GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR TRADE EXPAN-
SION

An Associated Press telegram from New York
conveys the news that there is an unprecedented
demand for American goods of all kinds through
out Latin. America, one prominent merchant de-
the south American trade could only carry one
tenth of the tonnage necessary to supply the de.
mand. This condition is due naturally to the
breaking off of commercial relations with Euro
pean countries which have, in the past, enjoyed
an almost complete monopoly of Central and South
American trade
Central and South America and the West In
dies are. logically, United States trade territory
and this country has not been able to control the
business because of unfamarity with trade con.
ditions and unwlngness to extend the credit de
manded. Credits throughout this territory range
anywhere from three to nine months and in some
instances even longer time is demanded. Goods OF
all kinds destined for Central and South Amer
lean ports must be especially packed to conform
to the ideas of tie buyers relative to handling.

facturers and under existing conditions this trade

per attention to the needs and wishes Of the var-
Gus countries there is no reason to believe that
Europe can wrest it away when conditions have

preston of beauty; code of rules for creation Of
t he useful made beautiful The main pride of this
city is its reputation for beauty. The beauty of
the architecture here arises from the forward spir
