SETTLE DISPUTES OVER BOUNDARIES Nations Still Making Agreements " On Who Owns What ‘Washington, Jan. 11.—8hifts international real estate, which leave some nations with more and some with less territory, eccurred in 1928, Major territorial, population, and language changes of the year are reported in & bulletin from the ‘Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Soclety, “In South America a boundary ‘sore spot’ was eliminated,” con- tinues the bulletin, “with the ces- sion of the Putumayo region by-Co- lombia to Peru. The area of Peru has been increased 13,000 square miles by the award of this tropic, forested upland on the east flanks of the Andes. Brazil and Bolivia adjusted their boundaries in the Gran Chaco region, Braszil taking 8.200 aquare kilometers and Bolivia 400 square Kilometers. Jighting ¥ollowed Parely Fallure “Failure of similar negotiations last July between Rolivian and Paraguayan representatives at Buenos Alres on the question of ar- ng the Gran Chaco boundary erved us a prelude to the clash of military forces in December. An. other unsettled South American boundary problem remains at Tac- na. Bolivia presented a petition to the Havana Pan-American confer- ence for a territorial corridor to the sea through Tacna, ownership of which is now disputed by Chile and Peru. “In Central America Honduras end Guatemala discussed an agree- ment to arbitrate their 398-year old boundary contention. The United States, Nicaragua and Colombia reached an agreement ou the dispo- mition of a handful of pirate islands in the western Caribbean sea. The northern group, comprising Quita Bueno, Serrana and the Roncador banks and keys are claimed by the United States and Colambia. Tt was agreed that (‘olombia shall raise no objection to the United States main taining lighthouses on the islands and that the Colombians might fish on the banks. The middle group &oes to Colombhia while the third group, Great Corn and Little Corn, goes to Nicaragua. The Corn Islands command the proposed entrance to the much debated Nicaraguan canal. Colombia also gave up claims to the Mosquito coast. Part of Europe's Problems Settled “In Europe, 8weden and Finland have come to an agreement on their boundary line where it reaches the Raltic Sea, but two minor questions one of them the Aland Sea bound- ary, remain unsettied. France and Buwitzerland have heenendeavaring to solve the issue of free trade zones In Géx and Haute-Sqvoie, @ very important ‘question for Switzerland becaude of Geneva's economic de- pendefce on these neighboring ¥rench proviucer. The question of autonemy for Croatia has heen rais- ed at Belgrade, capital of Yugosla- via, and the right to Vilna and its country side, is still & subject of —Here are two photographs dissension betwegn Poland and Lithuania. Hungary has asked the League of Nations for a slice of land on the west of its present boundary. However, definite pro- gress toward Balkan peace seems to have /been accomplished by Greece making Baloniki a free port, thus providing & much needed trade out- let to the Aegean Sea for Yugosia- via and Bulgaria. The Soviet gov- ernment maintains that the owner- ship of Bessarabia, now in the pos- session of Rumania, is still an open question. “To a comnference among repre- sentatives of Great Britain, France, | Spain snd Italy questions relating to Morocco and the international city of Tangier, the United States government sent a note which said that it presumed the ‘open door’ policy would be maintained. France continued its pacifications of Morocco, securing submission in 1928 of the country of the Ida-ou-Tana tribes south- west of Marrakesh. 1'arther cast Ituly and France are reported to have reached an agreement by which certain territorial changes in the southwest boundary of Tripolitania will be made in exchange for the surrender of Italy’'s claims for spe- cial privileges for Italians in Tunisia territory, A government commission has recently returned to London to report its investigation of the pro- posal to unify Kenya Colony, 1'gan- da, Tanganyika, and Nyasaland into a Hyitish dominion of Kast Africa. Portugal gave Belgimm three square kilometers near Matadi at the mouth of the ("fongo in exchange for the 'Dilolo Boot' in western Angola. Readjustments in Asia “In Asia, Transjordan, by a new treaty with Great Britain, agreed to agcept British military protection at local expense and to receive a Brit- ish representative at Amman. The Transjordan capital a few months later was the scene of an assem- blage of the chiefs of desert tribes of 8yria, Jebel Druz and Transjor- dan for the purpose of signing a peace treaty. The neighboring country of Traq, also League of Na- tions mandate, has been given a on international | South West A NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1929, new and more nearly independent status under a new pact with Great Britain. Persia’s claims to Abbadan Island and Bahrein Island, both in the Persian Gulf, has been a sub- ject of diplomatic discussions be- iveen Great Britain and Persia. At the other end of Asia the South China government by its military victory over the northern forces was able to advance the boundary of China under one government north to the Great Kall which separates China from Manchuria. “Outside the continents there have been other changes. The Sov- | et government has reasserted its claim to Franz Josef Land. The Netherlands and the United States | arbitrated a disagreement over the | ownership of Palmas Island, on the southeast frings of the Philippines, with the result that it was given to | the Netherlands. Norway took the | final step toward annexing Bouvet | and Thompson Islands, two lonely | specks of land in the South Atlantic | ocean. Canada sustained a ‘paper | loss' of about 7,000 square miles of | Baffin Land when an explorer's ship | sailed across an-area which had ap- peared on the maps as land. Millions of Chinese Migrating “In addition to purely territorial shifts, there have beep other im- portant geographic events in 1928. | The migration of Chinese north into | Manchuria has assumed enormous | proportions. The estimates vary | from two to four millions which | makes the migration one of the | lurgest in the history of the world.
