HOOVER SPEEDS
CANAL SURVEY

President Hoover yesterday or
dered Army engineers to expe-
dite their survey of the proposed
Nicaragua canal.
The President took this action
after a conference with Col. Har-
~ Burgess, governor of the Pan.
anna Canal Zone. who reported to
him that the interoceanic water
way is necessary.
President Hoover talked with
Colonel Burgess about the pro-
posed construction of the Ala
juela dam, to store the waters
from a river of that name and
provide more reserve water for
the Panama Canal during the
dry season. This Is also among
the proposals which Army en-
gineers are surveying.
It was stated that a broader
Panama Canal is necessary and
that it may be more economical
IN the long run to dig the great
waterway across Nicaragua than
to rebuild the Panama Canal.

UNREST

LONDON. May 14.-tF-Bombay
dispatches to British newspapers

hostility to the British government
In India. 1t was said that unrest

Liberals, as saying: "In 80 years

hatred Of British rule to be 80 in

Particularly did the long state
ment Of Viceroy Lord Irwin an
nouncing the projected round-table

that even the Moderates of India

1T is very interesting to note
that you are emphasizing Browns

writes. There are a lot OF rich
Americans who have the time and
the means to crafty their desires
and who would unquestionably be
attracted by the fine sport avail
able In the territory Of which
Brownsville is the center.
1T has often occurred to me
that you have at your back door
an extraordinary opportunity for
some very outstanding publicity.
Spearing wild hogs from horseback
is a sport of the whole British
army in India, with hundreds Of
sportsmen from England, going In
for it every year"
Mr.. Laird suggests that half a
dozen American sportsmen be ap-
preached on the subject Of pig
sticking on an organized basis. and
added that he felt positive that the
attendant publicity would be bene-
fetal to this section.
