I. 5. MAY ESTABLISH
~ A PROTECTORATE
This the Next Probable Move in
Nicaragua.
Washington, D. C. (Special). —
One of the projects for the solution
of the Nicaraguan situation which
has been strongly urged upon the
State Department is the establish-
ment of a protectorate, either singly
by the United States, or jointly with
Mexico. This may be regarded as
necessary in the event that the in-
surgents fail to displace Zelaya by
their own efforts, and may even fol-
low an insurgent triumph which
would leave the country without re-
sponsible leaders.
It is sald that precedent for such
action could be found in the cases
of Santo Domingo and Cuba. In the
first instance large sums of money
were owing to American citizens
which eould not be collected from the
Dominican government (then in a
state of chaos) by diplomatic means,
In the case of Nicaragua the govern-
ment has defaulted in the payment
of the agreed allotments in the
Emery claim. In the case of Cuba
a state of disorder that threatened
the safety of the lives and property
of Americans and other forigners ex.
isted that was the warrant for in-
tervention.
There is some reason to believe
that a forward movement will be
made by this government in the near
future; perhaps as soon as a suffi-
cient number of marines have been
gathered off the Nicaraguan coast
