NEED Of BETTER

Millions Annually to Foreign
Money Centers.

Washington. Dec. 3i.-The Hon John !
Barrett director general Of the PAN
American Union. has written the following |
article ON the need of a better banking +
sy tem to promote our foreign trade:
The United States is at a crucial period |
of it's trade exchange with the twenty |
r"lul lies Of Latin America. and especially |
with that section Of Latin America com
ptchcudod under the head of South |
America
The opportunities for the extension NJ
both the export and import trade OF the
United states in these southern countries
are greater In proportion to the present
size of The trade and in proportion to the
population of the countries concerned than
they are in any other part of the world.
There IL no group of countries and peo-
p.cs which. proportionately, will require
more of o,r manufactured products or can
furnish to Il greater degree the raw
products which we need both for our in
dustries and our food supplies.
The approaching completion OF the
Iarqma canal accentuates the critical
condition which 1T is the point of this dis
cussion TO bring out. In looking over
all Of the influences which are already
building up our trade. and in considering.

the Injustice or dlscOurtesy of

1t will be seen, by adding the

still no candidate received ma o.

1t is time for the Democrats OF
Tennessee to bury all differences
and get together. AS result of
the split that State elected Re-
publican Governor. The death
of Senator Bob Taylor made it
necessary for his successor to be
appointed by the Governor, and
he named Newell Sanders, a
Republican, of Chattanooga. To
us it seems that Governor Hoop
er would have done the proper
thing if he had appointed Hon.
Alf Taylor, who is a Republican
and brother to the deceased
Senator.

Helm sending his private secre-

act in conjunction with the pri-
vate secretary of Caleb Powers,
after he, on one occasion, had re-
fused to speak to Caleb? Did
he say in this interview he was
proud and glad that Casey and
Adair had come into this dis
trict? No. He said instead:
but Casey and Adair are great
little commonwealth themselves.
Just say for me that | hope they
will like me as we'll as | like
them" Oh, how lovely of him
to so express himself in words
of everlasting praise. He didn't
mind sending to Caleb them, be-
cause Caleb had the names prob
ably of the democrats on his
mailing list, as we'll as the re-
publicans; but Caleb was dear"
to his heart on this occasion,

We welcomed the good counties
of Casey and Adair to come into

it, and We believe firmly those
