TRADE AND THE CANAL.
Dir. Root on Development of Com
naerce 1cith South america.

Cincinnati, Nov. 23.-Increased commerce with
the countries Of South America and moral sup
port of Panama Canal construction work were
advocated by Secretary Root tonight in his
address at the twenty-sixth annual dinner Of
the Cincinnati Commercial Club. Besides Mr.
Root the club had as guests Ministers Ignacio
CaIderon. Of Bolivia, and Enrique Cortez. Of
Colombia, and Albert Yoacham, Charge DAT
faires Of Chilli
Secretary Root was introduced by Edward
Goeppher president of the Commercial Club He
began his speech with word OF greeting from
"one Of the biggest and one Of the best all round
men in the world. Secretary Taft"
Mr. Root said Americans were generally little
interested in diplomatic relations, caring mora
for those things before their eyes which affected
their business Markets. sources OF supplies
and other such matters were the business OF
those in charge Of public affairs. but it was un-
usual for them 10 talk about it. He said that
lust now he was interested particularly in the
development Of the nations 10 the south. which
would do much for the commercial interests OF
the United States There never was a tJe
when producers were more ready TO reach out
for trade and he believed much could be had
from the Latin republics We know the possi-
bIties and difficulties OF trade with Europe
and with the Orient, but few people realized
how serious was the present agitation of the
.Japanese on the Pacific Coast. II It continued. he
feared that trade on the coast would be seriously
injured
Canada was following the course or the United
States In building up infant industries, but TO
the south there was opening field that was al
most limitless. The ignorance here OF that great
continent was lamentable. He recounted the
great wealth and prospects Of South America
declaring that those republics had been passing
through political stages which had now brought
TO them stable governments and free lnst1su-
tions
Speaking OF the Panama Canal and Gulf trade
Mr.. Root urged the carrying out OF the project
of A united commercial club journey 10 the
isthrlus which had been suggested by the Gin
ctnnati club to clubs in number OF other cities
He said Chief Engineer Stevens and his sup
porters had been doing a magnificent work for
the love 0f II, Notwithstanding constant Vtlin-
cation and such trip would be the means OF
settling many disputes over the actual cond1-
tions there.
We would he said, have the canal built in
side Of ten years, and then the route from New
work Norfolk Savannah. Charleston. Mobile
New Orleans through the canal and UP the coast
N San Francisco would become the coaStlne OF
the United States. Currents or trade already
tended southwark. and direct communication
with all South America would follow the COM
pletion OF the canal.
.'No one Is so interested in this development
as Won are in the valleys OF the Ohio ana the
NTississfpni' he added He then dweIt on the
needs OF shipping for The South American trade.

Vanderbilt replied:
Moore shows ponies: don't. He comes down

as though il was a good joke he was about 10

She is not quite ready I have had her only

Mr.. Vanderbilt was then asked regarding his
views on the proposed international horse show;
II think well OF the proposition. and shall
