caoutchouc plantations, and numberless
mines are already in the hands OF
Americans. They are planning to buy
great stretches of territory for ranches,
which will yield enormous profits up
on the opening of the Panama Canal.
An American company Is furnishing
Managua with electric lines and Ia pre-
pairing to spread net for the trans
mission of power over the entire coun.
try. Apart from the far.reaching and
exploiting spirit Of the Americans and
their almost reckless investment Of
capital, a large part of their success Is
undoubtedly due to their consular rep
resentation, which undertook through
personal and social relations with the
leading people to make an impression.
