AppIauds Stand of Papers on Mex
lean Nicaraguan Case.

Declaring the ''newspa pers of the

If trouble was averted in Nicaragua
and Mexico, Representative Jacobstein,
Democrat, of New York in an address
in the House yesterday urged the
press to stay ION the job" during the
approaching recess of Congress.
"At a White House press conference
on December 81" he said President
Coolidge expressed displeasure, if not
resentment, over the fact that the
press of the country was not solidly
behind the President in the handling
of the acknowledgements situation.
Many of the newspaper men pres
ent at the conference felt that the
President was suggesting that it
should be the attitude of the press
to approve and follow blindly the ad-
ministration's foreign policy.
ut is fortunate for the country and
for free institutions in America that
the newspapers generally refused to
accede to the Presidents plea for
unity"

ready to extend practical recognition
to the Cantonese government on the
same basis as offered by Great Bril-

was essential for the maintenance
of trade relationships.
The troops of Marshal Sun Chuan-
Fang, defender of Shanghai, today
were still apparently resisting the
Cantonese siege of Hangchow, the
fall Of which had been reported yes

In. the face of uninterrupted
pounding by the nationalist troops,

gateway to Shanghai and only 113
miles away, was momentarily ex-

the reinforced Cantonese.
Ningpo, treaty port in the province

been captured today by Cantonese

miles parallel with an inlet OF the

Americans and other foreigners in
Ningpo, China, are not in any

Ningpo is treaty port, just across
