forced calm to this town tonight after
"a hours Of mob spirit during which

of the mob.

ternational Cooperation, an organiza-
ton Of white and colored, working for
racial harmony, addressed q telegram
to President Roosevelt which said the
lynching involved interstate kidnapping
and you are implored to use Federal
agencies to the limit in apprehension
and punishment Of the kidnaper
murderers."
Victim Taken In Alabama.
The man, Claude Neal, charged with
attacking anu staying a white woman,
was taken from the Brewton, Ala,
jail and brought across the Florida
line to Greenwood. where he was
killed.
The telegram to Attorney General
Cummings was signed by Jessie
Daniel Ames, executive director Of the
Association Of Southern Women for
the Prevention Of Lynching, and said
the victim Of the lynching in Florida
was kidnapped from Alabama"
The International Labor Defense In
New York sent kilograms to President
Roosevelt and to Gov. Sholtz and Gov.
B. M. Miller Of Alabama condemning
the lynching. Punishment of all citi-
Zens implicated was demanded.

Is outworn and useless. 1t Is a uni
lateral. egotistic policy, and exclusively
of the United States. 1t has arrested
the real pan-Americanism of equal
rights and mutual obligations. 1t has
been violated and disregarded with the
knowledge and, at times. the conniv-
ance of the United States. 1t has
been distorted to serve as an instru-

States. 1t has been misinterpreted
and misapplied to cloak the interven-

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

Among books of international sig
nificance published this season is a
volume by CASTOR Nerval, special
week by the Mcmillan Co, New York.
The title is Autopsy Of the Monroe
Doctrine" and the theme is the pro-
posed replacement of the traditional
policy of the United States toward
Central and South America by a
program of "joint responsibility in
which, the author argues, "for the
first time the 81 American republics
would share not only apparently equal
rights, but mutual obligations as well,
and equal duties"
Nerval's real name Is Raul Diez de
Medina. He was born at La Paz,
Bolivia His father is Eduardo Diez
de Medina, former Bolivian Minister
to the United States and now ad-
wiser to the foreign Office of his gov
ernment. The profession Of his an
cestors on both sides has been
diplomacy, and service to the Bolivian
state is the tradition of his clan.
Was Diplomat Himself.
With this background, he was edu-
Gated at home, in Argentina, Peru,
Chile and other South American
countries in which his father sue
cessively was Bolivian representative.
The atmosphere of his childhood and
early youth was that of international
negotiation. Finally, he was appointed
to the Bolivian diplomatic service in
his own right. His first assignment
was as attache at Lima; then from
1928 to 1880 he was secretary of the
legation in Washington.
Soon after arriving in Washington
he called on the managing editor Of
The Star and arranged to write q
column on inter- American relations.
He wrote under the name of CASTOR
Nerval, but in diplomatic circles a
curiosity developed as to his real iden-
tity. Then an article appeared in The
Star which could be traced to him,
and the secret was out. He decided
to abandon his diplomatic career in
favor Of literature.
