New frontiers for American enter
prise and capital may be found in the
Latin American countries, but the bette
noir of appropriation is always to be con-
sidered. In Mexico, for instance, the
American pioneer devoted for many years
his energy, his intelligence and capital to
develop the oil industry. only to have the
government assume ownership and con-
troll without making provisions beforehand
for payment OF course, powerful Tic
Samuel could prevent the seizure but that
would lead to MISUNDERSTANDING and cries
of imperialism" at time when the Latin
should be probably cultivated as good
neighb0r.

The American-controlled Northwest
ern Railway of Mexico wants to sell to the
government of Mexico. Low revenues and
increasing demands of employees for high
er wages are given as the reason. Motor
driven trucks and automobiles are giving
railroads the coup de grace, just as radio
is hamstringing the newspapers.

with a view to regulating questions
arising therefrom"
The Lithuanian delegation arrived
In Berlin tonight.
The German storm troopers halted
the frenzied flight of Jews and other
refugees from the little territory.
The Lithuanian Army began grad
ual evacuation Of Memel. The state
OF emergency declared by the gov
ernment resembles martial law. OF.
ficials said one reason it was pro-
claimed was to facilitate withdrawal
OF the Lithuanian troops.
The customs house at Pogegen in
Memelland. just across the East
Prussian border. was occupied by
members of the German Sa storm
troop units.
This afternoon the Memel radio
station was broadcasting German
Military marches. Nazis in Memel
City were rushing preparations for
q triumphal entry of German troops
whenever they arrive. Instructions
to Sa formations also were broad
cast.
Lithuania's "navy'-the converted
German minesweeper Prezidentas
Smetona-left Memel for an undis-
closed destination. The ship now
has no Lithuanian port to which it
can go.
Lithuania Calls Reservists.
The Lithuanian government called
up reservists to fill vacancies in the
army, depleted by the release of
Memel conscripts from service.
The finance ministry suspended
temporarily the withdrawal of bank
deposits.
A Lithuanian defense ministry
omcial declared that German Storm
Troops crossed the frontier at Skir-
vyte, that they disarmed Lithuanian
frontier police, stopped freight cars
and trucks carrying refugees and
property out of Memel and forbade
all to leave the territory.
Their activities, this official said,
virtually stopped the exodus of
refugees. He declared that Storm
Troopers even occupied the Memel
| lighthouse.
Delirious Rejoicing.
There was no telephone communi-
cation before noon between Kaunas
and Memel, 80 miles from the East
| Prussian border, but roundabout
communications told of delirious re-
joicing by Germans in the be-
tagged streets of Memel, the port
city. Lithuanians wept openly
From Tilsit. East Prussian town
on the now erased frontier, thou
sands Of Germans poured into Me-
melland after the government COM
munique announcing the "libera-
ton" of the territory was broad
cast by radio.
They marched, with swastikas
waving and heils soaring, over the
Memel River Bridge to nearby Poge-
gen, where the townspeople greet
ed them wildly.
Grim faced Lithuanians were
moving branches of the Bank of

Windows in Memel Haunted the
Swastika and people milling in the
streets carried tiny flags and bou-
Quets of flowers.
Dancing, singing girls ran through
the cobbled roadways while a huge
German bomber drohed low over
the city. All Memel factories and
schools were closed in the general
holiday atmosphere.
Does Not Expect Help.
The Lithuanian government. by
its decision to surrender Memel
bloodlessly. made it plain that it
did not expect any help from the
signatories Of the Memel conven-
ton. This convention was signed
May 8, 1924, by Lithuania, Britain,
France, Italy and Japan. 1t placed
the territory under Lithuanian soy
ereignty but with large measure
of local autonomy.
The decision to hand back Memel
to Germay followed day of intense
diplomatic activity. The British
Charge d'Affaires, T. H. Preston, was
among callers at the foreign min
istry yesterday.
Lithuanians had been prepared
for today's shock by rumors circu-
culating for several days Rail-
way station coaches in Memel were
loaded with military equipment last
night, the first indication of the
evacuation of Lithuanian troops.
Ultimatum Reported.
Victor Gailus, Lithuanian governor
Of the Memel territory, had said last
night that Germany delivered a
virtual ultimatum to gain cession
of the territory.
Gailus said his government was
told that, if disturbances occurred
before the transfer, German troops
would march in to restore order.
The return from Berlin Of For
eign Minister Urbsys with a report
of his conversation with the German
Foreign Minister, Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, apparently hastened the
decision by the cabinet.
A communique last night said that
Urbsys ION his return from Berlin
informed the cabinet ministers of
the results of his conversation with
Won Ribbentrop. Won Ribbentrop
presented on the Reich's behalf a
demand for the return of Memel to
Germany, adding that if effected
amicably Germany would take into
consideration the economic interests
of Lithuania in the Harbor of
Memel
This demand was based by Won
Ribbentrop on the principle of self
determination of nations.
Won Ribbentrop further intimated
that the mood in Memel was such
that the question had to be settled
rapidly on the basis proposed by
Germany to avoid clashes"
