MARINES SET
TO MOVE OUT
OF NICARAGUA
Monday Ends Chapter of
Greatest BIunder in u. S.
Diplomacy.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.--Mon-
day, which will see the withdrawal
of American troops from Nicaragua,
will write 'finis" after the final
chapter of the most egregious blum
der in modern American diplomacy
and, at the same time, mark the
beginning of new policy in deal
ing with Latin America.
Sunday, Jan /, President-elect
Juan Bautista Sacasa will take Of
flee, succeeding President Moncada.
Monday, according to present
plans, the last of the marines either
will embark on transport, or zoom
up into the air in their own planes.
bound for home.
The little republic then will re-
turn to normal, free for the first
time in thirty years-save for a
brief spell in 1925-of American
soldiers.
And yet, observers say, funda-
mentally little has been accom-
plished Trouble-perhaps, a new
revolution-is predicted.
1873 Americans Lose Lives
According to the records, 1873
American officers and men lost their
lives in the fighting since the oc
cupation of 1926, plus some 1000
NicaraguanS.
But the guerilla chieftain, Gen
eral Augustine SANDING, still is at
! large. What he will do now nobody
knows.
Meantime, WashingtonS point of
view has undergone drastic re-
vision.
There is reason to believe that
the Nicaraguan adventure now
coming to a close is the last folly
of it's kind this government plans
I to commit.
Hereafter, intervention south of
the Rio Grande, if unavoidable,
either will be a Pan-American af-
fair, else the emergency must be
of major proportions. Lives, not
just property, must be in immedi-
ate and grave peril.
Blunder by kellogg
The marines we're dispatched to
Nicaragua as a result of a blunder
when Mr.. Kellogg was secretary of
state. 1t was charged that Mexico
and Moscow were about to raise
red hegemony' between this
country and the Panama canal.
A revolution" was in full swing.
At its head was DR.. Sacasa, as con-
stitutional president, opposed to the
illegal President Diaz, then in Of
flee. His minister of war and COM
mander in the field was General
Moncada. His foreign minister was
DR.. Espinosa.
Far from being "reds" and
enemies of the United States, these
men were then, and still are, known
far and wide as three of the best
friends this country has in all Latin
America.
Crushed Revolution
The United States backed Diaz
and crushed the revolution" which
! admittedly would have won but for
American intervention. Then this
happened:
In the first elections under ma
rine supervision, General Moncada,
DR.. Sacasa's minister of war, was
elected president
In the second elections similarly
held, DR.. Sacasa was elected presi-
dent. His opponent was none other
than former President Diaz who,
but for American aid, would have
been overthrown six years ago.
And the vice president elected
with DR.. Sacasa was our old
friend, DR.. Espinosa. 1t was COM
plete turning of the tables.
