DEERFIELD CHAMBER of COMMERCE Deerfield, Illinois NICARAGUA SUBJECT AT WOMAN'S SOCIETY United States' Policy of Interven- | tion Explained by Chicago | Journalist | Whether or not the United States | should continue its policy of interven- tion in Nicaragua, its policy of sta- tioning marines to supervise the gov- ernment of Nicaragua, its practice of helping Adolfo Diaz keep his rather shaky seat as head of a factionally di- vided country, was the final and chal- lenging question asked by Carol Binder, of the Chicago Daily News, in his address before the Woman's so ciety of the Winnetka Congregational church, Wednesday, April 6, at its reg- ular meeting. Mr. Binder, in his subtly humorous way, made clear the muddled question of what has. happened down in the stormv little country south of the United States, and why; and while he did not take sides--did not say we should or shouldn't continue our policy as heretofore--he roused a keen inter- ect in" the minds of the sociéty, and left them with the determination to follow more closely the activities of our state deparment. In order to speak on the present con- dition in Nicaragua, Mr. Binder, to the great relief of those who were ig- norant of Nicaraguan history, went back into the strange and melodram- atic story of our relations with this country, which is the size of New York state and has a population only a little larger than the city of Milwaukee, but has recently managed to claim first page space on most of the United States' largest newspapers. Mr. Binder told briefly the follow- | Walker | state or ing story of our dealings with the state, and the type of government the state maintains. The United States has been interested in Nicaragua for seventy-five years. At the time of the 49 gold rush, United States citizens attempted to take gold miners from Nicaragua. [Later on, when it seemed probable that slavery would be abol- ished in the United States, a Mr. attempted to make a slave exchange out of this tiny country, Mr. Binder explained. After many revolutions, first of the liberals who are established in the town of Leon, and the conservatives. entrenched in the town of Granada, the United States, under shelter of the Monroe Doctrine, arranged with Em iliano Chamorro, the "strongest" man who exiled, killed and "ran" the gov- ernment, to sign a treaty. This treat) was a promise that he would not con tinue in his bad practices, but would allow the president to run his own country. But Chamorro could not be good long, Mr. Binder announced, and with the help of 5000 ragged and sorry soldiers conscripted from the fields, drove out the president and Dr. Juan Sacasa, vice-president, both lib- eral leaders. Dr. Sacasa, because of the treaty Chamorro had signed, ap pealed to the United States government to re-instate him, but this was not done. So the doctor appealed to Mexi- co, and help was promised and given. In 1912, revolutions pending, the United States chose Adolfo Diaz as a good man for president and agreed to help him establish and keep his office with the help of a good number of Ameri- can marines. So today, our government is help- ing Diaz hold his office, and is straightening out the internal and ex- ternal debt question, Mr. Binder stated. Financial supervision is being given, bond issues have been underwritten, the customs are being collected, as they have been for the past fifteen years, under the supervision of Americans.
