King Alexander's ''Lost City,
Again Gets Place In The Sun
By Associated Pressl

Within 25 or so years, they de-
clare, StObi will be as famous as
the renowned Valley of the Kings
in Egypt.
Governors Villa Stands
For a thousand years or more
not a living soul moved within the
streets of this Forgotten City"
But today hundreds of swarthv
fugoslav and Albanian peasants
are seen digging from dawn until
shutdown among the ruins. The
dark narrow streets are now see
ing the sunlight for the first time
since Stobi was enguIfed. Superb
mosaics of vivid blue, red, green
and orange have come to life
again under the brilliant sun.
The luxurious marble villa of
the Roman governor still stands.
Nearby is a Jewish synagogue built
800 years after Christ was cruel
fled. In the cellar one may look
into a quaintly-made cistern Of
that lost age where seven gold
pieces were cast by panic-striken
Hebrew fleeing from the havoc Of
the earthquake.
There is also a perfectly-pre-
served canalization system, il'us-
trating the engineering skill Of The
ancient Greeks and Romans.
Surface Barely Scratched
DR.. Petovich declares that de-
spite the remarkable results al
ready achieved, the archaeOlOg;sts
had barely Scratched the sur
face" of the Lost City, which COW
ers about $4,000 square feet.
"At our present rate of pro
gress," he said. at may take an
other 100 or 200 years to exca-
vate the site fully and to preserve
all the wonderful art treasures
and other finds"
Serbian archaeolOgists hope
they may yet discover a clue to
the tomb of Alexander the Great.
Howard Garter, famous British
archaeolOgist and Psychologist,
believes Alexander is buried some
where in the city of Alexandria.
Egypt, but this is not accepted by
all archaeOlogists and historians.
So Stobi, the Serbian delivers hope.
may yet yield up the tomb of the
great Macedonian king and con-
queror.

STOBI, YugOslavia, Aug. %
A second Pompeii has been dis.
covered in this remote part of the
Balkans.
1t is regarded by government
archaeoiogists as one of the most
important antiquarian finds ever
made in Europe.
DR.. Vlada Petovich, director of
the National Museum at Belgrade,
ranks the newly-unearthed metro
polls with Babylon, Pompeii, Lux
or, Thebas and Karnak.
The disinterred city is called
Stobi, which was also its ancient
name. 1t was founded 2,4OO years
ago by the Greeks and was later
the capital for centuries of the
important Roman province OF
Macedonia. In SIS A. D., accord
ing to the archaeologists. it wa2
destroyed by an earthquake which
also wiped out IL other populous
and flourishing cities in Mace
dOnia.
Where Kings Rode
Long narrow groves may still
be seen in the stone streets of
Stobi where Philip of Macedon
and Alexander the Great once
rode in chariots. Along the sides
of the streets are finely-preserved
patrician homes. as in Pompeii.
Lovely courtyards with marble
swimming pools and fountains al
so may be seen. The city was
great center of learning, art and
culture during the height of the
Roman empire.
In the center is a great stone
amphitheater which seated 10000
people. Here wild animal con-
tests. gladiatOrial cOmbats and
Olympic games were staged four
centuries before Christ.
ArchaeOlogists and excavators
attached to the National Museum
of Belgrade, who made the dis
covery, intend to make StObi an
international place of pilgrimage.

the pests a great deal by doing

In Inaugural Address
Meant More Than First

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20
Those who may believe that Presi-
dent Roosevclts good neighbor"
foreign policy utterance in his in
augural address was mere phrase
making should take a peek at a
scmi-officiaI recapitulation float
ing around Washington.
This document comprising some
seven single-spaced typewriter
pages, purports to show the pres
ent administration from the start
had definite conception of new
relations with neighboring coun-
tries.
1t represents an intensive
search Of every speech made by
President Roosevelt himself or
by his secretary of state since
March A, 1888, when the new
chief executive, speaking on the
steps of the capitol. declared:
"In the field of world policy |
would dedicate this nation to the
policy of the good neighbor : :"
Greetings Southwark
Since that first exposition of his
administrations foreign policy,
the President has reiterated it in
public utterances on six different
occasions and Secretary Hull OF
10.
One month after his Inaugural
ton, before the governing board
of the Pan-American Union in
Washington, Mr.. Roosevelt de-
clared that, "never have the need
and benefit Of neighborly coopera-
ton been SO evident as they are
today"
Six months later the President
of Panama visited Washington. In
a joint statement issued by the
White House on that occasion
there appeared the declaration.
at is in the interests of both our
countries that we should be 'good
neighbours "
On the eve or the Pan-Amer-
lean conference at Montevideo in
November, 1888. the White House
greeted the delegates with the
words that the United States hal
given careful and hopeful study
to means of contributing some
practical expression of President
Roosevelt's good neighbor policy"
At Warm Springs during the
same month. when the Cuban
crisis was to the fore, the Presi-
dent declared that it was "our in
tention of playing the part of a
good neighbor to the Cuban PEG
pie"
Future Motivating Factor
In his first Thanksgiving Day
proclamation. he announced that
%. we seek no conquests and
ask only honorable engagements
by all peoples to respect the lands
and the rights Of their neigh
bors."
And during the visit of the
President of Haiti to Washington
in April of this year "the policy
of good neighbor which the United
States is endeavoring to apply"
was stressed in the joint state
ment to the press issued by the
two chief executives.
Secretary Hull has stressed the
idea even more. There is scarcely
a formal expression on foreign
policy uttered by Hull since he be-
came secretary of state which
doesn't emphasize this point.
And in the writing of the new
Roosevelt series of treaties of
amity and commerce and of ne
gOtiated trade understandings and
tariff reciprocities the policy of
good neighbor" unquestionably
will be the moticating factor in
Mr., Roosevelt's approach.

POLAND'S STAND
KEY TO RUSSIA'S
ENTRY IN LEAGUE.

tBs Associated PressD
GENEVA, Aug. 29.-The stage
is being set for Russia's entry in.
to the League of Nations, but Pc
land, one of the principal actors
in the drama, may smash the whole
show.
The league assembly meets Sep
TENDER 10. Entry of Russia as =
member. il is generally assumed.
will hinge on her gaining per-
manent seat in the league council.
In that case, Polish spokcsmcn
say, Poland also will demand a
permanent chair, as well as that
Russia subscribe to obligations for
proper treatment of minority peo-
pies.
The expected difficulty Of
granting permanent seats in thu
council both to the U. S. S. K. and
Poland conceivably may serve tt,
block the admission of Russia t.
the league.
Unanimity Necessary
An accepted Interpretation o.
the league covenant is that unani
nifty of its existing members is
necessary to the naming of "a
league member to permanent,
leat. Poland, therefore, which sits
in the council, can block the plan
to make Russia a permanent mem
Der.
Appointment to permanent
seat in the council also needs the
approval of a majority of the as,
sembly. Here, it is believed, Rus
STA will encounter no difficulty.
Election of Russia as member
Of the league, requiring approval
of two thirds of the assembly.
though several nations may vote
against it. The real problem is
the question of a permanent coun~
ell place.
Japan Has Claim
Germany and Japan, which have
resigned from the league, keep
their permanent seats in the coun"
ell for about a year more; that is.
until their two years notice of
resignation expires. Until the mo-
mcnt of expiration, Germany and
Japan have the right to change
their minds, stay in the league.
and sit in the council, without ne
cessity of election. 1t is. there
fore, difficult to give Russia and
puland tho two seats
Moreover, Japan, at least, can
always claim her seat. The coven.
ant stipulates that the council
shall include Representatives OF
the principal allied and associated
powers. These powers are the
United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan.
The United States. after ratify-
ing the covenant, could always
walk into Geneva and say:
"Where's my permanent council
seat?" Japan is in similar posi-
ton.
Chaco A Problem
Another outstanding problem
for the assembly is the liquidation
of the war in the Gran Chaco be-
tween Paraguay and Bolivia.
Bolivia has formally asked that
this conflict be submitted to the
assembly for settlement. As in
the case of the conflict between
Japan and China the assembly pre-
sumably will formulate recon-
mendations for the settlement of
the war.
