E. Rountree of Norfolk, Va. Homeward bound, after an enthusi- astic reception at Rio De Janerio, which climaxed his Latin American good-will tour, Mr. Hoover felt much gratified over results of the tour. He is especial- ly pleased over the fact that all ap- praisals and analyses of his trip, which to him, characterized his have come 3 visit to the Central and South American countries as a real and pronounced ac- complishment towards good-will and understanding and closer friendship in the relations of the Latin American republics and the United States. Members of the Hoover party pointed out that Mr. Hoover had brought a Christmas gift of “peace and good-will” to the Western Hemisphere and that his tour was one of the most extensive efforts of history in applying the gerluckple of friendly personal contact tween chief executives of nations. Be- sides Christmas greetings the radio brought Mr. Hoover many felicitations from South American countries on his good-will trip. A torrid sun and clear skies was the Chrisamas eve weather as the battle- ship steamed toward the equator. A strong breeze prevailed, which el- leviated the tropical heat and Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and other members of their party were able to rest comfortably on the quarterdeck.

MARCEL CAUSSI) PARAGUAY BLAMES TREATY VIOLATION FOR BOUNDARY ROW __ (Continued From First Page.) tlers who have built cities in the in- terfor—all these are due to Paraguay. But while Paraguay was doing this Bolivia confined itself to the erection of clandestine forts in the farthermost spots in Gran Chaco. Of course, Bolivia could not do any- thing else. It is a_country where nine- tenths of the population are full blood- ed indlans, and lacking resources to re- deem such a territory. In Paraguay there is not a single negro. The Indians number scarcely 15,000. A white race, strong, healthy, civilized and work-loving, lives in my country. There are thousands of schools for the education of the people. | Bolivian advances, I repeat, brought to Paraguay realization that it was urgent to establish a modus vivendi be- tween the countries while the boundary question was being settled. _Without a modus vivendi, because of Bolivian in- temperance, the danger of deplorable clashes could not be dispelled. But from several years back to the present, Bolivia has obstinately refused to recog- nize the status quo of 1907, wishing to keep free to continue its usurpations in Gran Chaco, even though they meant violations of solemn pacts. Peace Conference Failed. Last year, when delegates of both countries met in Buenos Aires, through the initiative of the Argentine govern- ment, to settle the existing differences, the conferences failed owing to_the stubborness of the Bolivians. They did not wish to hear anything about the modus vivendi, which was necessary, because, if the boundary dhruu was submitted to arbitration, the lack of a modus vivendi might csuse incidents which would not permit waiting tranquilly for the decisions of the arbiter. This is just what happened. In the latter part of last August, patrols_attached to the garrison of Bahia Negra, in the northern region of the Paraguay River, 1,000 kilometers from Asuneion, surprised six high chiefs of the Bolivian army in the neighbor- hood of Fortin Galpon (& fort). As Bolivians had never before en- tered that territory, which had always been held by Paraguay, it was logical to assume that the military men of the neighboring country had not gone there with holy intentions. They were freed immediately, however, and Bolivia was told of the bad impression their incur- | weeks ago. sion had created in Paraguay, and re- quested that no repetition be allowed. ‘Had Bolivia nurtured the same friend- 1y feelings existing in my country, that request would have prevented any new incursion. But, acting against elemental iples of caution, or rather, adopt- an openly provocative attitude, a Bollvien column three months later reached the same place and established & fort. Invasion Leads to Battle. Learning of this, the chief of the garrison at Bahia Negra sent a detach- ment to demand that the Bolivians leave. Our forces were received with bullets, and a battle ensued. It ended with the capture of some of the invaders and the rsal of the rest.

BRAZLAN GRAE S INURPASSED Hoover Party Finds Rio Re- ception Greatest of All on Tour. BY MARK SULLIVAN. By Cable to The Star and the Herald-Trib- une. Oopyright. 1928.) RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, December 26.—~When the President of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputics in a public address describcs the United States as “the supreme ‘inspirer of peace and fraternity among the nations” and President-elect Hoover as “an altruistic superman,” it may be truthfully inferred that the reception here is on a high note. But the key of the reception is no more ele- vated than the facts of the condition. The Brazillans are a folk who, if they choose to say it at all, say it with flowers of language, but if the facts do not seem to them to call for graclous- ness, they can be more expressively silent than any Anglo-Saxon. Strong Bonds Tie Nations. The truth is that the Brazilians feel for the United States a friendship and practice with us a co-operation that 1s one of our principal pillars in our posi- tion in the world. If Americans gen- erally were aware how deeply Brazil's friendship is prized by our diplomats and others who have had occasion to come In contact with the facts the re- sult would be that every American in- dividual would make it his patriotic duty, as well as his personal pleasure, to seek opportunity to make acquaint- ance and practice responsive friendship toward Brazil as a nation and toward the Brazilians as charming individuals. The service would have abundant personal rewards for all who under- stood it. The Brazilians are a unique and remarkable people. . Rio de Janeiro is one of the great cities of the world in the ordinary | sense, and there is justification for saying, with considered superlativeness, that it is literally the world’s most beautiful city. Its beauty is not accom- plished by any selective chopsing of models of beauty from European clties. The loveliness of Rio de Janeiro fis unique in the world, and is in turn the direct indigenous expression of a peo- ple who possess a unique grace. Entertainment Is Different. In the entertainment here practical- ly every detail has been different from the corresponding detail in any other city, whether on this journey or ever. As an example, much use has been made of decoration through electric il- lumination. Where one would say of another city that it is flooded with light, one would say of Rio that it 1s suffused with light. The peril of garishness which in our own cities sometimes accompanies this form of decoration is as completely ab- sent from Rio as from a particularly delicate orchid, The individual forms and colors taken by the lighted loops and pendants and columns and other figures along the avenue leading to the palace where Mr. Hoover was staying were never seen anywhere else.

Remember Help of U, S. ‘The friendliness of Braazil for the United States in everything having to do with international relations has sev- eral foundations. Certain helpful ac- tions by us at the beginning of Brazil's independence are remembered here as if they happened yesterday. In practically every speech welcoming Mr. Hoover, mention was made of the fact that one of the early Brazilian martyrs to independence went to the scaffold carrying in the pocket of his death garments a copy of the Constitu- tion of the United Siates. Help toward mutual friendship and toward standing by each other in international relations arises from the fact that In an economic sense the two countries are complementary to each other. Brazil is a tropical coun- try, producing what we need, but can- not raise ourselves, and vice versa. In a temperamental and spiritual sense also, the two peoples are complemen- tary. Brazil is the equivalent of the United States when the latter is in Its best and rarer mood of art and gayety. One might say that the United States and Brazil are the two sides of a gold coin, one side of which is plain and bears merely the austere statement of its economic worth, “one dollar,” while the other side bears the figure of a | rarely beautiful woman. America, as a middled-aged man grown substantial and a lttle prosy, might look upon Brazil and say, like Marco Polo in Eugene O'Neill's play, “There is the poet that in my youth I intended | 3. to be.” “Coffee Jake” Rich.
