Capper 10 Present
D. T.. Vote Resolution
To Congress Again
Sentiment for Suffrage
Growing, Senator
Says on Return
By ]. A. O'LEARY,

new drive for District suffrage
in the Congress convening next
week was urged to-day by Senator
Capper, Republican. of Kansas,
shortly after his return to the Capt.
tol.
Il will reintroduce my District
vote resolution" the Senator said,
referring to the proposed Constitu-
tional amendment he has sponsored
for number of years. The pro-
posal, known as the Capper-Norton
resolution, would empower Con-
Congress to grant Washington ma
tional representation In both branch
es of Congress, as well as In the
electoral college, and give District
residents the status of citizens Of q
State for the purpose of suing and
being sued in the courts Of the
United States.
II am convinced" Senator Capper
continued, that sentiment Is grow
ing stronger all the time for ex-
tending the right of suffrage to
this community"
Referendum Recalled.
The Senator said he believed the
referendum Of last April, in which
decisive majorities were recorded
both for national representation
and local suffrage, had impressed
members OF Congress that Wash
ingtonians want the right to vote.
The results of the referendum
were as follows:
National representation-For, ST.
092; against, 6,784.
Local suffrage-For, 80 2,971; against,
1O,757.
Recalling that there have been
other plans under consideration in
Congress besides his resolution, the
Kansan said hearings should be
held on all the bills" and some
action taken.
One of the other proposals is the
Lewis is-Randolph resolution, which
deals with both national repre-
sentation and local self government
Favors Health Funds.
The senator, who is ranking mi
nority member of the District Com
mittee and veteran ex-officio
member Of the Subcommittee on
District Appropriations, also went
on record for increased funds to
combat tuberculosis and otherwise
improve health facilities, In which
President Roosevelt indicated an in
terest yesterday.
Senator Capper said he still would
prefer some form Of income tax to q
sales levy to meet the city's revenue
requirements, but was out of touch

LIMA, Peru, Dec. 28.-United
States Secretary Hull sailed home
ward from the Eighth Pan-Amer-
ican Conference today after a fare
we'll warning last night that the 81
American republics must now put
their declarations of solidarity to
the test.
In much of the world trust in any
form of agreement has completely
vanished" the Secretary said, warn
ing that "the utmost degree of vigi-
lance" might be required in carry
ing out the conference decisions
outstanding of which was the af-
firmation of a firm front against
foreign aggression.
Test in "Grave Events"
The Secretary declared his faith
the republics would carry out their
program but spoke of the test of
grave events" along with the "con-
stancy and ardor" in upholding the
principles ION which peace and well
being under law and order must
rest"
Unlike previous American
conferences, no treaties or con-
ventions resulted that would require
consent of the United States Sen
ate. All the conference decisions
were in resolutions and declarations,
which will be published by the State
Department.
The Secretary said that the dec
larations rather than treaties were
wise when matters dealt with are
Of general character and of political
nature. The people of the American
republics have a proud history of
the use of declarations. Their ma
tional life has grown in and out
of declarations of independence
which mark their birth"

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 28.-A battalion OF
the French army's Senegalese
sharpshooters 1000 strong arrived at
Marseille today en- route to Djibouti
to strengthen the garrison of that
East African port, an objective OF
Italian clamor for French territory
The soldiers moved to the seaport
from camps nearby preparatory to
embarking on two liners due to sail
December 81 for the French So
maitland capital. They are the
Sphinx, whose departure. set for
today, was postponed to permit her
to carry troops, and the Chantilly.
The reinforcements were re-
quested by Gov. Gen. Hubert Des-
champs, officials said, to assist in
maintaining order" amid reports
that italian troops were being con-
centrated near the French Somali-
land port.
Djibouti Threat Believed Bluff.
The French press and the pub
lie were inclined to regard the Ital-
ian campaign for Djibouti as bluff
and to have confidence in France S
ability to defend her colonies.
Several conservative newspapers
limited their comment solely to a
government communique denying
reports of Italian troop concentra-
tions in Ethiopia and Eritrea, near
the border of French Somaliland.
The Left-wing press. the extreme
Right and some Centrists warned
the government against capitulation
to the Italian demands-unofici
and made through the controlled
Fascist press.
Government spokesmen, mean
while, left no doubt of Premier Da-
LADDERS determination to lead the
nation to war if Italy tried to seize
Djibouti.
AS a symbol Of French defiance,
the 1869 ton dispatch boat dTber-
Vile arrived before the Suez Canal
today on its way to Djibouti from
Beirut, Syria.
Italy's Force Overwhelming.
The dTberville, with its three SIS
inch guns, one seaplane and anti
aircraft batteries, could do little
against Italy's overwhelming force
In Ethiopia and Eritrea.
AS symbol, however, it meant
much, for French Army and Navy
of1cials made it clear that more war
ships and heavy. troop reinforce
ments would be rushed to Djibouti
If necessary.
As another symbol of what France
might do, officers of Frances famed
Foreign Legion formally opened a
vital new military road from Inner
Algeria to the inland frontier of
Italian Libya. The road connects
all the empires military garrisons in
the interior of Morocco and Algeria
with the border.

intimation that an arrangement
might be soon concluded. Main
opposition has come from the wal
and navy departments which fear
that if the United States grants
the Dutch landing privileges in
the Philippines Japan might ask
similar concessions. Japan has a
law barring foreign airlines from
landing on Japanese soil.
A high state department Off
cial said the arrangement with
the Dutch would be purely be-
tween the two governments which
means that no other government,
including Japan, will be consulted.
The Dutch airline would be re-
quired to follow circuitouS
route around American military
or naval establishments. The Unit
ed States airline will reciprocate
in kind.
Although no question of subsid-
les or actual operation have been
discussed, it is believed Pan
American airlines would extend
its present trans-Pacific service
to Netherlands India. The Dutch
Indies are considered among the
most important sources of stra-
tegic raw materials for the Unit
ed States, including crude rubber,
,pd essential drupS
Pan American meanwhile Is
understood TO be contemplating
early resumption of its projected
line to Australia and New Zea-

For the transatlantic service,
American airplane manufacturers
are rushing production of a new
super-liner, capable of making the
3,00O-mile, overseas hop. Pan
American officials are prepared
to start the ans-Atlantic service
as soon as the planes are finished,
whether or not government DOS
tai subsidy is provided.
The question of the subsidy has
been held up pending inVestf&a-
ton of monopoly charges by the
American export lines, and the eX-
pected passage of legislation al
