Guatemala, in many ways the most
important: Of the FIVE Central American
republics, which figured prominently in
the news recently because Of pro
posal to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that the forced resignation
and subsequent Imprisonment Of Presi-
dent Estrada Cabrera be investigated,
is the subject of a bulletin issued by
the National Geographic Society.
Guatemala, which has been econo-
mically and in military sense one OF
the most powerful Of the five Central
American states ever since itswas the
seat OF the old Spanish viceroyal gov
ernment for the entire region is a
country both blessed and cursed by
coffee" says the bulletin. Coffee is a
blessing to Guatemala in that it has
brought much money into the country
and. has made the plantation owning
class exceedingly prosperous. The
United States is the chief source of
this prosperity, for the greater part Of
the coffee produced is exported there
enough in 1919, figuring 40 cups TO the
pound, to furnish more than three bill
lion portions Of the steaming beVer-
age, about thirty cups for every person
in the United States.
Raise Coffee: Let Other Riches Go.
Coffee may be considered in a sense
q curse to Guatemala because its pro-
duction dominates every other activity
in the republic, and is the Indirect
reason therefore for failure to develop
most of the country's other resources.
Though the plateau country of the
southwest apparently could be made to
produce wheat, -four is imported. A
number of other food products that
could be produced are also brought In
from outside. Cotton could be grown

all industries that could be developed
most profitably. North American en-
terprise has in recent years built up
heavy production Of bananas in the hot
plains along the Atlantic coast, in a
region formerly covered with jungle
and considered practically worthless.
The value Of bananas exported now is
second only to that of coffee. In con-

time is that announced for January 3.
1922, when whole township OF 23.040

This is very valuable and desirable
