Marines In Nicaragua. was for several
months kept In Office as Vice President
by their presence there.
1t is manifest. therefore, that. even If
we are now annoying Sacasa. We are not
violating his principles. This will be-
come even more manifest as the story
proceeds.
THE heart Of the rest OF the story is
the ultimate conflict that emerged
between Sacasa and Diaz. After Cha
MORO had overthrown Solarzano. and
after Sacasa had fed from Nicaragua.
the Ncaraguan Congress elected Dia2
to be President and We recognized him.
Most of the critics Of the State Depart
ment in the United States say that we
ought to have recognized SacaSa as tn"
legitimate vice presidential heir TO
SolarZano.
The question. then. is:
II We had recognized Sacasa and II he
thereupon had been able to acquire and
retain the presidency Of Nicaragua.
would our problem in Nicaragua today
be at all Observation-Disclosures
what II is7
The answer is that 1t absolutely
would not be.
Diaz. upon getting into Office. de-
manded protection from us against his
violent domestic enemies Sacasa would
have done precisely the same thing.
His record proves II. beyond doubt.
When he fed from Nicaragua he
came 10 Washington.
He went TO the State Department,
He and the State Department had
conversation essentially as follows
SacaSa: will you recognize me as
President of Nicaragua? Chamorro has
forced President So!arZano out. I am
the legitimate successor To Solarzano,
VIII you recognize me as president?"
The State Department: Certainly
Go 10 Managua and assume the finc-
tons OF President. We viii recognize
you"
Sacasa But I cannot GO to Man.
aqua because Of Chamorro. That Is,
cannot go unprotected win sou send
the Marines TO put me into ONCE"
The State Department; No; we are
bound by the Central American treaty
OF 1898 10 recognize you as the const.tu-
tional President II you are in Office But
We are not bound by the treaty--and II
would be wholly contrary 10 good
scnse-for us to put you into office by
force
Sacasa: But. then. will you al least
send me TO Nicaragua on an American
warship In order To show the Mica
raguan people that have your good
will7"
The State Deartment: Yes. perhaps.
II you will promise 10 land and go on 10
Managua by your own exertions,"
Sacasa: Il can't do that because of
Chamorro"
So the matter ended Sacasa was not
10 be blamed. He. just like Chamorro
and just like Moncada, was and Is In

Who's What in Nicaragua and Why the Fighting Still Goes Or

abandon our purpose Of stabilizing con-
stltutional government In Nicaragua.
We must do a nasty job or else retreat
from the accomplishment Of high
ideal.
This writer observes in the State De-
partment no tendency toward retreat
ing. The campaign against SANDING
and against any other similar persons
who may arise TO be his successors-
will go on. The Nicaraguan elections
OF next Fall will be supervised by our
Marines. They will be peaceful. The
country will be made peaceful. On
January next a constitutionally elect
ed Nicaraguan President will be peace
fully indicted into Office BY that time
the new native Nicaraguan constabu-
larv will be in full existence.
Will the new Nicaraguan President
and the new Eicaraguan constabulary
be able to govern Nicaragua peacefully
without us? We hope so. We fervently
hope so. One thing Is sure-absoluteIy
sure:
They will be given the chance. /.
they use 1t successfully and IL they
cause their own constitution, which
they themselves have written. TO op-
crate IN practice in accordance with It's
own provisions Of internal peace. Mica
ragua will never see our Marines again

WHAT. then. is the answer 10 the
w third question which was posed
Of the opening of this article2 what
and where-ss the finish Of our
present Nicaraguan effort?"
II Is clouded just now by new uncer-
tainties. The leader Of the Liberal
party. Moncada. besides being unable
TO control SacaSa. cannot, as has been
noted, control all Of his rank and file
followers,
Sandino Is fighting In territory In
which the Liberals are In great ma

that territory can see only that DtAx. o

but also peculiarly thrilling. Robin
Hood. and they provide him with nu-
mcrous recruits.
II would seem 70 be thoroughly idle
and silly for the State Department to
call al such people bandits" Life Is
not so simple. The growth Of Sanaino's
forces convtncingly shows that behind
him there Is q motive higher than-or
additional to--the motive Of theft.
That motive Is NicaraSuan political
party antir;csity plus natural miSur-

when Solarzano became President
American Marines were then IN Mica

( been backed on election day by ele-

the States In the Caribbean Sea-
/ Three policies are open to us.

obnoxious to our temper. It Is incon-
s!stent with our institutions. We have
virtually totally rejected It.
The second is absolute abstention
from all concern whatsoever with the
affairs OF these countries The result,
in some cases. as We know from expert
eTce. has been continued disorder con-
tinued lack Of internal peace. continued
danger Of intervention by European
powers. This policy has not always
meant more human happiness. II has
often meant less.
The third policy Is the one TO which

the grip OF the Nicaraguan social and
political system. which no enc man can
instantly change,
THE moral for us, however. In con-
nection with our present problem
In Nicaragua Is perfectly clear.
Instead of recognizing Sacasa. who
was very properly afraid 10 go back 10
Nicaragua without an accompaniment
OF soldiers we ultimately recognized
Diaz, who had stayed In Nicaragua and
who was able TO show some sort OF con-
stitutional claims upon the ONCE oi
President by being able to get himself
elected To II by more or less 6onstitu-
tional Nicaraguan Congress. SAN
dino thereupon rises unconstiiutionally
against Diaz. and Diax says TO US:
Your policy Is the maintenance OF
constitutional government in Central
America Help me"
The alternative situation can be inn
agined with absolute verify as follows;
snrasa> the Liberal. instead Of DiaS.

qua. Disc or Chamorro. or some other

has already twice said 10 US in the
past He says;

constitutional government In Central
America. Help me"
We can now answer the questions
What are We fighting In Nicaragua"
and What are we fighting for?"
In Nicaragua We are lighting not
Latin American liberty and not Mica
raguan political party and not q dis
liked individual. but the spirit and
system Of government by armed revolt.
In Nicaragua We are fighting not for
the triumph OF party or OF man
and not for the extension OF the mill

for the habituation OF Nicaragua 20
