DEFENDS POLICY IN NICARAGUA American State Department Cites Treaties Made in 1923. :■ f iffifflittMrififi Wiil Admiral Julian L. Latimer Bu XBA Srrricc WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The Washington treaties of 1923 affecting Central American affairs are cited by the U. S. State Department in support of its attitude toward Nicaragua, now being very widely advertised. These treaties hound five Central American States —Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costo Rica, Honduras and Salvador—not to interfere with each other's Internal affairs, and not to recognize any government that came into power by force of arms or revolution. The treaties were executed under the auspices of the United States and Mexico. The State Department insists there is no inconsistency in its policies toward President Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua and his Liberal enemy 1 ?- former Vice President J. Bautista Saeasa. Sacasa was vice president under President Solorzano. Last January, Solorzano Was forced to resign. Gen. Emlliano Chamorro tried to seize the government. But under tjhe same 1923 treaties, the United States refused to recognize Chamorro, and he gave way to Diaz.. Now comes Sacasa, baying that as vice president' under Solorzano he was entitled under the constitution to the presidency when Solorzano stepped out. But, retorts the United States, Sacasa was absent from the country at that time. •' "Right,” say- Sacasa’s friends. "He had been exiled, under penalty of death.’’ Mexico sides with Sacasa. contending the Diaz government is a "force of arms” product. But the United States can’t see it. Protests that the United States foisted Diaz, friend of American business Interests, on Nicaragua are emphatically denied. The election of Diaz after Chamorro’s retirement was Investigated, and the State Department decided that although attendant circumstances left much to be desired, it was about as good an election as could be hoped for in Nicaragua. Therefore, so far as Washington !s concerned, Diaz seems in for good—and Sacasa out for good. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

Times Wnshln'itnn Bureau, liii Sew 1 ork Avenue WASHINGTON, Dec- 28.—For the first time in history the Interior Department has obtained options on thousands of acres of land to guard against price increases when reclamation areas become populated.

Bu United Press .WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Little hope is held that the House will pass tho Norris lame duck amendment to tho Constitution at this session.

It has passed the Senate three times. Representatives Hayes B.
