NOGALES, SOLDIER OF FORTUNE, HERE Champion of Latins Tells of Their Plight, but Withholds His Business in City. . Gen. Rafael de Nogales, one of the most picturesque characters in the world today, soldier of fortune who has fought for many flags and as many | causes, close student of Latin-American politics and a dynamic personality vitally interested in righting what he are the wrongs of the world by diplomacy if possible, by the sword and | machine gun, if necessary, is in Wash- ington over the week end on business: he regards as “nobody’s business but Calvary Baptist Church, and on mmlllf‘;em‘. himmymmdt?ber 20, in Austral del in inner at While convention delegates will be Quartered in many of the city’s homes and hotels, four of the latter have been clety; Raleigh Hotel, Pension Fund, and the Hamilton Hotel for the Board of Education The headquarters of the International and World Conventions will be at the Wi Auditorium and the Youth mine” but anxious to tell of the present conditions in Central and South America.

Many Washington young people will take part in the Youth Convention, which will hold its third annual gath- in connection with the disciples’ conclave, October 15 to 18, inclusive. Mass assemblies will be held at the Luther Place Memogial Church, though headquarters will at the Vermont Avenue Church. Among the local young people who have been active in this movement are Rev. M. Elmore Turner, pastor of the “Takoma Park Christian Church; Kath- erine Wilfley, daughter of the pastor of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, and Mrs. Cora Hazes, general chairman on local arrangements, of the Fifteenth Street Christian Church. The discussion theme will be “Shar- ing World Highways With Jesus.” This theme has been separated into so-called pre-convention discussion outlines for use in a preliminary study of problems to discussed at the convention. These four general outlines are “The Highway of Economic Justice,” “The Highway of Racial Brotherhood,” “The Highway of World Peace,” and “The Highway of Christian Unity" During the past few months these subjects have been taken up in detail by young peo- ples groups, including missionary circles, Christian Endeavors, and church clubs throughout the country.

I was a member of the staff of Field Marshall Von_der Goltz at Kut-el-Amara. “During the war I was Turkish mili- | tary governor of the coast of Pales- | tine and second in command of the garrisons at Jerusalem, Bethlehem and | Transylvania. I was the last Turkish military governor of Turkish Sinaf, | from where Gen.

His bespeaks the tremendous vitality, Iatent energy of the man Finds Outlet for Energy. In his interview yesterday he was| anxious to get down to the plight, as sces it, of the people of Latin America, and leave off explaining why he believes himself an authority “Just one thing more about myself —I was & guest of the former Kaiser, at Doorn, two years ago. It is the plight of Latin America that interests him. There, he says, he finds the cutlet for his energy. “You know.” he said, “though they . shaped by conditions of the Western Hemi- sphere, essentially alike in their pas- alon for freedom and for daring, the people of Latin America and the United States are nevertheless essen- tially unlike in temperament, as well as in most of their traditions. The causes of the dissimilarities must be takén into consideration for us to get a sound basis for understanding. “Your United States was once a British colonial possession. Here men of England’s best—intelligent, liberty- loving, resourceful, vigorous in mind i and body, adventurous—planted settle- ments, established law and soclety in conformity with the principles of Eng- lish civilization and the Anglo-Saxon temperament, and, in due time, because they were Americans, won freeds from Britain and established them- selves as a new and individual Nation. “To the south of you was the vast tion of this known as impatiently every action the . English, had not schooled the colonies |a man of the educated classes to do | 10 hours a day under the broiling sun Mexico and Central America, and| farther south, another continent. This territory has been colonized by another race, the Latins, and, with the ex- ception of Brazil, by one Latin people, the Spanish. In this enormous domain the culture, the speech, the law, the soclety and ideals were Spanish. Yoke Unbound in Time. “In due time they also threw off the political yokc of the mother coun: try. Theirs was the harder task, be- cause the Spanish system, unlike the in co-operation because no European powers lent them aid as in the case of the northern colonies and because they also had to contend with the opposi- tion of their church, which was more firmly entrenched in the land, as well as in the loyal faith of the people, than was the imperial power of Spain. But in time they unbound that yoke, | and what had been a vast colonial possession became a number of repub- lics, each self-governing. “You see, we Latin-Americans are a different people, compounded of heredity and environment. We are a different people shaped by different surroundings, conditions, climate, “Our 20 republics do not owe their independence to any one but them- selves—with the possible exception of Panama. If only a few of these re- publics have kept step with the United States in industrial development, the lagging is due, in part, to the long struggle against a retrogressive ecclesi- asticism and in part to climatic con- ditions. “The tropical climate does not permit manual work in & factory or on a farm. The Americans and other aliens in the tropics do not attempt it, though they do in the temperate climate of the United States. Only ‘peons’ can work of our lowlands, which comprise 75 per cent of our lands, and live. No other demand is made on their energy, whereas much more is demanded as the social and national contribution of the man of higher intelligence and culture. “Now about this Nicaraguan Canal proposition. That interests me, for I have gone into it from the Nicaraguan's viewpoint. “Gen. Augusto Sandino, the ‘uncon- quered’ Nicaraguan, contrary to gen- eral opinion, is not at all opposed to the construction of the canal. What he objects to, I know, is the way the matter has been so far planned and | carried out. The United States, through the Bryan-Chamorro treaty, has acquired the right to build and operate the canal without taxation for $3,000,000. Sandino tells me only half of that sum was actually pald to the | Diaz administration in Nicaragua. Of | that half, paid to politicians who are now discredited, little, if any, seems to have gone into the country's treasury.| So, at least, says Sandino. | “Sandino, who did his share of fight- ing to get rid of Adolfo Diaz, simply claims that the latter was bribed into betraying his people, and that Nicara- gua's present President, Jose Maria | Moncada, is being bribed with equal | success to abide by a bad bargain, ‘Wants Joint Stock Company. “Sandino has told me several times that what he wants for the canal is a | joint stock company, half of the stock | to be bought by Latin American na- | tions and by Nicaragua in particular, and the other half to be owned by the United States and other nations. The $3,000,000 already paid by the United States would be applied to the full purchase price of the shares. This, | S8andino says, would give Nicaragua a steady income with which to build rail- roads, highways, sewers, power plants, etc., without having to appeal to for- elgn capital. “There has been a great deal said | about the backwardness of the Central American republics and about the bene- ficial results of American economic and | armed interventions. “After my recent trip to Central | America I have come to the conclusion | that their backwardness has been fos- tered by dollar diplomacy, and that | revolutions and troubles have been for stirred deliberately by this diplo | macy's agents in order to win conces | sions from temporary puppet govern ments. | “It is my ief that if Haitl, Santo | Domingo, Cub: Nicaragua and the rest of the Central American republics had been left alone instead of being made to wallow in a state of artificially fostered anarchy, they would have been ble out their own salvation and follow in the footsteps of Chile. Argentina, Uruguay and others. “T can't, of course, deny that Amer- jcan capital has created a certain amount of material progress in the Caribbean and in the Central Amer- ican countries.

Evidence that under the original zoning of Washington too much of the total area was zoned for commercial use is seen by Rufus Lusk in figures just compiled as a of the com- munity survey of the Washington Board of Trade, which reveal that only 30 per cent of the existing first commer- cial zones are actually so used. The actual amount of property here in actual commercial use is close to 50 feet for each 100 inhabitants, it was reported by Lusk, director of the survey for the trade body. A survey of the amount of commerclllg)ropeny in use in 43 towns was found to be 50 feet per 100 inhabitants, he points out. Business Use Proportion Varies, The amount of commercial property that is in use for business varies with different sections of Wdhington, it In the congested section, vania avenue to K street and from Seventh to Seventeenth streets, more than 79 per cent of all the frontage is in commercial use. In the Southeast section less than 10 per cent of the frontage zoned com- mercial is used for business; in the Northeast, almost 11 per cent; in the Southwest, 32 cent, and in the Northwest outside of the congested business section, more than 39 per cent is in commercial use. “These figures,” said Mr. Lusk, “in- dicate that when the city was first zoned too much property was gzoned commercial. This does not mean that in some sections there may not be need for more commercial property, but it does mean that miles and miles of streets have been zoned first commer- clal, most of them for 10 years, and are not in use for the purpose for which they were zoned. “It is obvious that zoning could not be expected to equal exactly the amount needed, but it would appear that in certain’ parts of town the experts who laid out the original zoning map were too liberal with commercial frontage. Cltes Chicago Report. “The Chicago Regional Pllnnh’lf As- sociation, in making & study of the amount of business frontage used in 43 towns, including Chicago, found that on an average 50 feet of commercial property is actually used for each 100 inhabitants. In our survey we found that this was almost true in Washing- ton, as there was 252,000 feet of com- mercial frontage actually used commer- cially, which is close to 50 feet for each 100 inhabitants. “These figures were obtained by get- ting the total commercial frontage in the city from the zoning office and then actually measuring on the ground the frontage in use.” trals, as in Porto Rico, has ruined the independent growers and leasers of that country. The investors in the Carib- bean countries have been getting quick and large profits through the exploita- tlon of virgin markets by means of peonage and scrip, which, every one knows, are based on hunger wages paid the peon for trading in the planta- tions’ commissary stores. “Those investments turned, unfor- tunately, into a veritable curse for the majority of inhabitants of the Carib- bean countries. Dollar diplomacy's trusts have aimed stematically at the elimination of in- dependent growers and leasers, freezing them out by making them dependent on the trusts’ centrals, or by forced loans or by refusing to buy their crops ex- cept on their own terms. “Those investments, which I call the dollar diplomacy, have been anything but a boon for Cuba, Porto Rico, Santo Domingo, Haiti and some of the Cen- tral American states, 80 far as the majority of their people are concerned. “I tell you, all over South American military juntas are being organized in order to stop at all price the economic penetration of the republics to the' south of the United States, of the dol- lar_diplomacy.” Gen.

Representative Louis C. Cramton of Michigan, who goes out of office March 4 after 18 years in the House, plans to devote himself during the coming session of Congress to two projects in Which he has been deeply interested. The Michigan “dry,” who was de- feated for renomination at the recent primaries, will seek to expedite the de- velopment of the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the establish- ment of a national monument area in Vll‘finh, including the area about 'vXu lamsburg, Jamestown and York- wn.

As far as the parkway system within the Capital City is concerned, adequate legislation has been passed, Mr. Cram- ton explained, so that there will be & progressive development with author- ity for acquisition of desired sites be- fore they are despoiled by real estate and other projects. He intends o confer at the earliest possible date with Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, who is executive officer of the National Capital Park and Parkway Commission, as well as being associate director of the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration. He will also confer with leaders in both House and Senate. With work progressing rapidly on the Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard, Representative Cramton believes that no time should be lost in co-operation with the States of Maryland and Vir- ginia in acquiring the necessary land for the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Under a law which Mr. Cramton himself introduced, the President now has authority to establish a national monument in the Virginia area com- monly known as “The Cradle of Lib- erty,” about Jamestown, Willlamsburg and Yorktown, as soon as the boun- daries of the desired area have been definitely determined. Demand for Early Action. Due to the fact that the sesquicen- tennial of Lord Cornwallis’ surrender to Gen. George Washington at York- town is to be celebrated there on Octo- ber 19, 1931, in which the United States Government has invited foreign na- tions to participate, Representative Cramton declares that there is general Nation-wide desire that early action should be taken to establish this na- tional monument. He is author of a bill which author- izes the expenditure of $500,000 to | acquire the land for this national mon- ument and hopes that the appropriation will be made this Winter for the actual purchase of the land. Up along the Potomac River, in the region of Great Falls, a of sur- veyors' towers has just , a8 the engineers proceed with the task of tri- angulation, under the Cramton act, and up above the trees survey the potential area to be included in the parkway. Survey to Take Three Months. Capt. E. N. Chisolm, jr., engineer of the National Oapital Park and Planning Commission, explained yesterday that this survey is expected to take about three months. Data secured first hand near the river banks will enable the commissiont to have plats prepared, so that the Government may tell owners of property the number of square feet or acres that are desired for the park- Wway. ‘The survey is a necessary preliminary to progress under the Cramton act, Capt. Chisolm said, and it is proposed to survey the area adjoining the river bank from Great Falls to the boundary line of Alexandria, Va., at Four-Mile Run, on the Virginia side, and on the Maryland from Great Falls to the Dis- trict line and then picking it up again at Blue Plains and going southward to Fort Washington. In the survey, triangulation work will be done, some topography and the loca- tion of taking lines accomplished, so that the potential boundaries of the parkway may be mapped. Owners of the property will be consulted as to the lines of their properties. After the surveyors have finished, blueprints and maps will be drawn up in the commission’s offices and another great step forward in the accomplish- ing of the purposes of the Cramton act will be taken.

Reduction of the death rate from | tuberculosis in the District was report- | ed yesterday by Dr. George M. Kober, | president of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, in an in- | troduction to the triennial report of | the organization. | “The battle against disease is mot | yet finished, though progress has been | made.” Dr. Kober wrote. “The death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis in the District has been reduced from 266 per | 100,000 population in 1900 to 92 per 100,000 in 1928, a decline of more than half in mortality from this disease. The meaning of this decline in terms of life saving is that 961 persons now liv- ing would have died from tuberculosis last year if the death rate of 1900 had still prevailed. D. C. Sixth From Highest. “But while noting this evidence of progress, we must not overlook the fact | that Washington still ranks sixth from | the highest in tuberculosis death rate among 12 cities of its population class. | The only cities where the tuberculosis | death rate is higher than in the group referred to are Southern cities, in which the large colored population is & determining factor. “The tuberculosis death rate in 1928 for New Orleans was 159.8; for Nash- ville, 155.5; for Atlanta, 120.4; for San Francisco, 198.7 (probably due to a large influx of consumptives); for Bal- timore, 99.8, and for Richmond, 92.1. “It is gratifying to know that the white tuberculosis death rate has been reduced in Washington from 183 in 1900 to 51 in 1928 (which is 28 points below the general average in the United States registration area); the colored death rate during the same period has been reduced from 492 to 226. The great difference in the death rate of the two races suggests the need of a| careful study of the causes, and in the meantime greater efforts must be made in preventive health work.” Dr. Kober added he believed the higher mortality in the colored popula- | tion was due to poor housing condi- tions, overcrowding, inadequate and improper food, insanitary surroundings within and without their premises and lack of personal hygiene. Cites Aristotle’s Views. He expressed the opinion that “a great deal of good can be accomplished by efforts in the right direction. Aris- totle, one of our ancient and most philosophical physicians, showed his sanitary acumen when he declared in his ‘Politica’: ‘The greatest influence on health is exerted by those things which we most freely and frequently require for our existence, and this is especially true of water and air. “To which I have added food. I have repeatedly demonstrated the cor- rectness of Aristotle’s aphorism by a study of the vital statistics of Wash- ington and other cities before and after the introduction of pure water and sewers, with which we are happily supplied. “I am convinced, however, that our poor colored and white neighborhoods are still shamefully neglected in the way of inspection of yards, alleys, the removal of garbage and other refuse which cause pollution of the air and engender bad housekeeping. Health is our chief vital asset and source of happiness. Sickness among our less resourceful neighbors means great financial losses, and in many instances is a cause of poverty and distress. The most rational method of prevention of | disease will be found in the develop- ment of a strong, virile race, capable of resisting disease in general and tuberculosis in particular.” Coste's Check i.n Four Colors.

After Missing Broker Seized in Seattle. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 11.—W. E. Willard, held in Seattle for check frauds, was tralled across the conti- nent by a series of worthless checks, it was announced at the attorny gen- eral’s office today. Willard disappeared last August, and subsequently his brokerage firm was enjoined from stock operations and he was indicted for grand larceny. Prancis Farrell, deputy attorney gen- eral, said Willard sold shares in the First Illilnois Co. and the First Partici- pating Corporation and defrauded in- vestors, mostly poor people, of $500,000 through an installment plan scheme. In addition to his office here, he had offices in Hudson, Nyack and White Plains, N. Y.; Bridgeport, Conn., and Aurora, Ill. Worthless checks have been cashed by Willard, it was said at the attorney general’s office, at the Plaza Hotel in San_Antonio, Tex.; at a Los Angeles hotel, and later in San Antonio again. Edith Harrison, arrested with Willard in Seattle, was questioned here at the time of his indictment, but later re- leased. A detective left for Seattle today with an extradition warrant.
