CENTRAL AMERICA UNION

Costa RIGA Suggests Conference to
Consider Renewal of Peace
Treaties Of 1907. 4

BY the Associated Press
LA LIBERTAD. San Salvador. August
ls-The government of Costa Rica has
approached the other Central American
governments with the idea of a meet
ing of their plenipotentiaries TO con-
slider the propagation OF the Washing
ton treaties of 1907. The government
of San Salvador had previously made
"a similar proposal to renew the peace
agreements. which now are nearing the
expiration of their ten-year term.
The government OF Costa Rica awaits
itself of the opportunity to suggest to
congress TO study the possible unif-
cation of the i've Central American re-
publics, including. besides itself, Guate-
mala. Salvador. Nicaragua and Hon.
duras This idea already has been re-
ceived enthusiastically by the people
of Honduras. The municipal bodies and
all classes of society in that country

tication. and there is under contempla-
ton a general propaganda TO further
the idea.
posed to approach with this intention
the public bodies over all the isthmian
countries. The San Salvadorian CO.
operation has expressed its adhesion to
the plan and the Honduran and Saliva
doran newspapers are printing articles
in favor Of the union. Student associa-
lions and labor usions also have begun
a propaganda to that effect.
In December 1907, Guatemala, Salvador.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica pledged them
selves to preserve the absolute neutrality
of Honduras. As ii Is impossible for
troops to go from one country TO another
without crossing some part OF Honduras,
war would be physically impossible while
the treaty was observed. In addition all
matters of dispute between the Central
American countries were to be referred
