Visitors Are Enthusiastic
Over Possibilities of the
Forthcoming Conference

The foreign visitors are enthusiastic
over the possibilities of the forthcom-
ing conference. This is especially true
of the Central Americans. who think
the conference will mark the first prac-
tical step toward strengthening the
financial and trade relations between
the United States and her sister re-
publics. voicing the sentiments of his
delegation. Ramon F. Acevedo Of Pan
anna said today that what Panama
business men needed was better bank
ing and credit facilities.
South American merchants look on
the United States as the logical source
for obtaining many products, he said,
"and 1t would seem to be only ques-
ton of arranging the proper banking
facilities and transportation lines 10
bring our people to your markets. W
would prefer doing business with the
United States rather than with Europe,
if the same facilities for doing business
can be provided
Argentina Expects to Profit.
Samuel H. Pearson. a delegate from
Argentina, said that his country ex-
poets to profit enormously because of
changed trade relations following the
shake-up Of commerce in Europe. Easy
banking and trade facilities. he said,
would be urged by his delegation.
Martin Travieso. jr., first native sec
retary of state for Porto Rico, and
delegate from that island. said:
The pan-American conference called
by Secretary McAdoo opens at the
psychological moment in the worlds
history. Already the disturbed condi-
tions in Europe have made a great DIFF
ference in the course of trade. South
America is buying in North America
instead of in Europe"
Merchant Marine to Be Topic.
One of the vital topics to be dis
cussed and thrashed out thoroughly is
the old question of American merchant
marine. A large part of the time taken
by the heart-to-heart talks between
the delegates and American business
men and bankers will be devoted to
getting down to rock-bottom facts on
the necessity for an American line of
steamers running to and from the
South American ports on both oceans.
Transportation in the South Ameri-
can trade has been dependent to a sur
prising degree on European merchant
marine. Consequently the European
war has made a great difference. 1t Is
hinted in official circles that a great
impetus will be given during the con-
ference to the proposal which made so
great a stir in Congress. namely, the
creation of a government owned line
of ships for South American trade only.
