4 W HOLDS EUROPEANS ACT AGAINST LS. Representative Cole Reports Attempt to Arouse Enmity in Latin America. By the Associated Prass. The charge that European influences are attempting to arouse enmity against the United States in Latin American tountries in an effort to discourage growth of commerce was made today by Representative Cole, Republican, Towa, who recently returned from an extended tour of South and Central America. Cole was & member of the American delegation to the Pan-American Roed | Congress at Rio de Janeiro. “The Latin Americans hold no prej- wdice toward North Americans,” he said. “America’s greatest enemies in the Southern republics are Europeans and other foreigners who dislike to see us extend our foreign trade in they have sought to dominate. The South Americans are progressive and | have adopted many North American business and professional practices.” Pointing out that other countries had secured trade in Latin America by merchant marines, Cole said completion of the inter-American high- way would do more to promote business between the North and South con- tinents than any one thing. The United States, he said, would do well to lend its best efforts to a speedy completion of this project, which would connect Texas with a highway system that would extend through Central and South American countries. Lacking sufficient railroads and means to build more of them, heads of the Latin American governments realize the importance of motor highways, Cole sald, several telling him, “We must bulld roads or our civilization will perish for want of & means to dispose of our products.” HEIRESS ON STAGE.

Particular interest has been attached to Schauminn's activity in the contest because he is a resident of East Prussia, the territory actually separated from Germany, which has been regarded with some doubt as to its desires to remain under the dominion of Germany. In the contest, Schaumann is speaking for and about the Weimar Constitution of Germany, and is stressing its signifi- cance to the youth of all Germany.

He did not | say whether he thought the measure could be passed during the special ses- | sion. His conference with the President only lasted a short while. { Borah later said at the Capitol that | the President had invited him to the White House, but he did not feel he could with propriety divulge what took place at the meeting, except that it | had to do with the tariff bill. It was recalled that it was Mr. Borah's first visit to the White House since before | the debenture contest over the farm bill. The Idahoan did say he thought the Senate would pass the tariff measure this session, perhaps by November 20, but believed final action on the confer- | ence report would be delayed until the ! “We want to see a biil passed in the shape we want it, and we think we can shape it,” he asserted. “Do you believe it will satisfy the farmer?” he was asked. “I think it will if it ever passes” he | replied. Borah reiterated that the West- | ern Republicans would do all they could to hasten action by the Senate. $6,000,000 IS STOLEN. Russian Loss Followed by Death Sentence for 21 in Plot.
