NICARAGUA HEAD CALLS MARINES’ AID NECESSITY By the Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 6.— President Jose Maria Moncada, in dis- cussing Nicaragua's politics and rela- tions with the United States today said that it was wise and imperative that United States Marines continue to of- ficer and train the National Guard. He acknowledged that the Monroe doctrine had been a most effective method of preventing European inter- ference in Central American affairs, but believed that it called for more material aid from the United States in main- taining peace and developing & repub- lican system of government. He said that American action hitherto had been more like the words of a professor. He intimated that Nicaragua was not ‘consulted when the Clayton-Butler treaty was made in 1850, and said that his country remained the most inter« este\‘il party in the proposed interocean canal.

The buzzing of the radio about the daily activities of Comdr. Richard E. {Byrd in his Antarctic exploration yes- !terday reminded geographers of the contrast of 20 years ago, when Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary discovered the North Pole and the world did not learn of his deed until five months later. On April 6, 1909, Admiral Peary reached the Pole and the first word that the world had of the discovery of this goal of -explorers for centuries by an American was received Septem- ber 5, when he cabled his wife from Labrador, In contrast, the modern Arctic ex- plorer's feats are recounted almost simultaneously with their accomplish- ment over the wireless and cable—the flights of Comdr. Byrd and the late Roald Amundsen to the North Pole were broadcast immediately after they had reached that goal. Career Is Praised. In Waghington yesterday, the twen- tieth anniversary of the North Pole discovery was commemorated at the | grave in the Arlington National Ceme- tery of Admiral Peary, who died in 1920. Simple and dignified exercises were held beside the tomb. Comrades of Peary in the Navy, Capt. Curtis H. Dickins, chief of Navy chaplains, and Rear Admiral Luther E. Gregory de- livered prayers and an eulogy of the explorer’s career. The exercises were under the aus- pices of the Adm. Robert E. Peary Ship, Veterans of Foreign Wars which was joined by the National Geographic Society and the Civil Engineer Corps of the Navy. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Jahncke also participating in the exercises, At the same time on Capitol Hill, & move to award belated recognition to the members of Peary’s crew in his sentative Kelly, Republican, Penns; vania, announced that he would intro- duce in the new Congress a bill to grant gold medals to Peary's aides. Among those who would receive the medals are: Matthew Henson, colored, and Peary's only companion on his final dash to the pole from his, ice-bound steamship Roosevelt, and Capt. Robert ‘A, Bartlett and Donald B. MacMillan, the latter a tions. The news of the pole's discovery was flashed to the world by Peary from Indian Harbor, Labrador, in the follow- ing terse message to his wife: “Have made good.® I have the pole.” e the full stos ‘Then a few days later the story: of the discovery was related in the newspapers of the world by the Asso- clated Press. After traveling on an ocean tug from Cape Breton, 475 miles, to Labrador, two representatives of the Associated Press reached Peary—the rst newspaper men to hear and relate the complete story of the feat. In his book on the discovery which he pub- lshed later, Admiral Peary recounted that he greeted the Associated Press men with the words: “This is & new record in newspaper enterprise and ‘I appreciate the com- Pliment.” Three days later & boat carrying 23 other newspaper men reached the Pole veries. Admiral Peary's discovery of the Pole climaxed his quest of 38 years to reach that goal, which had been sought by explorers of many nations for several centuries. Twice before his 1909 ex- pedition Peary had falled. The third time he was successful, but for a time his laurels were blighted by Dr. Fred- erick A. Cook, who had reached civili- zation a year before with the claim of discovering the Pole. Cook, who had served with Peary on a previous ex- pedition as a surgeon, later was dis- credited. ——e. D. C.

Government officials viewed with sat- isfaction yesterday the action of Maj. Gen. Lassiter at San Antonio in send- ing 18 airplanes to Naco, Ariz, to see that Mexican rebel planes do not drop any more bombs on the American side of the international border. At the same time they continued ap- prehensive over the safety of inhabit- ants of the American town, through which bullets sprayed yesterday as reb- el forces launched an unsuccessful at- tack on the federal garrison in the Mex- ican town of Naco.

Watch Naco Battle. American military experts were watching the battle of Naco with espe- cial interest as the rebels were em- ploying aircraft, improvised tanks, cavalty and infantry in their attacks. They expected that reinfo: of the federal garrisons with the six aircraft would play an important part in determining the fate of the town which is one of the few in the state (‘;f Sonora _still held by the federal orces, ‘The further reinforcing of the Naco with the troops interned at Bliss, El Paso, after defeat at the battle of Juarez, was expected to be a factor favorable to the federals. Dwight W.
