...date the U, S, has not recognized the regime of General Emiliano Chamorro who forced the Nicaraguan Congress to elect him President after he had virtually seized that office by a military coup (TIME, Sept. 21). Neither has General Chamorro been recognized as president by a potent Nicaraguan faction led by onetime Vice President Sacasa, whom General Chamorro compelled Congress to banish.

Osteopathy. Another group groping for methods healing to mankind's ailments are the asteopaths. Like the homeopaths they have acquired some current respect because their students for the most part must now get a general medical education. They must know what the regular...

President-elect Luis Jerne of Brazil who will succeed President Bamardes next October refused to comment, but Acting President of the Chamber Committee of Foreign affairs said last week: "Brazil's action means closer relations with the American republics, especially the United States. It became inevitable when it was seen that Latin America would not obtain a seat in the League Council. Woodrow Wilson's peace ideals are our ideals...
