for our people to let such chance
pass them by?
The approaches which the South
American diplomats are making to the
state Department and the Pan-Amer-
lean Union have indeed been antici-
rated by action in shipping AMI ex-
port interests here. The newspapers
within n day or two announced that
numerous houses were sending drum

ports by the earliest steamers. Yes
tcrday the agents Of the important

could be settled. Bankers have been
discussing new systems Of credit to
finance the new volume Of business ON
all sides appreciation OF the crisis
promises an effective meeting Of the
South American appeal assurcdly with
high mutual advantage.
One project that gains an unex.
pected timellness Is that of the Navy
Department for running fast mail, pas
senger and express lines and establish.
ing freight service from United
States to South American ports. espe-
cially via the Panama Canal. As
worked out in detail and embodied in
the bill now before the House Of Rep
resentatlves. the plan will permit Of a
beginning along this line with small or
no impairment Of naval efficiency. An
experiment can be made with Ave fnst
cruisers for mail and express trans
portation and ten auxiliary vessels Of
the navy capable Of carrying consider
able ladlngs of freight.
II is proposed to carry on the service
largely with officers on the retired list,
while extra men are TO be enlisted.
As the service develops vessels fully
adapted for It may be built or bought
and thus become valuable auxiliary
feet in time of need. Whatever the
ultimate economic or military defects
of the srheme may be, II at least meets
temporary need. our great lack In
developing the new field that Provl-
dence has opened TO ia Is the scanti-
ness OF available shipping. and the
naval proposition helps solve this diff.
ficulty until private enterprise and

keen intelligence skilled in making
