He urged a combina'ion of American with native capital in developing the re- sourses of the countries of Central and South America. ‘Such a combination,” he declared, “presents advantages not only be- cause it strengthens international ties, but by reason of the fact that it affords a most effective pro- tection to the investment of foreign capithl.” Dr. Rbwe said indications point to a strengthening of the financial ties between North, Central and South Anierica, “which will not only be a source of strength to the countries of the American continent, but which ultimately may be the means of sav- ing Hurope from dissolution and de- cay.

Chairman Mapes of the House Dis- trict committee by several questions indicated that he will probably not be in favor of this appropriation on the theory that it may interfere with water-power developments. Repre- sentative Snell of New York, republi- can, said that he could not understand how it would interfere. Representa- tive R.
