RIVALS ~ SOUTH UFRTCA
Some interesting and not overfamiliar
phases of the subject Of international
rivalry in South American trade and
! finance are presented in THE London
Times" largely by way Of warning To
! Englishmen, but with some implied
criticism Of Americans as well one
Of them is the highly impressive fact
| that permanent investments of capital
| in South America are now paving 10 the
British public no less than $4,000 600
in yearly dividends As the average
rate of these dividends Is nearly > per
cent. il follows that British permanent
investments in those countries amount
to something like the gigantic sum Of
$1,000, 100000. I'm view of that. there
! is no exaggeration in regarding Great
Britain as very deeply-and legitimataly
interested in South American affairs.
and there is no cause for wondering NJ
the extent to which British influence is
potent i'm that continent. OF course, the
gain 10 South America. in enabling her
been very great. and as result all COM
mercia nations have enjoyed profit in
the increase of trade.
The common complaint. which has
much foundation. that Americans per
nit themselves 10 be outsiripped i'm the
South American markets 10y European
rivals. appears, according To "Tbc
Times 10 he losing force South
America has foreign trade of 81. 49,
100000 year. of which nearly $GOO.OOO.-
coo is with the United states. aud this
American share has more than doubled
within the last ten years. That certain
~ indicates gratifying expansion of
our trade in that direction, which, if
continued at the same ratio. should pres
emily give MS prcdominance in those
markets. Indeed, The Times" earnestly
warns British merchants that the United
States is gaining more rapidly than the
United Kingdom and that there is danger
OF the latter being outstripped and forced
into a subordinate place British ex-
ports 10 South America. il points ont.
may continue actually to increase and
yet he relatively falling behind, because
OF the much greater increase of rival
trade.
The most suggestive point raised.
however. is that there is a radical diff
ference between British and American
capitalists in South America. in that the
former are investors while the latter are
Spectators. The former, says The
Times have the good reputation of not
wanting their capital back so long as
they are getting good returns on it. and
OIL only actual capital and not IN
"watered' stock while the latter seem
TO aim to put as little capital in and
to take out as much profits as possible.
