New orleans and It's Exposition.

Richard Nixon, the secretary of the
past and coming Exposition in New
Orleans, thus classes an Open Letter ia
the November Century: ''lt is fitting
that New Orleans should De the pro-
moter of this international enterprise
for the additional reason that it was
through the Worlds Exposition that
the general public became aware of the
great resources Of Mexico and Central
America, and the advantages newt
ably to follow a close commercial
reciprocity. Every one had of course
read the tales of travellers and had
learned to speak of the wondrous
wealth OF Mexican mines and South
American forests in much the same
way as they spoke of the magnifcence
Of oriental princes, vaguely and some
what incredulously. But the World S
Exposition gave unmistakable evil
dence of these and many other extra
ordinary natural resources. Indeed, it
was the immediate success of Mexico's
exhibit that has stimulated the other
Latin-American countries to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities presented
by the new enterprise
THE management of the American
Exposition is national in its organize
ton and is working for the prosperity
of the entire country. 1t purchased
the plant of the late Worlds EXPOSE
ton, and will open its doors on the
10th of November, unembarrassed in
any way whatever. With steam trans
portatiOn from the heart of the city to
the exposition grounds, and with I'M
precedently low railroad rates. there is
veery assurance of success The man.
agement has set aside for the discus
sion of the great commercial problem
certain days, when leading minds Of
the three Americas will meet for an
interchange of ideas. and give to the
industrial life of this country an inn
petus as irresistible as the mighty river
upon whose banks they deliberate.
