United states to make peace possible
for her and lost no vestige OF her
freedom as a nation. just AS Cuba has
been made a land of peace and pros

Neither Cuba nor Nicaragua is
likely TO give the United States credit
for disintcrestedness. Though this
Government may yield again every
vestiSe of authority that is given to
II. IL is likely to be constantly ac-
cused of a desire to gohble up Latin
America. There has never been a
nation since time began which failed
TO consider its own advantages in
such matters and II Is therefore not
surprising that the world should be
suspicious of Uncle Sam.
But the old gentleman has done the
handsome thing in Cuba and in Mica

friends and personal advisers Of the

At Corinto on the coast the
United States cruiser Annapolis rides
at anchor and aboard her are $50
more marines. There are other
ships OF the Pacific fieet within call,
with additional marines and blue
Jackets In reserve at Panama and
San Diego. Then there Is ulti-
mately the army and navy Of the
United States ready TO support this
handful OF soldier-sailors in what
ever difficulty it might find itself.
II works out that the purpose for

comes interesting to all attention TO
the work that Is to-day being done by
a handful of marines that were dele
gated three years ago TO establish
and maintain peace in Nicaragua. the
most chaotic OF the Latin Americas.
The public has almost forgotten that
the United States las n military force
ashore in Nicaragua. In fact 1t has
almost forgotten about Nicaragua, for
there has been no sensational news
from there for three years. There have
been no uprlsings. no revolutions. and
these form the basis Of most Of the
news from that part of the world.
Nicaragua has been completely at
peace. Not only has no hand been
raised against the Government. hut
there has not been ever the sizzling
OF a revolutionary plot. Half a million
people have been following peaceful
and prosperous lives where there had
always been revolution. And this
solely because a hundred men who
wear the uniform Of the United States
are sitting on the lid at Managua. the
capital. To he sure each Is a human
buzzsaw Of high geared fighting abil-
ity. but non OF them has been called
into action. Their presence and the
knowledge that the force OF the United
States is back Of them has been sufi-
cicnt.
The marines are In Managua at
the invitation of the Government. They
are assigned comfortable barracks in
Tie heart ~ the old town. The United
states legation is near by and they are
nominally its guard. The palace OF
President Adolfo Diaz is likewise not
far distant and their actual purpose
is 10 keep the head Of that man upon
his shoulders and the Government Of
which he is the guiding spirit in ron
troll. Both these things are accom-
plished and without raising a finger.
To be sure there are the machine
u at the barracks with which
these khaki cad youngsters from
the north drill with persistent regu-
larity. Those inclined to revolution
have tasted the deadllness Of these

charge that they had been operating

SO unpleasant grew the situation
that influence Of the United States
was constantly thrown against Re
laya and the pressure eventually
forced him to flee. Zclaya delegated
his authority to DIR. Madriz. against
whom the revolution was continued.
Success finally came to the revolu-
tionists, largely through the pressure
exerted by the United States and
through the excellent fighting done
by Gen. Mena. n pure blood Indian.
Juan Estrada became President n
Adolfo Diaz Vice-President. the United

No oon was peace restored than

Mena's revolution resulted in new
chaos. Foreigners were treated with

So the Government invited the

Judges reversed one another. Here
after when they are in doubt they can
privately talk their difficulties over
with the Federal Trade Commission.
Promiscuous clubbing has been halted
for the present. at all events. How
the new policy will work out has yet
to be tested.
The Trade Commission. like the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. which
has Jurisdiction over the railroads. Is
an Independent body. 1t was created
by Congress and Is accountable to
Congress. and not to any member OF
the Cabinet. The Commissioners are
appointed by the President for a term
OF seven years with the advice and
consent OF the Senate"-a meaningless
clause ordinarily-and the annual
salary Of each is $4,000.
Their expenses are paid when they
travel. The salary OF their secretary
IL $4,000. Each Commissioner besides
has his own clerk. One hundred and
fifty men and women-economists.

and so on-are already employed
