Opportunity. Ability and Duty.

Here arc four things well estab-
iished in the first few sIttingS OF the
pan-American financial conference:
(D The United States is abundant
" able to finance the great purpose
of larger and closer commercial re-
lations between this country and the
countries of Latin America. Lead
ing New York bankers have told a
story about our preparedness which
is not only an inspiration to that par
ticu1ar end. but to all monetary ends.
Our strong box is full to overflow
ing. We can provide for a measure
of business far in excess of our pre-
vious aspirations. Banking facilities
Can be created and maintained tax
ing ample care of all our interests in
and among our southern neighbors.
On that score our laws have recently
been liberalized. and it only remains
for the plans to be worked out.
(2l Our neighbors will respond to
all intelligent overtures-meet us. in
deed. half way. Their representa-
tives at this conference. fresh from
home. pledge this. They have been
studying. as we have. the effect Of
the European war on local and world
affairs. and been trying. as we have.
to forecast the future. Their hearts
are centered. as ours are. on the de-
velopment of the western hemi-
sphere. and they will do their part,
as we should ours. toward improv-
ing an opportunity never offered by
fortune before.
60 With this good will existing,
our duty comprehends the question
of credits. and the study of the new
markets. We must, of course. sup
ply what customers want, and pre-
pare it as they want it. The fact
that hitherto we have not done this
accounts in part for our small trade
with our southern friends. 1t NIGH:
have been very much greater if we
had taken the proper pains. If we
w not tdhe tHoSS pains iioN we SudH
get nothing and deserve nothing.
(4D We must have a merchant ma
rine. A deficiency which has been
apparent for long time. and which
many long-headed men, in Office and
out. have urged should be corrected,
Is now a national reproach. All
recognize and deplore it, All would
remedy it. Shall mere difference OF
opinion as TO means defeat so large
and plain duty? Is there anything
impossible about our doing what
others have done in like circum-
stances. Shall we balk at sea trans
portation after performing such ad-
mirable work in the matter of land
transportation?
To US the war has already brought
home many important things; and if
we do not fully find" ourselves as
. world power now we never shall.

Still Pursuing Mr.. Bryan.

All talk in New York is not war
talk. Observe:
A prominent member OF the demo-
cratic national committee declares
that he has 1t straight from a man
who is in close touch with Bryan and
has just come from Washington that
Bryan actually and finally intends TO
close his political career on his re-
tirement from the cabinet at the end
of President Wilson'S present term.
The rest of his life, informant sayeth,
will be dedicated to the cause of pro-
hibitien, and the commoner never
again will make a political speech,
except as politics may involve the
abolition of the liquor traffic in the
United States of America"
Why should Mr. Bryan retire from
office and politics on this account? !?
He is not hampered in his activities
in the cause of prohibition by his
present associations. He and his
