News Review of Current Events the World Over France, Alone in Blocking Hoover Moratorium Plan, la Warned by President—Feat of Globe-Circling Flyers. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ECRETARY O F the Navy Adums ordered the cruiser Memphis from Gudq- taaamo, CubQ, to a position near Nica raguan waters for use If the rebel movement in Nicaragua should become serious. The gunbont Ashe ville also slur.cI up the east coast « I < < n Secretary tral America from i Adame Canal Zone. Advices received at Panama City by officials of the Standard Fruit Steamship company at Cristobal said three United States marines were killed in an attack by a large force of bandits on the cohiniissary nt Log town, Nicaragua, seven miles fronr Puerto Cabezas. Puerto Cabezas is on the northeastern coast of Nica ragua. The three marines listed as killed In the reports to the steamship com pany were Capt. Harlan Pefley, Lieu tenant Darrah and Sergeant Taylor. Several native employees of the com missary also were killed, the report said. Rev. Karl Rergener of Watertown. Wia, a Moravian missionary in the Prlnzapolka district, was reliably re ported killed when Cape Gracias a Dios was captured by Insurgents. Other American residents of Cnpe Gracias a Dios Include Albert nnd Ed win Fagot of New Orleans, and. Wil liam J. Green of Allegheny. Pa. PAIN S UTH NICHOLS, Rye (N. Y.) a via tri x, set a new speed record for «women over a three-kilometer course st Detroit (slightly"lew than two miles) with a speed of .210.085 miles an hour. Amelia Earhart Put nam held the previous record of 181.- 157 miles an hour. Miss Nichols flew the Lockheed- Vega plane in which she set a woman’s altitude record In March, over an official course laid out near the flying field. Harry H. Knepper of the Nation al Aeronautical association, checked the flight, Snd R. A. Leavell, another aeronautical official, timed the race. Miss Nichols made two round trips over the course and the speed was the average of the four timings. In the trips against the wind she was timed at 191.036 and 202.814 miles nn hour, and with the wind the timet were 221.825 and 226.880. ' - The only comment the avlatrlx made was that “there wasn’t anything par ticularly exciting about the flight.” R ROHIBITION DIRECTOR WOOD cock announced a new high peak In federal prohibition enforcement for the month of March, with more ar rests snd more automobiles seized than In any similar period since July. He declared It was “the best month the bureau has had since I took office nearly a year ago. Notwithstanding the increased activity the courts more than kept up with us. There were 23,- 583 cases on the docket at the end of February and only 21,548 on April 1. “Further," he claimed, “we have es tabUshed a definite trend In these fig ures showing that the average of fines Is steadily decreasing while the aver age of jail sentences has been steadily increasing in the nine months since prohibition enforcement was trans ferred from the Treasury to the Jus tice department.” P HAIRMAN JAMES C. Stone of the federal farm board said in a recent state ment that Russian ac- tlvitlM In the dump ing of wheat “were largely responsible for d c m o r s I 1 s I n g the world market and necessitating a re newal of the wheat stabilization opera James C. tions the middle of Stone Isst November to pre that collapse vent further effects of from being felt In our own market.” That is to say, the Cumplng of Rus sian wheat Into the markets of Eu rope at any price It would bring was largely the cause of that great ac cumulation of wheat In storage which now embarrasses the board and the market. That llussla was the main cause of that calamitous slump in wheat last November Is n fact that is not questioned by responsible author ities anywhere In the world. Yet little or none of this wheat came to America. The tariff on wheat for la practically prohibitive. Russia. And we can if we wish el fectlvely prevent the entry of any Russian products. That, however, will Dot enable us to escape the conse quences of Russia's prodigious econ omic progrem, the most extensive and the most audacious economic experl- meat In the world's history. It need not touch us directly st nny point but wo cannot escape it. Russia Is I d a position to make the price In the world market, and It will not be a profitable C Much the same situation is develop lag in relation to lumber and oil.

It Is turning that timber Into lumber In order to realise cash or credit on II from Ito sales In the msrkets of the world. The effect on lumber pHces The world of the established order political Is settling down to normality S under the republican role, but the subject of the status of Cata lonia Is not yet set tled. Alexander Ler roux, minister of for eign affairs, went to Barcelona, center of the stormy province, the other day to sound out the intention* of Don Jaime de Col. Francisco Macia Bourbon and his Catalan fol- |o>’Ing who demand rather more than, autonomy for Catalonia. It has been considered likely that Lerroux will be the first premier under the new con stitution which will be drafted by the constituent cortes. Restoration of the Spanish mon archy, with himself on the throne, is the ambition of Don Jaime de Bour bon, the Carlist pretender, who Is now sixty years old -but vigorous and full of schemes. It is reported that Gen. Mip tines’Anldo, his chief ipilltary aid, has gathered an army In northern Spain and expects to overthrows the republican regime. But pretenders sel dom have any luck In such ventures, and the government at Madrid probab ly isn’t worried by this threat' , NE more member of the federal farm board—the third within a few months—has resigned from that body. He is Samuel R. McKelvie, the wheat member of the board, and he said, that as his term had just ended presidential acceptance of his resig nation was not necessary. His succes sor has not yet been announced. Mr. McKelvie, who took part In the re- cent grgin conference in London, will retire to hte-large live stock ranch In Nebraska.
