''The extension of nationalist CON

in itself the most ample guarantee
that the lives and property of British
and other nationals in the concession
shall and must be protected by my
government.
while the concession remained un.
der purely British control It was not
the duty OF my government to attend
to the protection Of foreigners there.
But now that the concession ceases

my government regards the effective

"Deploring" the necessity for send

reafirms the policy of the United

Green Remains Silent.
Andrew Furuseth Of the Seamen's
Union tried to get Green to make a
public protest. preferably by going to
the White House and telling Coolidge
that the organized labor movement Of
this country is in complete sympathy
and harmony with the labor move
ments Of Nicaragua and that Of Next
co, against whose cause the American
armed forces are moving. Green chose
instead to wait and consult with his
council.
Optimists saw in this silence a
possible plan of consulting in Florida
with emissaries Of Nicaraguan and
Mexican labor, in order to get the
latest possible information with which
to make an appeal for peace and non
Intervention.
But others pointed out that By the
time the council had discussed the
issue the seizure OF Nicaragua would
be completed, and an incident might
have been provoked In Mexico that
would furnish a pretext for the Amer
lean fleet to seize the Tampico oil dis.

crineIng TO the Catholics.
The situation faced by Green in his
council is not easy. because certain
of the members are hostile to further
utilization with Mexican labor on &C.
count Of its support OF the campaign
to separate church and state in Next
co. Hence Green will not take the
strong stand taken by Samuel Com
pers as to sympathy with Mexican ma.
tonal aspirations as against the i'm
perialism of Washington and Wall
Street.
Mexican labor and IT'S government
are alike charged with having helped
Sacasa, the Nicaraguan liberal presi-
dent. Therefore clerical influences
are thrown against Sacasa. President
Coolidge knows that by his campaign
to establish an anti-Mexican regime
in Nicaragua he is pleasing certain ex-
treme clerical leaders in the United
States. Coolidge wants TO beat AL
Smith in the presidential race OF 1926
and he hopes by his Latin-American
war to divide the catholic vote.
