ABSOLVES TARIFF
ASSLUMP CAUSE
Former Federal Expert Sees
South American Trade
Affected Little.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
UNIVERSITY, Va, July s.-Denial
that the Hawley-Smoot tariff act of
1880 was an important factor in the
decline of the United States foreign
trade with Latin America between 1929
and 1881 was voiced here today by
George jackson Eder, formerly Of the
Latin American section, United States
Department of Commerce.
Addressing the Latin American re-
lations round table at the universtty's
Institute of Public Affairs, Mr.. Eder
said that analysis by the department,
with liberal Interpretation, indicates
that not more than 10 per cent OF the
decline is attributable directly to the
tariff act. The remainder Of the total
actual loss Of trade, amounting to about
so per cent, may be laid at the door
OF the depression, he said.
Sounds Hopeful Note.
An optimistic note was sounded by
George F. Train, Latin American spe-
cialist of the National City Co. OF New
York, who predicted the resumption OF
foreign debt service when conditions
become more favorable. Train said the
drop in the commodity price level and
the falling off in world trade made 1t
impossible for debtor nations to meet
their obligations with the result that
today "one-half Of the Latin American
bonds outstanding in this country are
in partial or complete default"
DR.. Max Winkler, president OF the
American Council of Foreign Bondhcld-
ers, Inc, New York, said America
stake in the countries south Of the Rio
Grande is far less adequately protected
now than it was prior to the World War.
There are outstanding at the present
time In the United States, he SAID,
Latin American government, state and
municipal obligations to an amount OF
approximately 100000, 900.
Urges Educated Pastors
Rev. Leroy P. Burney Of Charlotte,
N. O., speaking before the round table
on Country Church and Rural Minis
try" emphasized the Importance OF
education for the country pastor.
Hugh J. Reber Of New Jersey dis
cussed county government in that State
before another round table. He said
conditions "do not seem to warrant the
existence Of county government so long
as such a government depends upon the
functions now assigned to it."

MELBOURNE Victoria, July
(N.A.N.A.) Leaving Kupang, Timor
Island, at midnight on May IA, we were
blown of our course and had to fly
blind for several hours, although we
thought we could make Melville Island.
At 7 am. on May IS we sighted land
through the mist and landed with
empty tanks. We had no water, no
fruit and only few biscuits.
We reconnoitered the rugged country
in a search for friendly blacks, then
moored the plane safely on the beach.
Following this, we tramped three days,
all the time thinking we were on Mel
vile Island.
Return for Planes Water.
We saw no blacks, found no water,
and were becoming desperate, though
still hopeful. Our parched thirst re-
called to us the water in the planes
cooling system and we returned to our
landing place after six days absence,
during which we tried to sustain cur
selves on gum leaves and red berries.
On May % we left the plane in a
depression on the beach after sighting
fire which we believed to be that of
a native camp. But we found the fire
was caused by burning underbrush.
After that we tried frantically to signal
a steamer passing east, without success.
We were now very weak and 1t was
difficult to walk Our legs were
swollen and our feet bruised. We rested
a day. then pushed on southeast, still
thinking we were on Melville Island.
After a two-day tramp we discovered
we were on the mainland.
Summoning up all our last strength,
we returned to the plane and made
soundings, using float from the plane

DAWSON D|SCLA|MS
OTTAWA REPORT
"Unfortunate Impression" Is
Drawn From His Address on
Citizens Groups, He Says.

Acting Engineer Commissioner DON
aid A. Dawson said today an unfor-
tunate impression had been drawn from
an address he made in Ottawa. Canada,
on February 6 in which he was quoted
in dispatch from correspondent OF
The Star in Ottawa as declaring that
'the so citizens associations OF WASH
ington are at times a great nuisance
with their man. resolutions"
Commenting on a letter to the West
End Citizens Association and an ad-
dress he made to the Georgetown Pro-
gressive Association last night in which
he declared that what he said was
quite the contrary" Maj. Dawson made
the following statement to The Star
today:
Since I was not quoted I cannot
say that 1 was misquoted. but the i'm
preston given out here of my remarks
was unfortunate.
Regrets Use of Nuisance
"It is true that I used the word
nuisance in connection with our citi-
zens' associations, but the word was
removed from its context, and I re-
gret that I ever used it. What I said
was that the autonomy citizen of the
District has is expressed through his
citizens association, and that these as
Sociation very seldom make nuiSanoes
OF themselves. Occasionally they do
SO when, after the Commissioners come
to the very best decision they can upon
subject, the citizens associations nev-
erthelesS continue to adopt resolutions
In opposition.
Il certainly never said that the Dis
trict Commissioners were non-residents
of the District and therefore impartial
I have known for 10 years that the
civilian Commissioners must be select
ed from among residents Of the Dis
trict. and I said so, and a copy Of
Canadian paper I have at home. which
reported my speech, bears me out.
Plays Host to Administration.
'I said that there was very little for
a citizen of the United States to say in
favor of taxation without representa-
ton and that no doubt my hosts would
remember that this was the occasion of
the first of our international parties.
But the Constitution of the United
States provided that the seat of the
Government should be under control of
Congress and made no provision for
congressional representation. I said
that one thing which might be said in
favor Of the situation was that the
National City is the host to the national
administration, and host should al
wavs be non-partisan and impartial.
Il did not read my speech. 1 had
previously made a memorandum of
about dozen points which l wanted
to stress, but the words as they were
delivered were eXtemporaneouS."
