"There can be no peace and happiness among human beings without justice except by the butts of the guns, and that Is the kind of peace that NIoaragua enjoys now. "When Col. Henry L.

Sacasa, he definitely committed the United States to an unprecedented and indefensible act of tyranny against another nation, and tyranny will always bring violence and the shedding of human blood. "Col. Stimson did more than that. Waving in his hand the threat of forcible disarmament, he hastened to reach a secret understanding with the most prominent commander of the Sacasa forces, The sc-called Ti-pltapa agreement was nothing but a conversation, never put on paper, and without witnesses, between Stimson and Moncada.

"Three of the military chiefs operating against Diaz refused to obey the command to disarm; one of them was killed a few days later in his own residence, together with his woman companion, by a marine sergeant; the other two, Sandlno and Salgado, have been operating in the northern part of Nicaragua.

He submitted to the grilling of reporters with gopd grace, gently replying to a barrage of questions. He remarked that the "New generatldn In England cares nothing for musio at all." Some of 'his further comments on music and other things in his own country were: "The London Philharmonic is the most permanent institution In the world. It hardly ever functions.

Moscow, January 6. Communist enthusiasts may heatedly discuss the best way of building up a new Industrial Russia' on collective linos, but all present hopes for developing such schemes In fact depend on the Issue of the terrific secret struggle over grain prices which Is now being rought out between the wily Soviet administration and the no less wily and infinitely stubborn Russian peasant, who is the foundation upon which this whole Soviet edifice is being reared, and who Is beginning to realize this. With manufactured articles exceedingly scarce and costing from to 300 per cent, more than in 1913 In village stores, the Soviet is, nevertheless, leaving no atone unturned to down grain prices at the entirely ortlflclal level of 25 per cent, more than pre-war figures. It is trying to do this by broadcasting confidence propaganda, manipulating markets and ruthlessly suppressing the private corn dealer, who is ready right here in Moscow province to give the peasant 60 per cent, more than the State will for his oat crop.

For the Soviet knows that ithe price of failure will be not only an immediate further ris In the cost of living In the cities, with consequent higher wages and dearer manufactured articles, but also the impossibility of exporting grain at world market prices. The peasant Is retaliating by purely and simply refusing to sell his grain, even In buying flour from local mills, and the Soviet Is not getting that grain reserve for export upon which its whole foreign trad-lug apparatus and Its programme of today In Congress where, there were renewed strictures upon, and defenses of 'the administration's course. verbal warfare was set off by Senator Wheeler.

St. Catherine at Stanley Street OPEN TONIGHT AND SATURDAY Paris, January 5. Charles A. Lindbergh today was awarded the gold medal of the International Aeronautics' Association for 1927 for performing the greatest air achievement his flight from' New York to Paris In that year. The United States air hero was the unanimous choice of the delegates of the fifteen nations represented at the International Congress.

There was no other candidate, the American flyer winning, just as he flies, alone. The Congress also decided that the Gordon Bennett balloon race will be held at Detroit on June 30, entries closing April 1. The Schneider Cup races henceforth will be held every two years, Instead of annually. The altitude record established by the late Captain Hawthorne Gray, of -the United States army, was not officially recognized because Captain Gray died previously to his landing, and "was not In personal possession of his instruments" as required by the rules of the association. The Congress paid tribute to the dead aviator, observing a minute's silence.

He contended the United States was keeping that agreement. In a running fire with the Connecticut members, Senator Norrls, Republican, Nebraska, renewed his criticisms of the administration's course, and inquired whether the United States would not finally be supervising elections in Panama, Ireland and other places where there are contending factions. Debate In the House was comparatively brief, Representative Huddle-stone, Democrat, Alabama, renewing importing raw materials depend. Figures for the last quarter, October to December inclusive, prove this.

They will show an export surplus valued at roughly 11,000,000 rubles only, against 77,000,000 rubles for the same period of 1926. And these are months when by grain exports a balance Is obtained lor buying cotton, hides, from abroad. Therefore, the Soviet Import programme for 1928 has already been put out of gear. There is still time "Sandino has no personal ambition and, not being a candidate to the presidency of Nicaragua, his conduct is naturally unconventional. He rather represents the true manhood of his race and undoubtedly has the sympathy of the more conscientious among the Central American masses, who, intuitively realize that the policy of the United States Government in Nicaragua is meant for all Central America, regardless of quibbles and play words in the official proclamation of Government policies.
