trine. 1t would never be called that
in Japan, and it would cause no par
ticular worry in the United States or
in China, if it were really replica of
our own Monroe Doctrine. After all,
that much misunderstood policy is
simply an assertion that the United
States will not permit any foreign
nation to gain political control of any
one OF the independent American ma
tions. 1t gives no right to interfere
in the domestic affairs of any one Of
these nations; it has no suggestion Of
imperialism; it does not imply any
economic domination or any restric-
ton of trade. The American Gov
ernment makes no protest if Bolivia
hires German officers to train her
army or If some other country buys
French airplanes.
If Japan proclaimed a true Monroe
doctrine for the Far East 1t would
have no meaning except that Japan
would prevent. if it could, any new
acquisition of territory on the part OF
Europe or America in the Orient. 1t
would have no more effect on Ameri-
can supremacy in the Philippines or
French supremacy in Indo-Ch;na or
Dutch in Java than our own Monroe
Doctrine has on the French owner
ship of Guiana or the British OF
Jamaica. China might be annoyed at
having its political integrity guaran-
teed by Japan, because China shuts
its eyes to it's own weakness; but in
spite of this it would be safer than it
Is now.
The trouble is that the japanese
thesis is not a true Monroe doctrine
if the statements already unofficially
published are true. If officially pro-
claimed it would be rather a declara-
ton of supremacy in the Orient. of
the right to interfere at will in the
domestic affairs of neighbor nations.

Italian Who Loaned
Cash for Drink Fined

ROME, Italy.-Students Of liquor
control who have been investigating
the Swedish and Canadian systems
ought to visit PosSano. The police
magistrate there fined Lorenzo Ber-
tano 100 lire for being drunk and dis
orderly-but sentenced his cousin.
Chiaffredo Villa, to three months i'm
prisonment for having loaned Lorenzo
the money with which to acquire the
state which caused his misfortune.

instance In which treating has been

loans has proven to have been In
adequate, which, in such instances,
has amounted to a bailing out, as it
were. But were the impression well
founded it would be a bad precedent
and unworthy to be followed, as there
would have to be an end to such as
matter of necessity, for the Gov
ernment's ability to pay would soon

The Government owes it to its cit
izens to see that none actually suffer
for food, clothing and shelter and
that the conditions of general welfare
are maintained on a high plane. But
to take from the many to make good
the losses of the few is nothing short
OF plain, though dressed up, robbery.
Furthermore, it would soften and
inervate the character of the Amer
lean people by further encouraging
them to look to others to enable them
to avoid the consequences Of their
acts or the errors of Judgment.

INTERNAL political disturbances in
/ Latin America have been the
cause of more than one setback
L in the relations Of the Unitet
States with the republics south
Of the Rio Grande.
An appraisal of the prospects which
the new Pan American year" has in
store would not, therefore. be COM
plete without a survey of domestic
political conditions in the various
Latin American countries. In previ-
GUS articles, We have reviewed some
of the outstanding questions which,
as the so-called Pan American year"
began last April IA, appeared likely to
test the Latin American policies Of
the United States in the months to
come.
Aside from those specific questions.
however, there is. also. potential
source of new conflicts in the charged
political atmosphere prevailing today
in several of the Southern republics.
Not only because new internal COM
motions will bring up, again, the deli
cate problems of recognition and nom
recognition, but because, judging from
recent trends, some of the threatened
upheavals might also bring complica-
tions in matters involving the pro-
lection Of foreigners, their interests
and their property.
Mexico Enjoys Stability
Curiously enough this is not the
case with Mexico, the nearest Latin
neighbor of the United States. Mex
leo used to be the country invariably
associated in the mind of the average
newspaper reader with revolutions,
political plots and almost continuous
external friction resulting from the
former. Today few countries in Latin
America enjoy greater political sta
bility than Mexico. This is due. not
merely to the existence of a strong
government, as is commonly known,
but also to the fact that that govern
ment has deviated from the tradi-
tional course OF all strong regimes and,
consequently, has not alienated its
popularity. Instead of being orthodox
and reactionary, the party in power
has constantly marched ahead; pro-
,moting and enacting social legislation;
spreading education; improving the
status of the Indian; needing, as far
as it thought it could, the clamor for
change and reform which has been
characteristic Of the Mexican people
for the past two decades. It's very
name-the National Revolutionary
party-is typical of its progressive po-
litical theology.
OF course, this phenomenon of a
revolutionary party which, once in
power, still keeps on being revolution
ary could not have been possible with
out strict internal discipline and lead
ership. This has been provided by
Gen. Gales, the power behind all
the more recent Mexican govern
ments, and a man decidedly, though
continuously, inclined to the left.

For the little girl who wears cot
ton frocks all year round, this de-
sign will be charming in sturdy
bright bingham, but the little ruffle
will set beautifully in wool as well.
Challis is a nice material for little
girls dress, since it has slight adj
ditional warmth and it washes beau
tifully. The ruffle at the edge of the
yoke is not indispensable, as the
back view shows. Any child who
wears this frock will look at least
an inch taller than she is, because
of the long unbroken front panel

have yen for that, these days.

Newspapers openly charged brib- cry of government officials. The owners of the Maiotis, pressed by | the government for details of the charter of the ship by the aged utilities magnate, intimated strong ly that M. J. Mountsouridas, who
 was dismissed yesterday as min-
 ister of interior, acted as inter-
 mediary.
 Government officials, from the
 cabinet down, wrangled over their
 course as to Insull.
 Premier Tsaldaris, anxious to end the months of uncertainty, was
 for deporting him aboard the liner Aquitania Tuesday. The liner, on
 a cruise, is due at New York April 10, after making several Medi- terranean halts.
 However, Demetrius Giannopou- los, the new minister of interior,
 and official in charge of Insulls
 case as the general director of all police and deportation activities,
 said today that Insull would be permitted to leave the country
 within "A hours after the Maiotis'

CWA URGED TO
 WAR ON CROWS
Oklahoma Farmers De- mand Action From Fed=
 eral Government

Oklahoma City, (UP)-Oklaho- ma farmers are petitioning the fed eral government to declare war on crows.
 Millions of the black birds infest the state, to such an extent, the farmers assert that they constitute a real menace to growing crops such as spring wheat.
 While fields, they say, have lit orally been turned black as the crow hordes swooped down to feast upon tender growing shoots Of wheat, rye or other grains.
 The farmers have also pointed out that crows, scavenger birds. are a menace to livestock, carrying cholera and other diseases from one infested feed pen to "clean" farmers.
 The farmers recently, through Dr. Louis Ritzhaupt, Guthrie State senator, petitioned the Civil Works Administration to set aside sum to be used in paying bounty on slaughtered crows.
 A large number of farmers, writing to newspapers, have voiced intentions of writing the Con- gressman'' to secure direct action through Washington channels.
 At Shawnee, club devoted eX- clusively to shooting crows was organized recently, as farmsre and city people in that section prepared for determined effort to rid that vicinity of the birds.

FEARS PLAGUE OF CLUNCH BUGS
Nebraska Counties Facing Worst InfestatiOn in
 Thirty Years

Lincoln, Neb-(UP)--Mor than 20 Nebraska counties are faced with threat of the most severe chinch bug infestation in 30 years, according to predictions of M. H. Swenk, entomologist of the Uni versity of Nebraska.
 Severe temperatures of< late winter have not reduced the threat of infestation, Swenk said. And the danger is not to Nebraska alone, but to the entire grain belt from Ohio to Nebraska, he said.
 Center of the area, Swenk said will probably be 20 counties in southeastern Nebraska, The only hope for destruction of the dam- aging insect pests is succession of severe freezes and thaws.
 Areas of the state which have been plagued with grasshoppers during the past several years are also warned that repittition of the devastating insect invasions of the past two years may be expect ed again unless the weather comes to the rescue.
 Passage of a bill to provide a federal fund with which to fight grasshoppers is being urged strongly in sections of Nebraska South Dakota and Minnesota where damage was greatest. Swenk said.

Veterans League
 Endorses Carroll
Local Branch Elects McGrath, Commander
 Complaints Against CWA

fifth congressional district met at the local Y. NJ. C. A. and elected George L. McGrath of this city their commander.
 The Waterbury branch of the organization has gone formally on record as endorsing the drive to have Major J. William Carroll of this city nominated for the state senate from the 18th district. The belief that the league will endorse Congressman Goss is current be- cause of the fact that the organ ization backed him two years ago despite his anti-bonus stand.
 Last nights meeting was given over largely to the discussion of complaints of veterans who have been laid off from the CWA. The league voted to protest against lay ing off any veteran with depend ents. Another meeting will be held by the league next week at which any veteran with a complaint will be welcome to appear before the organization and state his case.
 In letter to the league, Dr Ed ward T. Curran of New York. na- :ional commander, urged the nom- I1dlioii oI MdJoI OdTIoil loT tHe senatorial post. Tt will please us down here in Manhattan if we hear and know that he is elected sen- ator for the 18th district" wrote Dr Curran.
 "It is unnecessary to add that the democratic candidates and the democratic party must and shall be defeated at all coming elections,' he stated in his letter, also. Tt is the only way to insure the return of sanity to the American type of constitutional government"

 Although the sweeping rise in current income taxes, which are this month, arc being paid on 1933 expected to reach $25O, 100000 incomes other tax yields show bus:- ness improvement over the past few weeks.
 Miscellaneous internal revenue" representing various business turn over taxes such as gasoline, cig- arettes, automobiles and admis- sions as well as liquor revenues amount to $62, 100000 in the first IA days of March, or on a par with similar collections in Febru- ary. Last year they amounted only $2S, ,000.
 Encouraging gains are noted in other revenues. Customs collections rose to $12,000,0o0 from only $3,- 500,000 a year ago.
 Increased world trade is noted in a rise in Panama Canal tolls from $599, ,000 to slightly over $1,000,000. Income tax collections in the first IS days of March were $147 ,794,- 000, against $99,S47, 900 in the cor responding period of last year.
