AN UNDECLARED WAR
AMERICA AND NICARAGUA. SENATOR WHEELER’S VIEWS. (Pre«B Association—By Telegraph—Copyright ) NEW YORK, January 18. (Received Jan. 18, at 10 p.iri.) Senator Wheeler; speaking at the Economic Club, said: “To all intents and purposes President Coolidge and Mr Kellogg are waging an undeclared war against the people of the litte Republic of Nicaragua, serving the purposes of a small hanking group. No person of sound judgment can review the utterances and the activities of the State Department and the President in 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 being landed in the manner of the Roman Cohorts when. Rome was over-running the world. Our aeroplanes are being used to drop bombs upon noncombatants —men, women, and children. Our boys .in the marines are being killed upon foreign soil without war being declared.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
