American Trade.

Kansas City, Nov. 21.=Elihu Root,
secretary of state, announced last night
for the first time since his tour Of
South America his views on trade con-
ditions in that continent. In his speech
at the meeting of the Transmississippi
congress in Convention hall he told in
detail the results of his Investigate
as to the resources and opportunities
of the Latin-Am erican republics, de-
ploring the fact that facilities for trade
between the two continents were Inea-
ger and that commercial relations had
waned He urged the delegates to
work for the passage of the subsidy
ship bill, which he said was the only
remedy for the existing trade condi-
tions between the South American re-

which a merchant marine could be
placed on the high seas to compete
with foreign lines.

tion and that the only matter to which
he can pay heed is the presenta ton cf
facts showing the official reports to be
in whole or in part untrue, or clearly
exculpating some Individual If any
such facts later appear he can act as
he deems advisa BILE, but thus far moth
ing has been introduced to warrant tie
suspension Of the order and he directs
that it be executed
Secretary Taft says that immediate
steps viii be taken to recruit colcred
