AS the preservation of peace by the

have been combined into a single fed

lea. A little more than a year ago
this country practically forced two Of
the warning republics to come to
terms. This spring American war
ships patrolled the coasts of Honduras,
Nicaragua and Salvador, protecting
the property of foreigners so effective
ly that they seriously interfered with
the activity of the %contending armies.
The Mexican government has lately
struck a hard blow at revolutions by
demanding that Guatemala surrender
the Guatemalans responsible for the
murder in Mexico of a former Guate-
malan president. If Mexico insists
that murder is murder even when
done in the name Of Central American
revolution, the revolutionists will take
thought before they rise in arms.
There is a growing determination in
the minds Of Mexicans and Ameri-
cans, says Youths Companion, that If
the Central Americans will not con-
duct themselves properly, force nust
be used. Whether the outcome will
be a federation and a formal protec-
torate it is useless to prophesy. Sew
eral previous attempts at federation
have failed. All the republics have
agreed that arbitration is the proper
way to settle disputes, and a formal
treaty providing for arbitration has
been concluded. But when a dispute
arises. the republics disregard the
treaty and rush to arms. AS the
business of the world draws more
closely to the Caribbean sea some
way will be found to make the coun-
tries bordering it safe for the resi-
dence of business men.
