Senate Committee Orders
Adverse Report on HefIin
Resolution.
BORAH SAYS AGREEMENT
PREVENTS WITHDRAWAL
Election Machinery Would Be Left
in Hands of Conservatives,
He Declares.

By tho Associated Press.
An adverse report was ordered today
by the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee on the Hetlin resolution propos-
ing withdrawal of American Marines
from Nicaragua.
Chairman Borah said the committee
took the position that withdrawal at
this time could not be accomplished
because of the agreement entered into
with the Nicaraguan government and
the leaders of the Liberal party to hold
an election and to protect all parties
In their rights to fair election.
Cites Approaching Election.
Upon the strength of this agreement
to hold an election. the Liberals laid
down their arms, and not only laid
down their arms, but surrendered their
arms" Senator Borah said. ITO with
draw at this time would not only leave
the entire machinery of the election
absolutely in the hands of the Con-
servatives. but leave the Liberals per-
protect themselves. either in the elec-
ton or against the violence Of their
antagonists
Whatever may be our views with
regard to matters transpiring before
that agreement, the agreement places
an obligation upon us which we cannot
at this time escape. think the entire
committee would like to see us get out
Of Nicaragua. would like to see the
Marines brought out. If we could hold
fair election and recognize the gov
ernment resulting from that election
there would be some chance OF getting
out and staying out.
Predicts Liberals victroy.
ut is my judgment that the Liberals
constitute rs or 80 per cent of the peo-
pie of Nicaragua. And 1t Is my opin-
ion that II fair election is held the
Liberals will succeed. Backed up by
the people OF Nicaragua and by our
recognition there is a hope OF stability"
