AFFAIRS IN NICARAGUA

Four years ago the United States gov
ernment landed a sizable detachment
of marines in Nicaragua, forcibly stop
ped a civil war that was in progress,
and undertook to provide the Nicaragu-
ans with presidential election that
would be entirely fair and honest.
At that time there was good deal of
criticism of our governments action in
this country. However, the proof of the
pudding lies in the eating Of it; and a
fair way to appraise our intervention is
to cast a glance at the record of the
administration voted into office in that
marine-supervised election.
The Foreign Policy Association has
Just issued study of the Nicaraguan
situation by Raymond Leslie Buell. that
is of considerable interest.
General Jose Marie Moncada was elect
ed president in this election, and took
office on January l, 1929, for four
year term. Mr.. Buell. points. out that he
has already made a number of material
improvements in his country's affairs.
To begin with, the governmental bud
get showed healthy surplus at the end
of his first year in office and while other
Central American countries have been
forced by the business depression to sus-
pend payments of salaries to teachers
and other officials, Nicaragua has not
had to do so. Nearly 100 miles of roads
were paved, and highway from Attain
tic coast to the Pacific has been begun.
The number of schools has been doub-
led work has been done to improve agri-
culture and public health, the railroad
has been nationalized-and made to
show a healthy profit-and, in Mr..
Buell's words, zone hears less of the cor
rupt use of government funds in Nicar-
aqua today than in any other Central
American country
To be sure, the millennium has not yet
arrived. Members of the Conservative
party (opposed to President Moncada
and the Liberals) contend that the pres
ident has proceeded with severity against
political enemies and has restricted the
freedom of the press. The American
trained national guard does not seem to
be functioning perfectly yet, and there
is still some resentment over the part
America has played in the whole situ-
alton.
On the whole, however, Nicaragua
seems to be a good deal better off be-
cause of the marine-controlled election.
American intervention may have been
unwise in the first place; but even if that
point is granted, the officials seem to
have made the best of bad bargain.

A PRIZE WELL-EARNED
W. C. COSTELLO.
Manager

Americans seem to have done rather
well with the Nobel Prizes this year.
Sinclair Lewis gets the prize for litera-
tHre, Karl Landsteiner of the Rockefell-
er Institute gets the prize for medicine,
and now former Secretary of State
Frank B. Kellogg gets the peace prize.
The honors won by these three men are
honors which reflect to the credit of the
whole country, and the whole country
can rejoice with them.
The case of Mr.. Kellogg is of especial
interest. To promote the cause of world
peace is to enlist in one of the noblest
causes that can engage the attention of
man. Mr.. Kellogg's efforts have not on
~ won him contemporary fame; they
have made it certain, as far as such
things can be certain, that his name will
be gratefully remembered by posterity.
A survey of his achievement is extreme
ly interesting.
The Kellogg peace pact did not orig
mate with him, strictly speaking. Dur
ing the wave of good feeling between
France and the United States that fol-
lowed Lindbergh's flight to Paris, Aris-
tide BRAND, French foreign minister,
suggested to Mr., Kellogg that France
and America sign a treaty +. pledging
themselves never to go to war with one
another. 1t was from this suggestion
that the whole, worldwide treaty sprang.
But to say this is not to take any credit
from Mr.. Kellogg. An ordinary secre-
tary of state could have accepted NJ.
Brands suggestion, and the matter
could have ended there. But Mr.. kel-
l0gg had vision enough to see the larger
opportunity. Instead of contenting HIM
self with two-nation treaty, he broad
ened the original suggestion and urged
that other leading powers be included,
including the republic of Germany.
It was this widening the scope of Bri-
and,s suggestion that made it right for
Mr.. Kellogg's name to be affixed to the
treaty; and it was his energetic negotia-
tions to commend the proposal to the
schancelleries of other nations that won
him the peace prize.
The prize was richly deserved. 1t is
too soon, of course, to tell how the Kel-
logg treaty will work in time of stress.
It's critics complain that it lacks teeth,
and predict that it will dissolve under
any strain But it is often the intangi-
BILE which is powerful. The treaty ex-
lists, a solemn pledge; and it has caught
the imagination of the common people
of the world tt is more than likely that
it will prove far stronger force, when
need arises, than is commonly expected.

BAIL SET FOR
MAN WHO Slid.
TO COPS ARMS

Ralph Hunt, apprehended by city
police New Years Eve as he made
q flying ext. down telephone pole
from the office OF the U. S. Grant
Auto Equipment company at Fourth
and Main streets, appeared before
Judge I. Mayfield this morning for
arraignment and his preliminary
hearing was set for January at
S o'clock. Burglary is the charge.
He was admitted to bail in the
sum of $1,000 and committed to
the custody of the sheriff, how
ever. upon his failure to give bond.
Mysterious disappearance OF $l29
IN checks anc currency from the
safe at the plant, constitutes one
OF the interesting phases OF the
case. Hunt is alleged to have beat
,en the COMBINATION from the safe
with two sledge hammers which
were found in the office after his
arrest.
A careful search of the office
and plant have failed to reveal the
$129 and the sum was not upon the
person of Hunt at the time he was
brought into court. The city au-
thorities turned him over to the dis
trict attorneys e-.ice when he came
up in police court yesterday.

"Well. / thought saw Uncle
Wiggily at the top of the hill"
snarled the Fuzzy Fox. But when
! started TO run after him, all of a
sudden there was a strange, new
kind of animal there and I thought
had better come back here as
fast as I could So I did"
Were you scared?" asked the
Wolf.
"A little, yes" admitted the Fox.
so you would be. tool"
Nonsense" howled the Wolf.
What sort of animal was 1t you
saw on top of the hill?" the Bob
Cat wanted to know as he SAT on
his silly little tail to hide it. for he
was ashamed of it.
1T was a queer, new animal" an
swered the Fox. 1T looked like a
rabbit but it was upside down, slid
ing along the hill on its head. I'm
sure 1t couldn't have been Uncle
Wiggily"
Yes, it was!" howled the Bob
Cat. ''Ha! ha! Yes it was! heard
about that new trick he has of slid
ing down the hill on his head. Oh,
dear me! Ha! Ha! Hap
What are you laughing at"
snapped the Fox.
"At you, for being so easily fooled
and scarcd!" chuckled the Bob Cat.
You chaps made fun of me be-
cause I let Uncle Wiggily play a
joke on me by wearing white hat
which didn't show in a drift of
snow. But you were worse fooled
when Uncle Wiggily just stood on
his head and slid down hill. Oh, he
scared you all right"
"Oh, I'm not going to talk TO you
any more!" snarled the Fox and
going into a corner, he curled up
and closed his eyes.
This is getting serious!' whined
the Wolf. I'VE are all very hungry.
Suppose go out and try to catch
that rabbit"
"Yes, dol" begged the Bob Cat.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-01-03

And don't let him fool you with
white hat as he did me, or scare
you by sliding down hill on his head
as he did to scare the Fox
Uncle Wiggily will never fool
met" growled the Wolf. This is
good time to catch him. The snow
is deep. He will sink away down
if he tries to run. am stronger
than he is and I will catch him, for
! can pull myself out of the deep
snow. I'll go get that rabbit and
we shall have some nibbles off his
ears for supper"
SO the Wolf went out of the den.
Truly, as he had said, there was
much SNOW on the ground. And
Uncle Wiggily, after having coasted
down hill on his head, found it quite
hard to walk in the deep drifts.
Il keep sinking down all the
WHILE" said the rabbit gentleman.
II should have big feet. ike an ell
ephant. and then ! wouldn't punch
them through the snow. Oh, If I
had snowshoes. such as the Indians
and the rabbits in Canada wear. I
could easily travel over the snow. !
wish I had some broad. flat SNOW
shoes so I wouldn't sink down"
And just then Uucle Wiggily saw
the Wolf coming after him and the
rabbit cried:
| "Oh, I certainly need snowshoes
now!" For as he tried to run he
found his sharp paws sinking away
down in the soft snow and it waS
hard to walk, to say nothing of run
ming. On came the strong Wolf
His paws also went in the snow but
he pulled them out. Uncle ,viggily
could not do this, The Wolf was
coming nearer and nearer.
| "Oh, if only bad snowshoes"
cried the poor bunny.
Make yourself a pai- out OF
pieces of bark" yelled Blue Jay
in a tree. "Gnaw off some strips OF
bark, paste them on your paws with
sticky gum from the pine tree and
you can run away from the Wolf.
! No sooner said than done. Quickly

birch bark snowshoes, and with
these on his paws be no longer sank
in the snow. So he could run fast
over the drifts and in this way he
got away from the Wolf. But is
was. a narrow escape. And If the
orange doesn't try to hide in the
apple dumping and make it swell
up like a football, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's ice skates.
