Knutson Says U. S. Policy
Has Robbed Americans
of Protection.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A policy that will convince Sandtno
and his fellow-b bandits that swift and
certain reprisal will follow the mistreat-
ment of any American in Nicaragua"
was demanded yesterday by Represen-
tative KnutSon of Minnesota.
Saying in a statement that Secretary
Stimson seems to have substituted the
puerility of Bryan for the robust Amer
icanism of Blaine, Olney and Hughes" ="
the Minnesotan, chairman of the House
Insular Affairs Committee, added:
If the Nicsraguan government has
collapsed and can no longer meet its
treaty obligations, then it Is the moral
duty of our own Government to step
in and prevent the spoilation of Amer
lean citizens by Sandino and his horde
of bandits. To abandon them to the
tender mercies of the Nlcarguan cut
throats is an act of rank cowardice
that is resented by every American
worthy Of the name"
Referring to Stimson's recent state
ment that Marines would not be sent
into the interior of Nicaragua against
insurgent forces, Knutson said 1t was
Gin effect notice to the bandits that
they are at liberty To plunder and kill
Americans living in the interior with
impunity and that they will be i'm
mune from punishment so far as our
Government is concerned"

Letter Asks View.
The letter, which is to be sent to
each, reads, in part. as follows:
1T being understood that national
representation for the District Of Colum-
bia would confer upon American citizens
residing permanently in the Nations
Capital the right to be represented in
both Houses of Congress, and to vote
for President of the United States, and
that 1t would not IN any way alter or
debilitate the existing form of commits
sion government in the District OF
Columbia, do you favor an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
according the rights and privileges OF
national Americans to all bona f1da
resident citizens of Washington, d. C.?
Since this question is strictly nom
partisan and does not involve con-
tentious issue, may We not have the
favor of an early reply?"
In addition to the continued sale Of
franchise seals and distribution of edu-
cational matter on national representa-
ton, the Citizens Alliance Is planning
q campaign for next Fall on the bill to
grant national representation which is
annually introduced in Congress Prior
knowledge of the views of new memberss
it was felt, would be of great assistance
In this campaign.
No Change In Rule.
The Citizens Alliance merely believes
Washingtonians should have the right
to be represented in Congress and to
vote for President Of the United States.
1t does not advocate any change in the
present form of Commission Govern
ment in the District nor does it stand
for local suffrage
Thousands of the franchise seals are
being sold and are beginning to appear
on the backs of envelopes sent through
the mails. The Alliance contends the
reception of these seals by the people
of Washington indicates the popular
mind in this city Is turned definitely
toward acquisition by every resident
Of the rights Of national Americans.
