ESTABLISHED 1873 U.S. SAILOR KILLS THREE NICARAGUANS IN FIGH Changes in Operation of Pan-American Union to Be Proposed h-hat Scrappers From the Emerald Isle REFORMS ARE CONSTRUCTIVE, DELEGATES SAY Will Remove Ground For Ac- cusations That Union Is Influenced by U. S. RESULT OF YEARS’ STUDY Mexico, Peru and Argentina Delegations Prepare Pro- posed Alterations Havana, Jan. 23.—@)—Dissatis- faction in various Latin American countries with the operatio of the Pan-American union crystallized ,to- day in sweeping reform proposals. Three delegations »renared the proposals for presentation to the committee on Pan-American affairs of the Pan-American ccngress. Mexico, Peru, and Argentina an- nounced they would take th: lead in the matter with amendments which would remove the ground for accusa- tions that the Pan-American union, as now established in Washington, was to directly under the influence of the United States. Keep Suggestions Secret Honorario Pueyrredon, chairnan of the Ar zntine delegation and ambassador to Washington, said he d a scheme for sweeping reforms but would not reveal them before laying them before the committee. He said, however, that he had no desire to see the seat of the union transferred from Washington. he would state a: »ut his plans, how- ever, was tha they were construc- tive and based on manv year"’ activ- ity and study as a member of the governing board of the union. Peru’s delegation declined also to make public its suggestions in ad- vance of presentation. The Mexican proposal wo:lc af- fect the present organization of the union in four vital aspects: Four Im ortant Changes “First—Substitution of a govern- ing board elected by the various ‘governments for the present boaid ‘consisting of their ambassadors to Washington and the United States retary of state. This presumably is intended to avoid the possibility that members of the beard come too deeply under the shadow of the state department with which they conduct their business. Second—A ule specifically stat- ing that the chairmanship is to be bestowed on all countries in alpha- betical order. At p-esent the chi man is elected by the board and the practice has been to unanimously choose the United States secretary of state in compliment to the home government. Third — Rotation of the post of director-general, inst-a of the pres- ent permanent director-general as called for t the present coastitu- tion. The director general would be chairman of the various commit- tees which every country would es- tablish to deal with Pan-American affairs. Fourth — Forbidding the director general to hold any other political post, no matter in th: interests of what government, unless these were of a purely educational character. Rebuke to the U. 3. Many’ delegates view this last roposal as a rebuke to the United tates since Dr. Leo S. Rowe, pres- ent director-general, is » United States delegate to the congress. The Mexican government also wants the other appointments in the organization to be distributed more evenly among the various republics and to assure this all appointments would come directly from the gov- erning board.

The|* SES NAVY'S BUILDING PROGRAM AND TALK OF WAR WITH ENGLAND CALLED ‘SHEER MADNESS’ BY SENATOR BORAH, IDAHO Proposals Duplicate ‘Insane Policy’ That Marked Anglo- German Relations Prior to World War, He Contends— Ship Building Program Would Mean Increased Taxes Washington, Jan, 23.—(AP)—The proposals before congress for i greater navy and recent predictions of another war over commerce con. stitute “sheer madness,” in the opin- fon of Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, and duplicate the “insane policy” that marked Anglo-German relations prior to the war. Attacking as “mischievous to the last degree” the receht recommenda- tion of Admiral Charles F. Hughes, chief of naval operations, for vir- tually a billion dollar navy, and the statement Saturday attributed to Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, that a war with Great Britain over commerce is inevitable, the chairman of the senate foreir com- aan in a statem2nt last night said: Part of Plan For N val Race “All tifis is a part of a well or- ganized plan to prepare the public mind for a ral race. A limited number of c! ts, to help polics our commerce, can be justified. Brt this program, together with the wild and excited statements about war, heer madness.” ‘Those who must pay the taxes and do the fighting and dying in case these people succeed in bring. ing on war,” he said, “ought not to delay in taking part in this pro- gram. They are entitled to be heard before this mad policy be- comes fixed.” “Admiral Plunkett,” he contia- ued, “repeats the ald worn out fa- ble that the vay to have peace is to Prepare for war, When the great world war broke out, the nations re- sponsible for that war were armed to the teeth, They. had bled their people white in. the name of the hoary He that arms mean peace. One Nation Follows {:.2 Other “it-oné 6 pation could arni to the Mmit and all other nations would refuse to ari, it might mean peace for that particulc.ly armed nation. But thc’ minute one nation begins to arm, all other nations be- gin to do so and then-a few threats are put out and war is easy and in- deed, inevitable.” Whether another war comes or not, the senator. believes the new naval program would not only elim- inate tax reduction, but would in- crease taxes. Observing that the remaining war debt is about $18,- 000,000,000 and that the hospitals still hold victims of the last war, Senator Borah said: “Someone had better have a voice in this matter besides those whose business is not to declare policies.” PLUNKETT DENIES | PREDICTI “G WAR New York, Jan. 23.—(#)—The New York Times today quotes Rear Admiral Charles P.

Encounters Heavy Fog The first story, written at 6:30 p. m., January 14, told of encounter- ing fog shortly after leaving. here for Boise, Idaho. He climber ‘7 an altitude of 15,200 feet to avoid.the fog, but ice formed on the ship.” “ “Wires began taking on ice and speed indicator stoppe’,” Hoyt wrote. “Tried turn southwest but couldn’t hold course. Ship sinking. Finally lost control and went into three spins at 8,000 feet. Tried to let ship adjust itself, but soon in fourth spin and decided to get out. Tried to get on wing, but nosed down, throwing me over center sec- tion. Pulled ring and chute seemed to open instantly.

For the first time in the ex- changes between Foreign Minister Briand and Secretary Kelkcgg, the league has been mentioned by name in the latest French note. This note was published in all Paris newspapers today, with unanimously favorable comment on the French position. The latest note suggests that the United States may find it possible to accept the terminology adopted by the majority of the powers at Geneva. It leaves the door open for any other formula Washington may suggest to France, “which would enable it to reconcile absolute con- demnation of war with engagements and obligations contracted by vari- ous nations with a legitimate con- cern for the security of.each.” The reply to Kellogg alto sa: that France is still prepared to con- clude a bilateral pact between the two countries renouncing war Be- cause of the emphasis laid on aggres- sion, many observers fee! that the negotiations may be abandoned. The papers, however, continue optimistic although a_ warning is sounded in the Journal des Debats against the negotiations being too rapidly conducted. Farm Prosperity Returning to N.
