POLES MAY RESENT GERMAN’S SPEECH Herr Treviranus Considers Cut-up Vistula Regions “Unhealed — Wound.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 11.—A diplomatic | incident between Germany and Poland ‘was feared yesterday from an extremely outspoken speech by Gotfried Trevi- ranus, Reich minister of the occupied regions, on the subject of Germany's eastern frontiers. Herr Treviranus said that Germans *grieved from the bottom of their hearts for the cut-up Vistula regions, this unhealed wound in the eastern flank of Germany.” He told his audience. meeting in front of the Reichstag to celebrate the tenth ! anniversary of the plebisicite in East and West Prussia, that they would re- | member “the iniquitous pressure put | upon President Wilson to make him agree to the unnatural amputation of East Prussia.” “You will remember the hybrid eondition to which German Danzig has been reduced,” he said. “Our eyes see | with joy the regions that have been | restored to us, but with grief the Ger- man land which today is lost to us but which will one day be recaptured.” He said Germany's eastern boundary was “an unjust frontier under foreign sovereignty.” MISS TAVENNER DIES; TEACHER 30 YEARS Tliness Forced Her to Relinquish Position at Jackson School.

S. A bargaining point which the State Department hopes may eventually lead to a reciprocal visa agreement with Great Britain has been found after months of unsuccessful efforts to secure a walver or reduction of costs of pass- post_visas. With many thousands of Americans going abroad annually, the department has successfully negotiated agreemept with many of the principal EuropeAn countries for a walver of visas or a re- duction of the fee which American travelers pay. Since the fee for each visa is considered by the British gov- ernment to be a lucrative source of revenue, the negotiations with Great Britian ' for some modification of the present costly system to Americans have failed.

The department in refusing this re- quest pointed out that-the American Government maintains 16 consulates in the United Kingdom, any of which is authorized to issue a visa. Departmegt officials are hopeful the firm refusal in the present instance may result in an agreement on waiver or reduction of cost for ex-service men and will eventually lead to a more exten- sive visa agreement covering all types of travelers.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 11. —The “humanization” of submarine warfare represents a compromise be- tween the various admiraities, declared Daniel W. Wainhouse of New York, +assistant director of research, council |on foreign relations, at the general | conference on limitation or armaments | of the institute of politics. | “If the humanization of the sub- | marine can be said to have any merit | | at all, the merit lies in the fact that | it sets up a standard of conduct which |if ‘broken might expose the covenant- | breaker to the risk of incurring the | wrath of nations who are anti-sub- | marine minded.” he said. “The human- | ization of the submarine represents a | compromise between the admiralties who seek to make the seas safe for | their battleships and those who find it | the least expensive of water craft capable of the greatest destructive force.” Declares Ttaly Fears France. In discussing the naval building pro- grams of Frarce and Italy, Wainhouse said that Italy's claim for parity was based partly un “the fear generaied by | the Franco-Jugloslav alliance which Italy regards as a direct threat to her | security.” | At the present time, according to | Wainhouse,, France and Italy combined have a greater cruiser and destroyer | tonnage than Great Britain, and France | alone has a' larger and more formidable | | submarine fleet than her neighbor | across the channel. If Great Britain invokes article 21 of the London treaty | and builds over the treaty figures to | maintain a° two-power standard, the | United States, if it wants to maintain parity with the strongest, would have to build to match a similar British increase, e said. Thus he pointed out, “the size of the British, American and Japanese navies may eventually be determined by two powers who are not signatories to the treaty.” French Attitude Explained. ‘The importance attached by the French nation to its fleet was stated by Dr. Paul Mantoux, director of the | Institute of Higher International Studies | of Geneva, to be the need for uninter- rupted commerce with Northern Africa to “make herself practically self-suf- ficient” for food crops. He said that France is contemplating along her land frontier a “system of fortified positions to be completed in time of war by lines of trenches.” The minimum needs of Japanese naval defense, according to Yusuke ‘Tsurumi, former member of the Japa- nese Diet, is a navy large enough to protect the three Straits of Formosa, Tsushima and Sakhalien and an army strong enough to keep the peace in Korea and Manuchuria. “Until the i day comes,” he said, “when the land, | sea and air forces of all nations are | used for the purpose of policing the | world, Japan must have this amount of | force for herself and that will consti- tute the reasonable need of Japan's pre- | paredness.” World Flying Standards Urged. In the round table discussion of the political aspects of aerial navigation, Edward P. Warner, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, declared that “there should be a single basis for international flying for the whole world. He urged toward this end co-ordination of activities of the many organizations concerned with in- | ternational aviation as a measure of | great and immediate importance. 80 MARINES LEAVE FOR NICARAGUA | Naval Ammunition Ship Nitro, With Five Officers, Sails From Norfolk. | By the Associated Press. | NORFOLK, Va, August 11.—A detachment of 80 Marines, including five officers, will leave Norfork today | aboard the naval ammunition ship| Nitro for duty in Nicaragua and the | Canal Zone.

Suggest Common Pledge of All Americas as Sub- stitute. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. August | 11.—A multi-lateral Monroe Doctrine | was proposed by Dr. James Brown | Scott of the Carnegie Foundation for | International Peace, speaking before the | Institute of Public Affairs here today. | He suggested that each nation of the Western Hemisphere make a common declaration of policy to stand against European control in the affairs of any | one of them rather than r-main in the | somewhat, hamiliating position in which | this is a self-assumed function of the United States alone: | Thus Petu or Columbia would be | pledged to resist European invasion of | the United Stats, for example. They | would be equal and independent part- ners in the Western Hemisphere. As it stands now, the United States has taken | upon itsIf to be their guardian without ‘ asking what they think about it. | Says Roosevelt Stirred Resentments. | The greater part of the resentments stirred up against the Monroe Doctrine, Dr. Scott point:d out, have been due not' so much to the actual words of James Monroe, but to the interpreta- tion, whose terms are ambiguous, con- tained in the messige to Congress of | President Roosevelt Dccember 6, 1904, which made the United States an “international police power in flagrant | cases of wrong-doing or impotence” among the New World nations. This declaration of policy, which goes be- | yond anything actually said by Monroe, he explained, has been the basis of American invasions of Latin American countries and the reason for charges of American imperialism. “The Monro= Doctrine,” he said, “was not a rule of law. It was a declaration | of policy made by the United States in | its own behalf, the application of which, fortunately, has been not only in the special interest of the United States but | in the general interest of the Amer- icans. It is, at best, a one-sided and | special statement of the general right of self-defense.” But, he said, the language of the Roosevelt message was definitely “that | of a superior to an inferior.” “It is a | condition,” he continued, “that the 13 | American Colonies would not have accepted. No nation, it is believed, has hitherto, without compulsion, subjected | the propriety of its domestic activities to an exterior and superior will. | “Debts have been paid throughout | the centuries without acquisition of | territory outright or temporarily and | without taking possession of customs | houses. Apparently, President Roosevelt | assumed an application of the Monroe Doctrine from which to deduce a right | that thereupon becomes a duty of the United States. It would seem that the Government of the United States here creates responsibilities, as well as im- | poses duties, by a doctrine which is | availed of in its own interests | The United States, he insisted, always | lays itself open to the charge of doing | in its own interests in Latin-America | what it forbids European countries from | doing in their interests. | | | Doctrine of “Badge of Humiliation.” “While the Monroe Doctrine,” he said, | “is a source of pride to Americans of | the north it is a badge of humiliation | to our southern friends. This is be- | cause the doctrine is of the United | States and not of the American Re- publics, in the sense that it is pro- claimed by the United States, inter= | preted by the United States and applied | by the United States in its own in- | terests, however much it _may affect The Hallmark of Good Taste— Blackistone Floral Decorations Plan for the Fall wedding while it is still Summer. 3 Doors West of 14th St. 1407 H Street National 4905 as private business, exempt from 'pub- lic control, where the welfare n§ the public is concerned.

In our system of so-called | busi- ness the human individuals are beset by numerous forces over which they personally have no control and any one of which may render them titute, notwithstanding their technical effi- clency, integrity, initiative, industry, thrift and sobriety.
