ST|MSON ON ACTION
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Will Go Into
Nicaraguan Situation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

When Henry l.. Stimson. personal
representative of President Coolidge In
Nicaragua returns to the United
States he will not have as easy a time
disarming the critics of the admins
tration as he did in disarming the
Liberal forces in the revolution.
For it is beginning to be apparent
that Mr. Stimson will have to explain
everything he did to the Senate foreign
relations committee. There has been
some suggestion that Senator Borah
has the power to call his committee
together and take testimony now, but
even if nothing is done until Decem-
ber. there is every reason to believe
a comprehensive investigation of the
methods used by Mr.. Stimson will be
undertaken.
Plan Termed Violation.
Until Mr.. Stimson went to Mica.
ragua. the administration here main
tanned that it was not trying to affect
the course of the revolution beyond
giving moral support to the govern
ment it had recognized. and that the
purpose of the Marines in Nicaragua
was TO establish neutral zones within
which the combatant elements could
not fight.
Since Mr. Stimson's arrival in
Nicaragua. he has insisted upon the
revolutionists laying down their
arms and has threatened that if this
were not done the American Marines
would be compelled to disarm the
revo,ution:1ts. He gave assurances
that the United States would guar
antee fair election and that the
Liberals would be represented in the
Diav cah hinaf in the jnfnrif1
The Costa Rican Congress insists
that this is a violation by the United
States of the sovereignty of Mica
ragua and violation of interna-
tional law. The permanent commits
sion of the Mexican Congress. which
has full powers while the legislative
body is not in session. has concurred
in the viewpoint of the Costa Rican
Congress and has asked other Latin
American Congresses to do likewise.
The reason for this is that the Gen.
trail and South American countries
would not wish to appear to be ac-
quiescing in the action of the United
States in any country which might
be used as a precedent in subsequent
revolutions which might develop in
their own countries.
Stand of Administration.
The administration is prepared. on
the other hand, to defend its course
on the ground that it took short
cut to peace and tranquility, and that
any other course would have meant
continuation of guerrilla warfare and
loss of property to innocent bystand.
ers. not merely foreigners, but the
citizens of Nicaragua themselves. II,
between now and next December,
quiet has come to Nicaragua and all
factions have united on program.
the administration will be able to say
that the end justified the means, but
il turbulence develops the critics In
Congress will place the responsibility
on the interference by the Stimson
mission. In any event. the record of
what Mr.. Stimson is doing in Nicara-
qua may be inadequate at the
moment, but Congress will go into the
matter thoroughly when the special
envoy returns.

Lying Long in Bed
Now Is Defended
By Scientific Men
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The longer
one stays in bed, the more quietly
he rests while there: the longer 1t
takes him to wear off the habit of
relaxation and the better he with
stands the strain Of the days ac-
tivities.
This is the conclusion os Prof.
Fl. NJ. Johnson Of Mellon Institute,
Pittsburgh, after conducting sleep
experiments on IS college students.
He reported his observations at the
Midwestern Experimental Psychol-
ogists' Conference at Northwestern
University yesterday.
The average student, Prof. john
son said, reached the greatest quiet
ude one and one.half hours after
retiring. The experiment, conduct
ed over a 60-day period, also dis
closed that the average student
does not spend as much time TN bed
as he should. and that when he does
retire he does not rest normally.

Heroes and Villains

When Scott and Cooper wrote their
tales, some characters were fine: there
always were some dauntless males
whose deeds were wont to shine. They
stood in contrast to the skates whose
villainy was dark, and they were
moral heavyweights whose course
, twas good to mark. The villains
seemed at times to win whatever
games they played; but we who read
would merely grin-their doom was
but delayed. We knew that virtue in
the end would triumph over vice; the
~hero with his bride would wend to
some fair church, to splice. Such
tales, they tell us, are not true to all
the facts of life; the hero often draws
q shrew and not a lovely wife. The
villain draws the big reward, his sin
full schemes prevail, he pulls down
money by the cord, while virtue has
no kale. In modern realistic books no
heroes are allowed; but of cheap peo-
rple, mostly crooks, there is a ghastly
crowd. The gifted author tries TO
show how sordid is the race, how vain
the quests on which we go, how punk
the gods we chase. There's nothing
truly worth the while, all earthly things
are dross, your cherished friends are
~steeped in guile. and you're total
kloss. These realistic books, perchance,
are closer to the truth than was the
svorgeous old romance we read in days
AZ youth: but when we read them we
ARE tired and throw the tones away;
we're not encourag ged or inspired to
live another day WALT MASON.
