Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to Sonwth America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded for the United States, are to be gained from the interesting story written by Rex Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX COLLIER. ‘The slow, uphili, twisting journey by | government “ferrocarril” from Punta- renas to San Jose unfolded to President- | elect Hoover and his party a panorama | of tropical luxuriance more than jus- tifying its designation by the early Spaniards as the “rich coast.” So rich with the gifts of nature were those shores when first discovered that they had become a rendezvous for buc- | caneers and freebooters, lured by tales THE EVENING STAR, WASHIN TON, D. ., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ———— 5, 1929." of hidden mineral wealth or desirous of raiding the country’s supplies of | luscious fruits and nuts and vegetables. In the eighteenth century, the azure | waters of the Guif of Nicoya, where| lay anchored now ths trim battleship of | good will, had heen infested more than | once with sailing vessels from whose | masts fluttered the grim skull and cross bones of the Spanish Main. The great- er part of these activities had centered on the eastern shores of the country, | however, where the “costa rica” was | 1apped by the pirate-ridden Caribbean Sea. Steps Ahead of Neighbors. Costa Rica had suffered from these forages to such ar extent that her col- onization and development had been a slow and painful process, the American visitors were advised; but, once freed from bondage, the nation had progressed at “double time.” Now she was leading all Central America in education, was prominent in the movement for Pan- American peace and had become an imi- portant factor agriculture, industry commerce. an"["he Costa Rican is proud of his country’s achievements, and the gov- ernment officials and chamber of com- merce representatives on the special train lost no opportunity to supply their guests with data concerning their na- tion's march to prosperity. No Lagging of Interest. There was no lagging of interest dur- ing that journey from the hot Pacific lowlands to, the temperate interior plateaus of the Costa Rican Cordilleras. The rapid climb from the coast to the mountains carried the party from the warm banana belt to the cooler coffee country of the highlands, and along a seenic trail of gorgeous natural splendor. From their comfortable private -car Mr. and Mrs. Hoover could see, for the first mile or two of the journey, the sun-bathed surface of the snug harbor in which the Maryland had come to rest, and glimpses of th» disappearing tiled rooftops of languid Puntarenas, far down the slope. Train Circles Obstacles. The train started climbing the mo- ment it put the seaport behind it, and the ascent continued almost without in- terruption for mile after mile. Costa “Ricen railroad engineers apparently- find it easier to circle obstacles than dig a way directly through them, and in consequence thereof the picturesque route frequently doubled upon itself as it wound its way gracefully around rocky cliffs or along hillsides densely covered with a jungle of undergrowth, palm trees, century plants and strange wild flowers. ‘The bsnana country seemed hardly awake, although the sun was high in the heavens. Plantations, pointed out by those familiar with the section, needed careful scrutiny to be recog- nized. They seemed mainly to consist of forests of young banana trees, with a small adobe hut concealed in some shady bower of palms. Little evidence of activity was apparent anywhere. - Children Wave at Train. Now and then a native, machete in hand, paused in his inspection of the yet green bunches of inverted bananas to watch the passing of the train, and sometimes a family of little ragamuffins emerged from a stockaded front yard to wave at the passengers. President-elect Hoover learned that,’ under Costa Rica’s liberal farm policies, parcel of cultivatable land, and that this program of agricultural relief has done much to eliminate poverty in the re- | public. One problem met with in the | banana regions is the necessity for find- | “A MARMON OWNER” “Have owned several other cars, but Marmon has been superior to them all.” JOHN H. PEARSON, U. S.

Hoover arrived there last November. A snapshot of the throng which packed the streets of Costa Rica’s capital city when President-elect stant banana culture. Bananas may be raised profitably in one spot for about a decade, after which the fruit suffers materially from lack of nourishment in the soil. Rivalry Disturbs Industry. One of the party's informants dis- closed that the whole banana industry has become disturbed of recent years as a result of rivalry between the United Fruit Co. and independent concerns. The American company, it was indi- cated, has obtained a virtual “corner” on Costa Rica's bananas. Serious traces of ill feeling have resulted from the ag- gressive business activities of the United company, it was said, the unrest at times having given rise to anti-Amer- izan agitation in the republic. The Costa Ricans insisted the agita- tion against the United States orig- inated with “outside interests,” and that reports to the effect that Costa Rica was unfriendly to the United States were unfair. In this connection it was as- serted that the appeal made to the League of Nations to interpret the Mon- roe Doctrine had been voiced by “a minor official,” and that his action had been widely disapproved in Costa Rica. As the train moved doggedly upward to the inland plateau the type of scenery changed quite noticeably. On the heights the climate is too cool for growing bananas, but not for the crim- son coffee berries, which could be view- ed in holly-like . clusters on the tail bushes along the railway. Midway be- tween the banana section and the cof- fee regions, there existed a zone where both crops were grown in the same fields. The dark green leaves and red berries of the coffee bushes contrasted sharply with the light green stalks of the palm-like banana trees. Crisp Air Stimulates Activities.. ‘The crisp air of the highlands plainly stimulated all native activities. More haciendas were apparent, with inter- esting signs of life apparent. There were clearings in the coffee fields, where the sun was baking down on great dry- ing yards, covered with recently gath- erad berries in the process of being cured. Coffee once had been Costa Rica’s principal export, but the de- velopment of the banana industry had shoved the beverage bsan into second place. It is understood that Mr. Hoover in- quired as to the status of the rubber industry _in Costa Rica, and that he was given to understand that the prices demanded for labor made the gather. ing of rubber a difficult business propo- sition. ‘While the wages of day labor in Costa Rica were said to be higher than in some other Central American countries, attention was called to the curious fact that services of persons in the advanced technical professions could bz obtained for relatively small considerations. It was stated, for example, that German engineers are willing to work there for $300 a month, whereas the American engineer demands $1,000 a month for his services. The foreigner, as a rule, gets the job. The Hoover train made only two or three operating stops during the run to | ing new crops to supplant bananas after | San Jose. On each occasion the coaches | the soil has lost fertility through con- were besieged by groups of native wom- en and children with pots of steaming “cafe,” ready to be mixed with hot milk and serve to the traveler in slight- ly used tin cups; trays of tacos, con- sisting of ground meat and peppers in a shell of baked dough, and baskets of bananas, oranges and prickly pears. Few members of the party could muster nerve enough to try the coffee, but they sampled freely the tongue- scorching tacos and the green-skinned, but perfectly ripe bananas and oranges. Mr. and Mrs, Hoover decided to save their appetite for the awaiting them in San Jose.. Photographers “Scooped” by Coaches. The arrival in the capital city will be remembered keenly by photogra- phers with the Hoover party, because of an unfortunate incident that prevented them from “shooting” the reception at | the depot. It was their own fault, however. They swung off the train with their heavy equipment as the cars slowed down at a way station, just outside the center of the city, believing the main depot had been reached. But the train | did not stop and they were left dum- founded, on the platform. Happily, a taxicab was available near- by, and the cameramen managed to cafch up with the party a few minutes later in front of the American embassy. (Copyright. 1929, by The Evening Star.)

Litvinoff, as- sistant commissar for foreign affairs at Moscow, yesterday. M. Patek will sign for Poland, while Rumania will send a speceial delegate. The fact that Lithuania will join the other states did not become known here until yesterday morning. The ad- vices from Kovno did not reveal just why the government of Premier Wal- demaras had changed its stand on this project. About a week ago. it was stated that Lithuania, like Finland, would hold aloof from the protocol. Pet Rooster Crows by Rule. LAKELAND, Fla.

ROME, February 5.—Formal an- nouncement of an accord between the Vatican and the government of XtalyJ may be made a week from today. A re. port to this effect caused much com- ment in Vatican circles yesterday, al- though some personages there were doubtful that a solution of the Roman question would be found so soon. It was generally believed that if Pope | Pius decided to give out the news on February 12, he would do so in con- nection with the celebration in St. Peter’s of the anniversary of his cor- onation as Pope. At that time he will be surrounded by his cardinals, while i St. Peter's there will await him patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, heads | of congregations and of religious orders, ecclesiastical, military and lay . officials, | as well as a thousand or more faithful of the church from all nationalities. Should he decide on this method, the | Pope would probably go through the|s formality of asking the cardinals for advice about the solution of the vexed problem, Simultaneously, the official news of the event would be communicated to the diplomatic body accredited to the Vatican in order that the representa- tives may communicate it to their re- spective governments.
