This nettled all of Latin America, and #t nettied the Nicaraguans. The ques- tion was how to get the Marines out of Nica: Secretary Huxm had not ed it, though it x:).mm for January 1, ms at the Ilr‘::t request of Presis dent lolar- ted on & coalition ticket in November, 1924. Secretary Kellogg, upon his arrival at the State Department from don, took up the pmbl‘m of getting Ma: rines out of Nicaragiia. He accom: i nbhnruy on August 4, 1925. 925. Nicaraguan order lasted three weeks. Priends of Gen. Chamorro, defeated Conservative candidate, had expected the withdrawal of the “leathernecks” and had prepared. Liberal members of the Solorgano coalition cabinet were at- tending & banqueét on the night of Au- gust 25, when they were seised,'together with the banquet. The latter was eaten by the Chamorro element and the for- mer imprisoned. Thereafter Chamorro progressed rap- {ly toward power. Two months later his forces took the fortress overlooking the city of Managua, and on January 16, 1926, Chamorro assumed the duties of office over the warnings and protest | of the United States. .American recog- nition was withheld. Chamorro pro- tested and held his own against the Liberal revolutionists who opposed him. The rest is fairly recent history. Secretary Kellogg sent Henty L. Stim- son to Nicaragua. The latter brought the factions together and arranged for the 1928 elections, supervised by ‘an American electoral commission headed by Brig. Gen. McCoy and & few Ma- tines. This election stabilized the situ- ation in Nicaragua, and the question of withdrawing American Mafines now pastes to the Hoover administration. If reports from Manila are correct, that Gov. Gen. Stimson is réturning to the United States to be Secretary Kel- logg's successor at the State Depart- ment, then the question of bringin home the Marines will be oné of his first preoccupations in office. Relations Improved. To the credit of the ref Secretary of State ‘is the fact that relations be- rian legislation, the selsure of Ameri- can-owned haclendas, the status of American stockholders in Mexican cor- porations and of American corporations owning Mexican property, were unset- tled and potent with misunderstanding. Linked with the controversy was the Calve clause, on which the Mexican gov- ernment based its concessions. Briefly, this clause as to property obliged the owner to be regarded as a Mexican citizen and to undertake at no time to make the property or any action taken n{ the Mexican government the subject diplomatic representations. An ap- peal for diplomatic assistance was in some cases penalized with forfeiture of the property. Behind ail this were the fundamental distrust and irritation on both sides of the border. Morrow Reaches Agreement. What Ambassador Morrow has done Mexico since his appointment by ident Coolidge through Secretary Kellogg is familiar to the average Ameri- can newspaper reader—except that the United States Government has reached agreements with Mexico over the oil controversy sufficiently satisfactory so that 956 per cent of the oil production in Mexico today is under new laws and niulnlons Because of the power and uence oil companies have in the United States, the readjustment of that difficulty is an outstanding achievement of Secretary Kellogg's term in office. But more important than all is the fact that Aml r Morrow has the mistrust which has so long existed between this countty and Mexico. He is returning to Mexico to continue the work, an assignment which is perhaps as important as that of Secretary of State. Good will and relations with Latin America, which are better today than in a score of years, in the opinion of some, start in Mexico. The State Department on March 27, almost & year ago, published the fol- lowing significant statement: The mroleum regulations just promulgal by President Calles con- stitute executive action which com- pletes the process beginning with the decision made by the judicial branch of the Mexican government on No- yember 17, 1027, and followed by the enactment of the new petroleum law Hx thn legislative branch on December ther these steps volun- Toge! g uruy ukcn by the Mexican govern- ment would appear to bring to & prac- tical conclusion the discussions which began_10 years with reference to the effect of the Mexican constitution And laws upon foreign oil wmmnm e department feels, as udo Morrow, that mch qum.hm, “ any, as may hereafter arise can be set- tled through the due operation of the Mexican _administrative departments is | and the Mexican courts. = h ey e e o indefinite and unfinished corre- spondence when he took office. The Tacna-Arica Problem. ‘Tacna-Arica was another of Mr, Kel- 's “inheritances.” Ohile and Peru never ettled their differences over rritory since 1833. In 1922 they asked the President of the United States to arbitrate and he agreed. Gen. Pershing made his visit to Arica as chairman of a plebiscitary commis< sion, bnt the plehhclu never mate- tialized and Gen.

On November 30, 1926, Mr. Kellogg sent a memorandum to the interested countries lufnn.lnl that Chile volun- uruy cede its rights and interests in the disputed territory to Bolivia subject to certain guarantees. Bolivia mfmy agreed to recelve the territory, but Peru declined. Not encouraged at this failure, the Becretary of State set about bringing Chile and Peru to resume diplomatic relations, broken about 1870. Perhaps to his great surprise, this succeeded. Ambassadors were exchanged between the two countries, and the Chilean and Peruvian Ambassadors in Wi ashington came to the State Department, greeted e each other warmly and asked Secretary Kellogg to come outside and have his picture taken with them. It was agreed that the two govern- ments cquld work out their differences in amity and friendship. Secretary Kellogg posed for photo- graphs with the two envoys and then quietly excused himself, Here real ne- gotiations for the settlement of the 'x‘:cns-Arlc- dispute began. final settlement is in prospect, roblbl before March 4, it is learned n Washington. Perhnps the American point of view is better understood today in Europe than at any time since the World War by virtue of the State Department’s de- cision, under Secretary Kellogg, to pare ticipate in the League of Nations’ pre- liminary arms limitation conference at Geneva. ‘Though nothing has been accom- plished at Geneva through willingness of this Government to #it with other gowers there, an advance is seen in act that the United States has co- rated and placed before the world e position of this Nation regarding its desire to limit arms, not only upon the seas in particular but on land and in the alr, if other powers agree in equitable proportion. Limitations Basis Sought.

The United States re for the first time enters into dis- cussions with Europe on general eco- nomic problems. Again the United States has tributed in the work of settling the reparations problem, working out of the Dawes plan in 1924 and now by send- ing financial experts, J. P. Morgan and Owen D. Young, in an attempt to bring about the final adjustment of”repara- tions with the experts' of interested nations, The State Department has not stood in” the way of prodigious amounts of American money loaned for European reconstruction. American banks cons sult the department as to each pro- posed loan. A libéral policy has been pursued tending to increase the Ameri- can flmnchl interest in Europe to & great degree. Few Secretaries of State have equaled Mr. Kellogg's record in making of trea~ ties of conciliation and arbitration. Soon after entering office in 1925 he discovered that the commissions undef con- the Bryan conciliation treaties had nu- STAR, WASHINGTON, He lmmnhmly nuefl uun He then negotiations for conclilation treaties with all the nations not yet so co- operating with the United States. He improved upon and widened the scope of the old Root treaties where these existed. Conciliation Treaties Signed. At the Pan-American Conference in Washington during December and Jan- uary, 1928-29, Mr. Kellogg signed con- cliliation treaties with all the Latin American nations except Argentina, which was not represented at the con- ference. ‘There were also arbitration treaties with each of these nations and rotocol for ’grotmmva arbitration. nder Mr. Kellogg arbitration trea- tles have been offered to 33 nations other than those of Latin Ameria. Pifteen of these have signed.
