A | 4 i U. S. INTERVENTION IS ASSAILED AGAIN Prof. Hackett Blames State Department for Nicara- guan Iiis. By the Assoctated P WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 16 —The policy of the United States in Nicaragua today was again assailed by Prof. Charles W. Hackett of the Uni- | versity of Texas, at a round-table ses- sion of the Institute of Politics. Intervention by the United States and the negotiation of the Bryan- Chamorro treaty not only brought an end of dominance by the majority Lib- jeral party in Nicaragua, he insisted but was an important factor in pre- venting the establishment of the Cen- tral American Federation. “All the deplorable events connected with recent military intervention by th- United States in Nicaragua might hav been avoided if the American Govern- ment had recognized Sacasa, instead of merely frowning upon Chamorro,” he said. “Our Government's refusal to up- hold constitutional government in Jan- uary, 1926, and its justification Wwholesale intervention in Nicaragua within a year on the ground that it must uphold constitutional gevernment —that of Adolfo Diaz, the constitution- ality of which can be gravely question- ed—has Injured the moral prestige of the United States at home and abroad.* Speaking at the conference on Paci problems.
