many is regarded here as practically
certain.
Brazil, aroused by the sinking of her
steamship Parana, is expected to be-
come a belligerent this week, and 1t
is assumed that her lead will be fol-
lowed promptly by other countries.
Reports of divided opinion in Ar
gentina have given officials here lit.
tie encouragement to look for aggres-
sive action by that country.
Active support of the United States
by at least two of the five Central
American republics and possibly by
four will not be surprising. Official
and unofficial reports that Estrada
Cabrera, president of Guatemala, is
contemplating seriously break with
Germany have been received.
So long as Mexico's course is unde.
fined unusual interest is attached to
the position the Central American
governments, especially that of Qua
temala, controlling the southern from
tier of Mexico. In the event of the de-
velopment of an unfriendly situation
in Mexico it is realized that Guate-
mala's role would be far from unim-
portant.
In Guatemala Estrada Cabrera has
built up what is regarded generally as
the most efficient army in Central
America, and with it he would be in a
position to lend valuable assistance to
the United States. Antipathy be-
tween the Guatemalans and the Next
cans there has existed for years.
1t is known that earnest efforts
have been made by counsellors of Ca
brera to induce him to enter prompt
ly into the war. If he does place his
country in the list, it is expected that
Nicaragua will quickly follow and that
the long standing difficulties between
those two countries and Salvador and
Honduras may be swept away in de-
sire to present a united Central
America.
