NICARAGUA FACES
MARINE EXPENSE:
May Have to Pay Costs of
Election CIerks-Senate
Refuses Funds.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The Nicaraguan government may
have to pay for transportation and up
keep of the additional force Of Amer.
lean Marines which it wants to serve
as clerks to supervise coming elections
should Congress persist in the refusal
to appropriate the necessary funds.
The Senate refused Thursday to ap-
propriate any money for the trans
portation of Marines to Nicaragua.
This refusal may place the State
Department in an unpleasant position
since this country is morally pledged
to assist the Nicaraguans in their ef-
fort to have free elections.
Fair Play Sought.
The desire to send American Ma
rineS Is not due to any desire of the
Department of State to exercise any
influence on the Nicaraguan electorate
but merely to insure, at the request OF
Nicaraguan political leaders, fair play
for all presidential candidates.
The precedent of having American
Marines supervise the Nicaraguan polls
has been established before Mr.. Slim
son became Secretary. He inherited
this situation from Secretary Kellogg.
Before the presidential election in
Nicaragua in November, 1928, the con-
servatives were worried over the result
Of the elections and made a formal re-
quest Of the United States for force of
Marines to see that nothing unlawful
happened at the booths. This request
was made by the conservative candi-
date, Bernard, and was supported by
the liberal candidate. the present Presi-
dent Mancado. A similar request has
been made for the 1882 elections by all
candidates.
The United States Government
agreed then as 1t has agreed today to
supervise the elections.
United States Paid in 1928.
In 1923, however things were pros
porous in this country and the Govern
ment paid expenses OF the supervising
Marines.
Under the policy Of stringen
economy Congress is compelled to
adopt, it Is possible that there should
be no funds available to pay even for
transportation OF the military clerks to
Managua
OF course, If the Nicaraguans feel
that the only way to insure free cleo
lions is by the supervision Of Ameri-
can marines, they could offer to pay
for the transportation and upkeep of
the 430 men needed for the election.
Such proposition would be quite in
order and it is likely to be accepted
by the United States Government. The
sum could go in the Nicaraguan budget
as electoral expenditure.
The Nicaraguan Government pays a
large part Of it. She pays all the ex-
penses except those for the movement
Of men. Should the American Con-
gress decide definitely against any ap-
preparation for supervision of the Mica
raguan elections. Nicaragua would
simply have to pay for the transport
Of the Marines, as we'll as the other
expenses. a part of which hitherto had
been paid by the United States Gov
eminent.
