Commerce Not Small.

"As corollary to this proposition
it can be stated that the commerce of
the United States with Latin-America
is not small and it is not being driven
from the field by European competi-
ton, as often described by superficial
observers. While the trade of the
United States with these sister repub-
lies could, and would, be larger if our
exporters and importers in general
devoted the same attention to it as
they do to Canada, Europe and Asia,
it is gratifying and significant that
the exchange of trade between the
United States and the twenty Latin
American countries has doubled it.
self, or increased 100 per cent, in the
short period of the last ten years, and
now amounts to the annual and nota-
BILE total of $6OO,O0O,0OO. This is
larger than the sum total of commerce
which any European country, not even
excepting Great Britain or Germany,
conducts with Latin-America."
Mr.. Barrett claimed for the State
Department and the Bureau of Ameri-
can Republics the chief credit for this
great expansion of trade.
The address also contained a pleas
ant reference to President Diaz and
his administration of the affairs of
Mexico. Mr.. Barrett deprecating as
unfortunate much of the criticism
that has been aimed at Diaz and Mex
