Wheat Gift to China
By Wealthy Is Urged

To the Editor of The Star:
In reading of the narrowing condi-
tons now prevalent in many countries
as well as our own United States due
to fire, floods, tornadoes and droughtS,
which have brought devastation Of
homes, loss of crops, starvation, disease
and untold suffering, 1t, would seem
that no call for aid should be I'M
needed.
Instead of burning wheat because
there is no sale, why could not our mil
lionaires buy this surplus at a reason
able price and present it to the starv-
ing Chinese nation, not only helping
our farmers but what a wonderful
blessing 1t would bring to suffering hui
mainly.
May many hearts respond to this
great need. /. H. DEXTER.

ting American lives and property and our canal rights through Nicara- |gua.
 Under an agreement negotiated by Stimson-then Coolidge's special |agent-at Tipitapa, the liberals and conservatives agreed to lay down their arms. One lieutenant, Augusto Sandino, kept fighting. With forces estimated between 150 and 800, he has roamed the northwest coast jun |gles for several years. The Guardia Nacionale, establish
 ed under the Stimson agreement, has been seeking to put down San- dino's followers-called bandits" by the state department mad patriots by themselves.
 Recently the Guardia concentrated against the Sandinistas along the northwestern coast. As result of this drive and of the recent Managua |earthQuake-impoverishing the west coast countryside insurrectionists, state department officials believe, have moved across country to the east coast.
 Their first point of attack was the district around Puerto Cabezas. where there are United States in- vestments in fruit and lumber run ming into many millions of dollars.
 Ofi1cials are waiting anxiously to learn what effect this new develop ment will have on their plans for liquidating the Nicaraguan occupa- ton.

NOnfteO Fre0s stan Correspondent
 Washington, April 15.-(UP)- Nicaragua again became one of the administration's grave problems to- day, scarcely six weeks before the date on which it planned to reduce drastically the marine forces sta- toned there for half a decade.
 Insurgents and the Nicaraguan iuardia Nacionale are battling in the east coast Jungles. Eleven Americans were reported dead in the Puerto Cabezas area on the east Nicaraguan coast in unofficial ad- vices from the Standard Fruit and Steamship company, dominant con- cern of the region, to its office in New Orleans. Official reports to the navy department said four United States citizens were killed in this district and three were missing.
 Meanwhile, tho gunboat Asheville is standing by at Puerto Cabezas to there, mostly employees of the Stand ard company, and its subsidiary, the Braggman's Bluff Lumber company.
 Representatives of these interests have been in conference with the state department. They are under stood to have represented strongly the need for adequate protection of life and property.
 Orders to Commander w. W. Waddeil of the Ashevilie from the navy department told him to protect American lives. but to leave fighting with the insurgents in the interior to the marine officered Guardia Nacionale.
 Anxious to end the Nicaraguan occupancy-much attacked in con- gress-the state department is striv- ing to avert open fighting between marines and Nfcaraguan insurgents.
 Two months ago Secretary of State Stimson announced that all but 500 marines would be withdrawn from Nicaragua in June. He hoped to have every marine out of the coun- try soon after the 1892 elections, which the United States has prom ised to supervise.
 dent Moncada's plan to use part of $1,000,000 credit to strengthen the native Guardia by 500 men-swell- ing it's ranks to about 2,000. Now, with the recent Managua earthquake necessitating large expenses for re- construction and with revived out breaks of insurgency to subdue, Nicaragua's ability to carry out the original program is an open question, officials hold.
 United States marines were sent to Nicaragua in January, 1927, when the country was torn by open warfare between liberals and conservatives. President Coolidge justified the in- tervention on the ground Of protect
