U.S. POLICY IN NICARAGUA.
AN UNDECLARED WAR,
SENATOR'S OUTBURST. (BI CABLZ—PKESS ASSOCIATION—CGPI EIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN Ay D H.S. CABL* ASSOCIATION) (Received January ISth, 0.40 p.m.) NEW YORK, January IS. Senator Wheeler, speaking before the Economic Club, said: "To all intents and purposes Mr Coolidge and Mr Kellogg are waging an undeclared war against the people of the little Republic of Nicaragua, serving the purposes of a small banking group. "No person of sound judgment can review the utterances and activities of the State Department and the President in their recent dealings with our southern neighbours without coming to the conclusion that moral chaos reigns in the Department and moral confusion in White House. The waters surrounding the country are churned up by a procession of American battleships, and marines are landed in the manner of Roman cohorts when Rome was overrunning the world.-
"Our aeroplanes are being used to drop bombs upon non-combatants—men, women, and children. Our boys in the marines are being killed upon foreign soil without war being declared."
