Our opportunity to establish greatly
expanded trade relations with the Latin
American countries to the south of US
Is conceded to be excellent, but it is
an opportunity that requires active and
intelligent effort for it's development
Never before has there been such an
inviting opening for the building up of
business enterprises in that quarter on
a permanent basis. For a time the
competition that has won a great many
of the prizes which we have felt be-
longed to US will be in a state of prac-
tical paralysis. After this CONFUSION
has subsidized and there has been time
to emerge from the industrial democrat
ization which has already become so
serious among our rivals, this COMPETE
ton will revive. but by that time we
should have acquired footing which
to great extent can be maintained.
