San Francisco. April 2s.-Gov. James
H. Budd, democrat. in referring to the
Nicaraguan difficulty. says: THE
United States should never have al
lowed the British marines to set foot
on the Nicaraguan shore. We should
have demanded that England submit
her claims to arbitration and we should
have forced her to do so. II dipio-
matte protests were not needed there
should have been American marines
in Corinto to prevent the invasion. The
Monroe doctrine expresses the policy
of the United States, as 1t does the
sentiment of it's people. and this IL q
violation OF the spirit of that doctrine.
No European country can be permit
ted to get into a position to control the
Nicaraguan canal and 1t would have
saved trouble in the future II our gov
ernment had drawn the line there. Let
war with the United States be the
consequence of aggression on this con-
tinent and there will be no aggres-
sions.'
