but was an important factor in pre-
venting the establishment of the Cen
tral American Federation.
IAN the deplorable events connected
with recent military intervention By the
United States in Nicaragua might have
been avoided II the American Govern
ment had recognized SacaSa. instead Of
merely frowning upon Chamorro." he
said. Our Governments refusal 20 up

wholesale intervention in Nicaragua
within year on the ground that Il
must uphold constitutional government

the United States at home and abroad"
Speaking at the conference on Pacific
problems. W, H. Mallory. author Of

that Japan, from the material side. was
doing no harm in Manchuria. On the
contrary, he said, she has preserved
this area as haven for q part OF
