ASKS SPORTS PARK
ON COLUMBIA ISLE
Citizens Association Recon-
mends CoIored Bathing
Beach Be Established There.

Approving the development OF Co
jumbIa Island, the reclaimed area in
the Potomac river opposite the Airing
ton experimental farm. into a public
recreation park. similar to Belle Isle,
near Detroit, the Barry Farm Citizens
Association, through Elzie S. Hoffman,
president, brought the matter to the
attention OF Secretary Weeks yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Hoffman strongly advocated the
location at the east end of the island
of the bathing beach for colored peo-
pie, for which Congress has appro-
priated $4,000, with facilities nearby
Tor base ball, lawn tennis aud other
outdoor sports. The island could be
made easily accessible. Mr. Hoffman
said, by the establishment of a ferry
from the District shore near the
of mole from the bridge itself near
the Virginia end to the island.
Another approach to the island, he
said, will be provided when the pro-
posed Memorial bridge from the Lin
coin Memorial to Arlington cemetery
10 constructed.
Secretary Weeks said the PROPOSE
tion would receive due consideration,
but that it seemed to involve more
money than is available at present
Lieut.. Col. c. o. Sheriff. in charge OF
public buildings and grounds, origi-
nally selected Columbia Island as the
site of the colored bathing beach, but
there was so much objection on the
part of certain colored residents OF
the District that plans for putting II
there were abandoned.

EXPORTERS EXPECT
SOUTH AMERICA TO

Southern Countries Can Use
all Surplus Products
of U. S.

Washington, d. C., Feb. 17-More
and more exporters of the United
States are looking to South America
as the consumer of the surplus prod
ucts OF this country. While this does
not mean that opportunities for re-
newing commercial relations with the
nations Of Europe are being overlooked
it is recognized that South America
can be made "our best customer"
To that end the administration.
through the State Department and the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce in the Department of COM
merce, is bending every effort to build
up a community of interests between
North and South America.
As evidence that this is bearing fruit
it is pointed out that only within the
last few weeks Chile and Peru, who
have been ready to fly at one an.
others threats for a generation over
the Tacna-Arica dispute have made
President Harding the arbitc, Of that
controversy, relying upon him to ad
just their differences satisfactorily
and honorably to both.
More recently it has been announced
that Costa Rica has entered into ar
agreement which will permit the con
struction of another isthmian canal
While this may not be built at thi!
time, because of prohibitive costs, thu

FRANCE PLANNING A
MORE ACTIVE ROLE
IN PACIFIC OCEAN
Intends to Develop Posses
sions Which Possess
Great Wealth.
By PAUL SCOTT M0WRER
Special Cable to The San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
CopyrIEht, 1928.

Copyright, 1898.
Paris. Feb. 1.-THE French gov
eminent is considering the naming OF
Albert Sarraut, former governor-gen-
eral Of Indo-China and now minister
Of the colonies, to a new post which
would make him governor of all the
French possessions in the Pacific and
Far East. Such a step would signify
on the part of France an intention to
play henceforth a more active role,
both politically and economically in
the region of the Pacific.
The French government and people
were astonished at the time OF the
Washington conference at the appar-
ent ignorance of foreign opinion gen.
orally and of American opinion in
particular of the extent and potential
wealth of the French colonies in the
Pacific and hence they have been
spurred to a determination to bring
these colonies to the attention of the
world. The report of Deputy Rey-
naldy on the four-power Pacific treaty
which with the other Washington
treaties. will doubtless soon be rati-
fled including the following sentences:
Frances situation in the Pacific
is not comparable TO that of the other
three great powers, but nevertheless
it is very important. Besides Indo-
China, France there possesses numer-
Gus rich islands, susceptible Of great
development not only because of the
fertility of the soil, but because of
their geographical situation. Let
them be developed by supplying them
with capital and labor and they will
quickly attain unexampled prosperity,
because they lie on the great maritime
highway at medium distances from
| other ports Of call"
Enumerating the advantages Of the
treaty. settlement, Reynaldy con-
| tinues:
Frances rank as a. great Pacific
power is due both to her past and
to her oceanic possessions. France
will be consulted if grave events oc-
cur and her insular possessions will
thus be secured against sudden attack.
So long as the treaty of 1907 with
Japan remains in force, Frances con-
tinental possessions are also guararH
teed."

Candidates for Republican
Leadership Execute Quick

Aboard Henry's Band
Wagon-Believe More
Politics Than Sincerity in
the Flop.

Washington, ID. C., Feb. t7-There
may be more politics than sincerity in
the sudden change of attitude on the
mart of Republican leaders now urging
speedy congregational action on Henry
Ford's bid to cquire Muscle Shoals
and, the immense power plant there.
Men who a few weeks ago were
known to be heartily in sympathy with
efforts to prevent action on FOrds
offer are now urging that the matter
- given .erious consideration and i'm
plying. if not declaring outright, that
they favor acceptance of the Detroit
automobile manufacturer offer.
Longworth Flops.
One Of the notable examples is Rep
reSentative Nicholas Longworth Of
Ohio. Although he had never ex-
pressed himself publicly it is known
that, until a short time ago, he was
with the administration forces pre-
sumed to vigorously oppose letting
Ford have Muscle Shoals. 1t so hap
pens, however, that Longworth de-
sires to be Republican floor leader in
the next House and many western Re-
publicans favor. Ford. 3 Ergo, Long
band wagon, so far as Muscle Shoals
is concerned, and in a speech declared
Congress should not think of quitting
without action on the Ford offer.
Not to be outdone by Longworth,
Representative William J. Graham of
Illinois, also a candidate for Republi-
can floor leader, came forward with
few well chosen remarks, also urging
action on the Ford offer All this has
heartened the Ford advocates but their
10y was considerably increased when
Representative Martin B. Madden of
Illinois, chairman of the appropria-
tons committee, came out flatfootedly
and unequivocally for the Ford offer
and Madden had been counted with
the opposition.
Republicans Figuring.
The Interpretation to all this Is that
the Republicans figure it is good party
politics to make a gesture Of giving
Muscle Shoals to Ford. The cold
blooded truth, however. is that there
isn't one chance in a thousand OF OBJ
tanning complete action before March
4, and all measures still pending in
this Congress die on that date. How
ever. If the House acts on the Ford of
fer there would be less excuse for max
ing Muscle Shoals an issue in the next
campaign or if il were so made the
Republicans could reply. well, we
started on the Ford offer; give US
time"
Stop Presidential Boom.
Moreover, it is suggested, the Re.
publican managers may feel that il
they have Henry Ford tied up in a
government contract for the purchase
OF Muscle Shoals he would be in no
position to seek the presidency. 1t
wouldn't look just right for man who
has a S100,000000 contract with the
United States to be an applicant for
the presidency as well.
There is no doubt but that Muscle
Shoals ia a factor in the Ford presi-

dental boom. The farmers are be-
coming aroused for they are sold on
the idea" that if Ford gets Muscle
Shoals it will mean cheaper fertilizer:
Some of these farmers are rated as
Republicans while the Democratic
farmers haze been counted on by the
McAdoo forces. Even. the railroad
workers are looking to Ford as u sort
of Messiah because of the way he
treats the employees on his own rail-
roads,
