Senator Raxnor,s Speech.

What is the significance of Senator
J Ravnor's denunciation of President
lzelaya in the Senate Monday? Sena-
|tor Raynor had submitted resolu-
Ition authorizing the President of the
limited States to apprehend the
president of Nicaragua and try him
flor the murder of two American citi-
liens. to determine whether or not
Zelaya is guilty, and if proven guilty,
that he pay the forfeit of his crime.
As is customary the resolution was
referred TO the committee on foreign
relations, but Senator Lodge in Offer
ling this motion expressed qualification
at finding Senator Raynor aligned
Il with the administration in the course
that has been taken in the Zelaya
matter. and Senator Cullom, chairman
of that committee gave notice that he
would have something to say when
the resolution came from the commit
tee.
The general tone of Raynor's
speech, the fact that it was delivered
| in the present crisis. the words of
Senator Lodge and the suggestion by
Senator Cullom, all indicate that there
is trouble ahead for Nicaragua's
president.
Senator Raynor's arraignment of
Zelaya was most bitter. There was
no man on the floor of the Senate who
cared to offer anything in rebuttal.
From this distance it looks as though
Senator Raynor spoke for the admin
istration. He presented facts and
conclusions which could hardly with
propriety be contained in state
document, yet, which were of such
general public have recognizance of
them before further action be taken
The Senator directed his Philippe at
Zelaya, the Individual. rather than the
unhappy country he has misgoverned.
This seems to be in accordance with
the temper of those who have in
vestigated the situation and know the
facts. 1t may be that Senator Ray
nor did no speak for the administra-
ton, that he simply expressed his per-
sonal views, and that Senator Lodge
simply saw in them nothing that was
at variance with the position of the
administration. 1t may be that Sena-
tor Cullom intends to oppose the
resolution when it comes from COM
mittee, but the press dispatches indi-
cate to the contrary. In any event
pense.
