WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Coolidge has made clear that the
United States will not shirk its re-
sponsibility to protect the lives, rights
and properties of citizens by the
prompt dispatch of marines and war
ships to Nicaraguan territory. The
president and Secretary Of State Kel-
logg have never wavered in their ac-
ceptance of this responsibility. In
Nicaragua wholly apart from the
necessary protection of the lives of
American citizens we have a great
national interest. Some millions Of
dollars have already been invested by
the United States in the Nicaraguan
canal to which we have exclusive
treaty rights and it is not to be de-
MED that if an unfriendly group Sc
cured a fOOthold in that country the
distance to the Panama canal is dis
tressingly short. In Nicaragua we
also have the right to a naval base
and furthermore we are signators Of
a treaty signed in 1928 by which for
the protection Of our own national
rights we have pledged ourselves to
respond when attempts are made to
overthrow established constitutional
governments.
After a century Of struggle we
have secured the recognition Of the
Monroe doctrine which gives us q
veto power over foreign government
encroachments in South America.
The acceptance Of that ruling by the
great powers Of the world was one
Of the great victories Of our national
life. It would be short sighted in
deed if by our acts or failure to act
we abated by one single jot, our rec
ognized rights. The COolidge-KellOgg
policy is an American policy and par
tisan or fanatic outcrys against 1;
win not affect the judgment Of the
American people.

the project as necessary to the economic life of
the nation are matters of record.
Again the engineers have spoken in no uncertain
terms, and now, as throughout the entire struggle
the economics of the argument are all in favor
of the ship channel.
Up to the dawn of this year, the problem was
one for engineers and economists to delve into
analyze, and render verdict upon. They have
spoken. Now the situation changes.
Does the Midwest, do the Rocky Mountain
states, do the Pacific and the New England coasts
want the mid-continental transportation barriers
removed? Do they want the Atlantic extended
half way across the continent? Do the people
of these states want the benefits that direct and
cheap ocean transportation will inevitably bring
in it's wake?
The answer rests with the nation itself It
rests specifically with each state; with each in
dustry within each state; with each individual
who now feels an unfair transportation handicap
resting upon his business.
The engineers have pointed the way Now it
is the peoples fight!

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Chairman
William M. Butler Of the Republican
National Committee has made plans
to devote some two weeks out of each
month to the party work at the Ma
tiOnal headquarters at Washington.
Advices to that effect have already
been sent to The members of the Ma
tiOnal committee so that those desir-
ing to discuss party affairs can make
their plans for conference. Later
on it is understood the chairman has
in mind the holding Of a series Of
regional meetings in the middle and
far western part Of the country at
which the members Of the National
and state Republican organizations
will have the opportunity to discuss
the state Of the nation. The Butler of
the shirt sleeves period Of the "a
campaign who won the respect Of all
who came into contact with him, by
reason Of his directness and his one
hundred per cent sincerity, is back
in the saddle, an item Of news which
has decidedly upset the Democratic
political stomach.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Nation
al League of Women Voters which
recently made survey Of conditions
throughout the country has discover
ed that while in 1925 and 1925 ap-
proximately 1SO women were elected
to the legislatures in the states Of
the Union, during the last election
only 122 were so honored, a decrease
of 8. The Republicans elected SS
women legislators, the Democrats 81,
three Of the women elected had no
party designation. It will be inter-
esting to learn just why this de-
crease has occurred.
It is possible that in some cases,
districts have been made over so the
women candidates have been gerry
wandered out. For all Of that in
view Of the fact that women suffrage
is supposed to be on the upward
swing, these figures are rather mys-
terious. From another source it is
learned that the decrease was not be-
cause Of the lack Of women candi-
dates, for the total number who en-
tered the elections was greater than
ever before, but they simply were not
elected.

THE PEOPLES FIGHT

Nineteen twenty seven marks an important
milepost in the history of the struggle of the
Midwest to bring the Atlantic into the heart of
the continent, says the Great Lakes-St Lawrence
Tidewater association
For six years this struggle has continued It
began with the organization of this association,
composed originally of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan and later enlarged until it now embraces
21 states.
Economic facts had to be assembled. Engin-
eering studies had to be made. Both engineering
and economic findings had to be sifted, analysed,
tested again and again, and then submitted to
the public for its approval or rejection.
By act of congress, the federal government
was enlisted in the work. Canada became a part

OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS

Now that congress is in session we hear more
about various proposed changes in our immigra-
tiOn laws The American people, however, will
be slow to approve any radical alterations, espec-
tally any designed greatly to increase the tide
of immigration.
The present immigration act has worked pretty
well, and it is meeting with the general approval
of the great mass of our people who think as
Americans and not as transplanted Europeans "a
Asiatics. Of course, some notifications may be
necessary, but these should be handled with great
est care so that the foodgates shall not be broken
down.
It is difficult to picture what might have been
the situation in America by this time had the
restrictive immigration law failed of passage.
European countries have experienced hard times
and a considerable percentage Of their peoples,
attracted by stories of wealth in America, would
have set out across the Atlantic. The influx of
labor might have become so great that we would
now be dealing with an unemployment problem
in spite of our general prosperity.
In restricting immigration Americans are not
casting disparagement on the people of any coun-
try in Europe. They realize that humanity is
pretty generally the same everywhere, and that
there are gc11 people and undesirables in everv
country. They realize, too, that each country in
Europe has given us elements which have gone
to make up some of the finest parts of our citizen
ship. But we are looking at the question from
the standpoint of what is best for America and
best for the immigrants who come to our shores
We do not want more foreign population than we
can assimilate. Neither do we want to create an
unemployment problem of our own. That would
injure us without helping Europe.
There are many people who see some danger
in the great flow of population which is now com
ing to us from across the Rio Grande Here is
phase of the situation which will bear rea
thought. If Mexico finally become a communistic
government, the problem will be all the more
serious That, however, is hardly probable con
tingency. But in any event, it seems reasonabl,
to assume that some restrictions should be i'm
posed upon immigration from south of the border

non-voter is apt to figure he can
make more money by working than
bothering to vote, thus securing a
profit on his delinquency. Hammond's
words cannot be ignored, when he
calls attention to the fact that at the
last election only One-third of the
eligible voters of the country turned
out at the polls. When we appreci-
ate that at that election "a governors,
35 senators, the entire house Of rep
resentatives, nearly all of the state
legislators and thousands Of munich
pal officials were elected, this civic
abstinance threatens our entire gov
ernmental system.

LEADERS OF STAGE
HALT NAUGHT|NESS
EIeventh-hour Effort in New
York to Avert Play
Censorship.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. February s.-Broad
ways stage leaders were armed to
day with a revised plan for cleaner
plays, adopted in an eleventh-hour eff
fort to halt censorship by the district
attorney.
While the stage committee of nine
sought permission to do its own house
cleaning, District Attorney Joab Ban
ton investigated complaints against
current productions.
Winthrop Ames, spokesman for the
stage group, announced his board had
decided upon a new plan to eliminate
obscenity from metropolitan enter
tainment. Ames declined to reveal
his plan until it is submitted to the
district attorney, but he intimated that
the proposal calls for censorship after
production rather than from manu-
script. and censorship after out-of
town openings before New York pro-
duction.
Producers Less Gloomy.
Producers today slightly recovered
from the gloom cast by the district
attorneys recent announcement: II

Spreading destruction with ever in.
creasing fury, the flood waters Of

against the last barrier obstructing
their path to the gulf.
Hoping against hope that further
levee breaks might be avoided,
army engineers and relief directors
watching the rush of the northern
Louisiana flood into the wedge Of
bikes at the confluence of the
Mississippi and Red Rivers main,
