COOLIDGE TURNS
ON ENEMIES Of
FOREIGN POLICY
White House Spokesman
Defends Central America
Course, Small Navy.

Bu United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today struck back at
two groups of his opponents who
criticised him both for inadequate
military preparedness and for al
legged Imperialism in Central Amer
lea.
His official spokesman justified Ad-
ministration opposition to building
three additional naval cruisers now
on the ground that this country
should lead voluntarily in stopping
competitive armament races.
The spokesman justified occupation
Of Nicaragua, by American forces on
the ground that the Monroe Doctrine
prevents European nations from pro-
tecting their interests in that coun-
try and obliges the United States
to do so.
Meanwhile. Senator Robinson
Dem.). Arkansas, introduced a
resolution proposing arbitration of
the Mexican oil lands dispute.
The difficulties with Mexico can
be reduced to one question, the
White House, as follows:
as property Of American citizens
going to be confiscated without COM
pensation? This is what the Ad-
ministration objects to and is trying
to prevent.
Reasons for American action in
Nicaragua, as previously stressed in
the Presidents message to Congress,
We're given as:
Protection Of American lives and
property, and defense of this Gov
ernment's acquired treaty rights to
construct a Nicaraguan canal and es-
tablish naval bases.
In the face of the days develop
ments, opponents of the use of force
in American foreign policy were
claiming victory and expressing be-
lief that further steps threatening
war with Mexico have been checked.

Democrats lin the State Legisla-

The investigation may develop
into an inquiry into charges of po-

though Democratic leaders would
not signify that is their intention.
Highway commission hackers
have charged Stephenson and his
followers fostered the bill in the last

Determined at Caucus
The investigation was decided on
at caucus of House Democrats at

further considered at a caucus meet
ing following adjournment Of the

A committee composed of George
