North and South America.

The Pan-American Financial congress, now
in session at Washington, is one Of a series Of
conferences that have been held during the last
three decades, looking to the establishment OF
closer and better business relations between the
countries OF the two continents. The purpose
OF these gatherings is good, and the conferences
ought to be productive OF beneficial results, but
they cap only be fruitful when properly fol-
lowed up.
The greatest obstacle to closer relations
between North and South America has been the
fact that TO great extent the countries are all
engaged in the same trade. that OF selling to the
world products Of farms and ranges This has
prevented a very general interchange Of commo-
dties between them The United States has
been good customer Of South America, but has
not been able to sell much there, practically
nothing in proportion to what the trade ought
to be, II established on a reciprocal basis. In
large measure this is due to the lack Of such
fiscal arrangements as would properly accom-
modate the possible commerce.
South America like the United States, has
been an extensive borrower in recent years, the
industrial development of the several countries
down there, calling for the investment OF large
sums Of money. These loans have generally
been made in Europe. which has furnished most
OF the capital for the extension and carrying on
of South American enterprise. England and Ger
many being the heaviest investors. Now that
the European financiers are no longer able to
furnish the continuing supply OF capital needed
there, the South American field is opening to
the United States.
II we can find the surplus capital needed,
and really have two to three billions Of money
available for the purpose OF expanding loans, the
relations between the countries Of South Amer
lea and the United States easily be made
closer. II is not a question OF sentiment, but
Of dollars and cents. II the fiscal factor can be
properly developed, It will bind together in closer
communion the peoples OF the New World, and
lead TO the fulfillment Of dream of many an
ambitious statesman.

such is the case who is to blame but the
laboring man for not being on the alert?
However, It IL a notorious fact that ever

I most earnestly appeal to the old

OF 1894 and 1904 TO do their duty as in
days of yore, thereby making It possible
TO get rid OF the servile tools of the cor

Memorial DAY.


SOUTH OMAHA, May c5.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: 1t is strange TO me that
when the thirtieth day of May falls on
Sunday that the Memorial day cere-
monies are not carried out on that day.
l feel that Governor Morehead made
mistake in calling it a holiday. 1t Is a
day set aside as a memorial to the heroic
men who battled for the life OF this great
republic when II was assaulted at the
hands of traitors and who saved its life
through deeds OF valor performed on
many a battlefield.
The day set aside to their memory By
General John A. Logan should be called
as It was meant to be from the first, q
memorial day instead Of a holiday When
was a small boy just after the close Of
the war. one time the thirtieth day OF
May fell on Sunday and the memorial
ceremonies were carried out on that day
and we're attended by countless numbers
OF people. Many of the greatest battles
OF history have been fought on Sunday,
including many that have been fought
by the troops OF this country and
should think 1t would be in keeping with
the meaning OF the day to decorate the
graves OF the soldier dead on the day
set aside for that purpose. whether IL
occurs on Sunday or any other day OF
the week.
II is different from Sundays when
Christmas. New Years and the Fourth
of July occur. for those days are holt
days In the true sense OF the word. but
a day dedicated 10 the memory OF the
heroes of the republic cannot be and
should not be considered a holiday. NV
hope is that this will be considered by
those In power and that when another
Memorial day occurs on Sunday, that
the memorial ceremonies will be held on
that day and that no governor will ever
again refer to the most sacred day in
the life OF this republic as holiday. for
II tends to cheaper the day in the eyes
of those who do not know personally OF
the sacrifices and sufferings of the dead
defenders Of the life Of this republic.

The plan is to supply each, boz
