MANAGUA, Nicaragua, December 5.
President Zelaya, alarmed at the
gathering forces of the United States
and realizing that his period for blus-
tering has passed, has asked that the
American government send commits
sion TO Nicaragua to investigate con-
ditions here, in the mean while with
holding the dogs of war.
He states that if the findings of
the commission are to the effect that
his administration of the Nicaragman
government is detrimental to the peace
and interests of Central America. he
will resign from the presidency. The
belief of the President, as stated in
his request to Washington, is that
prejudieial information respecting him
and his administration has been sent
to America by those interested in the
success of the revolutionists and that q
disinterested investigation will show
| that the reports current concerning him
