EDITOR HERALD: OF course you
know that Guatemala is going to
have a Worlds Fair. Think of a
Worlds Fair within fifteen de-
grees of the equator, mile up
among the clouds, and on the Pa
cIfic coast. It Is something new,
very much under the sun, decided
l. y toward the sun, interesting to
all the world, most especially.so to
Pacific Coasters, particularly 80 to
Southern California, the stronghold
Of American husbandry, nearest 20
Guatemala.
Preparations for the Central
American Worlds Fair have been
systematically inaugurated.
6efior Casanova is now in San
Francisco with instructions from
President BsrrIos to organizes o
comprehensive movement for an
elaborate Pacific Coast display Of
exhibits. Senior Casanova IL to be
reinforced by an American resi-
dent OF Guatemala, coming TO San
Francisco under a com mission of
President Barrios. Let Southern
California make display Mt Guate-
mala.
NEW DEPARTURE SHOULD RE-
QDnNn DA u
The 1880 new departure Of South.
ern California should promptly re-
spond to the new departure pervad.
ing the Republic of Guatemala,
the greatest of Central American
Republics, whose new career, now
fairly begun, is to become more
and more in strange and glorious
contrast with all other inter-trop.
ical commonwealth of the past, a
salutary example for every other
Spanish-Amerlcan commonwealth.
We should develop close relations
with Guatemala.
New departure Is not strictly
new In Guatemala. But its ac-
celebrating momentum, each suc-
ceeding year, SO far eclipses the
last, that the casual observer, espe.
cialIy at our distance, is apt to re-
peat from year to year, swell, true
1t is, and l rejoice that our sister
Republic, Guatemala, ia starting
out brilliantly"
NEW ARTILLERY.
Great guns have annually BOOM
ed across the Rockies, filling the
East with reverberations. These
have been immigration guns. The
small din of commercial popgups
has been the incidental soto voce.
Of late years the commercial wills.
per has made u louder echo than
the immigration thunder.
The demand of the hour is not to
spike an immigration gun; not to
silence the busy, beneficial com.
mercial popCuns, but to mount
new commercial artillery; great
guns commercial, arousing in sea-
ter and robust base; all in unison
with immigration tenor, and
merging the superfamous single
key into full octave of stirring
breve, irresistible diastole, and all
controlling diapasOn.
As the travelling Citrus Fair is to
be largely in the interest of East
ern exchanges, SO, the suggested
display by Southern California ut
the Guatemala Worlds Fair would
be largely in the interest of South
ern exchanges.
Let there be whole parks OF this
new commercial artillery.
VIEWS FROM A BUSINESS STAND
POINT.
Jhe business man will readily
comprehend the situation. He
perceives that ours is the region of
stalwart industry nearest to Guat-
emala; that Guatemala is just bud
ding into a commerce of indie q mite
expansion; that the grooves int
which that infant commerce 10
trained will wear accommodating.
ly larger as that commerce grows,
aud may retain 1t more easily than
draw 1t out Of other grooves; that
display Of our products at the
Guatemala Universal will teach all
Central America, Mexico and por-
tions of South America, that it will
benefit them to come into business
relations with Southern Califor-
mia; that, for vast advertising at
diminhtive cost, in tho very re-
gion where vest advertising ought
to be done, the Guatemala Worlds
Fair is an opportunity than which
the most acute business sagacity
could not devise a better.
