The article presents news related to political issues in the U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, in his message to Congress justifying his private war in Nicaragua, uses all the assorted excuses which he has used on previous occasions. First, he insists that his favorite President is the constitutional President. His own account of Nicaragua President Don Adolfo Diaz's election is enough to deny his argument. Second, Mr. Coolidge suggests that it is his duty to aid Diaz because some Mexicans have aided Sacasa. Next, Mr. Coolidge says that American investments in Nicaragua need protection. Then, Mr. Coolidge fears that if the revolution continues the Nicaraguan currency will be inflated, thereby menacing American business interests. Patriotic publicists and prosperity-puffers are fond of telling Americans that they are the best-fed people in the world. But now, people in the country is the most-fed. City dweller eats everywhere and all the time, before meals, at meals, and after meals, on the street, in the subways, and at office desks.
