THAT SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

When the war began, the big cry in
the United States was to grab the
South American trade, reluctantly re-
linquished by the belligerent Euro
peans. To how great an extent has
the United States taken advantage Of
this seemingly golden opportunity
Not very considerably.
In the first place, both the United
States and South America are pro-
ducers, not manufacturers Europe
has taken care of the manufacturing
heretofore. In order for the North
Americans to handle the South Amer
ican trade, the United States must
turn from producing to manufactur-
ing, handling the raw material of the
South American shippers. &.
And then when the war is over
Europe will take that trade right back
again, having always the advantage
of cheaper labor over the United
States. And the manufacturers of
the United States will be left with a
vast over-equipment, holding the
sack, so to speak.
Is it any wonder that the United
States is not falling all over itself to
snatch the opportunity? Foresight is
likely to save a lot of money.

Take the word "jitney." Few Of us
knew it, save as a slang term for
ready small cash, usually a nickel,
five cents. We used it seldom, deem
ing it beneath our notice
And now a motor-car bus service is
installed in several cities, to COM
pete with the stree-cars. What do
they call this innovation? The
"jitney" service. Everybody uses the
term. Our best speakers adopt it..
The quotation marks drop from the
word. The dictionaries record it
for dictionaries are records of our
language, not authorities by which
it is nodded.
Thus We have the jitney service, a
new term born into our vocabularies.
Other terms have died. This birth,
this death, this motion, this change.

are evidences of life in our common

l am greatly puzzled. 1t is not with
out excuse, however, that I plead ig-

of my deepest thinking friends and

he had not rather have had the small

reason for needless suffering and es-
pecially needless suffering at exam
times.
Notice that l reflect on needless
suffering" You wonder why 1 am
so sure that this is the right term.

know is just how, when and where it
was decided that vaccination is not
needless suffering.

ernment of a democratic state, if
there is any democracy about it, or
if it in any way resembles a govern
