MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March s.
Three Nationalist have been killed in

Advisers of President Diaz, main
tanned in power by the marines, be-
lieve there is a good chance of the
election measure being passed by the
House of Deputies before Monday, de-
spite the determined opposition of
Gen. Chamorro. The bill already has
been passed by the senate. Chamorro
held long conference with Brig
Gen. Frank P. Mccoy, who was desig-
mated by President Coolidge to super
wise the Nicaraguan election if the
pending bill becomes a law.

rived from Corinto and will spend the

BORAH DEFENDS
MARINE REGIME
To Protect Nicaraguan
Liberals Is Fake Plea

WASHINGTON, March (FP).-
Chairman Borah of the Senate for
eign relations committee issued an
apology" for American marines rule
of Nicaragua, after his committee
had voted down, in secret session
March 7th, the Heflin resolution d.
recting President Coolidge to with
draw American armed forces from
that country.
Our committee was of the opin-
ion," he said, "that under the agree
ment we made with Nicaragua's gov
eminent and the leaders of the Lib
eral Party to hold an election and to
protect all parties to a fair election,
we could not withdraw at this time.
Upon the strength of this agreement,
the Liberals not only laid down their
arms but surrendered their arms. To
withdraw at this time would only
leave the entire machinery absolutely
in the hands of the Conservatives,
and leave the Liberals perfectly help
less"
Military testimony before Borah's
committee, recently, was to the effect
that if the Marines are withdrawn,
General Sandino's forces would prob
ably walk into Managua. SANDING is
an anti-imperialist.

LEAGUE DODCES
ARMS SHIPMENT
Prevents Inquiry Into
st. Gothard Guns

GENEVA, March 8. - The ship
ment of machine guns from Italy to
Hungary in violation of the Treaty of
Trianon has been evaded by the Coun-
ell of the League of Nations. Altho
the notorious episode came up for dis
cussion, the Council succeeded in side
tracking an investigation of the ship
ments
The issue was completely dropped
by the League Council after Hungary
declared that she considered an in
vestigation of the shipment "unfriend-
ly." According to reliable authorities,
the Italian government has sent many
shipments of machine guns and mum
itions to Hungary.
Another issue which the League
lodged was the controversy between
Lithuania and Poland, Waldemaras,
who had been requested by the Coun-
Gil to come to Geneva, telegraphed
that he would not appear.

BRITISH COTTON
WORKERS STRIKE
Walk Out in Spite Of
Reformist Leaders

MANCHESTER, Eng. March g.
Contradicting previous information
to the effect that the textile workers
of the Aqueduct Mills in Stalybridge
had returned to work after accepting
the order of the mill owners that
they work 5515 hours week instead
of 48, it was reliably learned today
that all the workers in the companys
plants with the exception of few
spinners had effected an immediate
walkout. 1t is believed that the spin
ners will also go out on strike
against the employers order which
was to have gone into effect Mon
day.
The workers walked out in spite of
the conservative union leaders who
have been trying to prevent a strike.

LONDON, March s. - The Arab
ian revolt on the Iraq border coupled
with the growing protest against
British rule in India is causing the
Baldwin Government a good deal Of
concern. British power turnout the
Near and Middle East is menaced by
recent developments.
The impending entrance Of Great
Britain in the negotiations between
France and Spain over Tangier, the
refusal of Persia to grant the I'M
perial Always permission to fly its
planes over Persian territory and the
widespread protest within Iraq
against the treaty recently negotiated
with Great Britain have all added
fuel to the growing unrest in the
East.
British planes and tanks are being
rushed from India to Iraq in view Of
the Wahabi revolt. The results of the
revolt on Egypt, India and Iraq may
be of tremendous significance.

Prepares For War.
The British war office and the mil

been at loggerheads as regards the
mechanization of the army and the
GENERALIZATION of its administration.
This difference ended with a COM
plete defeat of Simla (the seat of

army has been mechanical and subs
jected Immediately to the war office.
1t is no longer at the disposal Of the
Vice-Roy. The mechanization of the
army and its subordination to Lon
don mean that the army in India is
to be used not merely for local pur-
nosas, such as the defence Of the
Indian empire and the suppression
of local risings, but also for the
higher" aims of conquest abroad.
This fact makes it impossible to
doubt that we are on the eve Of i'm
portant events on the frontier of
India and China.
In a rather smaller degree similar
measures are on foot along the border
between Burma and China At first
all attention was concentrated on
this section, but since the tour of the
fieldmarshal, and especially since
certain sensational and ,fruitless ex-
petitions We're undertaken for the
purpose of freeing slaves" this at
tention was transferred to Assam.
Obviously this is q more favorable
noint for possible inroad of Brit
ish troops into southern China, while
the prospective operations in Burma
will presumably be of minor import
ance.
Could it, indeed, be possible for the
Dieha,d government not to attempt
to profit by the events in China?
Not to exploit such "propitious" op-
portunity of conquest as is afforded
by the civil war and the subsequent
present anarchy in China, is certainly
not in keeping with the nature Of
British Imperialism
