Britain Greatly Buoyed
By Hoover's Proposition
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, June 27.-Europe, perhaps
excluding France, has had the most ex-
hilarating week for the past seven days
that it has experienced for two years, If
not since the war. President Hoover'S
wine has gone to its head and. though
the first rapturous effect Is now passing
OF, hopes are still running high that
an immediate crisis has been averted
and that permanent results are possible.
Fears in regard to the French attitude
are moderating, in view of Secretary
Melons visit to Paris, the noticeable
change in the tone of the Paris press
and Aristide Brands invitation to
Chancellor Bruening and Foreign Min
lister CurtiuS of Germany to visit the
French capital on July 4. 1t is not ex-
pected that the French proposal in re-
gard to reparationS will be accepted in
its present form, but confidence pre-
walls here that an agreement will be
reached during the coming week.

Meanwhile. the immediate emergency
in Germany Is being met by an interna-
/ tional loan of 10000, 900 arranged be-
Bank the Bank of France, the Bank
of England and the Bank for Interna-
| tional Settlements. This will enable
Germany to meet her midyear Settle
mentS, but the situation is still perilous,
with gold and foreign currency reserves
of the Reichsbank still lowering dan
gerously near the statutory limit of 40
per cent of its banknote circulate. 1t
was the withdrawal Of foreign loans or
| deposits on stupendous scale which
[ provoked the German crisis last week
and, though fight from the mark was
checked for the moment by the Hoover
initiative, the danger in the situation
has not been wholly removed.

 Southwestern Alaska, and the Port of Seward, are Tn excellent position enjoy business relations with Japan or China and India where portions of the worlds largest markets are found.

 However, prior to this evenualty, there is great deal of ground to be laid first steps toward this end were taken over year ago by Mr. III. s. KaWabe, Seward business man, president and manager of the kaWabe Investment Company importers and exporters
 This consists of obtaining samples of every con- celvabe nature large small Alaskan products; price thereof, quantities available, etc. Armed with these facts, and providing sufficient tonnage is available great export business be developed from Alaska to Asia through the Port of Seward
 As an illustration, the tonnage from Seattle to Jap an quoted at $5 per ton from Seward to the Orient $8 per ton.

has had to deal with in the 1oe years
Of her existence.
Under the administration of DR.. Sala-
manca, Bolivia Is undergoing q critical
period Of financial reconstruction, ter
ribly magnif1ed by the economic de-
preston from which the world at large
is suffering. The expenditures of the
government being almost entirely de-
pendent upon the country's foreign eX-
ports, and more than three-quarters Of
these being tin, the tremendous fall in
the price Of tin which the world crisis
and overproduction have brought about
has resulted in disastrous consequences
for Bolivia.
The government has seen its income
cut in half. The national budget has
therefore been reduced to a minimum,
new taxes have been created, salaries
cut down, smaller mines closed, with
all the Ill effects on credit, commerce
and buying power Of the people which
all these measures represent. The in
tensity Of the crisis may be appreciated
by the fact that for the first time in its
history the country has been forced to
ask of Wall Street bankers q new and
easier arrangement for the payment Of
its foreign financial obligations.
At Heroic Period.
1t Is because Of this wide and almost
heroic economic reorganization which
the nation is going through-outside Of
the political one, which seems already
completed-that it may be said her ma
tional day finds Bolivia in one Of the
most interesting moments Of her his
tory.
When the region which Is now Bo-
livia was discovered by the Spanish con-
quistadores it formed part Of the Inca
Empire, of which Peru was the center,
and whose peculiarly high civilization,
with its great attainment in astronomy,
mathematics, fine arts and handiwork
astounded the Europeans.
During the first three and q half
centuries Of Spanish rule, Bolivia, then
known as Upper Peru" formed part Of
the Viceroyalty of Lima, but during
the last half century before independ-
ence was part of the Vlceroyalty of
the Rio de La Plata. In 1909 the people
of Upper Peru. led by the ''criollo" pa
triots. descendants of Spaniards. born
in America, rose in arms against the
crown Of Spain. They did so inspired
by the ideals of the French Revolution
and the War of Independence of the

World School at Mainz
To Survey All Education

BERLIN-In q few weeks there Is
TO be the oficial opening of the Inter-
ternational Pedagogical Institution in
Mainz on the Rhine. Up on the forth
fed citadel, held for the last IL years
by the French, the last traces Of mill
tary occupation are being swept away.
The beautiful buildings hitherto serv-
ing as officers quarters, barracks.
armories, ETC., are being put to a
nobler use. Here are to be assembled
school material, models and literature
pertaining to every type of scholastic.
artistic and manual training, so that
teachers and students from all parts
OF the world may meet together and
make a comparative study Of educa-
tional problems
Various foreign governments inter-
ested in the scheme have undertaken
to furnish q room in one Of the build
ings, where students from different
countries can live at moderate cost. A
communal kitchen will supply meals
at nominal rates Lectures in German.
French and English will be given and
informal discussion will be encouraged.
The latter Is considered particularly
important, and many Of the exhibition
rooms have inviting arrangements OF
easy chairs and writing desks. while
on the grassy slopes around which
the buildings are grouped deck chairs
under bright colored awnings strike a
gay, friendly note, which evidently Is
to indicate the spirit Of the whole
undertaking.

ergy Is largely responsible for the idea,

United States, but they did not sue
coed in achieving complete freedom
from the Spanish yoke until 16 years
later. In 1925, after the final battles
Of Junin and Ayacucho, they consti-
tuted themselves an independent SOW
ereign republic, to which they gave the
name Of their liberator, Simon Bolivar
The territory of Bolivia occupies an
area Of about 800, 900 square miles, more
or less that of France, Belgium, Switz-
erland, Spain, Portugal and Italy to-
gether. Thus, in size, Bolivia is the
third largest country in South America,
although in such vast territory she
has a population Of scarcely 5000, 900
inhabitants.
Lost Much Territory.
When first organized as a republic,
LOG years ago, Bolivia's territory was al
most three times as large as It now Is.
Later on, she lost large portions of her
patrimony IN unfortunate negotiations
and wars. to each and every one of her
neighbors.
The first decades of Bolivia's history
were series of internal disturbances
and revolutions, natural to a state in
process OF organization. Ambitious and
often INSCRIPTIONS "caudillos" succeed
ed each other with dramatic frequency,
until the war against Chile found the
country poor, unsettled, almost ex-
hausted by the rigors of civil strife.
AS result of this war, the War Of
the Pacific" Bolivia is now Iand-locked
within her mountains, deprived of all
access to the sea, because Chile, on sign
ing the peace treaty, took for herself
all Of Bolivia'S seacoast and ports.
This has constituted a serious obstacle
to the economic progress of the country
forcing the Bolivians to carry on their
entire foreign commerce through Chill
can and Peruvian ports. Realizing the
injustice of keeping a nation like Bo-
nvia deprived of something which every
free people enjoy, the whole world has
lately, and repeatedly. shown its SYM
pathieS toward Bolivia's cherished hope
to regain sovereignty Of her ports.
The United States, in 1925, proposed
that the port of Arica-then in dis
pute between Chile and Peru and of
little material value to either one of
them-should be coded to Bolivia as a
way Of ending the famous Tacna-Arica
controversy.
