On Nicaragua UNIVERSITY, Va, Aug. 8— They are picking on Kellogg and the State Department here at the Uni- versity of Virginia Institute of | Public. Affairs. Practically all the speakers at the round tables and forums on Latin America attack what they call American imperialism. * As political scienti pro- fessors of international law, these good democrats and republicans object strenuously, on legal and moral grounds, to the Yankee inter- vention policy. And the speakers from Latin American countries feel jeven more strongly on the subject. Any idea that the much adver- tised anti-war pact which Kellogg ‘oing to sign in Paris this month | will protect our Caribbean neigh- bors from us or restrain our military rule in those “independent” coun- |tries is simply laughed out at these forums. | British Monroe Doctrine.

These excursions, however, do not extend into the province of Nobyvelle Segovia, where General Sandino with his army of independence holds full sway.
