Knox in Central America

citizen for five minutes without re-
ceiving this impression.
In a private interview for the
press, President Jimenez, while mini
MIXING the effect of this sentiment on
the relations of Costa Rica and the
United States nevertheless made
plain his own views on the subject
of united Central America
why" said he, should we unite
with other republics, some of whom
have internal quarrels? We, with
an army of only 900 men continue
at peace and devote our energies to
developing our country. Our gov
eminent is stable. We have no revo-
lutions, we are working out our own
salvation in our own way. Why
should we unite and against whom?
Europe? Uncle Same protects US
from it. Against the United States?
That is absurd. In such an alliance
we would have nothing to gain and
everything to lose"
When il is recalled that President
Eimenez was elected as a pronounced
anti-American the following remarks
by him appear significant of the
changed attitude on the part of this
government:
when / entered Office it was ex-
pected," he said, that the United
States would insist on refunding our
national debt. On the contrary your
government has never in any way in
terfered or sought to interfere with
my administration. We have been
allowed to settle our own domestic
difficulties. Our relations have been
most cordial. Now what we need is
more money and more men in this
country. You will find here many
of your fellow countrymen managing
! large capital Of their own or OF per-
sons who reside in the United States
Far from frowning upon their good
luck we are pleased to see it and as
their gains are not derived through
legislative favors, their prosperity
does not diminish, but on the con-
tray, helps to augment vigorously
the prosperity of the nation" Again
he said:
i Mr.. Knox is a charming mar
whom we are honored and hap
by TO welcome. AS / have told the
secretary the intercourse between
Costa Rica and the United States
has been without incident or acct
dent with the exception of the pres
ent incident of the secretary's triI
m saa ne Of houa ga 1T A..
this exception might be the rule"
The sincerity and cordiality of thu
president represents the seeminl
general attitude toward Mr.. Kno,
and his party. They have been mag
nificently entertained. Among tn,
pretty compliments paid on frequen
occasions was the lifting of thei
hats by the men in the vicinity when
ever, as often happened, the nationa
band played The Star SpangIed Ban
Ier."
The papers have given pages Il
the visit with pictures and biograph
ical sketches of the secretary and hi
family but nothing of an unkindl,
nature has appeared. The artist O
a local humorous weekly has had
good deal of fun with the secretar,
earicaturing him as a ferocious WELD

in the best Of humor and very vel
done, too. Another paper represent

San Jose, Costa Rica, March A.
Secretary of State Knox's tour to
the Central American republics in
the interests of international amity is
pleasing him immensely.
Panama received him with unani-
nifty. Before the secretary arrived
IN pana ma word had gone out from
the Arosemena camp that the United
States government favored the re-
election of their leader and on the
morning that Mr.. Knox arrived at
the capital an interview with Arose
men appeared in the local press in
which he said in substance that the
visit OF the American secretary OF
state indicated that the United States
desired that Panama should elect d
president who was the real choice OF
the people and that he was satisfied
tnat the real choice of the people
was himself.
Thus the secretary of state was
confronted with a very general feel
ing that in some way the United
states reserved a right to influence
/ Panama's political affairs. Conver
sation with men in and out of tn,
government, natives and foreigners
showed plainly that this feeling wa
/ the one weak strand in the tie bind
/ ing the United States and Panama.
The first address of the secretar,
went far to dispel this. He made /
plain that his mission concerned in
ternational relations and not the in
ternal affairs OF the republics Wis
tied.
Apparently the effect was excel
lent and government officials and pol
iticians on the outside who had no
spoken together for weeks bantereu
each other good naturally at tn
functions where they were thrown to
cether and as committeeman worke
harmoniously to make the visit o
the secretary and his party personal
ly enjoyable and profitable from
diplomatic standpoint.
In Costa Rica there has been
