BY GASTON NERVAL. T THE opening of the League’s annual assembly at Geneva, the small nations had & holi- day. Against the apparent de. signs of the big powers and even the threats of one of them, they voted, by sheer majority of numbers, to seat the Ethiopian delegate, Of course, at this late hour, the gesture can hardly be expected to save the Negus' throne, but it has, nevertheless, been interpreted by Geneva correspondents as a moral vic- tory for the forces which are still striving to rehabilitate the League in the eyes of the world, Among such forces, the nations of Latin America are playing an out- standing role. A long period of cold- ness and lack of interest in the League had prevailed south of the Rid Grande, following the inability of the Geneva statesmen to handle properly some Latin American problems. In the last few years, however, the Latin Amer- ican governments, probably moved by a desire to profit diplomatically from the privileges of League membership and by their own failure to find other outlets for the solution of their feuds, have been rejoining in the League's activities, as if they had renewed their once lost confidence in Geneva. Joint Action Movement. Some time ago, convinced that so long as they acted separately their voices would not be heard, the Latin American delegates to the League de- cided to form a regional bloc for the exercising of joint action. Alone, they had been disregarded; together, they could be in a position to make their influence felt, if only by their number. As soon as the announcement of this “peace alliance” among the Latin American representatives was made, reports were spread in ‘international circles that the Latin American bloc would immediately press for larger participation in the World Court, the permanent tribunal of justice created by the League. The reports were con- firmed by the appointment of three noted Latin American jurists to The Hague bench. Naturally, together with the growing prestige of Latin America at Geneva, there developed a sudden interest among the League's directors to culti- vate and increase the sympathies of the Latin American governments to- ward the League. It was, unaoubtedly, with this in mind that the League’s Council acted rapidly in the case of the first border clashes between Bolivia and Paraguay over the Chaco, late in 1928, and collaborated in averting a serious crisis. Later on, when new differences brought, again, the two Southern republics to the point of bayonets and finally precipitated the Chaco War, in June of 1932, the| League tried repeatedly, though with- out avail, to put an end to the armed hostilities. Its failure to do so could not be taken as a measure of its im- cy in non-European affairs—as some short-sighted observers pro- claimed—for other instrumentalities of peace were no more successful in stopping ' the Chaco warfare until three years later. latin American Tours. In the inter'm there followed s series of visits and personal tours of the Latin American capitals by some of the high officials of the League, in- cluding its then secretary general, Sir Eric Drummond. These visits gave the League a considerable amount of free publicity throughout the conti- nent, and helped it to establish new contacts and leave behind ‘competent agents and correspondents, while to the Latin American governments they showed conclusively that Geneva was at last considering seriously their position in the international world. Under these circumstances, the in- vitation which the League forwarded to Mexico to. become its fifty-fifth member caused no surprise, even though to this went attached an “amende honorable” for the League’s past attitude, when Mexico had been eliminated from the original list of founder members in order to satisfy President Wilson's pride. Later, an invitation to join the League went to Argentina, the im- portant Southern nation which had abandoned it at its birth, displeased with the methods followed in its or- ganization. Argentina's reply, disa- vowing explicitly the League's un- warranted interpretation of the Mon- roe Doctrine as a ‘“regional und standing” in Article 21 of the Cove- nant, was quietly and courteously re- ceived. ‘Then came the intervention of the League in the Leticia controversy be- tween Colombia and Peru. For the first time in the League's history, international action by the Council not only prevented war, but resulted in an amicable arrangement which entrusted the League with the ad- ministration of the territory in dis- pute until & direct agreement could be worked out by the parties in dis- cord. The prompt and efficient ac- tion of the League in the Leticia case, which alone made possible a suc- cessful diplomatic settlement between Peruvian and Colombian plenipoten- tiaries at Rio, restored much of the prestige which the Geneva institu- tion had lost in the judgment of Latin Americans. More recently, when this faith was shaken again by the inability—or un- willingness—of the League to cope with the Ethiopian crisis, the Latin American delegates at Geneva were the most outspoken and consistent their denunciations. It is only fitting, therefore, that the Assembly which has just taken the first step—even if merely a single step and one of little more than an ethical signifi- cance—in the rehabilitation of the Leagye should be presided over by a Latin American, '.he Argentine minis- ter of foreign affy (Cenmrhl. 1936, Taxes Deluge _Consumer (Continued From First Page.) ing the ratio between total sales billed and total taxes paid or accrued during 1935.

In this way it was found that 4.94 per cent of the manufacturer’s cost of producing cotton textiles is trace- able to taxes on the industry, exclu- 6 cents of every dollar that the manu- facturers of rubber goods receive for their product is paid out in taxes.

Public service corporations pay out a very large percentage of their gross income in taxes. Six cents of every | dollar paid for bus or trolley trans- pomuon is attributable to taxes, 7 cents of every dollar for railway must add 4!2 cents on the dollar to cover taxes on their business. Shoe manufacturers must add 2 per cent. As the goods pass through the whole- saler he must add 1.35 cents on the! dollar to cover the taxes on his busi- | ness. The mercantile store must mark up goods about 1.75 per cent to cover | taxes on the business. The grocery store must include a mark-up of 1.80 per cent for the same purpose. ‘Transportation taxes must be figured on all articles. As these taxes are practically the same whether transport | is by raflroad or truck, they have been | figured on the basis of railroad trans- | port. According to the Interstate | Commerce Commission, 7 per cent of every charge levied by class A railroads in 1935 for passenger or freight traffic went for taxes to various governmental | units. A man who lives in a rented house does not, of course, pay directly any property taxes on the house. But if he believes that he does not pay any indirectly he is fooling no one but himself.
