HOOVER LAUDS
PROGRESS MADE
BY PORTO RICO
President Is PeSSimiStic in
Views on Future of
VIRGIN Islands.
By United Press

By United Press
ABOARD U. S. S. ARIZONA, at
Sea, March 27.-President Herbert
Hooyer's visit to the West Indies
has given him strong hope for the
future development of Porto Rico,
but left him with only pessimistic
views regarding the Virgin islands.
The President, who is feeling fine,
but has been badly sunburned dur
ing his trip, made known his views
IN a statement issued as the Arr
iona speeded toward Norfolk, max
ing such good time that Mr.. Hoover
now hopes to reach Washington
Sunday evening. The weather was
cooler today and the trip more
pleasant.
Porto Ricans Praised
Continuation of the present stat
Us of Porto Rico and the Virgin
Islands was announced in the
Presidents statement, which said
the administrations policy also
provided for expansion of federal
aid, particularly in expert assistance
in health, agriculture and the island
industries.
The statement praised the work
OF the people of Porto Rico in their
magnificent progress in self-gov-
eminent" experimenting the for
NAL statement, Mr.. Hoover said
there was no serious consideration
given proposals for transfer of
Porto Rico to the interior depart
ment.
1t was known that high admin
istration officials have been in
clined to discard former views on
possessions and that the prevailing
thought now is that possessions
create erious problems, many of
which appear hopeless.
Purchased a POOrhOuse
The view in high quarters was
said to be that the Philippines may
not be part Of the United States
indefinitely although no change in
status is contemplated by the pres
ent administration.
In regard to the Virgin islands the
Presidents statement said that
when we paid $25,OOO,OOO for them,
we acquired an effective poorhouse,
comprising 80 per cent of the popu-
lation."
Viewed from every point with the
exception of remote naval contin-
gencies, the statement said, it was
unfortunate that the United States
ever acquired these islands.

FLOOD DISASTER
TOLL MOUNTING
China Needs Million Tons
of Food for Starving.

By United Press
SHANGHAI, Sept. 7-China's
acute distress from floods in seven
teen provinces was revealed today
in a survey that showed at least
100000 persons are suffering.
The number of deaths was i'm
possible to estimate, although a
Chinese news agency estimated at
least 100000 were drowned in the
Yellow river basin floods.
The Yellow river proved an even
greater menace than the floods in
the Yangtze river valley several
weeks ago. Refugees in these Sec
tons need at least 100000 tons of
food to maintain them until spring,
and the proposal to supply Ameri-
can wheat is regarded as only a
temporary means of relief.
Casualties in Kingsu, Honan,
Hupeh, Shangtung, Human, Anwhei,
Kiangsi and Chekiang provinces
have not been estimated.
Constantly increasing political
complications have made the situa-
ton worse. Despite pledges of
Chang Kai-Shek, head of the ma
tional government, that there will
be no war, the Canton army is adj
vancing in Human province.
