central Amerlcan Annexation.

IL Is a historical fact not generally
known to The people OF the United
States that the provisional congress
Of the Central American states once
passed an act for annexation to the
United States
This act was passed December 2,
1922, but, strange to say, the govern
ment Of The United states took no
action In the matte.
Subsequently 10 this, July ], 1928,
Nicaragua, Costa llica, Guatemala
San Salvador and Honduras declared
themselves an independent nation un-
der the title of The Central Ameri-
can Republic with the device for
the flag Of fire volcanoes" and the
motto "Di0s, Union, Ibcrtad Cod,
Union Liberty.
One cannot well imagine what an
opportunity was lost TO tho United
States. It Is one Of the richest cOup-
tries on the globe, but about the only
things thai are allowed to prosper
tbcse, and in the land Of sunshine and
beauty, are. internal war and reyolu
tlOn, and these are nUrturcd to an
astonishing perfection.
