By Santos A. Dominica,
Minister from Venezuela.

The effect OF the European war on
Venezuela Is very noticeable, 1t is
the same as that experienced in the
other American republics including
the United states. Half Of the gen
erll trade ~ Venezuela both in eN-
portations and importations, is ef-
fectoi with the three nations that are
most interested in the struggle
France. Germany and England our
commercial interchange with the
United States is scarcely one-third OF
that amount 1t may be stated there
fore that during m" war the economic
movement Of Venezuela viii be at
least 80 per cent. less than hereto
fore.
But those three countries do not
exchange with Venezuela merely
merchandise and products Of the soil.
They are our masters in science, art
and industry, as undoubtedly they are
so with regard TO al humanity the
special psychological atmosphere
wherein the world has existed since
war was declared is also Oppressive
~ all progress or advancement. CIV
illzation has come 20 a grievous stand
stll, which will cast on the future
IFS dark shadows for many years, and
the dark shadows win blackcn for
ever the names of those who arc
responsible for this war. which wal
history viii consider as an anachro
nsm.

BY Walter S. Penheld,
Counsellor of the Legation of the
Dominican Republic.

The countries OF Latin America will
suffer immense loss economically by
reason of the European conflict, es-
pecially II there is a prolonged war.
They have been dependent almost en-
tirely on the merchant fleets OF the
belllgerents for their international
commercial intercourse. They will
therefore be unable to export or i'm
port the amounts of goods that are
exchanged during peaceful times. This
viii of course cause stagnation I'm
business and industrial depression.
Latin America raises part Of its rev.
enues by both export and import
duties. The cessation OF commerce will
thus diminish the income OF the coun-
tries and cause financial stringency.
While the United States has appar-
entity golden opportunity to secure
the trade heretofore possessed by
some of the belligerent countries IL
will not be able to do 80 to any great
extent, due TO the lack of merchant
marine, branch banks in those coum-
tries and a system OF exchange and
credit by which trade can be car
ried on. Even If the United States
possessed these it is doubtful whether
it would be able to compete success
fully in Latin America with the Eng
lish, French and German after the
termination of the war. due to the
lack of any continuously consister,
and logical policy toward Lati'
America and the development of Il,
trade and commerce.

a large part OF ts crop of coffee, cocoa

sively its tobacco crops, whose only

will he indispensable that the United
States should provide easy means of
purchase, and that can be accom-
plished by affording Colombia an OPP
portunity to sell her products in the
United States. BY displaying a little
intelligence and the pluck which char
acterizes Americans, and by having
full confidence in the honor and sol
vency of Colombian merchants. the
unsettled condition brought about by
the European war can be changed
into the beginning OF a permanent
boom for the trade relations between
Colombia and the United States.
A factor of very large Importance
for the unlimited development Of
American trade with Colombia would
be the approval by the American Sem
ate of the treaty pending between the
United States and Colombia. BY virtue
of that treaty Colombia Is to receive
s25. 900, 900. which Is to be wholly In
vested in railroads, canal works along
the Magdalena River and the erection
Of wharves and warehouses in the CO.
lombian ports ond the Atlantic and Pa
clfic oceans. Here may be seen a
splendid opportunity for the manufac-
turers Of the United States to sell 10
Colombia railroad ties. dredges, loco
motives, machinery. &c. and for the
engineers, laborers, mechanics and all
enterprising men OF this country to
find work there.
In the year 1860 the Argentine Re
public was a poor country, having
then terminated a long period OF
bloOdshed and tyranny. English capi-
talists had faith ana foresight, anc

they are the leading men in that won

the markets where Colombia was wont

her products, namely gold, platinum,
