evidence that arms and munitions in large guar
titles haze been on several occasions since August
1926, shipped to the reDolutiOnists in Nicaragua.

IN those and other statements President Coolidge
exposed the treacherous attitude Of Mexico toward this
country. But nothing was done about it
Ships hostile to this country fitted out with the
full knowledge and encouragement Of Mexican officials

Nicaragua failed:
