BOLIVIA NOW LOOKS
TO UNITED STATES
Omitted PresS)

st. Paul, Feb. 19.-Lieut. r. K
Wright, formerly of the United States
navy, is in st. Paul today in the in
terests of the Bolivian government,
to confer with St. Paul banking in
situations concerning trade relations
of this government and that of b.
livia.
Bolivia furnishes 80 per cent of
the tin used in the world" Lieut.
Wright said at the Saint Paul hotel
today, land the United States gets
practically all of that. Before the
war England controlled the shipping
from Bolivia and all the tin we
bought was shipped to England first.
"Since the outbreak of the war,
England, France and Germany have
been entirely ignoring Bolivia and
she now looks to the United States
for practically everything that she
imports. If the proper efforts are
now made we can arrange to get all
of the Bolivian tin as we'll as copper
and gold.
bolivia has not had a revolution
in 40 years and consequently is not
so we'll advertised as some of the
other South American countries, but
it unusually rich in natural resources
and it's government is in a good solid
financial condition.

''swat the rooster and thus secure
unfertile eggs for cold storage in
May and June for delivery to GUS
