Gen. Jadwin Ancon preparing to 20
to Nicaragua to survey the possibili-
ties of Nicaraguan canal. ne was
stricken with apoplexy, and cerebral
hemorrhage ended his life.
General Jadwin, who was born in
Honesdale, Pa, in 1865, was graduated
from West Point in 1890 and had a
brilliant career in the engineering
corps for nearly forty years, retiring
in 1929.
He served in the Spanish-American
war and the World war, but was best
known for his peacetime work in the
United States and in the Canal Zone.
The Jadwin plan of flood control for
mulated after the disastrous Missis-
sippi valley floods Of 1927 was the
army officers most important work.
The plan called for expenditure of
1926, 100000 and was opposed in con-
gress, but finally passed with admin
istration support.
NICEROY LORD IRWIN and Ma
hatma Gandhi, both making con-
cessions, reached an agreement for
peace in India, and the civil disobedi-
ence movement that had lasted for
year came to an end. The Nationalist
looked on the pact as triumph for
the doctrine of non-violence. The Brit
ish government, though it yields con-
siderable, probably gets none the worst
Of the bargain. BY the terms of the
agreement, it is understood. the Ma
tionalists abandon their resistance
movement and will work for qualified
dominion status in the second round
table conference. In return, their i'm
prisoned members will be released and
most Of the confiscated property will
be returned; they are permitted to
conduct boycotts that do not aim spe-
officially at British goods, and the poor
natives along the> coast are given the
right to make their own salt.
The most important gain for the
British was the point in which the
Nationalists agreed to confine them
selves at the next round table con-
ference to the specified scope of con-
stitutional questions calculated by the
first round table meeting in London.
This commits Gandhi to the principle
of federation of Indian responsible
ity, but with British safeguards COW
ering finance, defense, foreign affairs,
the position of minorities and the dis
charge of India's national debts.
CIR OSWALD MOSLEY, wealthy
~ British socialist, and his wife, Lady

of the Macdonald government.
