Foreign Minister Aristide Briand of France wants to sign a two-power treaty "outlawing war" between his country and the U. S. Secretary of State Frank Billings Kellogg insists that the treaty be a multi-power affair "renouncing war as an instrument of national policy." Out of the clash of these two concepts has come a nine-month long game of diplomatic bean bag (TIME, July 4, 1927). Last week M. Aristide Briand sent one more note to Washington from which it appeared that the French position is now, in substance, as follows...

...Navy Department to send 1,000 more marines to Managua at once. The week's news was that the Nicaraguan Congress had rejected the new electoral law which the U. S. Marines were to chaperone into effect next autumn, under the Stimson agreement. President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg made up their minds to supervise the elections anyway, whether Nicaragua adopted the new law or not. Their reason was that the anti-American party in Nicaragua was scheming to embarrass the U. S. by making the latter's "pacification" program seem more illegal than ever.
