Although these, arrangements had
some effect in promoting political
stability in Central America, their
aims were never entirely fulfilled.
During the last fifteen years var
ious political movements have oc.
CURED a.among the five republics
most important of which were steps
toward a Central American union.
This union could not be completed,
partly because. of the nonparticipa-
ton of Nicaragua, and during the
last two years there has been a gen.
eral coraition of political unrest
among the Central Republics.
Upon the initiative of Nicaragua,
a melting was held last August 20,
aboard the u. S. S. Tacoma, in Fon-
SEGA Bag, between the presidents of
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador,
looking toward the establishment of
peaceful relations between these
three countries. The call for the pre-
sent conference at Washington is
the result of that conference.
At the meeting aboard the Tacoma
the governments of Guatemala and
Costa Rica were invited to accept
me agreement reached there. They
replied that such adherence was not
necessary as they regarded the treaty
of 1907 as still in force and intended
to abide by it's provisions.
This revelation Of a unanimous
wish for peaceful solution of Central
American difficulties paved the way
for the United States State Depart
ment to issue an invitation for a new
conference at Washington, in which
the former treaties would be revised
and enlarged and other important
matters discussed.
The result was the issuance of an
invitation Through the American

tral American Republics for the con-
