The internal revenues were, as here
tofore, to be collected by the govern
ment. Collection of the internal rev.
enue, however, was to be taken over
by the collector general of customs,
an American citizen appointed by the
N1caraguan government and approved
by the Secretary of State of the
United States, If the product should
average less than $50, 900 a month for
three consecutive months. This has
never yet been necessary. The pro-
ceedS> or the customs revenues were
to be applied. first, to the payment of
such sums as might be agreed upon
In the contemplated contracts for the
service of the foreign loan, the in
ternal loan and claims against the
N1caraguan government. From the
balance of the revenue $50, 900 a
month was to be used for the ordinary
pudget expenses and an additional
$l0,OUO Tor extraordinary expenses.
Finances Rehabilitated.
Under this financial plan the
finances of Nicaragua have been re-
habllltated In very satisfactory
manner. OF the s3,744,0OO of internal
customs bonds issued in 1917 about
S90O,OOO have been paid. OF the ex-
ternal debt bonds issued in 1909
amounting to f1,250.OO0. there now
remain only about f770, 900. The total
pubic debt of Nicaragua has been
reduced from about $22,0000 900 in
1917 to $685., 203 at the beginning of
1926. Furthermore, the country in
time of peace has ample revenues for
us ordinary budget expenses and a
surplus which has been used in ex-
tensive public improvements The
Nicaraguan National Bank and the
National Railroad, controlling inter
ests in which were formerly owned
by American bankers, were repur-
chased by the Nicaraguan govern
ment in 1920 and 1924, and are now
wholly owned by that government.
There is no question that if the
revolution continues, American in
vestments and business interests in
Nicaragua will be very seriously af
fected. If not destroyed. The cur
rency, which is now at par, will be
inflated. American as we'll as for
eign bondholders will undoubtedly
look to the United States for the pro-
lection of their interests.

did not establish the financial plan

"Manifestly the relation of this

Wants to Prevent Conflict.
Coincident with receipt of President

ragua, the House was asked today by
Representative Romjue, Democrat,
Missouri, to direct it's foreign affairs
committee to ascertain promptly all
information available on the Mica
raguan available, that the facts may

Marines Land at Las Perlas.
Word that American bluejackets
had landed without incident at Las
Perlas, where the Sacasa Liberal
forces recently engaged a force of
Conservative troops under President
DiaZ' banner, was received in news
dispatches today from Managua,
which added that the place had been
declared q neutral zone.
Rear Admiral Latimer, in command
guam waters, was reported as having
taken steps to prevent the landing of
arms by anyone except the DiaZ gov
eminent which recently was granted
permission by the State Department
here to import arms and ammunition
previously purchased in this country,
but held up by the American embargo.
Mobilization of the Marine force
at San Diego, expected to be COM
pleted by nightfall, was announced
by Maj. Gen. Lejeune, Marine Corps
commandant, as having been neces-
sary because of the transfer of 400
Marines from Guantanamo, Cuba, to
Nicaragua, which eliminated the only
force of it's kind that could be used
on immediate notice in an "emer-
gency" He said the move had no
significance in view of the Nicarag-
uan, Mexican and Chinese situations
and that he acted on his own initia-
tive and in accordance with custom
airy procedure in assembling the
force.
. While officials here still were lack
ing adviceS today as to actual hap
penings in Nicaragua, reports from
San Juan del Sur, said, that passen-
gers arriving there from Corinto re-
ported as imminent an attack by the
Liberals on Leon. Authorities at San
Juan, it was reported, asked that an
American force be landed there, but
We're refused by the commander of
the u. S. S. Galveston, who said
Marines were not needed. The Galve-
ston left Sunday morning presumably
to patrol the Pacifis coast.
Before evacuating Nandaime, on
the Pacific side, 800 Liberals are re-
ported to have sacked the stores and
killed Irineo Quintenela, a prominent
Conservative.

States to Nicaragua was the sum OF
So 600 600 At the time OF the pay
ment of this money financial plan
was drawn up between the N1cara-
guam government and its creditors
which provided for the consolidation
of Nicaragua's obligations. At that
time the bondholders holding the
Nicaraguan external debt consented TO
a reduction in interest from TO D
per cent, providing the service OF this
loan was handled through the Amerl-
can collector of customs, and at the
same time a series of internal guaran-
teed customs bonds amounting to
S3,744.OO0 was issued by the Nicara-
guam government to pay Off the claims
which had arisen against 1t because or
revolutionary disturbances from 1909
to 1912 The other outstanding ex-
ternal bonds, amounting on February

Great Britain. OF the guaranteed Gus
toms bonds, $2,S67 900 were on Febru.
airy /, 1925, still in circulation, and or
these about $1,000000 were held by
Nicaraguans, $1,00O,000 by American
citizens and the balance by nationals
Of other countries. The bonds held
in the United States are held by the
public in general circulation and, so
far as the department knows, no
American bankers are directly inter-
ested in the Nicaraguan Indebtedness.
This financial plan was adopted by
an act of the Congress of Nicaragua
on August 81, 1917. The National
Bank of Nicaragua was made the de-
pository of all government revenues.

CELEBRATE MAY DAY

On May / thousands of workers and poor farmers
In the United States well the rest of the world,
will lay down their tools and celebrate May Day.
On this day they will show the bosses that the work
ers and poor farmers united against their enemies
and win continue to fight them until we have

bosses government
May Day is a workers holiday. 1t was started in
America and has been celebrated th1uout the world
since The bosses did not like this, they gave as
Labor Day, the first Monday in September. But
our real Labor Day is on May 1.
The children of the working class should also cele-
bFate May Day because they are also part Of the
working class and they too are interested in form
inc workers and farmers government. They know
that il a workers government, like Soviet Russia
there is NO CHILD LABOR, and that in workers
government the bosses cannot do as they please.
They know that workers government provides
schools. Fairgrounds, parks, camps and all things
that 60 to make strong, healthy and intelligent chill
dren.
They know they can get these things only in
Workers and Farmers Government. That's why
they too celebrate May Day.
