Wants Peoples Judgment.


Mr.. President, until we take the
Judgment of the Nicaraguan people,
and get their judgment upon what has
happened, and their approval, we will
never be able TO come out Of Nicara-
qua with our Marine forces. We en-
camped upon the White House
grounds Of Nicaragua for Is years.
we will camp there for a hundred
wears unless we go back and secure
the Judgment Of the Nicaraguan peo-
pie upon these transactions.
After the canal treaty was ratified,
Costa Rica and Honduras, claiming
that the treaty was in contravention
Of their rights and in violation of a
treaty which they had with Nicaragua,
took the matter before the Central
American Court. The Central Ameri-
can Court had been set up under the
auspices Of this Government. And
that court, to l. decided against the
validity of the treaty. We ignored the
decision, and the Central American
Court tumbled into oblivion.

of long standing, not in opposition TO

encies from this memorandum" con-
tinued Senator La Toilette.
Senator La Toilette quoted from the
now famous dispatch in the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch in which the charge
was made that Assistant Secretary
Robert e. Odds OF the State Depart
ment had called In the representatives
of the press associations here and had
asked them TO publish a report of
Bolshevist activities in Central Amer
lea and Mexico. without placing the
responsibility for the story on the
State Department.
Il hope that the foreign relations
committee will investigate the charges
made in this dispatch OF the ST. Louis
Post -Dispat ch," said Senator La Fol
lette.
Mr.. Eaton In his speech told the
House that the real danger" in Mex
leo Is bolshevism and that America
cannot and will not stand idly by"
Referring to a previous statement
in the House by Mr. Huddleston,
Eaton said he wanted to protest against
the attempt now being made by
certain politicians. in and out of the
House. to create a partisan issue
out of the present situation" The
country has right, he said, to ask
both parties these questions:
Are You with Russia In Mexico
or with America in Mexico?'
Are YOU for the President OF
Mexico, or for the President of the
United States?"
Reviews Past Relations.
Eaton reviewed the history of the
Washington Governments relations
with Central America, said they had
not brought war in the past, would
not mean war now" and added that
mo sane American wants war with
Mexico-least of all our President"

Here is the new issue OF which
Mexico is but the symbol: Shall the
two civilizations, American and Latin.

side by side In this New World In
peace and amity, or shall we perrnh
ourselves to become IA volcano of un-

Peace Proposals Made.

That the United States inaugurate
campaign of peace and abolish the
idea Of force" in dealing with the Cen
trail American nations was urged in
an address in the Senate yesterday
by Chairman Borah of the foreign re-
lations committee.
Dispatches from Costa RIGA say
that Liberal and Conservative resi-
dents there have set up q. committee
to aid President JimineZ Of that coun.
try in working for peace in Nicaragua,
where the American recognized Presi-
dent, Adolfo DaZ, is opposed in war
fare by Juan y. Sacasa, Liberal, with
Mexican recognition.

mittee, defended the course of the
administration as follows.
THE Senator from Idaho and many
others say the Monroe doctrine has
nothing to do with this case. Or
course, it has not directly, and yet 1t
seems to me that everyone must
realize and appreciate that 1t has a
very important indirect application.
If we do not protect the lives and
property rights of European coun =
tries in Nicaragua and other Contra
American States, we must permit those
countries to do so for themselves.
We deny to European countries the
right to enforce protection of prop
erty and personal rights by force.
The United States viii not tolerate
the landing of troops by European
nations in Nicaragua or elsewhere
in an attempt to enforce their rights.
Taking that position. 1t necessarily
follows that Ii we will not permit
them to enforce their rights we must
ourselves assume a duty In that re-
gard.
80 the Monroe doctrine does apply
lin that sense--that II we are 10 take
the position that we have no interest
in Central American affairs. that
they are no concern of ours, that they
may have revolution after revolution.
that they may violate all their In
ternational obligations and fail TO
protect the rights of nations OF other
countries--if we take that position.
we must say that Great Britain and
Italy and Belgium. three countries
now directly concerned, have the
right TO land their forces in Nicara-
qua and protect their nationals for
themselves.
TT seems to me the Senator from
Idaho must be driven to the posi-
ton that We should sit silently by,
allowing Great Britain and these
other countries to land their forces
in Central America in the enforce
ment of their rights. or else that
we must assume the duty of that
protection. And, if ii be granted that
we do owe that protection under the
Monroe doctrine. is there any Sena-
tor who would say that we owe a
greater protection to the nationals
of Great Britain, of Italy, and OF
Belgium than we owe to the ma
tionals of the United States? Shall
we sacrifice American lives To pro-
tect Britons and Italians and Bel
CLANS, but not protect the lives and
the property of citizens OF the
United States?'

py the Associated Press.


ROME, April 12.-Fascist leaders.
ever ready to defend the name of the
Fascist idol. Mussolini. were aroused
today over the outburst of Tito Zani-
boni when he was put on trial for
plotting to kill the premier.
They were particularly incensed
over Zanibonfs references to Musso-
lini as an 'imposter" and as the
illegal head of the government,
stamping upon the liberty of the peo-
pie and the constitution of the state.
Seated in the iron prisoners cage,
with five armed carabineers guarding
him, Zaniboni made no attempt TO con-
eeal his hatred for fascism. Il hate
fasciSm' he shouted; Il Will always
hate il.
Admits Staying Intent.
At the very outset he proclaimed
he was guilty of desire to kill Mus
solini, adding that he wanted to re
place 1.-The present dictatorship by
military dictatorship, placing all
powers in the hahds of the King.
To show that he intended to carry
out a real revolt and not a mere wan
ton assassination, Zaniboni explained
that if his attempt against the premier
had succeeded, he would have had 200
men armed with machine guns rake
the Fascist masses during the cele-
bration of November, 1925, when the
plot was discovered.
Zaniboni denounced his secretary,
Quaglia. who had betrayed him.
General on Trial.
Il tried for months not TO believe
he was spy" he remarked. "beconl-
ing convinced when he begged to be
allowed to help me shoot Mussolini.
Now I know he was an agent pro-
vocateur.'
He steadfastly refused to divulge
information concerning others alleged
TO have been associated with him in
the plot, saying: Il am guilty. but l
alone"
Gen. Luigo Cappello and six others
are on trial with Zaniboni before a
military tribunal created by Premier
Mussolini as a supreme court of Judg-
ment for offenses imperiiing the
state. The proceedings are expected
to occupy about q week.
Zaniboni was arrested in q hotel
room from which it was charged he
intended to fire at the premier with
a rife equipped with telescope sights.
The room was directly opposite the
balcony of the Chigi Palace. from
which Mussolini was to make
speech.

Editorial Comment
Helping the Farmer
Duluth Herald)

A business mems commission which has
been considering the plight Of the American
farmer, has reported recommendations through
it's chairman Charles Nagel of st. Louis. The
commission considered the farmers complaints
that the individual farmer, unorganized and
unaided, has been facing the business world
made up Of groups, each organized and pro-
tected. The conclusion is that there must be
concert of action by all other groups to place
farming interests on basis of equality.
These are the recommendations:
/. Gradual tariff adjustment to equalize
more nearly the benefits of the protective tar
if system as between agriculture and the man.
ufacturing industry.
2. Creation of federal farm board to assist
in stabilizing farm production and prices.
3. Administration through an endowed and
independent agricultural foundation of COM
prehensive naturalization policy.
A. Revision of state and local tax systems.
5. Strengthening the rural banking system.
6. Revision of railroad rates on farm prod
ucts.
Z. Development of waterway systems.
Each Of the proposals may be helpful, though
the first one is doubtful. Everyone knows
that manufacturing interests, labor interests,
professional mems interests, transportation in
terests and the like enjoy statutory protec-
ton and governmental aid. The farmer has
been on the outside looking in. 1t is well that
there is powerful movement to give the farm
er more favored seat at the national table.
| One of the proposals favors the "develop-
ment Of waterway systems" so that farm pro-
duce may go to market at smaller cost. This
means especially the opening of the St. Law
renee into the Great Lakes, turning lake ports
into ocean ports. This proposal is the most
important of the lot
It's contamination will do much to help agr-
culture in the middle west. 1t will add to land
values and strengthen business. It will not
damage the business of any old seaport. They
are big enough now and, after all, their pros
perity rests on the prosperity of the farmers.
