AT the beginning of this school
year, President c. w. Torrance ap-
pointed committee to work out
certain policies which they
thought would be good for those
connected with Holmes Junior
college to work by. These were

them, singly, by popular vote.
The committee has finished its
work, and the policies are now
ready to be presented to the en-
tire faculty for passage or rejec-
ton as the case may be.
Those that are adopted that are
not self-explanatory will then be
explained in assembly by Mr..
Torrance. At that time copies will
be given to the students so that
they will clearly understand how
the administration stands on these
items.
The members of the Policy

mines was made by personnel

assigned from the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery Of the
U. s. Navy. AS a result. the
1947 contract provided for q
royalty OF 10 cents q ton on all
coal mined. The separate funds
for medical and hospital serv-
ices and general welfare were
combined under q single board
Of trustees.
Mine fatalities have been
steadily reduced as safety
measures have increased. In
1911, mine deaths were 1855.
BY 1885, this number had been
reduced to 1922. It has de-
clined steadily since then.
While mine accidents brought
temporary injuries to 101,093
in 1880, there were little more
than half this number-56.S00
in 1916.

Border Disputes
The interest Of such countries
as Colombia, Ecuador. Peru. Haiti
end others in the Havana discus
sions probably arises from the fact
that they have been involved in
several border disputes with their
neighbors. At the same time
Cuba, Panama, Mexico and others
have, at one time or another. been
involved in territorial or political
controversies with this country.
and their political leaders want to
keep themselves on the side of
those who are sensitive about past
reflections or intrusions upon
their sovereignty.
According to the Bogota reso-
luton, the purpose Of the meeting
in Havana is Ito study the situa-
ton of the colonies. possessions
and occupied territories existing
in America. and the problems re-
lated to su0h situations, whatever
their nature, with a view to seek
ing specific means of eliminating
both the colonization and the O.
cupation of American territories
by extracontinental countries" {"
Finally, the committee is sup
posed to submit a report on each
of such colonies, possessions and
territories to the Council of the
Organization of American States.
The OAS will then transmit these
copies to member states for their
information and study. But the
Havana group has already en-
tered into long-winded debates
and even recriminations about
who has the right to occupy and
govern what.

the Far East already slipping
away from them, Britain, Holland,
France and others are now con-
fronted with a campaign to de-
prive them Of their vast colonial
possessions in the New World.
Even the United States is being
challenged to give up Puerto Rico
and its Caribbean holdings. At
any rate, here is a movement, al
most unnoticed by us, which, If
successful. would not only change
the entire economic and >po-
litical setup in the New World
and add a dozen new members to
the American family Of nations.
but would yitally affect our own
military strategy and defense set
up.
This campaign is high lighted
by a conference of the American
Committee on Dependent Terri
tories, attended by representatives
Of IA Latin American countries,
now in session in Havana. The
Havana meeting was provided for
in a resolution adopted at the
ninth International Conference of
American States held III Bogota,
Colombia, in April of last year.
Although the scope of the COM
mittee's powers was greatly wat
cred down before the resolution
was finally adopted, and the
United States. Brazil and others
abstained from voting on it, it
provoked some of the most heated
debate heard at Bogota. Brazil
even made formal objection to
the measure which was included
in the final act of the ninth con-
ference. The United States, Uru-
quay. Brazil, Chile and others,
seven members of the pan-Ameri-
can family in all, are not repre-
sented at Havana.
Argentine Claims
The chief protagonist among
the Southern republics for the
elimination of colonial possessions
in the Americas is Argentina,
which for years has insisted that
the British-occupied Falkland
Islands in the far South Atlantic
are traditionally Argentine terri
tory taken from her forcibly by
Great Britain. Although Chile is
not participating in the Havana
meeting, both she and Argentina
have not only raised claims to
certain British held islands and
frozen atolls south of Cape Horn,
and even claimed rights in Little
America. they have actually estab-
lished military bases on two or
three Of these southerly islands.
Several times last year all three
countries made angry protests
and put up a show of force in that
region.
Lately Guatemala has been
equally as ardent as Argentina in
opposing European colonialism in
this hemisphere, because she feels
very deeply over British occupa.
ton of the Central American ter
ritory of British Honduras, in
which Mexico also registers GER
tain claims. Romulo Betancourt,
former strong man of Venezuela.
now in exile after the recent over
throw of the Gallegos admins
tration. and who headed the
Venezuelan delegation at Bogota,
was another outspoken delegate on
the subject. Venezuelan politi-
clans have never been resigned to
British occupation of British
Guiana Oh their eastern border.
Betancourt and Gallegos, too,
for that matter, have been open
advocates of independence for
Puerto Rico. Just a few weeks
prior to his spectacular visit to
