NEED OF NAVY
IN NICARAGUA

Continued from Page II
Senator Randall, Democrat, Louisi-
ana, asserted Democratic support
would be given the administration
policy lin standing behind the
Diaz government in Nicaragua"
Shows Obreg0n Telegram
Along with his own statement, in
which he expressed the hope that
American forces would be taken
from the Central American republic
as soon as Americans were ascer-
tanned to be safe, Senator Borah
gave out a telegram from AlVaro
Obregon, former president of Mex
leo. Obregon approved the Borah
stand on Latin-American subjects
and spoke of violence inflicted
against the sovereignty and dignity
Of the Latin-American countries
with the sole purpose of protect
ing, as has been stated, private
rights of individuals and Ameri-
can enterprises, especially at this
time when moral principles Of right
and justice has been apparently
shipwrecked under the weight and
the influence of the big moneyed
interests and at time when brut-
al force seems to be trying to rule
the world"
Senator Berah's statement said
that as he understood it, "the adj
ministration is confning its efforts
solely. to the protection Of Amer
ican citizens and property that
there is no intehtion ofintefNening
in the affairs of Nicaragua.
Difficult and Delicate
Il realize" he said, "it is a diff
ficult and delicate matter to han
die. But we should he. vigilant
against. being tricked into inter-
yention. The central and south
American countries have already
shown their deep interest in what
is going on. We had better err
on the side of tolerance than on the
side Of intolerance.
Naturally we are interested in
protecting. our own people. But
we should also bear in mind that
to do anything more than is nee
essary to protect them is wholly
uniustifiable. Those people have
their own way of doing things and
not only this government but Amer
ican citizens who go into those
countries will have to take that
into consideration. I am in favor
Of withdrawing our forces from
Nicaragua just as soon as it can be
ascertained that Americans are
reasonably safe"
Urges Good Will Policy
Both .O1regon and Senator
! wheeler spoke Of financiafsconslds
erations being involved in the Cen
trail American situation, the for
mer Mexican president urging the
United States to adopt policy of
good will to invite the confidence
| of the peoples to the south and
Senator Wheeler asserting that
anyone familiar with facts 1ea0Ing
to the landing of the marines or the
actions of Admiral Latimer since
the landing of them," controverted
the administration claim that no
help would be given either FAC
ton in Nicaragua.
admiral Latimer extends the
neutral zone to help Diaz and 10
insure the so-called Liberal forces,
| the senator said. "Some one should
have the temerity to ask the
spokesman for the White House
whether under similar circumstan-
ces we should send Admiral Latl-
mer to Liverpool and permit him TO
extend the neutral zone so as to
take in London and Belfast" ;"
Senator Ransdell based his views
on the attitude that the administra-
ton, in recognizing the Diaz con-
servative government, was gener-
ally approved in the senate. He
charged the Sacasa Liberal fac
| ton with drafting native employees
of American companies and doing
actual violence to American cti-
zens. several of whom have been
wounded"
American companies had been
disrupted, he said, "and heavy loss
es inflicted"
