Zelaya Must Leave
U. S. Before Tuesday

Former President Zelaya of Nicar-
aqua has been given until next Monday
by the State Department to leave the
country. Impatient at the continued
delay of the Nicaraguan exile in COM
plying with The agreement by which
the government of the Central Amer
lean Republic agreed to drop extradi-
ton proceedings for the return of
elaya to that country, the department
has made ii plain to the former presi-
dent that 1t will brook no further delay.
The departments insistence that he
leave by Monday was quickened by the
rubi.ca ton in The Times early this
week of the substance of circular let
ters which have been sent to this coun-
try from San Salvador by partisans of
Iclsya. 1t was thought that these let
ters were inspired by the same interests
identified with recent plottings against
the present government of Nicaragua.
These letters contained bitter charges
OF collusion between the present presi-
dent of Nicaragua and Wall street.

being the Capita! of the United States,
and the Congress its constitutional leg
islature. with exclusive control over the
District, the legislators for the District
are elected by the people of the United
States to govern their Capital
Third-That the maintenance of the
District is and should be on a scale
commensurate with the dignity and po-
sition of a capital of a great country,
and that this is possible only when the
entire country materially supplements
that which is contributed by the citizens
of the District.
Fourth-That we believe that the peo-
pie of the United States realize their
obligations to themselves to assist in the
due maintenance of their Capital.
Fifth-That the half-and-half principle
of contribution. whereby the people OF
the District of Columbia contribute a
per capita of nearly s19, and the peo-
pie of the United States. including the
people of the District of Columbia. a
per capita of s cents. is neither unfair
nor burdensome to the people of the
country.
