Hoover's Good Will Me:sage |
Delivered to People of
Central America.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
ERBERT HOOVER began deliver-
Ing his message of friendship and
good will to the Latin Americans
when, after plowing through a gale
and rough seas, the battleship Mary-
land entered the Gulf of Fonseea and
landed Its distinguished passenger first
at Ampala, Honduras. There, at the
foot of an old volcano, were assembled
President-Elect Vincente Colindres and
his cabinet and several thousands of
his countrymen, and to them Mr.
Hoover extended the friendly greeting
of the United States and urged a closer
relationship among
the Western world.
after luncheon, he met La
Union by high officials of Salvador,
and again told of the desire of North
Americans for amicable relations and
mutual understanding with their Latin
American neighbors,
Corinto, Nicaragua, was next
port of call and it was reached at 11
next morning. The little city was gay
with bunting and flags and thronged
with people In holiday attire, Presi.
dent Adolfo Diaz, President-Elect Mon
cada and former President Chamorro
all were there to welcome the visitor.
The cabinet was there, too,
were leaders of the factions that have
quarreied so desperately over the rule
of Nicaragua, except naturally the
Sandino rebels, Everything seemed
peaceful and The American
marines from Managua had jolned
those stationed in Corinto and, com-
manded by Gen. Logan Feland, they
made a brave parade. Incidentally,
85 of those marines were taken aboard
the Maryland to serve as escort to Mr.
Hoover thenceforward. In greeting
Mr. Hoover as he stepped ashore, Mon-
cada, Diaz and Chamorro all deciared
their confidence that he would be a
real friend to their country at this
time which Is so eritical. The visitor
responded only Informally, but after
the colorful demonstration in the town
he took the most prominent of the
Nicaraguans aboard the Maryland for
luncheon and then spoke more at
length. Diaz and Moncada both strong-
ty advocated the bullding of the Nic-
araguan canal, declaring its construc-
tion would be economically advanta-
geous and also a bulwark to the liberty
of the American republics. To the
correspondents General Moncada sald
the American marine forces In Nicara-
gua should be reduced gradually to
about 1,000, but that it was necessary
to keep that many there while the na-
tional guard was being formed and
trained. Altogether, It was an auspi-
cious day for Nicaragua.
Next day the Maryland reached
Punta Arenas, Costa Rica. All ships
in the harbor were dressed, the shore
batteries exchanged salutes with the
battleship, the bands played and the
inhabitants cheered. The Hoover
party left almost immediately for San
Jose, the capital, where it was re
ceived by President Cleto Viquez and
most of the other distinguished Costa
Ricans and all the natives that could
make thelr way to the city.

the annual report of Maj. Gen C.
P. Bummerall, chief of staff of the

ts unfit for Immediate action in the
event of war, because of the skeleton:
izing of units in past years, The gen-
eral efficiency of the army, says the
general, is unusually high, but he
gives warning that the country must
face the fact that the regular army
and National Guard divisions are In-
complete fighting organizations, and
that considerable time must elapse, in
event of a national emergency, before
they can be completed and trained for
satisfactory operations on the battle

Included in the report was the an-

committees would then report their

sald to the press that the fallure of
past limitations conferences had been
attributed to military men and that,
while he personally did not think they
were responsible, he would prefer to
see both committees composed of non-
military men. He declared that this
country’s naval policy had never been
competitive but had always been de

ATHER NEPTUNE has been In a
horrible temper of late and has
stirred up terrific storms on the At-
lantiec and other waters, The worst
effects were felt on the coasts of Eu-
rope and on the Black sea. Many ves-
selg were sunk or driven ashore and
the loss of life undoubtedly was con-
siderable. The gales did not stop at
the coasts but swept over the land, be
ing especially severe in England and
France. On the other side of the
world, a great typhoon devastated part
of the Philippine islands and It was
belleved at least 200 lives were lost.
The damage to property was up In the
millions. Red Cross workers and re-
lief supplies were sent from Manila
on warships,
To be classed among minor disasters
is the Influenza outbreak In and about
Los Angeles. Several thousand cases
were reported, with about two score
deaths. The motion pleture colony in
Hollywood was especially hard hit
The veteran actor Edward Connelly
and Mrs. Sadie Miller, mother of Patsy
Ruth Miller, were among the dead
there, and many of the stars and di-
rectors were on the sick list. Many
of the public schools In the reglon
were closed.
