He forwarded a cable to this effect to Dr. T. S. Vaca, eonfidential agent Appeals for Fairness. Dr. Sacasa expressed fear that the eontinued policy of the United States m protecting the Diaz regime would result in a needless loss of life. His message concluded with an appeal to the American public for fairness and thanks to members of congress who have opposed intervention. His statement follows: “The latest news indicates large reinforcements of marines the constitutional armies and, by vio- lence, impose the regime of Adolfo Diaz upon the Nicaraguan people. Never Offended. “Such occurrence will exact a larger toll of sacrifices from the peo- ple of my country who have never offended or injured the United States. “In: order to save them from ravage and affliction, I am, and I have al- ways been ready to set aside my con- stitutional rights to the presidency, but it is impossible for me to betray my oath and my conscience by ac- cepting Adolfo Diaz whom the mass- es of the people of Nicaragua clearly reject. To-accept him would be only to sanction a further increase of the internal distress of my country. Sacrifice Lives. “T fear our military suecesses may impel the department of state to’sac- rifice the people of Nicaragua and the lives of American marines for the benefit of purely material inter- ests. “Nicaragua feels deeply grateful tc every one of the American senators, congressmen and newspapermen who so nobly defended her cause and I, once more, appeal to the spirit of fairness of the American people to help secure justice for my country in the interest of true Pan-Am?-f- canism, the only hope of salvatian for the future of the new world.” Boy Burglar Busy.
