Central America Needs Our Help In
Debt Adjustment.

bSpk HAJushiiChh'
In Central America the aim has
been to help such countries as Mica
ragua and Honduras to help them
selves. They are the immediate bene-
fciarIes. The national benefit to the
United States is ,two-fold. First, 1t Is
obvious that the Monroe doctrine is
more vital in the ne~ishborhood of the
Panama canal and the zone Of the
Caribbean than anywhere else. There,
too, the maintenance OF that doctrine
falls most heavily upon the United
States. 1t Is therefore essential that
the countries within that sphere shall
be removed from the jeopardy involved
by heavy foreign debt and chaotic ma
tIonal finances and from the ever-pres-
emit danger of international complica-
lions due to disorder at home, Hence
the United States has been glad to en-
courage and support American bankers
who were willing to lend a helping
hand TO the financial rehabilitation of
such countries because this financial
rehabilitation and the protection of
their custom houses from being the
prey OF wouid-he dictators would re-
move at one stroke the menace Of for
eIen creditors and the menace of evo
lutionary disorder.
The second advantage to the United
States IL one affecting chiefly all the
southern and gus ports and the business
and industry Of The south. The republics
OF Central American and the Caribbean
| possess great natural wealth. They need
only n measure Of stability and the means
OF financial regeneration to enter upon
an era of peace and prosperity, bringing
profit and happiness to themselves and at
the same time creating conditions sure to
lead to a fourishing Interchange of trade
with this country.
