LENROOT DEFENDS
NICARAGUA POLICY
Intervention Is Justified to
Uphold Monroe Doctrine,
Senator Declares.

American Intervention in Nicaragua
was justified by former Senator Irvine
L. Lenroot Of Wisconsin, speaking last
night at the Georgetown University
Foreign Service School in support OF
the administration policy in Latin
America, on the ground that the Mon
roe Doctrine was directly involved.
Declaring that Great Britain and
Italy had sought protection for their
nationals in Nicaragua under the
Monroe Doctrine by the use Of Ma
serted that the United States faced
the alternative of assuming that re-
sponsibility itself or letting those ma
tions do 1t.
mo American would want to see
Great Britain land an armed force in
Nicaragua" he said, 80 the Monroe
Doctrine is directly involved in this
controversy. If we owe a duty under
the doctrine to the nationals of other
countries. certainly we owe it to Amer
lean citizens to protect their lives and
property"
Urges Honest" Election.
Mr. Lenroot warned "if the United
States can disavow responsibility for
protecting the lives and property Of
it's own citizens in foreign country,
then the time will come when the
rights of Americans will be tramplcd
upon everywhere and we might as
we'll abandon foreign commerce"
A happy solution of the Nicaraguan
situation, he declared. would be to
hold an election, when it could be
done constitutionally, that would be
a really honest one, under American
supervision. He defended the election
of Diaz and claimed the United States
could not have recognized Sacasca un-
der any rule of international law. Sa-
casa had forfeited his right to the
presidency. under the Nicaraguan con-
stitution, he said. by being absent
from the country when vacancy oc-
Cured.
Defends Sending of Marines.
Senator Lenroot defended the policy
of the United States in backing the
Monroe Doctrine by the use of Ma
rines, declaring tn edoctrine has been
of great benefit to the southern re-
publics. 1t is the duty of the United
Statese under the Monroe Doctrine. he
emphasized, to see that Latin Amer
lean governments carry out their in
ternational obligations.

appointed by the president to be
known as the park and planning
committee, to handle such matters
when they came before the fedora
ton. President Oliver owen Kuhn
said that the personnel would
be selected with great care and an
nounced later.
The federation formally extended
its congratulations to both. William
w. Bride, recently selected corporation
counsel of the District of Columbia
and to the District on having secured
Mr.. Brides services, on motion made
by Oliver Owen Kuhn, who left the
chair to pay a glowing tribute to Mr..
Bride. Mr.. Kuhn declared Mr.. Bride
thoroughly efficient. fully courageous
and one who was destined to make
great reputation in his new position
and perform tremendous valuable
work for the District Of Columbia.
A resolution urging the establish
ment of a unified trash and garbage
collection service In the county was
sent to the committee on health ana
sanitation. The preamble pointed out
that individuals were performing this
work now at high cost to the property
owners, and that a government-oper'
ated service would be materially
cheaper. 1t also was pointed out that
the service by individual contracts
might be withdrawn at any time.
Protests Unsightly Dumps.
Another resolution protesting the
unsightlv conditions along the roads
of the county, and particularly in the
metropolitan district. caused by the
dumping of refuse on private prop
erty was declared an emergency
measure, and was adopted after the
advisory committee, of which William
w. Bride is chairman, had considered
it. and reported it back with amend
ments requiring that copies be sent 10,
the county commissioners and the
county health officer. The resolution
called on the county commissioners
either to remove the dumps or cause
the owners to remove them.
Mai. Lee told the federation that
the last assembly had passed a law
which made it a misdemeanor to
dump any material on private prop
ertv without the written consent OF
the owner, or under his personal
w. r. Horne Of Somerset objected
to recurring the owners of property
to remove these dumps. he pointed
out that much of the material was
on private property without
the consent of the owners, and 1t
would be unfair to require them to
clear UP dumps for which they were
not responsible.
The association last night met as
the guest of the Community Club OF
Martins subdivision, Chevy Chase.
The May meeting will be held at Sill
