Immediate withdrawal of Marines from Nicaragua proposed
Washington reports a resolution introduced by Senator Wheeler demanding the immediate withdrawal of American marines and warships from Nicaragua. The bill claims U.S. forces violate American and Nicaraguan constitutions, criticizes the state department for recognizing the Maz government and sending troops, and asserts American lives and property are not in danger. In Managua three day battle at Las Perlas ends as the bloodiest so far with 302 killed and 350 wounded amid Mexican and American recognitions backing Conservative Diaz government versus Liberal Sacasa government. Paris notes protests to Coolidge and Dawes over American intervention and Latin students urge Panama to reject a treaty with the United States described as a betrayal of Latin American independence.
