Will meet very great opposition.
Consular records at Rio de Janeiro
and Santos strikingly show the great
increase in American trade. In tho
months of April and May of this year
more American flags entered these two
harbors than had come In during the
preceding ten years. Most OF these YES
sells were sailing ships which had been
in the coasting trade along the eastern
states, but had been called into the
South American trade by the stronS
demand for cargo space,
Principally, they carried down coal

Brazil, then. expects to inherit the
cattle industry that has made Argen-
tina rich. Indeed. it is a common say
ing in southern Brazil that that region,
combined with Paraguay and Uruguay,
is destined to be the smokehouse of
the world" Here is an immense ter
ritory. a territory fully as extensive as
the grazing region of the Argentine,
and in some respects even more suitable
for cattle.
Today, of course, 1t lacks the trans
portation upon which such an industry
necessarily depends. and also the great
packing and refrigeration plants at
terminals whence the vital mmodity
is exported. Development along this
line is not expected on any la ge scale
until the possibilities of the Argentine
are exhausted, but that this develop
ment will ultimately come in southern
Brazil there is no reasonable doubt.
The climate of the region has been
declared by some to be an obstacle in
the way of an extensive cattle industry.
But the district is in the same relative
latitude as Texas. although somewhat
warmer than that state because of its
lower elevation. The best answer, how
ever, to this objection is the fact that
the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do
Sui is already producing cattle on

States. The range cattle will be pro-

Gently.
But it is not IN cattle alone that Bra
zil holds the ultimate future in her
hands. Her territory is SO broad. her
products SO diversified. her resources
so untold that any estimate of her pos
sibilities can be but mere guess. She
virtually monopolizes the worlds sup
ply of coffee. She produces an immense
proportion of the worlds rubber, and
the best rubber at that, and there is
no Limitation to the possibilities of the
development of this production. She
is learning how to sanitate her deep
tropics, where some day there may
exist agricultural lands to produce the
food for future generations. Her sup
ply of timber may be termed mex
haustible. Her water power is i'm
mense; her minerals are practically
untouched, but they exist in wonderful
variety and extent. 1t is no task to
imagine that the future wealth of
Brazil may exceed that Of all the other
South American countries combined.
For these reasons ii is particularly
gratifying to note that American trade
is at present making greater strides
in Brazil than in any other major coun-
try of South America. This progress
has been very largely. Independent of
the favorable conditions created by
the great war, although when the lat

In coal, as in other competitive lines,
Americans are prone to do peddling
rather than selling business. A Bra

IN HE embodiment of typical
American career is in Washing
ton IN the person of Robert p.
l. Skinner. CONSUL general at Lon
don Hie career shows how the typical
American not only meets opportunity
when IL comes his way, but creates op-
nortunity.
Consul General Skinner Is In Wash
3nGton TO confer with Secretary Lansing
and other ofictals of the State Depart
nent over the controversy with Eng
land concerning American commerce.
His conferences relate chiefly to the
detention Of American cargoes destined
for Holland and other neutral countries.
A month OF so ago one of the consul
generals reports was published. which
may or may not have been intended for
publicity II gave some very interest
ing information about British ship
ments to those neutral countries where
England was interfering with Ameri-
can shipments. The conclusion from
the information furnished by the con-
sui general seemed TO be that British
shippers were benefitinE by the deten-
ZION of American cargoes.
The State Department necessarily is a
very conservative Institution. The
niceties OF foreign Intercourse have to
be observed and much care has to be
taken not TO offend other governments.
Not infreauently the State Department
has an unpleasant hour through the
failure of representatives of ether de-
partments of the government to OBJ
serve all the requirements of dipIo-
matte etiquette. 1t is therefore all the
more careful TO observe them itself
Yet In spite of tradition and red tape,
caution and conservatism, occasionally
something will get out which chiIls
the marrow bones OF the department.
Then there is inquiry and investtga-
ton to see who is responsible for the
inadvertence, and probably q rebuke
10 the offender II the responsibility can
be fixed.
Nevertheless, an occasional inadver-
tence by the department serves a good
purpose. The report of Consul General
Skinner, which was inadvertently made
public. served an unusually good pur-
pose. 1t gave the American people
some valuable information which they
were entitled to know. II, moreover,
showsd the American shippers who

have been subjected to many vexations
that the department was alert and
alive to their interests.
When Consul Geaeral SINNERS re-
port became public there were intima
tions from poorly informed persons
that 1t would render him persona non
Rrata to the British government. and
that suggestion would be made to
Washington that his presence in Lon
don In an official capacity was not
agreeable.
There was no real basis for these
rumors. because there was nothing In

lished report which criticised the Brit
ish government or reflected on it He
simply reported the information he had
gathered about American commerce and
British commerce with the neutrais
whose ports are the only open gate
ways at present to Germany.
The British officials, seeing the si,ua-
ton. very sensibly set about to explain
1t from their point of view, and also
shovel a more accommodating spirit
in dealing with the subjects in contro-
versy. The consul general, when his
conferences with the State Department
are concluded. undoubtedly will return
