Many years ago diplomatic intcrren.
ton became necessary to the protec.

claim of Alsop & Co. against the

had henn tyvn ninrfiyn nffnmntr In In
so through arbitral commissions. which
failed through lack Of jurisdiction.
Now, happily. as the result of The re-

ernments Of the United States and of

to free from any strain those cordial
and friendly relations upon which both
set such store, have agreed by aiproto.

Slain Americans Should Have Been

Since the Washington conventions Of
1907 were communicated 10 the gov.
eminent of the United States as con-
sulting aud advising party this gov.
eminent has been almost continuously
called upon by one or another aud in
turn by all of the five Central Amer.
lean republics TO exert itself Cor the
maintenance of the conventions. Near
~ every complaint has been against
the Zelaya government OF Nicaragua.

considerations Of geographic proximity
to the canal zone and of the very sub

America give to the United Stntes u
special position In the zone OF thesc
republics aud the Caribbean sea.
l need not rehcarse here the patient
efforts of this government to promote
peace and welfare among these re
publlcs. efforts which are fully appre.
ciated by the majority of them who
are loyal to their true interests. 1t
would be no less unnecessary to re.
hearse here the sad tale of unspeak-
able barbarities and oppression alleged
to have been committed by the Zelaya
government. Recently two Americans
were put to death by order Of Presi-
dent Zelaya himself. They were off,
GERS in the organized forces of rev.
olntion- which had continued many
weeks and was in control OF about
half Of the republic, and as such. nc.
cording to the modern enlightened
practice Of civilized nations. they were
entitled to be dealt with as prisoners
OF war.

printed this government has termi-

Zelaya government for reasons made
