tons Of vital interest to all of them
The United States sent several dele

between this country and Patagonia
There we're doubts for a time as to
whether Chill and Peru would be rep

sruction in this case. but whatever
impediment was placed in the way OF
Pan.American harmony by that coun-
try has been removed. Even the yene-
zueian-C unpIeasantness will
not be allowed TO interfere with the
representation OF those countries at
the congress. All the countries OF
Central America are also represented
there.
Aside from the sentimental interest
which the United States has in the
gathering in the City Of Mexico, 1t
has direct financial concern in that
affair The foreign commerce Of this
country has been growing with great
rapidity in the past few years. but
very little Of this increase is with the
Latin-American nations. The exports
OF merchandise from the United States
in the past twelve months have
amounted to a little over sf.5GJ. 000.-
600. which represents a gain, of
course. such % was never made by
-apy ether country in the world There
has been an increase of so per cent

while the imports have grown only Is
per cent. ONLY a trifiing part of this

some of the countries of South Ameri-
ca trade has been virtually stationary
or shrinking In the past ten years
our imports from South America,

$4,000. 900. There has been an in
crease in our exports 20 South Ameri-
ca from $4,000. 600 in 1891 to $4,000,
goo in 1901. but the gain has been in
significant compared with what it
ought to have been.
Here is a trade field which the Unit

ton OF means to enlarge this coun-
try's commerce with Mexico Central
America and South America is one Of
the questions which the Pan-American
gathering viii bring TO the front In
some respects the United States has
advantages over Europe in the trade
with the Americas. For the countries
to the south OF Cape st. Rogue, Of
course. the distance to the chief ports
of Europe is somewhat shorter than

all the rest Of the independent coun-

United States has some advantage in
position. Notwithstanding all this,
however Germany and some of the
other countries on the other side of

mercial conquests in part Of Latin
America than the United States is do
