Believed Necessary For Protection of American Lives, Says Official.
NO ARBITRATION
Mexican Question Not in Suitable Condition For Settlement.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. The administration will reject without comment the Borah Latin America peace plan, a Republican spokesman at the capitol told the United Press today.
Marines will remain in Nicaragua as long as leaders here think it is necessary to protect American lives and property there, and the Mexican dispute is not considered suitable for arbitration now, declared this official, who is in a position to reflect the opinion of President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellogg.
This policy was affirmed in the face of congressional attacks on the Coolidge-Kellogg policies while both defenders and opponents moved for decisive action in the controversy which has stirred the nation to the possibility of war.
Kellogg is understood to be concluding his review of testimony he gave before the senate foreign relations committee Wednesday, with a view to making public certain portions of it. The revised account is expected to be sent before night to Chairman Borah of the committee.
Legislative action in the case is held up pending definite reaction of the country to the Borah peace plan. Borah suggested that recognition of the Diaz Nicaraguan government should be withdrawn and an election held by the Nicaraguan people. He proposed that the Mexican oil lands dispute be submitted to arbitration.
All factions are awaiting reaction to the Borah plan because its adherents have made clear that if it meets with approval it will be embodied in a resolution and offered to the senate for a vote.
Democrats generally are inclined to favor the plan.
