ACTION IN NICARAGUA.

The sending Of United States troops
from the Canal Zone 10 Nicaragua, the
order for which was withdrawn last
night. but may have TO be renewed
before long. would have been an un-
usual hut not unprecedented incident.
If il is legitimate 10 land n dozen
marines on waterfront 10 protect an
American office or residence. IT Is
equally legitimate To land regiment OF
infantry and send ii a dozen miles IN
land for the same purpose. II is as
much an invasion 10 land marine
as an infantryman, and 10 occupy the
shore as 10 march 10 the heart of the
country. On former occasions the
United States has done both, with en-
tire justification and without any rea-
sOnable reproach.
The justification in any case IS that
of necessity for the protection OF
American citizens and their property.
More than half centu-T ago. when
Mexico was In a disturbed md dis
orderly condition, the administration
Of President Buchanan authorized it's
minister In that'cOuntry TO have such
forces landed from our warships as
might be needed 'for the protection or
american citizens whose persons or
property he might believe to be in
danger" That was n sound and sane
act, and It forms n precedent when
has repeatedly been followed ana ihe
legitimacy Of which has never been
lmpeached. 1t has been explicitly re
affirmed In recent years, In formal
declarations OF 1.-THE right which this
government has always held. 10 land
"forces and adopt al. necessary meas
'ures 90 protect the life and property
"of our citizens, whenever menaced by
'lawless acts which the general or
local authority is unwilling or imDo-
"tent to prevent"
There is In this no such thing as
political intervention or oppression or
impairment Of the sovereignty OF the
government Of Nicaragua. That gov
ernment's sovereignty IS compromised
by its own obvious failure to fulfil
its international obligations. II 1t
gave security TO the lives and property
Of American citizens the United States
would not dream Of interfering in its
affairs. and 1t does not now cOntem-
plate Interference beyond the doing Of
urgent things which the Nicaraguan
government will not or can not do.
Our act IS In no sense one Of hostility
to Nicaragua, nor will it involve any
political domination over that country.
Rather will it be an act Of kindness
in protecting our citizens and their in
terests. and thus saving Nicaragua
from the staggering demand for In
demnity which we might lawfully
make if we stood al0Of and let her IN
testine disorders run their mischievous
course. An invasion for prevention Is
certainly preferable to an invasion for
rauoratIon

A LESSON ACROSS SEAS

PARTITION AND REACTION.

The partitioning Of Turkey and
China, which has been proposed. would
be another repetition of history. and 50
would be the inevitable sequel thereto
whether IL came soon or late. The
story Of the nations of the world is
very largely record Of partitioning,
Of agglomeration and Of partitioning
again. The names of AssyIia, Babylon,
Persia. Macedonia and Rome suggest
the repeated practice of these proc
esses, as well as those of Russia, Tur-
key, Poland, France and Austria-Hun-
gary IN later years. 1t has been the
rule for huge composite empires to fall
asunder through their own structural
deterioration or 10 be broken into
