LONDON. March 28.—(JPV- A
tint of British isolation from con-
linex^L quarrels appeared on the
uri*Wn: European scene Saturday
is Sir John Simon foreign secre-
ary prepared for his momentous
alks with Relchsfuehrer Hitler in
lerlln.
Sir John himself in a speech to
tonstituents in the Spen vallev near
jeeds Friday night said. “We can-
tot indulge in every sort of loreign
idventure over all the world or
Hedge our activity to everybody’s
juarreL"
The foreign secretary previously
old the house of commons Britain
las no enthusiasm for special pacts
ind insisted he was not contemplat-
ng a special agreement with any
aatKin.
Nevertheless Simon awaited the
iraft of questions Italian Frencn
ind British officials framed In
*aris Saturday which he is expected
o put to Hitler. These in effect
ire expected to demand whether
3ermany intends to enter or re-
nain outside of a new system of
lecurity for Europe.
The original plans for the con-
rersations between Simon. Capt.
fcnthony Eden. Lord Privy Seal and
Hitler called for a discussion of
•he Anglo-French proposals for se-
curity and the elimination of the
>art five of the Versailles treaty
-elating to military matters in re-
alm for reich participation in a
lecurity system.
Germany's action in announcing
a conscript army was followed by
an announcement of her willing-
ness to discuss the original proposals.
The British hope that this desire
on the part of Germany means that
a satisfactory solution of the whole
problem still is possible.
Si- Austen Chamberlain former
foreign secretary told an audience
n Birmingham that the same spirit
‘which plunged Europe into war
ind Caused not only her enemies
jut the world to affix to her the
juilt on the great war.” still throbs
n Germany.

March 88. 1835.— Continuing the
Kories of LaSalle and the annl-
.ei^ary dates of French occupancy
>t Texas and the consequent claims
>f France to the country as con-
trasted with those of Spain it is
aorth while to consider that at the
lime of LaSalle s landing and for
many years thereafter Texas was
in Indian country and but sparsely
populated by them. Further that in
al) i « official correspondence prior
to the treaty of 1819 concerning the
ownership of Texas Spain never
contended that any of her people
had located on Texas soil prior to
LaSalle (although Spanish explorers
are supposed to have traversed the
country in 1544 >. but always assert-
ec her rights as growing out of
voyage* of DeLeon DeSoto and
ptbi:.s supported by the grant of
pom Alexander VI and her sub-
aequent decree forbidding foreigners
to enter the Gulf of Mexico. In the
course of that correspondence me
Secretary of State of the United
States of America gave the follow-
ing interpretations to the rules at
the law established by European
governments concerning than
American discoveries—(1) That
when any European nation takes
possession of any extent of sea-
coast. that possession is understood !
as extending into the interior coun-
try to the sources of the rivers empty-
ing within that coast to all their
branches and the country they
cover ar.d to give It a right in ex- i
elusion of ail other nations to the
same. (2) That whenever one Euro-
pean nation makes a discovery and
takes possession of any portion of
this continent and another after-
wards does the same at some dist-
ance from It where the boundary
between them is not determined by
the principle above mentioned th. t
the middle distance became* such
ol course. <3> That whenever any
European nation has thus acquired
a right to any portion of territory -n
this continent that right can never
be diminished or affected by any
other power by virtu* of purchases
made by grants or conquests of
the natives within the limit* there- ;
