new FIGHT NEAR
ON NICARAGUA
OCCUPATION
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

International News service
The administration hint that
American Marines will be. retained
in Nicaragua. at least until after
next March 4-when Presidents lect
Hoover takes office-drew sharp
criticism in the Senate today from
the groups that have fought TO
withdraw the troops.
Senator George W. Norris H.l
of Nebraska, insurgent leader, 1ntl-
mated that the administration had
deceived the Senate last spring When
that body was informed the marines
would be kept in the Pan-American
republic until after the election,
held early this month. He demanded
that the troops be withdrawn at
once.
Bingham Endorses Action
Senator Hiram Bingham R.l, of
Connecticut, who defended the ad-
ministration's policy toward Mica
ragua in the debates last spring,
indorsed the continued occupation.
He declared the marines were there
by invitation of the Liberal presi-
dent of Nicaragua, and that they
should be kept there as long as the
existing government desired them.
Senator william III. King D0 of
Utah, meanwhile announced he
would press for action on his reso-
luton, forbidding the use of Amer
Jean soldiers in any foreign land
without the consent of Congress.
His bill also would prevent the use
of American officers to train the
armies of the little nations on this
continent.
The Nicaraguan muddle probably
will be aired again when the Senate
considers the regular naval appro-
priation bill. This measure will
contain appropriations to cover the
salaries and expenses of the Marines
used in Nicaragua and opponents
Of the occupation can then make a
direct fight for their withdrawal.
THE argument made last spring
in defense of the administration
was that an agreement had been
made to safeguard the elections
this month";" said Senator Norris.
1t was conceded at that time that
after the election Was held, and
the officials installed in office, our
troops would be withdrawn.
IF that reason for the occupas
ton was given in good faith, the
same good faith demands that they
be withdrawn now.
