man alliance with Russia to prevent
the contamination of a peace treaty,
for the United States to take an active
part in offsetting such an alliance. Ku-
rino wished 1t clearly understood, how
ever that he had not received any in
structions from his government and
there had been no suggestion of an Of
fetal or unofficial character from him to
the state department that the United
States should be enlisted in it's support.
His views were the result of his personal
information of the extent of the United
States interests In the east.
Kurino was asked what the result
would be If China's procrastination or
foreign interference prevented ratifiea-
ton of the peace agreement, "Then,"
he replied, war will be renewed May
with far more vigor and determina-
ton than before"
PREPARED FOR FORCE.

INRERVIEWED AS TO NICARAGUA
Governor Budd of California Is for
Twisting the Lions Tail.

San Francisco. April Ex-Governor
James II. Budd, democrat in referring
to the Nicaraguan difficulty, says:
1.-The United States should never have
allowed the British marines to set foot
on Nicaraguan shores. We should have
demanded that England submit her
claims to arbitration and we should
have forced her to do so. If diplomatic
protests were not needed there should
have been American marines in Cor
into to prevent the invasion. The Mon
roe doctrine expresses the policy of the
United States, as it does the sentiment
of it's people, and this is a violation of
the spirit of that doctrine No Euro
pean country can be permitted to get
into a position to control the Near
aguan canal and it would have saved
trouble in the future If our government
had drawn the line there.
Let war with the United States be
the consequence of aggression on this
continent, and there will be no aggres-
sions.'
