LEAGUE HELP
BEING SOUGHT
BY NICARAGUA
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

GENEVA, Aug. 27.-The
American continent sud-
denly and sensationally en-
tered the domain of posi- l.
BILE league Of nations politi-
cal activities today when
Nicaragua filed a protest
against Mexico, alleging a
free booting expedition by
an auxiliary Mexican war
ship to help Nicaraguan
revolutionaries overthrow
the government.
Nicaragua, in it's note of protest.
does not request specific league ac-
ton, but Sir Eric Drummond. secre-
tary general of the league, has for~
warded the protest to all members of
the organization as well as Mexico,
non member. The secretary general
has also communicated 20 the Mexican
government that, in accordance with
the regular procedure fthe league,
Mexico may forward the league MEM
bers any communication which it may
considerable desirable in connection
with the Nicaraguan note. The
league covenant provides that noii-
members shall be invited to accept
obligation of membership in case Of
a dispute between memebrs and nom
members.
This is the first time a Latin
American dispute has come before the
league and SO opens the question as
to what attitude the league will adopt
in dispute arising on the American
continent The covenant prohibits
any action affecting the validity of
the Monroe Doctrine.
The league is awaiting an answer
to the Nicaraguan accusation, so that
both sides may be told. There is
speculation as to whether the protest
will merge into a definite appeal for
information from the council as a
matter affecting friendly relations,
especially as the Nicaraguan foreign
minister has denounced Mexico to the
world as having flagrantly violated
the rights of the Nicaraguan republic
by the use of force.
Should this occur, the council would
make an investigation and recommend
such action as seemed best. Them
if Mexico refused to accept temporary
membership in the league and resorted

ate against her
The note of the Nicaraguan foreign
minister concludes:
II have sent strong protest to the
Mexican government in regard to it's
illegal conduct sand I denounce it to

it's power in violating the fundamen-
