do nothing without pleading with the hand of iron and gold of the United States. When they tired of Zelaya, they took him from power and then, capriciously put in as president of the Republic the candidate that most suited them.
Today, they have made President of that state señor Solórzano and the official North American sources stąte, according to the latest cables, that he is considered by the United States as a pledge of the Central American union, Recently the United States wished to reconstitute the Confederation of which Mora zán dreamed; but not without interested ends.
when those people, by their own initiative, prepared themselves to put this into effect, they imposed upon Nicaragua a Treaty for the construction of a new interoceanic canal, that infringee upon the rights of a ne ghboring country, and that would have subjected the projected Confederation to a humiliating protection which at least Costa Rica and Salvador have always refused to accept. Instead of a protectorate over Nicaragua, it wished to implant a mother over all Central American territory. And naturally these North American projects of union have fallen through up to the present time.
It is useless to hope for united action by the Latin American peoples in these regions that are of our blood to save themselves from the Yankee claw. Like the Greeks, in the best days of the ir history, we are distinguished by disunion and it appears that we wish to wait with our arms folded for the men of the North to deyour us.
The worst symptom in this matter is the praise that the United States makes of the influence that the new President of Nicaragua will have in the Central American union.
It w211 be a union that Wall Street only will benefit by, as a certain Assembly of the Greek people was beneficial to Macedonia alone.
