BOLIVIAN MINISTER!
AND LONG CLASH |
Senator Refuses to Answer
Finot on Denial of Stand
ard Oil Plot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the Chaco war as the subject,
Senator Huey Long yesterday crossed
words with Enrique Finot, the Bo-
livian Minister to the United States,
In an international debate over what
was behind the war in the Chaco.
Finot made public letter addressed
to Long, in which Finot abandoned
all usual diplomatic procedure to tell
the Senator that his remarks this last
week in the Senate on the Chaco con-
f1ict were offensive, distortion OF the
truth, hostile and inaccurate"
Long had said in a speech on Latin
American affairs that Paraguay was
the innocent victim of Bolivian con-
quest in the Chaco conflict, now in
its third year in South America.
Yes" Long remarked after the let
ter was made public, Il got his letter,
but I'm not paying any attention to
little two by fours like him.
Wants Head Man"
Hes just a hireling in this mat
ter. The Standard Oil is promoting
that war, and I want to deal with
the principals. If one of the Stand
ard Oil filling station operators wrote
me letter I wouldn't pay any atten-
ton it for the same reason. I want
to deal with the head man.
This retort brought from Finot the
statement that he was not afraid of
Huey Long or any man, when the
interests of his country were at
stake
I want him to answer me-" Finot
said. Il want the world to know
the facts in our war with Paraguay.
We welcome a fight in order to let
the true facts about this Paraguayan
attempt at conquest become known.
IF Longs charges that the Stand
ard Oil Co. had corrugated the Boliv-
ian government into inciting this war
against Paraguay went unanswered
there would be a revolution in Bolivia
and the government would fall"
Long Wants Probe.
Long had said in his speech that
the Standard Oil Co., seeking an out
let for its oil in Bolivia, and unable
to dicker with Paraguay, had made
a deal to finance Bolivia in an ef-
fort to conquer territory needed for
a pipe line to the sea. Finot told
Long this charge was ridiculous, as
also was the one that the American
Government had in arbitration award
ed the Chaco to Paraguay a half
century ago.
Il suppose his letter to me was
written in the Standard Oil office, -
Long said. I'm not going to answer
Finot, but I am going to carry this
matter on the floor.
L am going to demand the Judi
ciary Committee make an investiga-
ton of this Chaco war and report
to the Senate. I suppose the demand
will be thrown out, though"

They mix with all strata of Wash

the younger men, even if their social
or official position does not include
them in the embassy lists" and real
ly are anxious to understand what is

Ambassador Saito. the youngest Am
bassador in the japanese diplomatic
service. arrived in Washington only
few months ago. Although less smooth
than his predecessor. Debuchi, and
more in sympathy with the policies
of the naval and military men in To-
kio. Saito is making the best of
difficult and thankleSs job.
He is not afraid to talk straight
out, eUen lUhen he realizes that his
blunt talk may make sensational
netUS or may not be pleasing to the
American ears. And once he has
blurted out the truth he sticks to
his guns t0hdteUer the reaction
here or abroad may be.
Troyanovsky, the "Bolshevist AM
bassador," as he was scornfully called
when he arrived in Washington in De-
cember, belongs to what may be called
the conservative wing in the Soviet
Republics
When he first arrived in town there
was a move to ostracise him; many of
his colleagues and Washington social
ties decided to maintain only strictly
formal relations with him. Then, he
threw party at the opening of the
new embassy which was the sensation
OF the year.
Pleasant Surprise
People swarmed there Just to see
what it is like" They expected to
see uncouth walters, bearded, fierce
looking attaches and all the disrepu-
table Communists in this country. In
stead, they found there most of the
Washington intellectuals and the in
evitable high officials and diplomats,
choice food and good champagne.
Now an invitation to the Sixteenth
street mansion is as much appreciated
as used to be in years gone by. the
invitation from the British embassy
the most sought after engraved card
board in Washington.
Troyanovsky is less blunt than his
japanese colleague, yet he never shirks
from calling a spade a spade His
staff follows the example of their
chief.
While the counsellors and the secre-
to the outsider that they have opin-
ions of their own on American and
international affairs. and if they do
they cover them with a number of
non-committal expressions, the mem

AugoSto RoSso, the italian Ambas-
Sador is new dealer. too His task
is much easier than that of his other
two colleagues because there is little
resentment left in this country against
Mussolini.
AS young as Saito, he is the only
bachelor Ambassador in Washington.
When he has something to say, he
speaks plainly without mincing his
words.

HOLLAND STIRRED
BY JAPAN'S TRADE
Invasion of Dutch East In
dies Leads to Conference
on Situation.
BY the Associated Press Foreisn STAFF.

BY the Associated Press Foreign Staff.
TOKIO-Japan's worldwide trade
offensive once again has run into
Snag-this time meeting with the
stubborn resistance Of the Neither
lands.
Already beset by commercial diff
culties with both Britain and China,
Japan has aroused Dutch concern
as a result of her intensive trade
invasion of the Dutch East Indies.
A conference, to resolve the trade
problems, has been set for June 4 at
Batavia. The japanese delegation will
be headed by Dr. Haruichi Nagaoka,
former minister to The Hague and
later Ambassador to Paris.
Political Issue Raised.
Many Dutch leaders profess to be
worried by the specter of impending
Japanese political penetration into
their island empire in the East. 1t is
considered likely that this issue will
be brought up for discussion at the
conference.
With her once flourishing China
market wrecked by boycotts and her
textile exports to India restricted by
agreement, Japan now finds in the
Dutch East Indies her largest outlet
for the products of her principal IN
duStry, cotton goods. Last year the
Dutch islands absorbed cotton goods
from Japan worth 78,273,0O0 yen
(about s23 ,481 5000.
Japan'S cotton sales In the Dutch
Indies in 1888 surpassed those of
the home country. The Dutch au-
apply the quota system to protect the
home industries. restricting certain
classes of goods, which came princi-
pally from Japan.
Another measure which the Dutch
plan to put into effect is a licensing
system for all merchants in the In
dies. Exclusion of Japanese mer-
chants is believed certain to meet
with the objection of the Japanese
at the conference.
May Agree to Quotas.
The Nippon delegation probably will
agree to accept quotas on some classi-
fications of cotton goods, provided
the 1888 returns are taken as a basis.
Promises by Japan to increase pur-
chases of Dutch Indian products,
principally sugar, are likely to be
made.
If the 65O00,OoO japanese, who
drink several hundred million cups
of unsweetened green tea each day,
could be persuaded to slip a few
grains of sugar into each cup, solution
of the commercial problems with the
Dutch would be much easier, Koki
Hirota, japanese foreign minister,
believes. He himself is conducting
a one-man "eat more sugar" cam
paign.
Japan already obtains as much
sugar as she needs at home from
Formosa, but her sugar magnates
believe they may be able to refine
Java sugar for re-export to Man
chukuo and China.

ship; but he vOuld have led in
the radical direction"
Wholly Repugnant
No clean minded, clear headed
and honest hearted American
can imagine Lincoln as a Sen
ator condemning men presumed
to be innocent before they had
been proven guilty, or before
they had been given a chance
to be heard in their own defense.
No such American can imagine
Lincoln as a Representative in
Congress resorting to gag rule to
prevent the respectful petition
of any citizen, however high or
low his walk in life, being given
a place in the public record OF
Congress.
No such American can imagine
Lincoln sniping the memory Of
those heroic Defenders with the
Colors who went so gallantly to
an unnec ceSSary death by
speeches on the floor of Con-
gress, or elsewhere, belittling
their sacrifice and seeking to
soil the bright page of history
that immortalizes their memory.
or by insinuating that they did
not know how to fly the Colors
or that they did not obey orders.
CoWardice and slime of this
sort was wholly repugnant to
the spirit Of Lincoln. The mire
of such politics never soiled his
boots. He preferred always, un-
less the gravity Of the emergency
prevented, to investigate before
he acted, to presume man i'll
nocent until he had been proven
guilty by due process Of law, to
deny to no man, however rich
or poor, high or low, his day in
court, his chance to hearing
before he was condemned.
If the present Congress and
the present Administration
profit by their mistakes of their
first year Of power they will
face them with candor. &C
knowledge them with humility
and strive with a new earnest
ness not to repeat in their sec
ond year of power the mistakes
they made in the year just
ended.
If this comes to pass, those
gallant officers of the Army Air
Corps, who were trained to fly
the Coiors and were sent to an
unnecessary death before they
were given a chance to train
or be equipped to fly the mails,
may not have died in vain.
