Truman Includes Canada In
US Military Aid Programme
HEMISPHERIC DEFENCE PLANS REVEALED TO CONGRESS
Washington, May 26.
President Truman today urged Congress to enact legislation for a pro- gramme of full military co-operation with Latin-American countries, including the sale of arms, standardisation of weapons and training of naval and military personnel.
"Collaboration, authorised by the proposed bill could be extended also to Canada, whose co-operation with the United States in matters concerning their common defence is now of particular importance," the President said, in a message read to the House of Representatives and Senate.
This is the first time the President has publicly mentioned Canada in connection with hemispheric defence plans. Canada, has not previously been involved in discussions, since she is neither a member of the Pan-American Union nor a signatory of the Act of Chapultepec.

REVOLT IN NICARAGUA
San Jose, Costa Rica, May 26. Reports reaching here tonight from Nicaragua said that Leonardo Arguello, President of Nicaragua, was overthrown last night by the National Guard.
•
Dr Leonardo Arguello was elected president of Nicaragua on February 3 of this year and took office on May 1, succeeding General Somoza, 'who had held office for ten years.
Under the new constitution of 1939, the president is to hold office for six years.
Nicaragua, most thinly populated of central American republies, has coastlines on both the Atlantic and Pacific and a treaty with the United States, giving that country the option to build a canal through the country as an alternative to the Panama Canal. The armed forces of the country consist of the National Guard of 220 officers. and 8,318 other ranks, and the Const Guard.—Reuter.

South Africans In Winning Position
London, May 26. Glorious sunshine and crowds estimated at nearly 100,000 marked the second day of the Whitsun holiday cricket programme of ten first | class matches.
Apart from an exhilarating bat- ting display by Norman Munn, South African, who in a whirwind knock int Cardiff hit 07 runs in 65 minutes, there were many fine batting per formances. The best was that of the young Surrey colt, D.G.W. Fletcher, who made 192 not out against Nolts. He drove all round the wicket with great confidenes. -
Charles Grove, Warwickshico pace bowler, was in devastating form at Ulrmingham. At one period against Derbyshire today his analysis was 2.1 overs, three maidens, five wic kels for eight runs. He ended with xix for 44.
At Cardiff, South Africa domina- ted the play today, when Glamor- gan finished the second day's play needing 272 runs to avert an ́"in- nings defeat with five wickets in hand.
COUNTY FOLLOW ON After adding 193 in two hours be- fore lunch by aggressive batting, which delighted a holiday crowd of 12,000, the tourists dismissed tho county on a perfect wicket in under two and a half hours, making them follow on 361 runs behind.
