The preclame ation was issued after & tween President Machado NOW IN NICARAGUA (Continued from First Page) Nicaragua by U. 8. marines is at the request of the Nicaraguan govern- ment for supervision of their 1938 elections. 3—Augustino Sandino, the Nicara- gua rebel leader against whese forces U. 8. marines now are fight- ing, is a bandit, according to Stim- son, not a patriot, 4—Our Panama Canal interests require that Central American gov- crnments shall be adequate to pro- tect the rights of foreigners and thus avold danger of foreign inter- . vention, “\What is the responsibility of the United States in the present Nicara- guan situation?” the United Press asked. Stimeon said that was fully cover- ed iIn his book “American Policy in Nicaragua.” The book says: American Interests “The national safety of our own country has imposed upon us a pe- culiar interest in guarding from for- eign influence the vital sea route through the Caribbean sea and the Panama Canal and therefore in see- ing to it that no cause for foreign intervention may arise along the borders of that route. To protect this interest we are excluding foreign na- tlon from exercising even well- recognized rights of redress against Central American and Caribbean re- publics whose territory commands that routs, and in consequence we | ' have incurred an obligation to see that these foreign nations are pro- tected against injury arising from the failure of those American re- publics in the exercise of their re- sponsible duties as independent na- tions.” The second question was: “What 1s the status of Bandino? Is hé ban- dit or revolutionist? What are his aims in opposing the existing Nicaraguan government and the U. 8. forces?” Thinks Sandino a Bandit “I have never met Sandino,” Stimson sald. “In my book I quote a. statement as to his character made by his former commander, General Moncada, lcader of the former revo- lutionists under whom 8andino served and the present officlal di- rector of thé liberal party in Nicara- gua. From statements thus made and from other statements made by Moncada to me, it is my view that Sandino's record has been one of in- discriminate pillage upon both lib- erals and concervatives alike; that he is in no sense a patriotic support- er of a cause but that he came to Nicaragua after the revolution be- gan solely for the purpose of the loot for which it offered him an op- portunity, “He had not been in Nicaragua during the preceding 22 years, as I am informed.” Gen.
