SAN JOSE DE COSTA RIGA,

No other country in Latin America IL
so thoroughly controlled by foreign in
terests as Costa Rica- It Is often said
that the country is satrapy OF the
United Fruit Company, and in some re-
spects this is not so very FAR from the
truth. That great corporation has devel-
oped the banana trade of the country
until Costa Rica is as much dependent
on the banana market for its prosperity
as Porto Rico is dependent on the sugar
market When it is recalled that the
annual production of bananas amounts
to nearly ten million punches: that 1t is
an industry which has been developed
entirely by the United Fruit Company.
and that the industry is maintained al
most entirely by it, there seems to be
just ground for the designation.
But the domination of the United Fruit
Company does not stop there. It. with
its allied interests, practically built the
railroads of the republic and practically
controls them today. Furthermore. Minor
c. Keith, president OF the United Fruit
Company and head of the interests
which have built the railroads. is pracu-
cally the treasurer of the republic Costa
RIGA for years has carried a heavy for
eign debt Time after time it defaulted
in its interest and was put on the black
list by the British Corporation of Foreign
BondholderR There were not funds
enough to be had to meet the interest,
much less to keep UP a reasonable sink
ing fund.
Finally, It was agreed by the foreign
bondholders that II the government OF
Costa RIGA would permit Minor c. Keith
to act as banker for the loan. which
amounts to approximately $S.O0O,OOO.
money would be furnished to satisfy the
old bonds, new bonds being issued there
for, the new bonds to bear 4 per cent in
terest for ten years from January 1, 1911,
and per cent interest from January 1,
1921, until redeemed. Money was adj
vanced in addition to the amount neces-
sary to take up the old bonds and all ac-
cumulated interest so as to bring the new
loan up to a total of approximately $1O.-
100000 the additional funds being pro-
vided for meeting the interest payments
Of the immediate future and for certain
internal improvements.

Country Helped in good Amer
by Banana Industry. their 'v work TX
where once they got 25 cents, he feels
that the Costa Ricans conclusion has
some degree Of reason back Of 1t. The
stimulation that the banana industry has
given the country is evidence on every
hand, and though the big fruit company's
sins may be as scarlet, and in some
ways they must be IL the half Of what
one hears is even approximately true,
1t must be credited with measure of
the peace and prosperity that obtain
throughout the country.
The government Of Costa RIGA has not
always enjoyed healthy financial condi-
tions II, indeed, It's finances are sound
today. In the early seventies the gov
eminent was the victim of that same
merciless foreign exploitation that char
acterized nearly all the Central American
republics at that period. In 1871 it Dor
rowed nearly 5000. OOO-at leastt 1t gave
its bonds for that amount-and got about
So, 100000 therefor. The full assets of the
nation, even the national domain. were
pledged as security for the debt and the
interest charge was Z per cent on the
face value Of the loan.
The next year loan Of nearly $12 OO0,-
wv adultlOndl was negotiated, the re-
public getting 80 cents for each dollar
borrowed, and obligating itself to pay
per cent interest on the face value.
The liquor tax, the coffee tax and the
net earnings Of the railway were pledged
to secure this loan. The government
defaulted on both loans in 1874, and it
was not until 1885 that things were
adjusted again. And then it was Minor
c. Keith who put the deal through. He
persuaded the bondholders to accept new
bonds in lieu Of the old ones at the rate
Of so cents on the dollar the interest
on the new bonds to be 8 and per
cent, instead Of Z per cent, as on the
old ones.
In spite Of this concession, Costa Rica
defaulted again in 1895, and again the
interest was cut nearly in half Again
in 1901 1t defaulted, and continued to
default until 1911. when a new foreign
loan was negotiated, and today the in
terest charges. with Keith as the banker
Of the pledged funds, are being met
promptly. and the foreign bondholders'
council has expressed the hope that in
view of the heavy sacrifices that have
been made by the bondholders Costa
Rica will atone for its checkered finan-
cial past by promptly fulfilling its obliga-
tions in the future.

But the Keith loan is the para
mount one, and at least as long as
this debt remains unpaid Keith is
a power to be reckoned with. But
his connections in Costa RIGA are
such that he is perhaps more interested
in its prosperity than any other man,
and this makes 1t certain that he will do
nothing to place the republic on the back
track.
The Costa Ricans like foreigners. They
regard their stable government as being
the product Of the foreign commercial in
vasion. The foreigner with capital is
heartily welcome, because, they say, that
with combination of foreign capital. for
eign brains and native. natural wealth,
there is no way to prevent prosperity and
growth.
In this attitude the Costa Rican seems
to be wiser than his compeers of the
other countries of Central America. He
admits that the foreigner is getting rich
in Costa Rica. But what If he is?" asks
the Costa Rican. isn't he likewise max
ing money for us? Is he not bettering
