After the vote, triumphant lights twinkled far into the night at the sumptuous Managua residence of famed onetime President of Nicaragua, General Emiliano Chamorro. He had defeated the bill. His potent, ancestral family controls the Conservative electorate of Nicaragua; and that control enabled General Chamorro to wipe out, last week, his old score against the U. S. State Department, which refused to recognize a government set up by him, some years ago, after a coup d'etat...
Liberal publicists were splenetic last fortnight over the presence in Washington of the Nicaraguan generalissimo, Emiliano Chamorro. A presidential election impends in Nicaragua. General Chamorro wanted to find out how the U. S. Department of State would view his candidacy. U. S. citizens who regard U.

Administrations, of whatever party, have kept a detachment of Marines in Nicaragua until last year, when their withdrawal was followed immediately by the coup d' état of General Chamorro. The Nicaraguan Administrations upheld by the U. S. have apparently been obnoxious to a majority of Nicaraguans, but in upholding one more such regime Secretary Kellogg is only following scrupulously a well established U. S. tradition. The incidental question of abstract "right" faded years ago from the realm of practical...
