SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE
British Commercial Agent Notes
Our Gains There.

The interest felt by the great manu-
featuring and exporting countries OF
the world in the growth of exports
from the United States and their in
| vaeion of new fields is illustrated by q
recent official report of the British
commercial agent at Chicago, in which
j he discusses the export trade Of the
United States for the last fiscal year.
A copy of this report has just reached
the treasury bureau of statistics at
Washington.
"The trade returns" says Mr.. L. Sey
mour Bell, the author of the report.
"shoW evidence of a considerable in
crease III export to Mexico, Central and
South America and the West Indies.
There are many indications that an at
tempt is about to be made to capture
the trade of South America. Shipping
facilities are being improved, though
slowly, and every effort is being made
to draw more closely the commercial
relations of the two American CONT
nents. Particular attention is being
paid to the needs of buyers, and the
conditions of trade are being closely
studied. Everything that can give sat
isfaction to buyers is being done. Close
attention is given to packing of goods,
and price lists are circulated il Span.
ish with, in many cases. prices quoted
in the current coin of the country per
100 kilos. The advantage of this to
the customers cannot be overestimat-
ed"
The report then quotes extracts from
leading newspapers in Chicago and
New York, in which the statistics Of
the export trade for the last fiscal year
are presented and especially those
showing the growth of exports to
South America and those showing the
establishment of new steamship lines
to operate along the Pacific coast of
North and South America and adds:
1.-THE states on the Pacific coast have
chiefly benefited by the increase Of
trade with South America. The new
steamships trading between the Pa
cific ports of South America and Pa
cific ports of the United States, due
perhaps to the new interests acquired
in the Pacific ocean, greatly facilitate
the trade between the two several
countries. The development of rail-
ways in Venezuela, Colombia and Ar
gentina, often with American capital,
has also greatly aided the expansion
In all probability this increase will con
tinue, especially if the plans of certain
American investors are carried out.
The whole of South America only takes
about per cent of the total exports of
the United States but they are in
creasing."

THE PRIZE MONEY.
Some Striking Figures Which
Will Doubtless Be Heard from
i'm the Halls of Congress.

The Washington Post publishes the
official figures of the prize and bounty
money paid to American naval officers
| who took part in the Spanish war.
| The statement includes both the San
tiago and the Manila campaign. The
| figures are striking. They will doubt.
/ less be heard fromin the halls of con-
gress.
1t appears that Rear Admiral Samp-
son has already drawn prize money
amounting to $25, 794. "A and expects
about S1O,O more when the Maria Te-
resa case is settled. The man to draw
the next largest amount is Capt. F. E.
Chadwick, who was in command of
SIMPSONS flagship, the New York. He
has been paid S14, 1929. 08,and expects to
get some $4,000 more out of the Maria
Teresa case. Neither Sampson nor
Chadwick had any part in the battle,
as is we'll known. They were ten
miles away when the Spanish ships
cane out of the harbor and were sunk.
The battleship Massac husetts was a
part of the blockading squadron, but
she was at Guantanamo taking coal
when the battle occurred. Her captain
and crew will not get cent. Thus
uhe same rule does not apply TO all alb
SenteeS.
In contrast with the handsome for
tune awarded to Sampson and his cap
tain, and already paid, stands the
mount paid to Rear Admiral Schley-
$14953. And at best, Schley can ex-
pect only about $4,000 more. This lat.
ter sum has not yet been awarded him,
though SIMPSONS awards have been
perfected and paid. The captain OF
the New York, who was not present
during the fight and who prevented
the sending of message of congratu-
iation to Schley, will receive $4,000
more than the commander who stood
on the Brooklyn'5 bridge while that
vessel bore the brunt of the enemy's
fire
Dewey's Manila campaign was ex-
ceptionally brilliant, yet Dewey got
only SO, $40 prize money for wiping out
the Spanish navy in the far east
Dewey and all his captains will not
receive as much as Sampson and Chad
Watson, the senior of both Sampson
and Schley, was division commander
during the Spanish war. He has re-
ceived as prize money $3.50; yet he
was in just as many fights as Sampson.
Capt. F. A, Cook was in command OF
Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn. Cook
was with Schley on the bridge when
the Spaniards We're destroyed. He mas
not yet received cent of prize mon
ey, though he may get little over
81, OO0-a mere patch on the sum given
to absentee Capt G adwick. Capt
Clark of the Oregon has not received
a cent. He may get about ST., 800 ut
was captains tighU,' according to
Secretary Long. but the actual, fight
ing captains have pot the least profit
out of it. They risked their lives, and
get the short end of the purse; those
who risked nothing get the long end.
The country is to be congratulated
that the bounty law has been repealed,
so that there cannot be another such
scandal.
