DRAWING TRADE TO U. s.

News dispatches recently told Of
certain New York and Philadelphia
banks loaning s15,00O,O0O to Argen-
tina. Charles M. Pepper, former trade
adviser for the United States depart
ment of state. says that the sending
of such large sum to the republic in
South America has very significant
connection with the effort that is be-
ing made now by United States manu-
facturers to win South American trade
away from the warbusy nations of
Europe which have hitherto dominat-
ed the trade field in the south. Mr..
Pepper has contributed an article on
this subject to the special editorial
service appearing from day to day in
The Courier. 1t is on this page today.
Read it, it is worth while.

HoU "7TQde FOHOUS the LOQn"
BY CHARLES N. PEPPER.
Former Trade Adviser Y. S. Department. Of State.

There is greater significance in the
taking of the S15,OO0,OO0 loan of the
Argentine Republic by New York and
Philadelphia bankers than the mere
matter of financial transaction. 1t
opens the way to closer trade relations
Of most important character. Invest
meNts by our own people in South
America have not hitherto been large
enough to bring much return to the
United States in the way Of orders to
manufacturers. They have been too
sporadic, although mining investments
especially some recent ones-have
resulted in the buying Of machinery
and miscellaneous supplies in this
country. Our British and German riv-
ais may have something to teach us in
this respect.
AS pointed out by J. Selwin TAFT in
recent comment on the order of the
British treasury last week forbidding
capital issues outside of the empire,
'it is her readiness to raise quickly
vast sums Of money for foreign coun-
tries more than anything else which
has given England her international
commercial superiority, and no phrase
was ever truer than that trade follows
the loan"
no ~e r;f ie1, n
the Argentine Republic is that coup
ling pin may not be bought without the
London directors authorizing it, A
business principle is involved in buying
the coupling pin through London. 1t is
that when orders for supplies are to be
placed British mills shall have the ben
eft of British investment in foreign
countries. Upward of S750,000,0O0 of
British capital Is in Argentine railways
and the purchase of coupling pins and
Other articles which mount up into mil
lions is one form of 'insuring return on
the capital.
How the policy of making British
foreign investments pay, not only in
the dividends on bonds and stocks, but
in assuring dividends to iron and steel
mills in Great Britain, is shown by an
analysis of purchases of railway ma
terial. Argentine railways, in recent
year, bought bridge material to the
amount of 100000 and of this
amount the United Kingdom supplied
$775,O00. Purchases of locomotives
were fraction under $2,2OO,OO0 and of
this sum $1,s5O,00O was credited to
England. Passenger coaches amounted
to $1,000, 900, of which the United King
dom furnished nearly $1,100,000. In
freight cars the showing was not so
good, since these were bought to the
value of $3,800000, and the United
Kingdom only supplied $2,650,000. The
United States was in on this business
to more than 100000, but chiefly for
non-British lines. Under the general
classification of railway materials,
Great Britain supplied $4,15O,000 out
of $5,0OO,0OO.
Were it not that part of the Argen-
tine railways are national lines, and
that the government in making pur-

SELL SCHOOL AT AUCTION.

Melbourne, March 25.-All the old
school buildings from the sub-districts
of Melbourne, as well as the old prop
critics in the town of Melbourne, were
sold Saturday at public auction, bring
ing in a total Of $4,230. AS the con-
solidated school is now occupied, there
is no further use for the old buildings
and the directors were authorized at
the. last election to sell both the old
buildings and properties for whatever
they would bring.

vestors, and were it not for the fur
ther fact that there are several French
companies, the sale of all sorts Of rail-
way equipment would be almost a COM
plete monopoly for British manufac-
tu1ers.
The system is simple. The London
banks which float the railway securi-
tics see that the manufacturers who
are borrowers from them get the con-
tracts for equipment.
A similar policy is followed In the
placing Of national loans for harbor
works and other public improvements.
When the Argentine government floats
it's loans in London. the proceeds are
not transferred to Buenos Aires except
to limited amount Credit serves the
place of capital, and large part of the
funds remain on deposit to pay for the
supplies which are bought in the Unit
ed Kingdom or to provide working
capital for the British contractors.
German investments have not been
of the same kind as British, because
Germany has had little surplus capital
to send abroad. But where investments
of this character are made, as in tram
way lines, the German banks see to 1t
that the construction material is
bought in Germany. The more com
mon form of German Investments has
been in partnerships or branch
houses. There are, roughly speaking,
LOGO Hamburg firms engaged in for
eign business. Many of these are
partners in importing houses In South
America. The partnership investment
may not be large, sometimes not more
than $4,000, but it answers definite
purpose. Usually the money so invest
ed is like that in national debts. The
time when the principle shall be paid
is indefinite. In most cases, doubtless,
the withdrawal of the partnership cap
ital would be impracticable.
The Hamburg merchants are content
to let it remain as a foreign investment
because it brings business from the
importing houses. The success Of Ger
many in establishing so extensive a
market for small lines in South Ameri'
ca partly has been due to the partner
ships in importing firms which give the
preference to German goods and which
always are trade missionaries for ar
ticles of German make.
With the growth of investments in
South America by citizens of the Unit
ed States, and with the extension OF
banking facilities, purchases of com
modities should become much greater
But they will not assume satisfactory
proportions until the United States is
genuine participant in all forms OF
legitimate investments - government
loans, public utilities and other enter
prlses. The, perception of the neces
sity Of investing in South America in
order to get South American trade is
one of the encouraging signs of the
movement for foreign markets.
