This much is perfectly feasible and
will no doubt be contaminated within
short time.
| But we must not delude ourselves
into supposing that this conference be-
lieves 1t can solve the fundamental
obstacles In the way of a rapid or wide
extension of trade with South America.
The exports of those countries are for
the most part crude produce of which
with some exceptions, we can use only
relatively small amount. The worlds
capacity to utilize these staple pro-
ducts is obviously greater than ours
ever Will be. We already use large
amounts and can increase only slowly
our capacity for consumption Here is
obstacle number one. We cannot buy
the whole or even the bulk Of what
they have to sell and utilize it our
selves.
In the next place we do not produce
many OF the articles they wish to buy,
not SO much because we are unable to
produce them, as because we have
been busy with other tasks and are
/ already able to send back to them an
amount of goods equal in value to what
we can purchase. In the long run, it
will not make so very much difference
what our capacity to make is, because
we can never profitably sell to them
greater amount than the total of
their produce which we can profltably
use in exchange. We ought not to sell
them more than they can pay for.
Here is obstacle number two.
We are also deficient in the supply
of capital which will be needed to de-
velop South America in the near fu-
ture. They can grow as fast as the
amount Of capital they can continue to
obtain, and have not yet failed to alb.
sorb an almost unlimited amount. We
have a great deal Of capital to loan,
but compared to the European supply
ours is small. Besides, as we need
very large amounts of capital to de-
velop our own country the demand
here is abnormally great, and provides
SO good a market for our own capital,
and draws SO heavily on Europe, that
the price of money is high here COM
pared to the rates in London. We
simply cannot afford to loan money to
South America at rates as advanta-
geous for them as they can ordinarily
procure in London, Paris, or Berlin.
There the domestic opportunities are
not as numerous, and more investors
are compelled to seek foreign fields.
They are, therefore, anxious for oppor.
tunities.
1t should be apparent that, great as
our opportunities in South America,
are, we shall not soon conquer these
three fundamental difficulties and be-
come able to monopolize their trade.
The normal economic factors of the
situation make trade more profitable
for them with Europe than with us.
There are, of course, many exceptions
to these general statements. Some
lines we control; some countries al
ready buy the bulk of their goods from
US; some Individual merchants COM
pete successfully with foreign houses;
but on the whole this is the situation
at present.

D OUTLINES POLICY
OF ADMINISTRATION

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Jan. Laws
10 develop the agricultural and stock
raising resources of the state. to con-
serve the water supply for irrigation
and to encourage settlers bT loaning
state funds on real estate mortgages,
were recommended by Governor John
B. Kendrick, Democrat. in his first
message to the Wyoming legislature,
PRESENTED today.
The governor also urged an eff
cicnt workmen's compensation act
and the creation of public utilities
commission. A feature of the mes
sage was n plea for greater legal
rights for women, who have been
permitted to vote and hold office in
Wyoming since 1869. Governor Ken
drick urged economy in expenditures,
pointing out that the large area of
untaxed government land within the
state reduces the wealth available
for taxation. A statute was recon-
mended giving the governor author
ity to remove county officers who are
found derelict IN their duty.
Referring to irrigation the mes
sage said:
Under the conditions of her en-
abling act, Wyoming was given the
null and exclusive use of the waters
Of the streams within her borders.
We are. however, confronted at this
time by the extreme danger which
arises from the application OF the
rights of priority of appropriation OF
our waters after they have crossed
into the neighboring states where
such claims become effective. the use
of the waters thus appropriated may
forever be denied to us and we who
are higher up on the stream sustain
an irreparable injury, without the
users lower down receiving any in
creased benefits. In other words,
those lower down on the streams are
being permitted to take away some
hing of immense value to us with
ont adding to their own interests.
To prevent the extension of this
condition the governor recommended
that unappropriated water rights be
taken up as rapidly as possible for
the benefit of Wyoming projects.
Calling attention to the fact that
the first territorial legislature grant
ed Wyoming women the ballot, Gov.
Iicndrick continued
But feel it my duty to call your
attention to the humiliating fact
that our laws have Jagged behind the
laws of our sister states in the adop-
tion of remedial legislation giving
her control over the custody of her
children and those rights of property
which must lie at the basis of every
true American home"
Accordingly, the governor recon-
mended the enactment of Legislation
which will place the mother on a
par with the father as to the right OF
custody of her minor children; that
a married woman be given the un-
questioned right to make contracts
as If She were single: that the home
stead exemption be increased; that
neither husband nor wife shall have
power to will away more than half
the property possessed at the time
OF the death without the written con
sent of the other.
