their own countries.
The mere establishment of an Ameri-
can bank in any country of South
America possesses a psychological i'm
portance that should not be underesti-
mated. The populations regard 1t as
the forerunner of American capital and
American trade. The countries there,
all of them, possess marvellous posi-
b1l1ties for development, but the capital
is lacking. Heretofore, Europe has
financed most of the South American
development. but European capital does
not possess the imagination and daring
expected by the Latin Americans of
United States dollars.
Only the better educated and travelled
South Americans understand that
American capital has stayed at home
because there was plenty of EMPLOY
ment for 1t in developing our own re-
sources. The majority of the Latin
American people, including a large per-
centage of the mercantile class. can
not see why we have not long ago
come to their countries with the money
that they need SO much. They see in
the establishment of an American bank
the visible token and promise of new

But money and good wishes were not
the only things contributed. Women
gave weeks of their time as volunteers,
to help in the care of the youngsters
at Good Will and Camp Pleasant; and
let no one suspect for n moment that
such work is picnic.
Men gave their automobiles to take
sick women and children to the camps,
and usually managed to be the drivers

turns in visiting and inspecting these
camps. DIR. Louise Taylor Jones and
