Peru's Boundary

In regard to the declara-
tion of the Government Of
Ecuador to consider null and
void the protocol Of peace,
friendship, and boundary
limits between Peru and
Ecuador, signed in Rio de
Janeiro in 1912, I would like
to make the following state
ment:
The protocol of Rio Y de
Janeiro put a definite end to
the secular controversy over
the boundary between Peru
and Ecuador. It's compliance
rests with the good faith Of
the two countries and with
the guarantee Of four other
American countries: Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile, and the
United States; therefore, the
intention of the Ecuadorian
Government in considering it
null and void, because it feels
like doing it, is inadmissible
and will meet with the most
energetic refusal from both
my government and my coun-
try's people, who will insist
on strict compliance with the
protocol and will not permit,
because of'any motive or pre-
text, putting in Judgment
both their legitimate and
consecrated rights.
This treaty was subscribed
to by the two governments,
Peruvian and Ecuadorian,
and was ratified by the con-
gress of both governments
when peace was re-estab-
liShed. Its execution has been
guaranteed by the four coun-
tries mentioned above be-
sides having been executed by
a mixed commission Of de-
marcation, both Peruvian and
Ecuadorian. It is q matter
that has been sanctioned and
terminated. The unilateral
action of Ecuador in not
recognizing this can not in
validate the protocol nor
modify the attitude Of my
country in having it respec-
ted, by any means which may
be judged opportune and
convenient.
The protocol Of Rio did not
take from Ecuador a square
inch Of territory; on the con-
trary, it favored Ecuador by
not considering in the limits
which it set between the two
countries all the territory
originally comprised in the
three provinces of Tumbes,
Jaen and Mainas when these
were incorporated into Peru
in 1921,
The time has come when
the four guaranteeing count
tries, in compliance with the
Rio protocol, should act in an
effective and definite manner
in order to avoid any possible
armed conflict between the
two countries and the threat
Of breaking the peace of the
hemisphere by the strange
and censurable conduct of
Ecuador in not recognizing,
unilaterally, the Rio protocol.
General Manuel A. Ordia,
Former President of Peru

ther is 1t to say that despite his defense

Democratic spending promises on one
shoulder and balanced budget on the

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

SUCCESS: Chemist Louis
Pasteur, whose experiments
saved the French beer indus
try. never could develop q
taste for beer.
One day, after months Of
testing. he and his assistant
were satisfied that their work
was done. The assistant drew
two glasses from the vat. He
tasted the beer in his glass
and smacked his lips appre-
ciatively.
Success at last, Louis!"
he exclaimed. This beer is
perfect"
Pasteur took a sip and
made a face. Then he with
drew a drop and placed it
under the microscope.
Scientifically, you're
right" he said. But it still
tastes terrible"
EVEN: During his six years
as Army Chief of Staff, Gen.
George c. Marshall recon-
mended 1000 officers for the
rank of general. When World
War II ended, he had to de-
mote 800 of these officers to
their permanent lower rank.
He approached this task
with no little reluctance.
You're still ahead OF the
game said an aide, trying
to comfort him. You made
1000 friends"
Il figure I broke even,"
said Marshall. II made 800
friends and 800 enemies"

classes at night. That keeps
me pretty busy, but not too
busy for dating.
Until recently all my dates
were with college men and
graduates. However, a few
months ago 1 started going
out with a man of "a, WHO
has never been tc college.
When / speak to him about
it he laughs and says he is
making and will make more
money than most of the COL
lege men he knows.
I find myself strongly at
tracted to Dan and I think
he feels the same. I believe
he'll soon ask me to marry
him and I want to say yes.
But my parents have been
against the whole thing.
They think it can't work.
Mrs. L.R.-With all the
'good-looking and highly in
telligent men Louisa has
gone out with, I can't figure
out why she has picked on
this Dan. He's handsome,
but he's not the only one.
It's very bad for the wife
to have more education than
the husband. 7 have a COL
lege degree myself and I
would never go out with any,
one but a college man. I
don't see why a college girl
shouldn't be able to find a
man from her own group.
Louisa is too eager for mar
riage. She can wait another
couple of years. Why hurry2.
In the meantime she'll meet
many more eligible men. We
feel her attraction to Dan is
just physical.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Wen agree that persons
on the same educational level
tend to have similar interests
and standards and both are
needed in a successful mar
riage, but it is certainly a mis-
take to be as rigid as these
parents are on that point.
These parents haven't
looked at Dan on his own
merits and have instead used
a very haphazard measuring
rod-the college degree. This
degree is no guarantee of
character or intelligence and
the lack of it indicates very
little about the man.
The L. RS should, instead,
be willing to try to know this
man for himself and get
Louisa to do the same. Lousia
should ask herself whether
she can be happy with a man
who thinks of education

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Fight for Sight Has Real Champ
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

I SHOOK HANDS with a
true champion a few nights
ago. It gave me a greater
thrill than a hand-clasp
from Jack Dempsey or Rocky
Marciano. The champ I met
is only about s. 3"-but I'd
bet against anybody whip
ping her. Yes, it's a her.
Let me fill in some Of the
background material.
Invited to the birthday
party of an old friend but
still quite young) all I heard
from my friend was: "You
are in for a treat. You are
going to meet one Of the
most wonderful people I
know. Wait until you see
her" (She was less interested
in her party than in this
invited guest.)
! waited and was not dis
appointed. A smiling lady
came in on the arm of a
gentleman. Her face was
benign and kindly. Her eyes
looked directly at me, they
turned from side to side as
she made small talk. Then
she went among the group
Of our hostess friends visit
ing each for a few minutes.
Somehow the room was
SUMMER and brighter for her
presence. What a happy,
wonderful human being she
is. I said to myself.
It wasn't until she was
asked to speak that I learned
she Is completely blind.
AS she related it, the fate
full day was September 8,
1858. She was driving her
car when suddenly every
thing began to go fuzzy. At
first she thought it was a
fainting spell. She pulled
over to the side of the road.
Later she was driven home.
Her sight has never re-
turned.
Here is the irony of it.
Mrs. Rhoda M. Levine was
the first president of the
Greater Miami League of
Fight for Sight when it was
formed in February 1856.
At that time, when she was
making the good fight for
other unfortunates, she her
self was a healthy woman.
BLINDNESS, for her, was
q humane cause-not a per-
sonal problem.
But there isn't an ounce
Of bitterness in her system.
I shall never forget how
she said these words when
she talked to us that night:
God is good to all of U.S."
And she repeated it, and
repeated it. And you knew
she meant 1t.
All she wants to do now,
more than ever, is to save
you and me and millions of
others from losing our sight.
She is frank and honest in
saying that raising money is
the shortest line toward that
goal.
l told her I would try to
bring her cause before as
many people as I could. She
thanked me effusively-as if
], not she-were making the
great contribution. She has
just sent me some of the
latest statistics on eye dis
eases.
Il the United States, 70
@lnlon people have defective
eyesight. Some 334, 900 Amer
leans are blind. One out of

sure, do more to lose friends
who are bold enough to try
this dish.
Here are my findings,
which I have worked out and
found to be the most appeti-
zing and most popular with
my friends.
Cut up 2 large onions and
about 4 cloves of garlic:
brown in about 8 tablespoons
OF olive oil. When brown.
add a whole can Of curry
powder and meat, chicken or
shrimp. whichever you are
using.
When this is well Drowned
and covered with curry pow
der. add salt. pepper. a dash
Of tumeric, about " teaspoon
ground ginger and l con-
tainer Of yogurt, with about
half q can Of tomato paste
and about 1 cup Of water.
Simmer this with small adj
ditions Of water until meat
is quite tender and the gravy
thickened. This is always
better made a day in adj
vance, for the flavors are
more blended and subtle the
next day.
Serve with plain white rice,
rice pilaf or brown rice. Little
dishes Of chopped onions and
tomatoes sprinkled with
lemon Juice, chopped hard
boiled eggs, and chutneys are
excellent accompaniments.
The braver souls, II inter-
eSted, could experiment with
the imported curry pastes
found at a 18th street shop.
where, I am told, the Paki-
stan and Indian Embassies
buy all their ingredients. OF.
course you would cut the
amount of curry paste down
to about 8 tablespoons. as
this is q much stronger blend.
May you enjoy making this
as L have all these many
years.
