PERI rs PART m "DYNAMICS OF THE WESTERN WORlD'

In n recent message to Congress the
President, who is a business man, gave
an Illuminating review of Peruvian
finances during the last forty years. II
is wonderfully interesting chapter of
national wealth dssipated and of ma
tional disaster and the measures which
were not always effective to rescue the
country from the results Of a ruinous war
I'm which Peru lost valuable territory.
In his message the President says that
during the exploitation of the guano beds,
from 1911 to 1879, 100000 tons were ex-
portcd. The profit which Peru received
from them was siO0O0O,OOO. but that sub
stantlally all this enormous sum was
wasted. The railways constructed by
Henry Meiggs were built with borrowed
money, the country having added TO its
national debt for that purpose. Every
body does not agree with the President
that the guano receipts were wasted, yet
II is true that Peru received little perma-
nent good from the guano beds.
The President in his message sets forth
in detail the purposes to which the pro-
ceeds of the proposed foreign loan are TO
be applied. He does not include the inn
provement of the Port of Callao because,
until the surveys of the engineers are
completed, there is no means of telling
how much money will be required. More
over any appropriation for this purpose
would not be included in the budget for
the current year, but if Peru gets the
loan, and applies ii as wisely as the Ex-
ecutive outlines the country will lie in a
much better position to obtain the tinan-
cial resources which will be required for
the Callao improvement.
In urging retrenchment i'm the national
expenses the President points out the
various things which must be done i'm
order that Peru's part in "the dynamics
of the American world" may be properly
fulhlleds From this it is understood that
he does not intend that the country shall
remain stationary. BY some it is also
inferred that he has in mind the existing
political relations of Peru with other
South American countries, and in partic-
ular with Chill. This means the effort
to settle the long-standng Tacna-Arica
dispute That subject will be treated in
a separate letter.

lation until the waterway has been In
operation for a. year or two.
Some of the Peruvian statisticians see
great possibilities for Callao as dis
tributing centre. and are advocating max
ing it free port. The prospects Of a
South American customs union which
would safeguard South American com
mcrce from the competition with Europe
and the United States, are also discussed
but more as an abstract suggestion than
as a concrete proposition.
The possibility that the Peruvian ports,
and Callao in particular, may become
distributing centres for markets on the
Pacific Coast has been taken into account
by the Peruvian government. A decree
issued some months ago provided that
merchandise declared for Paita, Callao
or Mollendo. and reshipment to other
countries, should be legalized without
charge by Peruvian consular officers.

II was also provided that on merchan-
disc deposited in custom houses OF the
ports named re-exported to foreign coun-
tries but not originally declared for re-
export. owners shall have the right TO a
refund OF the amount paid consular Of
ficers as fees for legislation Of invoices.

charge for the storage OF goods re-eX-
ported to foreign countries, the rate
being fixed at one-ha!f of one per cent
This was a practical measure for utiliZ-
ing the advantageous geographical posi-
ton of Peru i'm relation to neighborinS
South American countries. The opportu-
nifty for re-exportation to Australia and
China and Japan was also in mind.

THE COUNTRY FOR CHILDREN

II may be true that he travels furthest
who travels alone. but the goal thus
reached is not worth reaching. And as
for a life deliberately devoted to pleasure
as an end, why. the greatest happiness IS
the happiness that comes as a by-product
of striving to do what must be done. even
though sorrow is met in the doing. There
is bit OF homely philosophy quoted by
Squire Rlll Widener. of Widener's Valley
Va. which sums up ones duty in life:
'Do what you can, with what you've got
where you are"
The country is the place for children,
and if not the country, city small

BOOKS AND BOOK LISTS.

The room for choice is so limitless that.
70 my mind. it seems absurd TO try 10
make catalogues which shall be supposed
TO appeal TO all the best thinkers This
is why l have no sympathy whatever with
writing lists Of the One Hundred Best
Books or the Five-Foot Library. II is all
right for a man TO amuse himself by
composing list of a hundred very good
books, and II he is 10 go off for year
or so where he cannot get many books
II is an excellent thing to choose a five-
foot library of particular books which In
that particular year and on that particu-
lar trip he would like TO read. But there
is no such thing as hundred books that
are best for all men, or for the majority
Of men. or for one man at all times; and
there is no such thing as a five-foot IL
brary which will satisfy the needs OF even
one particular man on different occasions
extending over number of years. Mil
ton is best for one mood and Pope Tor
another. Because a man likes Whitman
or Browning or Lowell he should not
feel himself debarred from Tennyson or
Kipling or K0rner or Heine or the Bard
Of the Dmbovtza. Tolstoy's novels are
good at one time and those of SienkieWicz
at another; and he is fortunate who can
relish Salammbo and Tom Brown and
the Two Admirals and Quentin Durward
and Artemus Ward and the Ingoldsby
Legends and Pickwick and Vanity Fair.
Why, there are hundreds Of books Ike

PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT.

The first step in the project has been
taken by employing competent engineers
10 make the necessary technical studies.
Jacob Kraus. of Holland. who planned
the Valparaiso harbor works, which the
Chlian government, after many years
delay, has at last undertaken. has been
engaged 10 supervise the work. His as
sistants, who are engineers OF reputation
and experience. are now in Callao and
are making the preliminary studies. II
is not possible as yet TO formulate the
plans or TO make an estimate of the cost.
In the minds of some of the Callao ship
ping firms the opinion obtains that when
the estimates are given the cost will
prove too great and the project viii be
dropped This does not necessarily fol-
low, for the expenditure would be spread
over several years, and part of the money
might be obtained later by loan.
President Billinghurst, who has consid-
cradle influence with his own admnistra-
ton. Is understood to look with favor on
the San Lorenzo plan. A representative

the Presidents mind in this direction. The

not do this II the present harbor facili-
ties were not expanded. The suggestion
of the breakwater between La Punta and
