THE Central American State of 5
Nicaragua. which experienced

TIME Central American State of
Nicaragua. which experienced
twenty wars and revolutions in
the twenty years preceding 1913, has
enjoyed peace, interrupted only by a
few bandit outbreaks, since the latter
date, Three years T,s ago, 1t took about oC,l
rency to buy one good American dol
lar; now the national currency is al
most on a gold basis. Despite plaques
of grasshoppers. droughts and business
disturbances, Nicaragua is moving
steadily to prosperity.
The prime reason for this state of
affairs is that force of about 100
American marines. automatically
known as the legation guard, is camped
near the Nicaraguan white house; and
that the Joint commission, having two
America members. has just finished
adjusting the claims and concessions of
the Nicaraguan Government. The Mica
raguans know that the marines will
suppress any disturbance which threat
ems American lives or property. Where
fore there is no revolution. and Mica
ragua enjoys the unique experience of
having comparatively stable govern
ment for several successive years.
No friction arises out of this arrange
ment. The American marines are quar-
tered in part of a large park, the rest
of which is occupied by the NicaraSuan
army. The two forces live on terms of
the greatest amity and play baseball
propinquity has resulted in an almost
startling Improvement in the appear
ance of the Nicaraguan army. The ma
tive soldiers are initiating the Ameri-
cans in every respect. The starch col
Jared. well-brushed uniform and neat
ly- -shined shoe have made peaceful con-
quest of the Nicaraguan army.
This Nicaraguan situation is not bad
in itself but 1t lacks the element of
permanence. We have no treaty with
Nicaragua which permits us to prevent
disturbances there with armed force.
The status of the marines at Managua
is a bit hard to define. Furthermore.
the situation is complicated by the fact
that treaty of great Importance to
the American people between the Unit

The treaty provides that the United

the possibility of competition. The
