COOLIDGE TELLS
NICAR Aqua OF
u. S. FRIENDSHIP
President Assures Minister
American Forces Will
Be Recalled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 H9-Presi-
dent Coolidge, in accepting the
credentials today of the new Mica"
raguan minister, Alexandra Cesar,
gave assurance that American forces
would be withdrawn from Nicaragua
as soon as the necessity for their
presence ceases.
The minister told Mr.. Coolidge thet
Nicaragua .Iooks confidently to the
United states for guidance, co-opera-
ton and aid He came to Wash
ington recently as the Representatives
Of the Diaz government, which the
United states has recognized The
presentation of his letters Of cred
ence occurred during the afternoon
in the east room Of the White House
A transcript of the exchange be-
tween President Coolidge and the
new minister, made public later
showed that Mr. Coolidge had referred
to the long friendship which has ex-
listed between the United States and
Nicaragua, and had added:
THAT we are now once more in a
position, due to the establishment in
Nicaragua of constitutional gov
eminent to which the United States
and other powers are able to ex
tend recognition, to resume official
relations is matter of satisfac-
ton.
For many years the United States
has been good friend of the Mic
araguan people. Through our as
sstance, asked and apparently well
coined, Nicaragua has enjoyed years
of peace and tranquility, restored
her almost hopelessly shattered ma
tional finances, increased her eco
nomic resources and vastly improved
her position before the world.
I'VE take no undue credit for what
was accomplished during that time
The chief credit belongs to the
Nicaraguan people themselves.
1T was the sincere hope of this
country that those conditions would
continue and that it would be an-
necessary for the United States to
take any action for the protection of
its citizens and their interests, but
unfortunately such has not been the
case. y
Although American forces have.
with the consent and at the re-
quest of your government, been land

mate interests of the United States
and the lives and property of it's
citizens, this state of affairs should
not continue longer than is necessary.
'The United States, as know
your government and the people of
Nicaragua appreciate, has no selfish
ends or imperialistic designs to serve
"The United States desires the in
dependence and the prosperity of
every Central American republic The
foundation for permanent stability
within Nicaragua must, of course be,
laid by its own government and
have been pleased to see that the
initial steps for the elimination of
disaffection and the composing of
factional differences are already be-
ing taken
Minister Cesar said he was not
unmindful of the grave political,
social and economic questions that
now confront my country"
With a view to the solution of
these problems" he added, Mica

States for guidance, cooperation and
aid, having learned that it may al
ways count ON finding her loyal and

RIVER PARLEY
IS IMP PALED ON
DOUBLE issue

DENVER, Colo, Sept. % l0-Im-
paled on a two-edged sword of issues
the Colorado river conference spent
today alphabetically casting about for
way out of its dilemma.
Unveiled intimations that California
would "bolt" the parley forthwith If
Arizona insisted upon bringing the
Pattman states rights resolution to an
open session vote caused the resolu-
tions committee hurriedly to suggest
deferring action on the measure this
afternoon after Senator Key Pitbnan
of Nevada had spent tne better part
of the morning arguing orsFeceptlon
of the committee report
Beset on the other side by the pros
pect of a dissolution incident to Ari-
zona's demand sfor a discussion of
power, the four upper basin states
hosts to the lower basin-feebly ges-
turecl throughout the day to placate
the two parties to the controversy. To-
night the parley had succeeded in out
lining a method of procedure.
BY its terms, Arizona and Califor-
MIA will submit for consideration their
interpretations of a basis of settle
nent for the power problem. The
water problem was left where it was
in the upper basin governors COM
mittee which faces the task OF bring
ing order out Of the chaos of the
water division controversy.
Settlement of the water question is
predicated by Arizona solely on sub
sidiary agreement on power and as
Surance that she will receive conpen-
sation for the use Of her lands and
waters when the proposed Boulder
canyon dam is built Opposing this
view is California, insisting upon a
water division solution before the
question of power is broached.
Receipt of the Pittman committee
report on the states rights resolution
precipitated several affirmations that
the general principles contained there
in we're meant to apply to all western
states; but for practical purposes,
California looked upon the measure as
applicable to the Swing Johnson bill
Senator Pittuan confirmed this view
when he declared that the Swing
johnson bill must be changed if it is
to receive the support of the western
states at lie coming session of con-
gress.
The suspicion which has character
lied the negotiations throughout was
given voice today when DELPHI Car
penter, Colorado water commissioner
moved that the governors COMMITTEES
formulate plan for approaching the
water question and that a committee
of seven suggest plan of procedure
as regards power
Previously Governor George H. Dern
chairman of the conference, had Sug-
gested that the three lower basin
