuri.

Subsequent to the abandonment and
