Aicher wire Chicago visitors Monday. -John Schaeffer was a Woodstock devolution which is menacing Americans and their properties and Interests pt the United States in Nicaragua. Not less Important was the enunciation by the President In his message of the doctrine of the "peculiar responsibility" of the United States in Central America arising from investments of our citizens and the necessity of protecting the Panama canal and the rights the United States has acquired to the Nicaraguan canal route. When disclaiming any desire or intervention in their internal affairs, 'the President declared that "the stability, prosperity, and independence" of the Central American republics "ca» never be a matter of indifference •to us," and served notice on President Calles of Mexico and aU others concerned that the United States will not tolerate "the jeopardizing of American interests" and impairment of constitutional government In that region. "I have the most conclusive evidence," said President Coolidge in his message, "that arms and munitions in large quantities have been on several occasions since August, 1926, shipped to the revolutionists in Nicaragua. "Boats carrying these munitions have been fitted out in Mexican ports J ftnd some of the munitions bear evidence of having belonged to the Mexican government. It also appears that the ships were fitted out with the full knowledge of and, in some cases, with the encouragement of Mexican officials, and were, In one instance, at least, commanded by a Mexican naval reserve officer." The munitions mentioned by the President were among the revolutionist stores that fell Into the hands of Admiral Latimer. Among these were 300.000 rounds of cartridges in boxes bearing the label "Mexican national arsenel." The message, which was wholly unexpected at the capltol, created a sensation. The solemn exposure by the American President of the arming of the Nicaraguan revolutionists by the Calles government convinced many senators and representatives that events are fast moving toward a showdown, if net a rupture, between the United States and Mexico. With Calles proceeding to the dispossession of Americans from oi^and farm lands they acquired before the present Mexican constitution was adopted in 1917 and with President Coolidge having threatened to withdraw recognition if the confiscation policy were consummated, the disclosure of Calles* anti-American plotting in Central America may t«uch the Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Schiessle were Chicago visitors Friday.
