EFFICIENCY ~ ROAD
WORK
Evening star., 1915-11-07

The worst thing about Guatemala is
its monetary system. The pan-Amer-
lean financial conference in Washing
ton in one of its group conference re-
ports sought to analyZe the situation
for the benefit of the American public.
1t discovered that the monetary sys-
tenn needed reorganization, and that the
people needed better credit facilities
The large volume of paper notes out
standing has greatly deprecated the
buying power of the people but the
worst effect, on which the pan-Amer-
lean group did not touch, has been the
loss Of wages to the working popula-
tion.
The pan American group found that
1T would be necessary for Guatemala la to
borrow S12.000,0o0 in gold to place and
maintain the country on a gold stand
ard. A loan in the United States was
suggested for that purpose.
American f1nanciers heretofore have
been somewhat shy of financing Guate-
mala, though a few years ago plans
were fairly well advanced for the es-
tablishment of an American bank. They
fell through. for various reasons, in
cluding the uncertainty as to the means
OF refunding the debt and the gener,
ally nsatisfa ctory economic situation.
The Germans still are the predominant
ing financial power in Guatemala not
withstanding the interruption to their
trade caused by the world war Their
investments in coffee plantations alone
amount to S12,000,000. They show no
eagerness to let go these investments.
The largest investment which the
United States may be said to have Is
in the railways, the outcome of c. T.
Huntington's original investment. Part
of the capital in these railways has
been supplied by the sale of bonds In
Europe, yet the companies are gener-
ally looked upon as an American in
vestment, and in the ca Sc OF trouble the
investors unquestionably would look
to the United States for protection.
The United States is now taking more
of the Guatemalan coffee crop, and the
business on both sides is growing.
That may be one reason why President
Cabrera expects this country to dis
courage the revolutionary element,
which looks to the Washington admin
fstration to lend its moral influence to
ending his rule in Guatemala because
he is another Diaz.

who characterize Cabrera as another
Diaz, will not make much headway by
mere Characterization of this kind.
President Cabrera actually has ini-
tiated many social and economic re-
forms, but his opponents give him no
credit for them. He has to deal with
an Indian population in a mass which
is unlike the peon population of Mexico
1t is homogeneous, but has none of the
tribal characteristics of the Mexican
Indians. Consequently, there are few
tribal leaders to set themselves up as
military chieftains.
The military class has never gotten
the hold In Guatemala that 1t has OBJ
tanned in other Latin American coun-
tries. Cabrera himself is civilian. He
was lawyer at Quetseltenango. who
had become primer designado." or first
vice president, without opposition. at a
time when the military dictatorship of
Rufno Barrlos was strongest. On sue
ceeding to the presidency, he aston
ished the military chiefs by organizing
a compact following which Offset their
plans They were not strong enough
to organize a successful revolution
against him, and this has been the sit
administration. He has escaped assas-
sination narrowly on several occasions.
Cabrera has differed essentially from
Porfirio Diaz in that he has not sur
rounded himself with any group of men
such as the cientifcos. He has been
and he will continue to be the whole
government, so long as his power lasts.
He has also shown considerable re-
sourcefulness as a diplomat. He has
STAYED off importunate foreign credit
ors and has baffled the foreign govern
ments which threatened him. At times
he has been in high favor in Washing
ton. and at other times his popularity
has been below zero. His status at the
present period Is not exactly known.
AS part of his general policy Presi-
dent Cabrera has encouraged develop
ing the resources of Guatemala. The
railways which he has caused to be
built are part of a general program of
internal development. The coffee crop
is the foundation of such prosperity as

count the President of Guatemala. His
railway lines stopped within just mile
of the bridge.
The situation in Mexico was given as
the reason why the last mile was not
linked up. which would give Guatemala
City through railway connections with
New York city. This missing mile is
not likely to be supplied until Guate-
Cabrera, is fully satisfied as to future
events in Mexico.
The relation of Guatemala to the
other Central American countries does
not present so many angles as does
that to Mexico. Guatemala as the larg-
est country in Central America always
has been under the suspicion of the
other countries that she sought to
dominate them. She has had some able
generals, who have undoubtedly cher
ished this ambition, but when the die
tator. President Rufino Barrios, fell at
the head of his troops this prospect
was ended in the military sense
Thereafter, any power which Guate-
mala exerted was through the under
ground channels Of Central American
diplomacy.
The official attitude of Guatemala in
relation to the other Central American
countries has been that Of benevolent
neutrality, but this benevolence some
times takes a form that was not appre-
ciated. Whenever a revolution starts
in Honduras. for example, the cynical
Central Americans are in the habit of
saying that it is a revolution against
Guatemala, or in favor of Guatemala,
as the case may be. The President of
Guatemala naturally desires friendly
president in Honduras, and hence it has
happened that the Honduras president
sometimes has been protege of the
Guatemalan executive.
The internal situation of Guatemala is
the test by which the country's rela-
tions with Mexico and the other Cen
trail American countries will be deter
mined. The Guatemalan revolutionists
and their abettors in the rest of Gen.

York:
THE allies are bound to win. They
will win because their side is the right

prevails. and because in men and in

But" continued Mr.. Pulitzer. when
you ask me how long it is going to

answer you as Diogenes answered the

"A traveller halted before the Greek

or in the cars of what friendly-even
Observation-Disclosures beings, army and
navy men really are.
One will be droning along in a Con-
necticut avenue car around lunch time
and the attention is arrested by the
snappy movement with which a well
set-up man comes aboard; there is a
kind of alertness about his eye (Which
is not bloodshot and bulging); and an
expression boyish. even in old men:
tender, too, as a womans, flashes for an
instant at the sight of another of the
same general appearance Is himself
whom he greets by his first name. if
not by a nickname, and-every body
hitching. of course-these comrades at
arms sit down together, a fine specta-
Gle of friendship plus efficiency, which.
in brief is patriotism reduced to a
working basis.
In Boston paper the other day ap-
peared a long letter from a man who
had been in the Plattsburg camp. and a
large portion of the letter was devoted
to conscientiously trying to prove to
supposedly doubling world what his
experience at Plattsburg had affirmed
(to his own evident astonishment), that
army officers are not scheming to
plunge the nation into war in order to
better their situation in life; to the
contrary, all the officers he had met at
Plattsburg were-if one can believe it
quite human. intelligent, and even
patriotic human beings.
Popular-priced excursions to Wash
ington to taste the sweets of friend
ship here might prove much in the
interest of preparedness. In any case.
the experience in friendship to be had
for cents on any Washington street
car would make such excursion profit
able-particularly to people from Bos-
ton.
1t was a discerning little manicure
girl on street who, with tears in her
friendly eyes, said. I'm just as mad as
can be to think that Boston won the

The motormen ana cdnauctors on IL
emblems of the Presidents firm stand
against hyphenated Americans; they
are not only American, but, what is
more, they speak the language which
seems remarkable to one coming from
New York, and the human kindness
with which they run the cars seems
like miracle of grace.
Fat old ladies', nearly block OFF,
wave their hands to the motorman as
confidently al they would beckon to a
son, and the car is stopped, whereupon
not only conductor and motorman, but
everybody in the waits with the
greatest interest for the old Gears to
come aboard.
BY the time they are good and set

likely as not they sight a friend down
at the other end of the car or in the
middle of the opposite side. They call
out. why. how do you do, Maria, or
then everybody takes notice that par
ticular friends are separated, and there
commences a general hitching and
begging of pardons, and somebody will
stand up or hang to a strap-anything
necessary to let true friends get to-
gether side by side.
Riding on street cars in Washington
requires almost constant hitching in
the exercise Of friendship, but this Is
far less uncomfortable than the show
ing one gets at fashionable church
wedding or a big reception. and while
the social air is just as marked the
friendly spirit is far more manifest.

car. got off, ran up to the house. wrote
down the real estate agents name, has
tened back to the car. handed the ad-
