2 K@ " " NCARAGUAN POLICY BIDS ON $2000000 | HITAT WAR PARLEY BULDING INVTED U. S. Backs Wrong Man There, Educator Asserts at Conference. Use of the Pan-American Union as an agency for considering questions re- | lating to United States intervention in | Latin American countries was advo- | cated today at a round-table discussion | on the foreign policy of the United ! States. conducted by five men at the! morning session of the Third Confer- ence on the Cause and Cure of War, at the Hotel Washington. { N.iaragua and Mexico occupied the | spotlight during the round-tabic ronfer ence, and winie this was in session JMiss Amy G. Maher of Toledo, representing | the National Women's Trade Union | League, as chairman of a special com- muttee, informally anncunced that her | committee tentatively decided that al similar conference should be held next year Washington. Her commitiee will mit its final rt to the con- ference later in the da Dr. Latane Speaks. John Holladay Latane. of history of Johns Hopkins University, began the discus- sion by asserting that the United States has never had a foreign investment policy. American Mannes have been | in Nicaragua to uphold President Diaz, | he said. characterizing that executive &s & puppet “The United States has backed the wrong man down there and there has been a bed case of publicity,” Dr. la- tane asserted. adding that the State Department has not been frank wi the American peopie. i “We might as well try to dam u the Mississippi 8s to try to biock the overflow of American investments into Latin America. for ther are needed there.” Dr. Latane continued. “1 do not believe that any great na- tion .hould be the judge in its own cause. The United States should not ene without submitling a ques- to a body of Latin Americans. ‘There has been a storm of criticism against the United States in Latin America and it is going to grow.” | Views Investments. Dr. Latane placed the total private in. vestments of the United States at $12.- 000.000.000, explaining that investments | in Latin America approximate $5.200.- ' 000.000. with Great Britain having four ; times the American investment in Ar- gentina and Brazil, but with the United | States leading in the other Latin Ameri- | €an_countries. | ‘When he declared that he is a strong sdvocate of the League of Nations, Dr. | Latane drew applause. He added, how- | ever, that he did not believe in carry- | ing out any propaganda to get the United States into the League. Prof. Ernest M. Patterson of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. taking up the | discussion. said that in blaming the | bankers in international disputes ! should be remembered that the peo- ple who own securities want to collect the interest from the bankers. Educator Speaks. Prof. Philip C. Jessup of Columbia University inquired if it is not true | that strategic, rather than economic | have actuated American ac- Caribbean. Teasons tivity in the . i The proposal to submit questions re- | lating to intervention to the Pan-. American Union was made by Samuel | G. Inman, director of committee on ' co-operation in Latin America, who| maintained that the canal route al- ways has been a fundamental rnson‘ Wwhy the United States has such close Telation with Nicaragus. Mr. Inman | S2id it was impossible to become in- volved in internal affairs of Latin American countries without being im- piicated in who shall be president. Dr_Stephen P. Duggan, the Institute of International Educa- | tion. said the United States is animated | by economic motives, but Latin Ameri- cans are not, for it is a matter of pride with them. He inquired how the Pan- American Union could be remodeled to have other states associated with the United States consulted “w] 80ing o intervene.” Dr. Latane explained that he would | have & smaller ly, with the United | Btates, Argentina, Brazil and Chile al- | ways represented on the board, and | other states elected annually. Dr. Duggan said he did not believe | that the Pan-American Union could be | organized to deal with intervention | without breaking up that body, explain- | ing that this must be done when the | Pproblem arises and “then call a confer- | ence.” Discussion then centered on Mexico. Mr. Inman was called upon to discuss this topic, and he emphasized how far | ®ood will will go toward solving mutual | problems. Adequate international government was seen by Prof. Nicholas Spykman 8ssociate professor in the department ©f economics, sociology and govern- ment at Yale. a5 necessary to change the ancient method of dealing with eonflict. He attributed America’s aosence from the League of Nations as the cause for the incompleteness of that body, which he termed inadequate be- cause possibilities for war are left open. | Prof. Spykman spoke last night, Europe affords parallels for the oper: Dr head of the depart | | tions of the United Btates in Nicaragua, | — H.

By the Ascociated Prese RANGOON, Burma. January 19— The price-cutting war between the Standard Oil Co. of New York and the | Royal Dutch Shell Co. of Europe, is Burma. They assert that in purchasing oil from Russia the Standard has in- fringed on an explicit agreement, and by “dumping” oil at cutthroat prices | in Burma is opposing an arrange- | ment which is economically sound. The arrangement referred to is that mar- kets should be allotted geographically. each company receiving markets in the territory nearest to it. Charges that Standard Oil prices were undercut are not denied, but it is claimed that as soon as Russian oil was “dumped” here below current prices, the war was inevitable. It is believed that the Indian gov- | ernment has been approached to act | in interest of Burma’s major industry. | | | | BURGLAR TAKES MONEY, | JEWELRY AND CLOTHING Candlesticks and Teapot Stolen From Woman's Apart- ment.
