KV HARRY W. FRANTZ I Pre* Staff C rrr*pnndent WASHINGTON. Dor. 21.—Forty thousand dead in thr Chaco ‘ Green are a -nut'- reminder at Christmas time that the World uar to n nd war" in 1914-1918 failed to obtain its objective of permanent peace At least 25.000 Bolivians and 12 - 000 Paraguayans are estimated to have been killed outright in the sanguinary strife that began in 1928 and mcc has challenged the efficiency of every existing agency for the promotion of international peace. Washington Buenos Aires. Montevideo. Geneva and other capitals have witnessed earnest efforts so promote a pacific solution of Bo-livian-Paraguayan difficulties. PanAmerican conferences, parleys of neighboring countries, the PanAmerican Union, and the League of Nations have sought to break the warring nations' death grip. Peare Machinery Handicapped From six years of diplomatists’ disillusionment has stood out the fact that, when nations once enter into active combat the machinery of peace is under great handicap in effecting a settlement. Diplomacy of the combatant countries tends to become th° tool rather than the master nf the armed forces, and the commanders upport or reject peace moves according i<> whether their interests is to temporize or to obtain quirk decision. International peace moves regarding the Bolivian-Paraguayan war have not had the desired effect of terminating the strife, but it is a noteworthy fact that the four great neighboring countries. Argentine, Brazil. Chile and Peru have themselves been able to maintain pacific policies and have refused to become involved in the combat. Fears Prove Groundless This is remarkable in view of widespread fears entertained six years ago that South American countries might divide into two great armed camps. The Chaco difficulties also have served to convince most diplomats that effective peace efforts must be made through a world rather than strictly regional orp .ization. Pan-American peace ehorts have uniform tailed. and the United States itsi ui recent weeks found u desirable t< subscribe to the proposed peace program of the League of Nations, although not consenting so become involved politically with the League Advisory Committee. Peace Efforts Fail Seventeen distinct international efforts have been made to invoke conciliation, arbitration, armistice.

general peare conference, or any other process satisfactory to the rombatants. Among the most important efforts have been: 1928 -Pan American conference of conciliation and arbitration, in session when the first serious Chaco clashes occurred, exerted its good offices, while the Council of the League of Nations reminded Bolivia and Paraguay of their obligations under the covenant. 1929 —A commission of neutrals, representing five American republics, seated at Washington was able to effect a temporary conciliation between the two countries, but its formula for arbitration was rejected. 1931 Border clashes led both countries to prepare for military contingencies, which it was sought to avert by direct negotiation of a non-aggression pact. 1932 Warfare became active, and 19 American republics sought s o make it fruitless by a declaration Washington that th~y would not recognize territorial arrangements attained by force. 1933 As result of a conference at Mendoza, Argentina, in February, the four countries adjoining 801 l ll :a and Paraguay attempted mediation. whit h was abortive. 1934 The United States and many League of Nations members sought to discourage the war by imposition of arms embargoes. In November. the assembly of the League of Nations adopted a peace plan, which was accepted by Bolivia and rejected by Paraguay in December.

$375,000,000 ADVOCATED FOR LAND PROGRAM _______ 75.000,000 Submarginal Acres Should Be Retired, Survey Shows. This is the third of a n.rif, of four storifs on the National Resources Board report outlinin; the protected program of land and mineral development. j By United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.—Federal I retirement of 75.000,000 acres of submarginal land is necessary to America's economic and industrial wellbeing, according to the National Resources Board. The committee, in its report to i President Roosevelt, suggested the ! Government pay out $375,000,000 j during the next i5 years to take this . land out of cultivation, transfer the | inhabitants to more fertile -areas and withdraw- homestead privileges from unsuitable acreage. Retirement of valueless land was the keystone of the board’s program of improving agriculture and industry. Other factors were flood and soil erosion protection, irrigation, extension of Federal control to cover public domain used primarily for grazing and development of national and state parks and forest reserves. The board recommended partial Government control of the mining industry to assist economic stability, minimize waste, maintain wage standards and protect investments. Necessity for a subsistence homestead program to care for families now on submarginal land was stressed. The Government, it said, should foster decentralization of industry to supply farmers with parttime employment. ‘‘Experience during the current, year,” the report said, "has shown that the families in these areas respond readily to the program and that it is supported by local opinion. "These areas.” it added, ‘‘have been characterized by incredibly low i standards of living. Last spring a program for the purchase of these poor farms and-for aiding the trans-
