PERU AND COLOMBIA
AGREE TO TRUCE IN
Fight OVER BORDER
South American Nations Will
Negotiate Directly to
Settle Dispute

Lima, Peru, May l2.-(RrPeru
and Colombia agreed Friday to d.
rect negotiations to solve their con-
flict over the Leticia border territory
in the upper Amazon region.
The conflict between Peru and Co.
lombia was precipitated Sept. l, 1882,
when Peruvians seized the town of
Leticia and ousted Colombian off,
Gals. Since that time there have
been few instances of fighting ON q
fairly large scale.
Both nations have concentrated
men and materials of war in the dis
trict. Meanwhile American neutral
countries and the League of Nations
have endeavored to compose the dis
pute.
Leticia is a sun-baked village of
only a few hundred residents and
less than 200 buildings in jungle
country which was coded by Peru to
Colombia in 1922. It is important
because it is at the tip of strip of
land which gives Colombia an out
let to the Amazon river system and
eastward to the Atlantic.
International interest has been
centered on the dispute during the
last few days because of the move
ment of Peruvian cruiser and two
submarines through the Panama
canal. These ships had orders to
proceed to the upper Amazon coun-
try, where several Colombian ships
already have been concentrated.
The League of Nations held that
refueling and reprovisioning facili-
ties should be denied the Peruvian
vessels. At one time Colombia was
reported ready to send aircraft to
bomb the ships before they entered
the Amazon, but this plan never was
carried out.
Last March the League of Nations
adopted a report condemning Peru's
occupation of the coded territory and
demanding immediate evacuation.

trict attorneys they would be held

out of picketing attempts. while in
Oklahoma Governor w. H. Murray
declared that every man will be pro-
tected in his right to sell to him who
wants to buy"
A strike by some dairy farmers in
northern Illinois, which was opposed
by members of the pure milk asSo-
citation, was threatened for Saturday,
and Health Commissioner Herman N.
Bundesen issued a warning that milk
from any section where tie-ups are
attempted would be barred from the
Metropolitan area.
Representatives Of about 1000 milk
producers in Maryland. Delaware,
New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania
decided to lend moral support to the
strike movement.
In South Dakota, Emil Loriks, Sec
rotary Of that states division of the
Holiday association, said no organic
ed effort toward participation had
been made.
At st. Paul, Mimi, directors of the

joint STATEMENT
SAYS REDUCTI0NN
arms SNECESSARY
Roosevelt and German Negotia-
tor Make Declaration At
Washington

Washington, May 12.-tR)-A joint
statement issued Friday by President
Roosevelt and DR.. Hjalmar schacht,
German representative, said both
were convicted the world economic
conference could not be a success un-
less "along with economic disarma-
ment, there is military disarmament"
I'VE emphasized the necessity Of
speedy elimination of the obstacles
to international trade" the commune
ication said, land we feel that the
creation of stable conditions In the
monetary field Is equally important.
Economic and monetary questions
are so interdependent that the adj
justment of both must necessarily go
hand In hand"
The statement issued at the con-
clusion of the informal parleys with
Germany,s representative preparatory
to the world economic conference IN
London said that quick and far
reaching solutions are necessary to
save the economic life of the world"
Must Help Unemployed
Until restoration of order In econ
omic life has relieved unemployment,
it added, "endeavors must be made to
help the unemployed by sound inter-
nal credit expansion and by synch-
ronized international program for the
mobilization of public and private
credit for productive purposes"
Thus far Germany has been the
stumbling block in the way of prog
cess toward adoption, but officials
here feel that Japan likewise Will
present objections in due time.
French opposition has been dis
pelled, at least temporarily, by Roose-
velt's assurances that the United
States will help guarantee interna-
tional peace by some form of consul
tative pact if definite arms limitation
Is achieved.
The Macdonald plan, which in
cludes such a security provision,
would abolish heavy mobile guns,
heavy tanks, bombing from the air
and poison gas.
It likewise would set definite limi-
tations on the size of continental Eu-
ropean armies and would require that
they be of a short term conscript
militia type rather than cromprised
Of a professional, long-term- service
soldiery.

RENO DISGRUNTLED BY
|ROOSEVELT'S MODERATION

st. Paul, May 12-P-The nationa,
farm strike will start Saturday despite
President Roosevelt's action In signing
the farm bill and urging farm mort
gage creditors to abstain from fore
closures, Milo Reno of Dies Moines, a..
president of the National Farmers
Holiday association, said here Satur-
day.
A message asking President Roose-
welt whether he intended to declare a
moratorium on farm foreclosures and
executions on chattel mortgages had
been sent by Reno from Des MoineS
last night.
Reno conferred here today with
Farm Holiday association members
from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
and North Dakota relative to enforc-
ing the farm strike, voted at the Ma
tional Farmer Holiday convention in
Des Moines last week.
Told that the president had signed
the farm bill and urged a relaxation
in foreclosures. Reno said:
Not Yet Satisfied
II would be better satisfied If the
president had made it demand that
creditors refrain from foreclosing on
farms. This battle has got to be
fought. 1t is contest. You never
will solve this problem until 1t is
fundamentally solved.
president Roosevelt told the bank
ers you fellows close your doors and
protect your property and by protect
ing your property you are protecting
your depositors' now, what has been
done to give the farmer at least cost
Of production prices?"
Asked If he would call off the strike
If Roosevelt issued a proclamation
hating farm mortgage foreclosures
Reno said:
II can't call Oft the strike. Such &C.
ton would have to be taken by the d.
rectors of the various state organiza-
tons. # we felt there was need for
such a meeting. the directors would
be contacted hurriedly and a con-
ference held"
