NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
President Justifies His Nica-
ragua Policy and Ac-
cuses Mexico.
XPLAINING and justifying his
Latin American policy, President
Coolidge In a special message to con-
gress related the events that have led
up to the administration's action In
the case of Nicaragua, and directly
accused the Mexican government of
promoting the revolution in that coun-
try that, he sald, Is endangering the
lives and property of American citi-
zens and the Interests of the United
States in Nicaragua—the latter being
the canal route rights and the lease
of a navy base on the Gulf of Fon-
seca. These rights and American in-
vestments, Mr. Coolidge asserted,
placed a “peculiar responsibility” on
the United States In Central America.
While disclaiming any desire of
tervention In their Internal affairs,
the President declared that “the sta-
bility, prosperity, and independence”
of the Central American

documentary proof that the Mexican
government had been active not only
in arming the Nicaraguan revolution-
ists but also in plotting the boishevik
penetration of Centrzl America to the
injury of the United States,
Senator Borah, chairman of the
committee, was unconvinced and made
a long speech attacking the adminis-
tration’s policy. Mt was predicted in
Washington, however, that the mes-
sage and Mr. Kellogg's statement
would serve to bring a majority of
congress to the support of the Presi-
dent in the course he is pursuing.
The house committee on foreign af-
fairs also undertook an examination
of the situation but spent much of its
time In partisan squabbling.
Meanwhile efforts were being made
in Nicaragua to bring about peace.
Leading liberals proposed a confer.
ence and the conservatives seemed
willing to hold such a meeting with
Rear Admiral Latimer as arbitrator.
Sacasa vetoed the plan but it seemed
he might be ignored by a large faction
of his party. Considerable reinforce
ments to the American naval forces

way, and Admiral Latimer established
new neutral zones.

Give Pig Some Protein
to Balance Corn Ration
Many farmers have more trouble In
successfully growing fall pigs than
do with spring pigs
According to the New Jersey State
of Agricuiture, this is gen.
erally due either to parasites or to
certain deficiencies in the ration. A
large percentage of the winter ration
generally consists of corn, and this
feed supplies the nutrients needed for
fattening, but must be balanced by
some protein feed if proper gains are
to be made. If skimmilk or butter
milk is available It is onexcelled as
a hog feed to supply the necessary
protein to balance the corn.
If neither of these is to be had,
mixture consisting of two parts of
tankage, one part of linseed oil meal,
and one part of alfalfa meal is good,
advises W, C. Skelley, assistant ani
mal husbandman at the college. This
mixture has given excellent results
in the Middle West, It not only meets
the protein requirement, but the al
falfa meal supplies a vitamin which
is necessary for growth,
