agreements. Later he took time from 2 busy law practice to attend the 1928 Pan-A American Conference at Havana, and the Bolivian Paraguayan peace con- ference of 1929 fin Washington. As Chief Justcie, he spent part of a hot Washington summer settling boundary dispute be- tween Honduras and Guate- mala.
 When the State Department of- fered to pay him for this, he de- clined. "The members of the Su- preme Court" he said, should take care of these diplomatic chores"
 But last week, when long dis tance phone call came from San- tiago, Chile, asking him to settle the fate of three islands in the far-off Straits of Magellan be- tween Argentina and Chile, he asked to be excused. Now seventy six years old, the Chief Justice said the work of the Supreme Court monopolized all his spare time.
 So after several hours of searching, the State Depart ment located Attorney General Cummings on the golf course at Pinehurst, N. C., and he ac- cepted.
 NOTE-Every morning before work the Chief Justice takes g. walk several blocks around his house, even in the bitterest wea- ther this winter.
 Spanish War
 One of the most phenomenal lobbying drives in many years oc- cured last week with the arrival of delegations from all over the country to urge the lifting of the Spanish arms embargo.
 Washington has seen all kinds of lobbying farmers interested in crop payments, veterans demand ing the bonus, and business in- terests anxious for tariff boosts, tax cuts, or the death of the holding corporation bill.
 But seldom before has Wash ington seen people spend money to come from all over the coun- try on a cause from which they would receive no material benefit. Last week delegations besieged the doors of the State Depart ment from as far west as Color ado and as far south as Florida, asking that the Spanish embargo be lifted.
 One delegation, from Tampa and Miami, Florida, visited Rep resentative Sam McReynolds of Tennessee, pontifical chairman of the House Foregin Affairs Com mittee.
 T don't care what the people of this country want" he de- claimed, q am not going to have this embargo lifted. No matter what the Senate does, or what the House wants to do, I am going to protect the peace of the world. As chairman of this committee I shall permit no discussion of this resolution"
 NOTE-McReynolds referred to the Nye ersolution eliminating "civil strife" from the Neutrality Act. He admitted that he received 1000 letters against the embargo last week.
