ARMS CURB MOVES
BEGUN AT CAPITOL
Roosevelt Requests Speedy
Senate Action on Three
Restrictive Plans.

A three-pronged move against war,
through curbing Of sale and ship
ment Of munitions, began at the
Capitol today, with President Roose-
velt urging speedy Senate action on:
/. A nine-year-old Geneva treaty
to limit international shipment Of
war implements.
2. A special resolution to prohibit
the sale of arms in the United States
to the Gran Chaco belligerents.
3. A resolution authorizing S5o,o0o
to fund the special Senate investiga-
ton looking toward new legislation to
curb abuses" in the munitions traffic.
Presses for Senate O.. X.
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee report
ed he would press steadily for early
Senate approval Of the 1925 Geneva
arms treaty. The President called
yesterday for this action to halt the
mad race in ornaments which If
permitted to continue, may well re-
suit In war"
Early Senate approval was pre-
dicted also for the special resolution,
transmitted by the State Department
at the Presidents request, to prevent
the sale of arms in this country to
either Bolivia or Paraguay for use in
their 50-year-old dispute over the
Gran Chsco.
An identic resolution will be intro
duced Monday in the House by Chair
man McReynolds of the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Under its provisions the President is
authorized to issue a proclamation
making it unlawful to sell any
arms or munitions of war in any place
in the United States to the countries
now engaged in that armed conflict. or
to any person, company or association
acting in the interest of either coun-
try"
Embargo Would Violate Treaties.
The Presidents authority was in
tentionally limited to prohibiting the
sale of arms in the United States" 1t
does not empower him to declare an
embargo on munitions shipments to
the warning nations.
The United States has treaties with
both Bolivia and Paraguay, it was ex-
planned at the State Department,
which would bring any embargo into
conflict with treaty provisions.
Passage of the resolution, how
ever, will make possible direct action
by the United States regardless of

RIO DE JANEIRO, May l9.-The
PERU Colombian contest for the jungle
border village of Leticia-a contest
which threatened at times to break
into open war-ended today with &C
ceptance of a Brazilian formula.
The formula which ends bitter
20-month-old dispute between the
two nations was drafted by Afranio de
Mello Franco, foreign minister of
Brazil.
Three major headings are embraced
in the agreement

customs and duties and the education

In announcing off1cially that the
formula had been accepted. Luis
Cano, Colombian representative in
negotiations here, said that ratifica-
ton Is assured.
He said there had been two cabi-
net designations to facilitate recon-
stitution of the government, and ex-
,, planned:
MY Interpretation is that the gov
ernment will fill the vacant portfolios
of public instruction and public works
to assure ratification of the Leticia
adjustment"
Cano emphatically denied that the
designations indicated any "abnor-
mality"
He showed a cablegram from the
newspaper Espectador, of which he is
the publisher, which read:
THE ministers merely resigned as
a measure of courtesy. President
Enrique Olaya Herrera left today to
ofhciate at the opening of new high
way. He will return Monday to study
the situation. Tranquility reigns."

TOXIC, May l9.-The oft-told tale
Of political disaster-betrayed by sub

about to unfold again today on the
japanese political stage.
Hideo Kuroda, vice minister OF
finance, was arrested on charges Of
corrupt financial practices and the de-
velopment was regarded as a serious
blow to the Saito cabinet.
Although nobody hints that Premier
Saito or other members Of the cabinet
are implicated personally in the Ku-
roda scandal. it is generally admitted
that the ministry has suffered.
The aged premier presented leo
nine front to the pack circling for the
political kill, denying the situation de-

foes already are discussing new cabi-
net states.
Vernacular newspapers described
Viscount Korekyo Takahashi, minister
of finance and hence Kuroda's chief,
as disheartened by today's disclosures
and ready to resign.
Many political writers predicted his
resignation would lead to the quitting
Of the cabinet as a whole.
