April 9, 1927 WINNETKA TALK NICARAGUA SUBJECT AT WOMAN'S SOCIETY (Continued from page 54) concerned in this little country? Mr. Jinder answered this question with the | following reasons: because of the agi- | tation for the construction of a second interoceanic canal across Nicaragua for which the United States has already acquired rights; and because of a fear the state department has of the spread | Frank | bers of the Woman's society of the and rise of bolshevism within the tiny | country. Even though there seems to be no true pro-Amercian feeling either in the leaders or in the ignorant and poor classes, and even though rumors of messages from the seat of com- munism in Russia sent to Nicaragua sound disasterous, Mr. Binder cannof harbor the same fear the State de- partment has. Whether or not the United States should withdraw her marines from stormy little Nicaragua, withdraw the supervision of finances, collection of customs and leave the little state alone is a moot question, Mr. Binder states. He says that the imperialistic attitude of our government will not allow us to neglect our interests as to a second canal, and yet the marines do not seem to be settling the question. Education is restricted to a certain few in Nicaragua and aside from the splendid work the Rockefeller found- ation is doing in checking hookworm and other tropical diseases, schools and doctors are unknown. In addition to Mr. Binder's speech the day's program included an inter- esting group of readings given by Mrs. White. About sixteen mem- First Congregational church of Oak Park, were guests of the Winnetka group during the entire day. At the close of the afternoon program.
