The United States and 13 other na- tions have reached an agreement for closer co-operation among narcotic agents of various nations as a means of curtailing the international sale of drugs, it was announced yesterday by Secretary Kellogg. At the instancs of the Treasury De- partment, which administers the Amer- ican laws controlling narcotic drugs traffic, the Secretary of State took up with the principal European nations the question of stricter control of the illicit traffic. It was suggested that the drug enforcement officials of the various na- tions arrange a direct exchange of in- formation to include evidence with reference to persons engaged in the narcotics traffic, photographs, criminal records, fingerprints, Bertillon meas- urements, description of their methods of operating, places from which they have operated, the partners they have worked with, and other, useful data. ‘These exchanges would be carried on by cable messages and by mail, and the co-operation would comprise detective work and investigation. All of the countries approached with the proposal for the informal agree- ment acquiesced. They were Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Greece, Japan, Poland, Spain and Turkey. Each nation has desig- nated an officer to work directly with Col. L. G. Nutt, deputy commissioner in charge of narcotics of the Treasury De- partment here, At Brussels a central office has been set up, charged with all communica- tions with foreign countries, having for itsp urpose a general documentation of international culprits as well as the dis- covery of criminals. The system fis favored as the most effective means of combating international delinquency. DEBATERS MEET TONIGHT. West Virginia and G. W. Teams at Corcoran Hall.

BUENOS AIRES GOES WILD Cheering Crowds Shatter Po- lice Cordon in Attempt to Greet Americans. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover's trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded for the United States, are to be gained from the- interesting story written by Rer Collier, The Star's own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX COLLIER. President-elect Hoover’s visit to Buenos Aires served to convince members of the good will mission that the reputed sentiment of anti-Americanism in Ar- gentina is a tempest in a teapot stirred up by a small group of European agi- tators of Communistic leanings, whose activities are discredited by the gov- ernment and by the rank and file of the Argentine people. The agitators, encouraged possibly by interests resentful of American trade aggression in South America, have suc- ceeded in gaining the ear only of the uninformed and the ignorant. Their radical dissertations against “Yankee 1 imperialism” are an insult to the intel- ligence of the great masses of the Ar- gentine people. No better evidence of the fact that this constitutes the actual situation in Argentina can be cited than the mar- velous cordiality of the reception ac- corded the Hoover good will mission in the beautiful capital of the second largest South American republic. Argentina, fearful lest she might be misjudged through such activities of anti-American agitators as the Sacco- Vanzetti demonstrations, the bombing a | year before of the National City Bank |and the recent discovery of a plot to bomb the Hoover special train on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, went to ex- tremes to prove her friendship for the United States. Riotous Welcome Staged. She rounded up scores of suspects and put them in jail, she threw an extraordinary military guard around the Hoover train to insure its safe en- trance into the capital, she bedecked the capital most lavishly in madi gras dress, she sent her President to the station to greet the mission and she inspired her citizenry to stage riotous welcome in front of the Central Argen- tine Railway station. ‘The bomb conspiracy, handily frus- trated by agents of the government un- der the personal direction of President Hipolito Irogoyen, was, without doubt, an echo of the Communist demonstra- toin attempted in' Palo Alto on the eve of Mr. Hoover’s departure for Latin America. Only meager details of the eve of Mr. Hoover's departure for Latin America. Only meager details of the plot were received by those aboard the train bearing the good- will party to Buenos Aires. The drastic military precautions instituted to guard the train as it approched the capital, while designed to allay alarm on the part of the mission, really tend- ed to create an opposite effect. Some of the members had not regarded the bomb reports very seriously at first, but when they were handed special military passes by the Argentine offi- cials, who had boarfded the train at Mendoza, and when they found that every foot of the route into the city had been placed under elaborate mili- tary and police guard, there was a more or less general lifting of the eyebrows. Tension Lessens at Cheers. As the crowds along the track grew larger and the cheering and waving of hats and flags became more frequent, the tension of those on the train less- ened, however. Certainly there was nothing sinister, nothing unfriendly in the spontaneous cheers of these crowds in the suburbs of the metropolis. It was the wild greeting of the en- thusiastic throng at the Buenos Aires station that dispelled the last vestige of anxiety. The frenzied, friendly mob broke through the supposedly imper- vious cordon of police and soldiers as Mr. and Mrs. Hoover entered a presi- dential limousine, and in an instant the automobiles of the party were sur- rounded completely by a surging sea of humanity. It was a tidal wave of pop- ular acclaim—the answer of the Argen- tine people to the exhortation of agita- tors that they treat ‘the American visitors with “silent contempt.” Before that onrush of men, women and children the gendarmerie was help- less for several moments. Mounted po- licemen charged at the crowds with their horses, swinging their clubs free- ly. American Secret Service men were caught in the jam and one or two of them narrowly escaped being crushed between prancing horses and the de- fenseless _automobiles. The horses were pushed against the cars and, frightened by the excitement, reared at times as though to climb on the run- ning boards or fenders of the presiden- tial automobile. Hoover Worried for Crowd's Safety. The President-elect and his wife had worried countenances during the height of the commotion, not in fear of any act of hostility, but of the possible ac- cidental consequences of the outburst of friendly hysteria. The police at last managed to clear the way for the auto- mobiles, and the party proceeded through crowd-congested, - decorated thoroughfares to the American embassy. Newspaper men and photographers with the party, in the meantime, had been lost in the first charge of the spec- tators, and special arrangements for their reception and conduct to hotels were rendered useless. The photogra- phers were unable to take any pictures of the spectacular reception, for it was all they could do to hold onto their cameras and sult cases. Automobiles had been provided to carry the press to the embassy or their hotels, but the cars never were located. A growing Spanish vocabu- lary, however, efiabled the correspond- ents to find their way to the excellent hotels, where rooms had been reserved for them. The streets of Buenos Aires were ablaze with special illumination for the occasion. Festoons of electric lights colored. red, white and blue had trans- formed the broad Avenida de Mayo into a fairyland of dazzling splendor, and outlined upon a gigantic arch of lights were the words “Welcome, Herbert Hoover.” The peculiar chants of Argentine newsboys filled the air until em—lyg morn- ing, as extra editions of many of “B. A’s” papers were run off the presses, The city has more than 200 newspapers and magazines in half a dozen lan- guages, and many of them published special Hoover editions during the Pres- ident-elect’s stay there. Two Leading Papers Vie. La Nacion and La Prensa, the two great rivals of the Argentine press, vied with each other in the effort to supply their readers with news of the visit and information of biographical nature about Mr. and Mrs, Hoover, “The first visit of a President of the United States of North America consti- tutes an event of extraordinary import- ance,” the former paper announced. “La Nacion, Argentine fo the core, has e Above: ‘mission. 929, A section of the huge throng which waited at the station in Buenos Aires to gfeet the Hoovegy good-will Inset: One of the bflll‘{nnlly lighted arches of welcome which illuminated the streets of the Argentine capital dur- ing the President-elect’s visit decided tq comply with its journalistic obligation as a national organ of the press by marking the visit of the United States President-elect with a special issue in his honor. “In this it is only following its tra- ditional policy of stressing the import- ance of visits of statesmen from those countries connected with Argentina by history, by race, by community of ideals or by economic interests.” One of the two English newspapers was content to give the good-will mis- sion less than a column on an inside page, but the other, the Buenos Aires Herald, issued an extravagant 100-page souvenir magazine, on glazed paper, containing a complete history of Amer- ican activities in the Argentine. “What the American business man has done in Argentina,” the Herald sald, “is something which must be a matter for national pride and self-con- gratulation.” Attitude Discussed Frankly. The edition concluded with an “open letter to Mr. Hoover from an Argen- tine,” in which Argentina’s attitude to- ward the United States was discussed with admirable frankness. The anony- mous author, describing himself as “an Argentine born and bred, patriotic and proud of my nationality,” wrote, among other things: “What is the attitude of the Argen- time toward Uncle Sam? I feel that I am treading on dangerous ground, but presumably you want to know, else why have you traveled all these miles? “Argentina is a boy-man among na- tions, with all the feelings of a boy- man, “There is an idea locally that the Monroe Doctrine constitutes an inclina- tion toward the exercise of some system of control or suzerainty. The thinking Argentine cannot but admit that the doctrine carried South America safely through a very dangerous period of its existence. He cannot but feel a sense of gratitude. But there are others who have that chip on their shoulders. Also, some journalists have been trying to cause the impression that Yankee dol- lars are followed by Yankee guns. You and I know that this is all wrong, but it may take some years to persuade the man in the street regarding the error. “Nevertheless, it is pleasant to observe a growing feeling of admiration for the character of the Americans, as depicted in films and demonstrated in business. Local American residents have, almost at command, adopted a very tactful and yet direct method of dealing with the Argentine, which has had its harvest in growing respect and confidence. “We rather smile at the efforts of red-hot newspaper men who try to per- suade us that Uncle Sam is a ravenous wolf with greedy eyes on all America. We even are beginning to think that what has been done by Uncle Sam has been, mainly, for the good of the con- tinent as a whole. “This is why you probably will be surprised at the warmth of the reception which is being accorded you. Argen- tina is paying your country the sincerest form of flattery—emulation. We are hoping to flash into the powers of the world as did the United States. “Some day, mayhap, the world will wake up to a realization that South America in general, and Argentina in particular, can no longer be considered as secondary in power, in culture or in character!” (Copyright, 1929, by The Evening Star.) CHINESE STUDIES ADVOCATEDINU.S. Council of Learned Societies Announces Movement for Program in Schools. A movement to promote Chinese studies in American universities will be launched by the American Council of Learned Societies, with headquarters at 907 Fifteenth street, it was announced today. 9 The council has adopted a program urging that Chinese language, literature and civilization be included as part of the regular curriculum of American uni- versities. It also has undertaken a num. ber of specific projects, Influcung the construction of bibliographies, surveys of Chinese literature, a catalogue of Far Eastern manuscripts in the United States and the establishment of a series of monographs on Chinese subjects. ‘The committee to carry out the pro- gram includes American authorities in the field of Chinese learning. Berthold Laufer, curator of the Field Museum of Chicago, is chairman. Other members are: Carl W. Bishop, curator of Orlental art at the Freer Gallery, Washington; L. C. Goodrich, lecturer in Chinese at Columbia University; Louis Hodous, professor of Chinese philosophy and re- ligion, Kennedy School of Missions, Hartford, Conn.; Arthur W. Hummel, chief of the Oriental collections, Li- brary of Congress; K. S. Latourette, professor of missions at Yale; Lucius C. Porter, professor of Chinese phi- losophy at Harvard-Yenching Institute, Cambridge, Mass.; Walter T. Swingle, Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture; Walter F. Willcox, Cor- nell University, and Mortimer Graves, assistant secretary of the American Council of Learned Societies. “The turning point has been reached in this country’s apathy toward cultured China and the next decade will see a sriking increase in popular interest in Chinese studies,” said Mr. Graves. “The immensity of China’s contribu- tion to the humanistic and social science is only now receiving belated recognition. The Chinese penchant is toward history, topography, philosophy, poetry and commentary on the classics, All are saturated by serenity and a height of tone which might well be :mulnbeu by more sophisticated litera- ures. “In none of the world's civilizations has knowledge for its own sake played 50 prominent a part over so long a time as in that of China. We cannot disregard the lessons learned by a vig- orous and intelligent people, numbering one-fourth of the population of the globe, through 3,000 years of continued and varied culture.

In Paris the second Dawes committee, bearing in its title tribute to the Vice President of this country, is about to enter upon vital part of its attempt to solve the German repara- tions puzzle and is working under the chairmanship of Owen D.

He will discuss the preparatory general dis- armament conference which the League of Nations has summoned for April 15. Interest in this coming event has, however, - been overshadowed recently by unofficial exchanges dealing strictly with naval problems and involving this w:}ntry. Great Britain and Japan. 'he pas of the American 15- cruisers bill has been followed by word that Great Britain is preparing to take up the whole naval question on new grounds, having found the "ah\fi for ship and ton for ton” basis unworkable.

Thieves broke into the Sanitary Grocery Co. store at Thirtleth and M streets between midnight Saturday and this morning, and attempted to open a small iron safe, which they rolled from the front of the store to the rear. Examination failed to reveal anything missing. ‘The safe was found by Harry L. Utz, manager, when he opened the store at 7 o'clock this morning. The thieves gained entrance through a trap door at the side of the store, which they entered and bored a hole large enough for a man to pass through in the floor near the store room. Police of the seventh precinct found the hinges of the safe had been broken off and the combination lock had been tampered with, but could find nothing missing. AR L) SISTERS ASK DAMAGES. File Suits for $125,000 Against Taxicab Company. Suits totaling $125,000 damages have been filed in the District Supreme Court against the Black and White Taxicab Co. by three sisters, Margaret Harring- ton, Vincentia Harrington and Sarah Harrington, 1111 B street northeast, for alleged personal injuries. Through At- torney Martin J. McNamara, Sarah and Vincentia Harrington each ask for| $50,000 damages, alleging that they sus- tained injuries to their skulls which have impaired their eyesight. The other plaintiff, less seriously injured, places her damage at $25,000. ‘The injuries were sustained July 29 last when their automobile, driven by Sarah Harrington, who in collision with a cab of the company at Four-and-a- street and Maine avenue south Negligence is alleged against the rator of the taxicab. \ WILLARD SALES & SERVICE court.

In Paris the German delegation to the Reparations Commission has been describing to the financial diagnosticians the symptoms which the Berlin govern- ment claims as proof of a state of eco- nomic ill health. The commission is to consider next whether these facts and figures are symtomatic of organic troubles or of only surface sickness that may be corrected by home remedies. Upon the conclusions will depend how much and how often Germany's pocket- book must suffer as a result of the ‘World War. Most European activities have been halted by a spell of wintry weather that in some districts has exceeded in se- verity anything experienced in 200 years. Widespread misery has been caused by the cold, shortages of food and fuel and intensified epidemics of influenza.

INDIA WOMAN MAYOR ASKS CHIVALRY CODE Romantic Attentions Less to Be De- sired Than Equal Responsibility With Men, She Declares. Advocating a modern code of chivalry between the sexes, Mme. Sarojint Naidu, first woman mayor in India, told members of the National Woman's Party, meeting yesterday afternoon at party headquarters, that romantic and | traditional attentions are less to be desired by the woman of today than the privilege of sharing equally the responsibilities of home and office. “The highest act of chivalry a man is capable of” Mme. Naidu declared, “is to consider woman his comrade, sharing responsibilities equally. A woman who uu‘f‘u privileges and pro- tection from hardships necessarily must pass down weakness to her children.” If the women of the United States have legal disabilities, the speaker said, it is through fault of their own. “No individual, race or sex suffers subjec- tion,” she said, “unless they have qual- itles which cause them to permit such subjection.” In addition to being the first woman elected to the office of mayor in India, Mme. Naidu was the ‘woman vice president of the Indian National Congress. She is also a writer of prose and verse. The visitor was honor guest Saturday night at a dinner in the headquarters of the National Woman's Party. Miss Emma Wold of Oregon, legislative sec- | retary of the party, and Miss Mabel | Vernon of Delaware, national executive secretary, were hostesses.
