The speaker summed up a detail- ed discussion of past procedure in cases like the Nicaragua strife with: “There is no question one of the | most important dutics reeting upon | the president of the United States | is the affording of protection of | American interests in forelgn coun- trics. He would be grossly derelict fn his duties if he failed to use armed forces at his command in appropriate cases within reasonable bounds.” Many citizens fear the United States policy in South and Central America and in the Caribbean {s leading to “imperialism,” Bingham sald. “As a matter of fact," he con- tinued, “thero is mot the slightest scintilla of “evidence to show that the government of the United States i3 engaged in an imperialist conspiracy to deprive any of the little countries around the Carib- bean of their sovercignty, or do more than help them out of their difficulties and into a period of Bingham deplored “mud-sling- ing” criticism of our Latin Ameri- can pBlicy as lowering our prestige and making us “ridiculous or worse” in the eves of the world. “The republican administration,” Bingham declared, “has followed a far-sighted pelicy of stimulating the development of safe, rcliable com- mercial flving and of encouraging BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WCSDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1928 Charles Birger re is shown witl Charline, From his window n the Frank the arrow, Birger has been his dea remember that faith without work is dead.” GERMANY 1S FAVORIT Spain, by defeating Chile th two in their first round match of the Davis cup climinations, enters second round and will play ner of the Germany-Greeee Germany is expeeted to beat Greece and Spain and meet Australia 1 county j: fiing worl th, the s v ONL MAY DO IT BIRGER SCHEDULED | BIRGER TO HANG TOMORROW ren, Minnie (left) and fiold for ated by | . 5 { ii-final match of the Eure- elimination AGAIN Six times in the past seven years, weriean or ice in open & Hagen and the Britisher, won it in 14 tries have won the Brit- r jonship.
