there reaches directly south from Pana-
ma to Patagonia Pacific Coast line of
five thousand miles. in the very in
fancy of its development, blessed with
a marvellous variety of resources and
climate, and one which, though com
paratively isolated, is already conduct
ing a foreign trade valued at three
hundred millions of dollars (s300,0O0,-
000) per annum. In other words, the
Ave republics of Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru, Bolivia and Chile, practically de-
bouching on the Pacific, bought and
sold in one year products equal in
value to two-thirds of the entire cost
of the canal If trade of such vol
ume can be maintained without the
canal, 1T is difficult to predict safely
its valuation a few years after the
canal is completed.
Northwest from Panama is the Pa
cifc Coast line of Central America and
Mexico, with a reach of nearly three
thousand miles, which will be put into
direct and intimate touch with the
South when the canal is opened. This
coast line from Panama to San Diego
now carries on foreign trade valued
at approximately one hundred millions
of dollars ($100,0 100000; it is hard to
prophesy what total this will become
few years after the isthmian water
way is done.
Directly en- route from the Atlantic
Coast to the canal are Cuba, the Domin-
lean Republic, Hayti, and Porto Rico,
with an annual foreign trade valued at
nearly two hundred and fifty million
dollars ($250,000, 000).
Speaking of all Latin America and
what it offers to the South and Central
West, [ would have every chamber of
commerce or board of trade from the
Roanoke to the Rio Grande and from
the Potomac to the Platte organize com
mittees or subordinate clubs to awaken
interest in everything pertaining to
Latin America, its history and develop
ments, it's commerce and industries, its
| peoples, institutions and government,
and then to study methods of building
up exchange of trade with all parts of
our sister republics and of taking ad-
vantage in a practical way of the great

Extracts from Address of John Bar
rett. the Director of the Interna-
tional Bureau of American Repub-
lies. before the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, Monday Afternoon,
December 6. 1909, at the New VIII
lard Hotel, Washington, D. C. a
It is of the highest Importance not
only to the South but to the whole coun-
try that we should begin to get ready
for the Panama Canal. We are now
actually confronted with serious dan
ger to our commerce and our prestige
abroad-namely, that we shall complete
the canal only to find that other coun-
tries will gain greater practical benefits
from it than will the United States.
The one great thing, therefore, that
our people and our congress now should
do is to study and set in motion such
activities and policies as viii place The
entire land in readiness to enjoy, and
profit from, the new routes and facili-
ties provided by the canal. 1t will be
almost criminal lack of foresight to
spend four hundred millions of dollars
($400,00O, 00O) digging this waterway
and then awaken at its completion to
find that we are not in a position to
utilize fully its much discussed advan-
tages.
There are twenty-one States of the
Union bordering on the high seas and
having ports from which vessels ought
to steam through the Panama Canal,
and yet hardly one of them realizes the
opportunities which the canal offers,
with its completion only five years dis
tant. There should be started a slogan
"Get ready for the canal" which
would be heard all along the gulf, At
lantie and Pacific coasts and inaugu-
rate a national movement to prepare
for it in a way that will be effective
and practical. Every city and CONNER
cial center having any interest in for
eign commerce should acquaint itself
with actual trade conditions in the
parts of the world to be reached by
the canal.
Every section of the country-espe
cially the South and Central West
should famlllarlZe itself, for instance
with the great West or Pacific coast;
of South and Central America and the
possible wants and resources thereof
Conditions of demand and supply, ca
pacity to sell what is desired or pur
chase what is for sale, starting of new
industries, conservation of resources
Improvement of coast harbors and in
terrier waterways, betterment of steam
ship facilities, the sending of qualified
agents abroad, study of the Spanish
language, travel among these hereto
fore distant but future close neighbers
and acquaintance with their social an6
racial characteristics-all have a diree1
and important bearing on "getting

Now is it not the part of wisdom

FIR[MFN REPORT
IN DRUNKEN STATE
Two Members of Oakland De-
partment Disciplined by Com-
missiOners for Misconduct

OAKLAND, May 22.-The board of
police and fire commissioners suspended
John Fitzsimmons and George Akers
from service in the fire department this
morning until July l. after hearing
charges brought by Chief Ball. Fitz-
ard of chemical company l. When the
parsonage of the Norwegian Lutheran
church at S23 Athers avenue was
burned several days ago, the two fire
fighters reached the scene so intoxi-
Gated that Chief Ball elected them from
the lines
Then he filed charges which were
heard this morning Akers probably
will be heard again July l, when
further disposition of his case VIII be
made. ITitzsimmons has served for
many years in the department, and as
he would have been eligible to retire
ment on pension if not accused of
misconduct. the commission probably
will allow him TO resign July / and
viii not deprive him of his pension
privilege. The lenity is shown because
of his long service.
Fitzsimmons was once prominent as a
democratic politician, having been dep
uty sheriff and chief jailer under Sher-
if Charles McCleverty, and an employe
OF the United States mint at San Fran
cisco when Israel Lawton was superin-
tendent
Frank Cummings was appointed to
the eligible list of the fire department.
A. G. Wilson and NJ. Enoksen, special
policemen, resigned, the reason being
that the merchants on their beats did
not make their appointments remunera-
tive enough
