of the Richmond Chamber OF Commerce
for promoting trade with the Latin
Americans. for it IL believed that the
opportunity now offered 20 develop
important commercial Citations with
these wealthy countries is AN unpre
ceslc one.
Hundreds of South American mar
kets have been cut OFF from their custo-
mary sources Of supply with tho coun-
tries now engaged in the gigantic
European war, and as a result a vast
area Of territory has been opened TO
American enterprise.
by many influential business men and
manufacturers the movement which has
been launched in an effort 10 increase
business and improve trade relations of
this country with Latin American mar
kets is regarded as an undertaking OF
American manufacturers and producers
when they look toward the great agri-
cultural countries of South America
for new fields of trade. Little manu-
featuring is being done in South
America, and consequently the people
there are largely dependent upon the
more developed countries for practi-
cally all,,manufactured articles.
Those familiar with trade conditions
predict that once wcll-csta blished, the
American trade in South America will
become permanent. and that as result
of this increase in business for pro-
ducers and manufacturers of this
prosperous here, and manufacturing en-
terprscs Will be obliged to en-
large their equipment ana lcngthen
