titled, "Are We All Liars?" Meekins
says this:
"The ruthless disregard of truth on
the part of millions of our citizens
with regard to Volsteadism can not be
confined to Volsteadism alone. 1t
leads ultimately to but one thing
destruction of all law and order.
Personally l am in favor of law
enforcement 100 per cent plus. = =

UNCLE SAM ENDS LIBERAL

UNCLE SAM ENDS LIBERAL
HOPES IN NICARAGUA
Henry L. Stimson, house of Morgan
man, went to Nicaragua. Newspapers
said he went to negotiate" peace.
That was bunk. He went to compel
peace.
Henry L. Stimson, house of Nor
gan man, told the Sacasa forces that
if they didn't stop fighting Diaz, the
usurper put in power at the instance
of the American state department,
that they would have to fight the
United States.
Sacasa, Nicaraguan successor to
the presidency by virtue of having
been elected vice president at the last
regular election, knows that he can't
fight the United States and anyway
he doesn't want to.
Disdaining to sign any such dis
honorable peace arrangement as
Henry L. Stimson laid before him,
Sacasa, through his delegates, said
they would lay down their arms and
wait for the next election, which the
United States is to supervise.
Secretary Kellogg has made pre-
tense of not having intervened in
Nicaragua.
But at last the truth comes out Off
cially. He admits that Stimson gave
Sacasa's delegates an ultimatum.
That was an avowal of intervention.
The United States has intervened
in Nicaragua, set up butt-in presi
dent amenable to reason and driven
the legitimate successor to the presi
dency out Of the field. 1t is not a

ring with the story for long time
to come. The United States will reap
only more suspicion and dislike.
The story of our conduct in Mica
ragua will please the monopoly hold
ers of Nicaraguan mahogany more
than it will please anyone else, just as
the story of American influence in
Cuba pleases the great Wall street
owners of sugar and electric power
plants more than it pleases anyone
else except the political grafters of
Cuba.
Why should American foreign pol
icy in Latin America be placed on
such an ignominious basis?
