r' BURNSVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1932 News Review of Current Events the World Over Porto Rico Devastated fay a Hurricane—Gandhi’s Fast Ends in Victory—De Valera Tells League of Nations What Ails It. By EDWARD W. PICKARD O NCE again the "storni of San Eusepio" came out of the south ern Atlantic ocean on the feast day, ef that saint 'and swept across Porto Rico as It did in 1928, leaving , a terrible trail of death and de struction. For hours the hurricane raged, tearing down build ings, ruining, the cof fee and fruit crops and killing and'maim ing the people of the unhappy Island. Gov. James R. Beverley thought the dead Gov. Beverley would number well over two hundred and the injured more than a thousand. The property damage has not been estimated but it certainly will run into many millions of dollars. Broken communication lines and .roads blocked by debrl^ made the gathering of accurate information slow. '.Before reaching Porto Rico the storm strtick the Virgin islands, killing 15 Iverson's, sinking many vessels and wrecking buildings. Later it hit Baitl and Santo Domingo. • ' Most of the fatalities in Porto Rico were In the country districts, for the authorities of San Juan, fojewarned, placed many hundreds of the resi dents in the solidly built schools and. churches. The property losses in the city, however, were heavy, especially on the ocean front. Governor Beverley was prompt in starting relief machinery. He formed an emergency committee and placed ample insular funds in its hands. his order the police impressed Into service prisoners in ail the jails, let ting them work without guards at clearing the roads and streets and reopening communication facilities. The governor of course reported the cendicions immedhiteiy to Washing- Cen and the Red Cross ordered its chief supply officer to the island and sent- a destroyer with medical sup plies. M ahatma gandhps “fast unto death” won a striking victory for the little old Hindu holy man, for the caste Elindus and the untonch- ables, hnrrylng to save bis life, agreed npon a compromise electoral plan that was fairly satisfactory to Gand hi. It was hastily accepted by Prime Minister MacDonald and the British cabinet, and thereupon the mahatma broke bis fast with a few sips of a lime concoction. For more than six days he had partaken of nothing but water wltb salt or soda in it. and the physicians at Yeravda jail said he could not have survived much longer. The compromise plan provides that 148 seats in provincial legislatures be held by the depressed classes and that a percentage of seats In the cen tral legislature be reserved for them. It also provides a system of primary elections. These special features are to end after ten years. In accepting this plan, the British government pointed out that some de tails still remained under considera tion. The official statement said this did-not Imply opposition by the gov ernment. - Gandhi, though born a caste Hindu, has been making his fight f)r the de pressed classes, and it Is possible that his victory may lead to revolu tionary changes in their treatment. However, some authorities declare that the gulf between the four castes and the untouchables is of too many generations’ standing to be wiped out in a day or two, even by the ukase of religious leaders. W HEN the League of Nations as sembly opened its thirteenth an nual session in Geneva, Eamon de Valera, President of the Irish Free State, was In the ehair as president of the league council, and he took the op portunity to tell what he thought of the league and Its fail ures. He spoke with out restraint, telling his gloomy hearers that the league had lost the world's con fidence because it bad not boldly tackled the major problems that came before it, nota bly the situation in the Far East and the question of disarmament. “People are complaining that the league is devoting its activity to mat ters of secondly Interest while vital international problems of the day are being shelved or ignored,” he con tinued. “People are saying that equal ity, of states does not apply here in things that matter. “People are becoming Impatient at the apparently meager face-saving re sults of successive league conferences and meetings. They are inquiring whether these conferences justify the burden of contributions to the league’s budget. Finally there is the suspicion that little more than lip service is paid to the fundamental principles on which the league was founded “There Is a suspicion that action by the league In the economic sphere is paralyzed by pressure of powerful national Interests and that If a band is. raised against the covenant suffi ciently strong It can smite with Im punity." This iast obvious allusion to .Japa nese controlled Manchuria was fol lowed by a warning that the only way to silence criticism of the league Is “ta shdw unmistakably that the cove nant is a solemn pact of obligations which no state will find it possible to ign^e." Disarmament, he also declared, was a flop and a bluff. The Lausanne conference on reparations, he admit ted, was a miid success, but he made it clear It was not the fault of the league. Nicholas Politis of Greece was elected as the president of the assem bly. What that body would find to do was uncertain. The reception and discussion of the league’s commission on Manchuria already had been postponed for at least two weeks at the behest of Japan, and tbe statesmen were not agreed even upon the establishment of dis armament, financial and economic com missions. To make matters worse, the steadfast refusal of Germany to take part In the sessions of the disarmament conference effectually stoppe’d up that august international body for the time being. The steer ing committee in a quarrelsome secret mefeting considered the demand of Ar thur Henderson for immediate con vocation of the general conference then ann6u»icea'''ii’liUd udjoiirnea until October 30. D emocrats now are in control of the United States senate, out numbering the Republicans by one. This comes about through the ap pointment of Walter Walker by Gov. William H. Adams of Colorado to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Charles W. Waterman. So the upper house now has 48 Demo crats, 47 Republicans and one Farm- er-Laborit& There was uncertainty as to whether the new man would serve in the lame duck session of congress or only until a successor to Waterman is elected November 8. B oth the Republicans and the Democrats professed to have high hopes of carrying Iowa in the Presi dential election, but their claims are unsettled by the an nouncement of Sena tor Smith W. Brook- * hart that he will be in the race for the senate as the nomi nee of the "progres sive” party, expecting to draw support from both the major par ties. His decision came three months after his defeat in the Republican pri mary by Henry Field. He admittedly has a large following among the Iowa Re publicans, especially in the rural dis tricts. The Democrats had expected that Brookhart would follow the ex ample of his brother progressive Re publican, Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, and come out flatly for Franklin D. Roosevelt for President J OUETT SHOUSE, former execu tive chairman of the Democratic national committee, gave the Califor nia Democrats a shock by the an nouncement that Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, of which he Is president, would support Tallant Tubbs, Republican nominee for sena tor from that state, rather than Wil liam G. McAdoo. the Democratic choice. Sbouse said that McAdoo bad not made bis position clear on tbe prohibition question. He stated also that the association feared the cause of prohibition repeal might be re tarded or embarrassed by the elec tion ot McAdoo. It therefore urged, he said, that California advocates of prohibition repeal vote for Tubbs. F obs of President Machado of Cuba reopened their campaign of assas sination, their victim being Dr. Clemente Bello, president of the sen ate, leader of the Liberal party and the man slated to succeed Machado at the bead of the government Seven men in an automobile fired five vol leys from a machine gun at Bello as he was leaving his home, and he was struck and killed by eleven bul lets, His chauffeur also was mortally wounded. Within a few hours alleged government agents had retaliated by slaying three prominent oppositionists. Dr. Ricardo Arango, and Representa tive Gonzalo de Andrade and his two brothers. A fourth leader of tbe Con servatives, Dr. Miguel Aguilar, was fatally wounded. H -OW to arrange the financing by the Uecoustriicrion Finance cor poration of the sale ot lo.UUO.Utiu or more bushels of northwestern wheat to China has been taking the uiten- Cion of President Hoover and the in terested federal agencies. Negotia tions have heen opened with China and though the final arrangements had not been made, it was said in Shanghai that the deal was practical ly assured. It Involves about SU.OOO,- 000 ID gold. The grain Involved in the proposal would come from producers of the Northwest on whom shipping costs have borne heavily. The relief act authorized the Reconstruction Fi nance corporation to make loans for financing foreign sales of surplus ag ricultural products where they “can not be financed in the normal course of commerce" and where they will not “affect adversely the world mar kets for such products.” G eorge Washington’s famous trowel is being put to use quite often these days. The latest occasion was the lai’ing of the cornerstone of the new $10,000,000 post office build ing on Pennsylvania avenue. With Mrs. Hoover an interested spectator and bundreda of others gathered about, Mr. Hoover wielded the tool that the Father of his Country used In laying the cornerstone of the Cap itol in 1793. He slapped on the mor tar and the stone was swung into place, a real mason tested tbe block with his level and pronounced it truly laid. Postmaster General Brown told the crowd that the day was the one hundred and forty-third anniversary of the founding of the postal service, Senator Smeot spoke briefly, and the President then delivered an address dwelling on the function of the postal service in the making of the nation. F ive eminent citizens have agreed to act as a commission which will ‘survey the transportation situation in this co’'ntry” and. report such recom mendations for relief and betterment as may appear wise to them. The commis sion is sponsored by the National Associ ation of Mutual Banks, and the an nouncement of Its creation was made by Walter Bennett, New York hanker, on be- ,^alj. of t,'ie associa tion. Calvin Coolidge, former President, is chairman of the com mission; and the other members are Bernard M. Baruch, financier and rail way director; Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York; Clark Howell, publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, and Alexander Legge, president of the international Harvester company and former chairman of the farm board. The commission is tlie result of mo bilization of virtually every bank. In surance company, and major business association in the country for a con certed effort to convince congress of the imperative necessity of immedi ate legislation to protect the financial foundations of the railroad Industry. Its survey will include all the trans portation facilities of the nation, in cluding busses, trucks, pipe lines and other carriers, as well as the railways. R epresentatives of tiie Rail way Labor Executives’ associa tion called on President Hoover, ask ing administration intervention In the matter of the proposed railway wage reductions which they opposed “at a time when there are some hopeful signr that the depression may have run its course." Mr. Hoover also talked with railway presidents and Secretary of Labor Doak, and the lat ter then Issued a statement that the President felt it was desirable that the question should be deferred until the end of the year, since the present wage agreement does not expire until February 1. G reat Britain’s national gov ernment, formed last October to meet the financial crisis, experienced its first break when tliree of the most Important Liberal and Labor members of MacDonald’s cabinet resigned. Their action followed a disagreement over the tariff proposals approved at the recent empire conference In Ot tawa. The ministers who quit, stat ing these proposals were Incompatible with their free trade principles, were Viscount Snowden of Ickornshaw, lord privy seaL former leader of the Labor party, and Sir Herbert Samuel, home secretary, and Sir Archibald Sinclair, secretary for Scotland. Sir John Gilmour was moved from minister of agriculture to home sec retary and his former portfolio was given to Maj. Walter Elliot Sir God frey Collins took Sinclair’s place. The Simon Liberals in the house still sup port MacDonald. N OTABLE among the deaths of the week was that of John Sharp Wil liams, former senator from Mississippi. He was seventy-eight years old and had been ill for months. Williams was known for his scholariness and his bltingly sarcastic political oratory. P RESIDENT HOOVER appointed Representative Charles R. Crisp of Georgia as a member of the tariff commission to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Lincoln Dixon of In diana. Crisp was defeated for the senatorship nomination in the Demo cratic primary and so Is classed as a lame duck. However, his appointment will not be criticized because of his Iona and able services in the house. PLAN BIG WHEAT SALE TO ORIENT R. F. C. May Finance Export of 15,000,000 Bushels. Washington.—-In a White House con ference with represetiitives of the Re construction Finance corporation, the farm board and the Department of Ag riculture, President Hoover set in mo tion machinery for the export of ag ricultural surpluses, with the p,articu lar view of marketing in China and the Orient 15,000,000 bushels of north western wheat. The conference followed upon sug gestions of farm co-operntives aligned with the Farmers National Grain Cor poration that there was a possibility of finding an Oriental market for the surplus grain, involving an $8.- 000,000 transaction, If the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation would pro vide the financing. In the present congressional enlarge ment of its authority the corporation was vested with power to finance the foreign sales of farm surpluses likely to have a depressing effect on current prices. This would be the first opportunity to use the new ma chinery. If the negotiations are successful and the potential foreign purchasers are signed up, f.arm board officials ex pect a highly salutary effect on the general tevel of wheat prices in this country. A sympathetic firming of other farm commodity prices alsi' would l>c expected. The wheat con cerned in the negotiations is farmer- owned through co-operatives. No farm board holdings are involved, tlie board practically having completed the liqui dation of its graui. Although any political aspect to the meeting here was denied, the atten tion being paid.by the White House to the export of grain was in line with the program of constructive economic action on which the President's friend.s are relying mainly in their appeal for his re-election. Italy’s Wheat Harvest Will Feed the Nation Forli.

Springfield, III.—No further ntrernpts to resume work in coal mines near Springfield, where factional differences led to a fatal street riot, wll! be made “until the situation changes." accord ing to officials of the United Mine Workers of America, Twenty-five members of the United .Mine Workers of Aineric.a, including organizers and officials, were at lib erty on bonds of Sl.OtKl each pending grand jury action on charges of incit ing to riot. Tiiey were arrested fol lowing a street battle in whicli a police man was killed, two niiner.s seriously injured and a score more cut and bruised. When the prisoners were released on bond several hundred members of the Progressive .Miners of America, a rival labor movement organized in op position to a reduced wage scale'ac cepted by the United Mine Workers, gathered across the street from the Springfield jail. To prevent a repeti tion of the riot between the two fac tions. police hurried the United Mine Workers out of a rear door into taxi cabs and out of town. Garnett Smith, president of the Her rin local of the United Mine Workers of America, was exonerated of the killing of Detective I’orler Williams in the rioting.

President Eamon de Valera of tha Irish Free State, in opening the as sembly of the League of Nations, as tounded its members by telling them the league had lost the confidence of the world by its failure to grapple firmly with the problems set before it. DE VALERA ASSAILS LEAGUE OF NATIONS Tells It Why It Has Lost the World’s Confidence. Geneva:—Eamon de Valera, presi dent of tbe Irish Free State executive council, opened tlie thirteenth assem bly of the League ot Nations to re port, not on the accomplishments of the past year, as is the custom, but on the temper of the millions oeyond the walls of the assembly ball. He found public opinion distrustful as tbe league faces a test which may presage "ultimate dissolution.” The delegates of fifty-three coun tries—Argentina, Honduras and the Dominican republic not being repre sented—heard witli liostiie amazement the indictment of this newcomer, who reported complaints that the ieague occupies itself with secondary prob lems while diskmiameut, the Japa nese invasion of China and the eco nomic depression are “shelved, post poned or Ignored.” - dolycai.es. of ri^e prinmnal coun t's went. I’rom the' assenroly to the disarmament hall, where Hugh it. Wil son, American minister to Switzerland, joined them, and there they postponed the bureau of the disarmament con i'ei’ence to October 10. They expect to effect another adjournment by ask ing a session of the general commis sion, which requires a month's notice. The coldness of Baron Konszantln von Neurath, German foreign minis ter, to British overtures, coupled with the reaction of M, Herriot’s address in which he accused Germany of seek ing to rearm, convinced the statesmen that It was hopeless to expect the return of Germany to the disarma ment bureau now. Democrats Now Control United States Senate Washington. — Democrats gained mathematical control of the senate when Gov. W.

PORTO RICO HIT RY FIERCE STORM Several Hundred Killed and Crops Destroyed. San Juan, Porto Rico.—A hurricane swirled through Porto Rico and lum bered on, leaving a death toll that probably will mount Into hundreds, and property damage that will final ly be calculated in the many millions of dollars. Gov. James R. Beverley early esti mated the dead at more than 200 and the Injured at 1,000, but said the fig ures surely would be revised upward. It was the ‘'storm of San Eusepio,” named on the feast day of that saint, when the dread winds first started their relentless northwestward course out of the equatorial Atlantic. When All was over much of the island was devastated, just as it was by the. storm of San Felipe in 1928, when hundreds lost their lives and $85,000,- 000 in property damage was wrought. After the storm has left Porto Rico Governor Beverley lost no time In starting relief machinery. He formed an emergency committee and gave it Instructions to’find shelter and food for the many thousands of destitute and homeless. He saw that Insular funds were placed in the committee's hands, pending a definite relief pro gram. The governor's couriers, sent out to gather information on the hurricane, brought him back information upon which he based his estimate of the dead and Injured. Because of broken communication lines there was no way ot telling how many dead there were. Kafaei Veve, Jr., assistant general manager of the Fajardo Sugar com pany. arrived in the capital after a fatiguing journey of eight hours from Fajardo, only 30 miles away. “All the towns between Fajardo and Carolina, more than half the dis tance to. the capital, were leveled,” Veve said. “All the plantation houses were destroyed. There were 39 dead ,al Fajardo when T left at 8 a. m. and I saw about TOO dead between Fajar do and Carolina. I .can well Imagine thousands dead in tbe districts I trav ersed.” Starting ’ shortly before midnight, the 120-mlle wind lashed San Juan •uiid the hinLcilaii^, wrecking,.build ings. ripping the roofs from houses and blowing down their side walls, and ruining the valuable citrus fruit and coffee crops. The loss in the -fruit crop alone Was estimated at $7,000,000. after a personal inspection of part of the area of devastation. Governor Bever ley said the damage to the coffee crop would be even greater. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.—The Virgin Islands suffered severely as a result of the hurricane which struck here. Property damage was estimat ed at $200,000. Fifteen lives were lost and boats were sunk in the har bor.
