Inland Sea of Japan One of Worlds
Greatest Natural Beauty Places

famous melody, and so we have IL

the japanese or Chinese ports that
the ship touches.
japanese villages nestle close to the

so small a patch of ground can sup

Sea Alive With Ships.
The sea is alive with vessels carry
ing the rising sun flag of Japan
vessels headed for the miniature ports
of the Inland Sea and others headed
for London, South America, Man
churia, China, the United States and
Australasia.
While the remainder of the world
has been crying depression this amaz-
ing country has been building ships
and manning them and sending them
out with their cheap goods to swamp
the markets of the world.

jet in the entry through hole in the
door. Mr.. Jones had at this time his
red-cotton handkerchief which he still
retains. With such surroundings and
his long silence at the first of the ses-
sion, the impression obtained that he
was harmless. But one day his oppor-
tunity came. An exciting political dis
cusSion arose in the House and Mr.
Jones took the floor. He made a most
eloquent speech. commanding the ap-
plause and attention Of both Repub-
licans and Democrats. 1t was full of
good sense and possessed a certain
quaint old-fashioned humor that took
the House by storm. Since that time
Mr.. Jones has had a different status
at Washington, has made several
speeches and always comes out strong
on election cases His Washington ex-
perience has improved him. He now
dresses like civilized citizen and has
lost much Of his Western roughneSS. It
is not every man that improves with
his experience in Congress.
Choice of House Seats.
Who has not heard of Pig Iron"
Kelley? He is sitting in his seat there
in the center of the House. 1t is the
best seat in the chamber, at least Mr..
Kelley thinks so. for he has chosen
it of all the others. Mr.. Kelley is
the Oldest member of the House, and
as such he is the only one who has
the right to a choice of seats. The
other members obtain theirs by gen.
eral ballot. Mr. Kelley in personal
appearance is very tall and very lean.
He is the nearest approach to skele-
ton in the House, with perhaps the
solitary exception of Judge Geddes OF
Ohio, who has absolutely nothing but
skin on his bones. Mr.. Kelley has
red face, grisly hair and beard. and
blue eyes surrounded by rose-red eye
lids. His shoulders are STOPPING and
he bends over as he sits at his desk.
Though 50 years of age. he is still
strong and active, and he is one OF
the most indefatigable workers at
Washington.

that of Kate Claxton. it does much

Mimics in the House.
It is strange how many men are
made fools by their resemblance to
those whom the world calls heroes.
How one man can want to be the ape
or counterpart of another is an enigma,
but that many do, all of us see every
day of our lives. There are notably
two such characters in the House. Mr..
King Of Louisiana is always posing as
Napoleon Bonaparte and Mr. Gambler
of Boston glories in his resemblance to
the poor, downfallen ex-senator Ros-
coe Conkling. Mr.. King does bear
striking resemblance to Napoleon. He

He cuts his hair la Bonaparte. and
bangs it in the same style, with a
heavy lock hanging down over his
forehead He is continually on the
pose. He walks with staggering,
military air, throws out his chest. and
ever and anon gives his Bonaparte
lock an affectionate pat.
When Mr.. Jones Of Texas came to
Washington he was about as raw a

was the typical Westerner Of the stage.
He wore woolen shirt, rawhide boots,
and showed not a sign of a cuff or a
collar He was entirely careless Of his
personal appearance and lived in a
second-class boarding house in little
back room up several steep flights OF
steps. His room looked as though it
had never been swept. 1t was meagerly
furnished and contained none OF the
modern improvements. There was no

LATIN AMERICAN DEBTS
HELD KEY TO RECOVERY
Bankers Loaned Too Much-Covern'
ments Unable to Pay Until Normal
Trade Is Restored.

, ment of imports, the payment Of their
foreign debts would continue to be
difficult until other countries were
able to receive Latin American prod
ucts in volume approaching that of
four years ago. Or until foreign cap
ital resumed its flow into them for
investment.
A foreign correspondent made an
appropriate description when he COM
pared this situation to that Of a man
with a large quantity of valuable mer-
chandise on his hands, who finds him
self unable temporarily to dispose of
the goods because of lack of demand,
and, consequently, unable to pay his
personal debts
Will Take Any Price.
The Latin American nations are
willing to liquidate their merchandise
at almost any price in order to Gre
ate flourishing international trade
and resume service on their debts.
This willingness of the Latin Amer
lean governments to comply with the
terms of their foreign obligations as
soon as conditions will permit should
not be overlooked Up to the present
time there has been no suggestion of
reputation on the part Of any south
ern republic. They have only decreed
temporary suspension of payments
on either interest or capital-in some
cases of both-until the worst of their
financial troubles is over.
There has been no deliberate intent
of defaulting, nor is there any desire
to extend this temporary suspension
Of payments indefinitely. Therefore,
the Latin American bonds now in de-
fault are not going to be total loss.
Economic conditions in Latin America
will improve, prices will gradually re-
covef-they are already beginning to
recover-and, when a reasonable de-
gree of normalcy has been attained.
the first thing to be cared for will
be the national credit.
Irrelevant of recent political changes,
the one consistent thought of the
Latin American governments has
been, and is today. that no repudia-
ton will occur and that every effort
will be made to resume service as soon
as world conditions make this pos
sible. This is not the case Of the
European war debts. Nor is it the
case of the Confederacy debts, which,
probably, will never be paid
Something else to be considered
when readjustment of the Latin
American debts is undertaken is the
fact that disclosure of the methods
employed in the negotiation of the
defaulted loans has placed much of
the responsibility on the bankers
shoulders Senatorial investigations
have shown that the Latin American
governments were all but dragged into
borrowing by the tempting offers of
bankers who suggested and promoted
public works, development Of natural
resources, arms purchases and finan-
cial enterprises with the sky as limit
Reckless borrowing was only made
possible by reckless lending.
Only if all these factors are taken
into consideration. namely, the world
Wilderness of the economic crisis, the
determination of the Latin American
governments to resume payments as
soon as practical, and the part of the
blame which is the bankers'-only
then, can a settlement of the Latin
American debts be attempted with

Flight of Lindbergh Ended Ill Feeling

wanted 10 go. Lindbergh replied:

der the circumstances where he
wanted TO go. Lindbergh replied:
ITO the Ambassador"
Weiss said to his chauffeur:
"A rAmbassadcr." d
1t was the Hotel Ambassador, Boul-
evard Haussmann, at which the
suite had been ordered for Capt.
Lindbergh. Commandant Weiss
chauffeur interpreted "a rAmbassa-
dor" quite literally. To him it meant
the American Ambassador. And to
the embassy Lindbergh went. where he
was received by Harlan Miller, secre-
tary to Ambassador Herrick. Mr..
Miller had awaited Mr.. Herrick's re-
turn. Assuming that the latter had
sent the young aviator ahead for stra-
tegic reasons, he summoned Mr.. Her
ricks valet, who provided Lndbergh
with room, bath, pajamas, bathrobe
and slippers. And it was thus rather
comfortably established in the en-
bassy that Ambassador Herrick found
the famous aviator upon his belated
return from LIE Bourget.
So far as can be recalled, it was not
recorded whether the Ambassador
brought the red roses back to Paris.
But one of the first things he did aft
er greeting Lindbergh at the embassy
was to cable the following message to
Lndbergh's mother at Detroit:
'Warmest congratulations. Your
Incompatible son has honored me by
becoming my guest. He is in fine con-
dition and is sleeping peacefully under
Uncle Sans roof
Won Hearts of French People.
When Lindbergh returned to the
United States and published a book
he was so overwhelmed with his posi-
ton as world hero that he could
not write of the honors heaped upon
him at home and abroad Con-
sequently, he asked FitZhugh Green
to contribute that part of the volume
which dealt with the receptions, first
in Paris, then Brussels. London, New
York and Washington. Green de-
scribed the three ensuing weeks after
the LIE Bourget landing as the great
est torrent Of mass emotion ever wit
messed in human history" More
newspaper words were written about
Lindbergh during that period than
anv single individual. His light did
not flare up and then diminish in bril-
lance. 1t kept on shining. 1t is
still shining years later and his ev-
cry move remains live news.
Capt. Lindberg's first move in Paris
under the guidance of Ambassador
Herrick was to visit Nine. Num-
gesser. mother of one of the lost
French flyers. This touched the
hearts of the French as deeply as his
refusal to accept for himself a large
gift of money to purchase a cup
commemorating his fight. He direct

TN ANY readjustment of inter-
American economic relations to
be attempted in the next few
i months, the problem Of outstand-
ing financial obligations Of Latin
American governments in Wall Street
will play an important role.
Revision of tariffs and conclusion of
reciprocal commercial agreements,
which were discussed in previous arti-
cles, will go far toward restoring the
normal flow OF trade between the two
Americas, but no integral solution to
the present ills of Pan-Americanism
can be fa,",d which does not include
a settlement OF the governmental
debts.
And no such settlement could be
fair or could aspire to b, permanent
unless certain considerations regard
ing the peculiar position Of the Latin
American governments involved are
borne in mind.
In the first place, 1t should be re-
membered that the southern republics
are the victims of a situation for
which they cannot be made re-
sponsible. The main cause of their
financial difficulties lies in the enor-
nous decline in the prices Of COM
moditieS and raw materials on which
their whole economic life was centered.
With a very few exceptions the
Latin American are countries depend
ing almost exclusively on one or two
single products The tremendous fall
in prices which has been the major
characteristic of the present crisis,
therefore, intensified by the evils OF
production, has upset the eco
nomic structure of nearly every one
of them, by cutting down to a half.
or a third, the price of the particular
commodity which constituted the
bulk of its exports.
Forced to Cut Budgets.
Depending largely on their exports
to cover their expenditures and meet
their foreign obligations, they have
been forced. by this uncomfortable de-
cline in values, to cut down their
budgets to a minimum, to create new
taxes, to compromise their credit.
Furthermore, as a result OF the COL
lapse of their buying power, the Latin
American governments have seen their
foreign obligations suddenly doubled
or tripled. For they are compelled,
TODAY, to sell two or three times as
much of their main products to get
the money required for the service OF
those obligations abroad. And-hereln
lies the rub-they cannot sell that
much, because there is no demand
that large.
Obviously, the governments them
selves cannot be blamed for crisis
Of this kind. Truly, governmental In
efficiency and extravagances might
have added to the seriousness OF the
situation in certain and well known
instances, but, in the main, it Is clear
the Latin American countries are the
victims of an economic phenomenon
beyond their control.
The most rigorous taxation and the
most drastic domestic economies Will
not produce foreign exchange-this is,
international money, unless it becomes
available through the avenues OF for

it was later possible to reconstruct
the story of how Lindbergh came to

Once rescued from the crowd and
its attention diverted successfully to
Harry Wheeler, Lindbergh was con-
cerned about his plane and was as
sured that it had been wheeled to a
hangar on the civilian side of the field
without much damage.
Commandant Weiss then sent word
to Ambassador Herrick that Lind
bergh was safe with him, and the
Ambassador having given up his ef-
forts to convince Wheeler that he
was Lindbergh, accompanied Weiss
messenger across the airfleld. This
was his first meeting with the young
aviator.
