The fundamental economic circum-

South America as a continent. or as a
world with food for millions of peo-

He believes that this is an accu-
rate reflection of the conditions
throughout the country. Judge
Day sums up his convictions as fol-
lows:
"The company with which I am
identified has done more business
thus far this year than it did FOR
the same period last year, and as
our business extends all over the
United States this satisfactory
situation is, l think, significant of
the general situation; for while it
is true that the protection of life
insurance is more essential in hard

it is easier to lay aside money for

Tendencies and Events.

The prospects for increasing the
South American market for the prod
ucts of the United States should be
considered in the light Of normal
economic tendencies and Of abnormal
events.
The normal tendencies are indicated
in what has been stated about the
ability of the United States To absorb
larger quantities Of the proudcts Of
South America, and in return TO de-
velop a reciprocal demand for manu-
featured COmmodit .es, and especially
for those resulting from the national
policies Of the respective republics in

James A. Farrell,

JAMES A.. FARRELL, president
j of the United States Steel
Corporation, has noted the upward
trend in business and anticipates
an era of good times. The position
of America is such that it can lend
financial assistance to the rest OF
the world and increase its COM
merce to huge proportions. He is
quoted as follows:

The drafts made on the nitrate fer
~tilizers as a means of freshening and
renewing agricultural production also
grow.
The utility OF the South American
ore beds, both iron and copper. has
been indicated. The precious miner
ais, too, are absorbed.
In the analysis OF mutual trade re-
lations it is desirable to avoid an err
roneous Interpretation Of the statis-
tics OF imports and exports. The
balance Is largely against the United
States. both with reference to the
South American continent as a whole
and as regards practically every dis
tinct country. Moreover, the amount
OF investments and loans on which
dividends and interest payments are
RENTED unfortunately Is too small
to modify the unfavorable balance.
Yet II must be kept In mind that there
are 100. 900, 900 in the

a very small purchasing power per

United States. Besides, the popula-
ton of the United States grows much
more rapidly than the population OF
South America.

pubiicists. They. therefore. have UNI
derstood this anomaly. Their point
OF view Is given effect sometimes In
the policies adopted by their respective
governments, and sometimes voice Is

ion. This viewpoint may he crystal-
llzed by saying hat mutually OF trade

SOUTH AMERICA RECOGNIZED
AS MOST PROMISING FIELD
~ CHARLES VI. PEPPER.
Former Foreign Trade Adviser ia
h state Department.

state Department..
The awakening consciousness OF
foreign trade as a vital element In the
prosperity Of the United Sta'es has
been one of the striking developments
of the last few years. When the
spirit OF inquiry was aroused there
was an instructive turning to South
America as the most promising field
for commercial expansion. 1t was In
tuitively realized that the Pan-Amer-
lean policy which James G. Blaine
inaugurated was the policy OF a
statesman Of vision and foresight.
Mr.. Blaine encouraged the cultlva-
ton Of knowledge of the South Amer
lean countries on the part OF the peo-
pie of the United States with the two
fold purpose Of strengthening the po-
litlcal relations and broadening the
, trade relations.
He was thinking OF South America
as a market for the products OF the
United States and of the United
States as a market for the products
I ~ South America. A quarter Of "A
century was required to awaken the
consciousness Of the American people
to the practical nature Of his ideas.
3 Secretary Root saw with the same
breadth Of vision as Mr.. Blaine. His
visit to South America marked an era.
II was the era of hotter understand
ing by the people OF the United States
Of the political. social and industrial
conditions in the countries Of the
southern continent and by the peo-
pes there of the aims and purposes
Of the United States. Improved COM
mercial intercourse was accepted a.
the sequence OF this improved mutual
understanding.
Secretary Bryan, visiting the dif-
ferent republics as a private citizen.
had informed himself regarding their
our and their political progress.
When, as Secretary of State, he be-
came charged with the responsibility
OF adjusting the foreign policy of the
United States to its commercial eX-
pansion, he was in a position to mako
the application to South America with
intelligence and with zeal.

Better knowledge Of the South
American countries and Of their po-
litical and economic status is now
shown In the United States. and with
IL has come the sympathetic spirit
which in itself makes for good inter-
national relations. With this sympa-
thetic understanding as a foundation
the awakened consciousness is a
means of charging the study OF the
commercial geography of the southern
continent and the relative position OF
the different republics in world trade.

that attention is now directed.

made regarding the natural
of South America as n means Of pur-
chasing power OF foreign commodities,
The resources for export are essen

fes the exchange Of natural products
for manufactured articles.
The .>rGentlne Republic has crude

products. Brazil has rubber and Cof-
fee, and an enormous reserve OF iron

has the saltpeter, or nitrate Of soda

II is fortunate for the United

WON'T SEND THEIR

LINCOLN. Ncb., Jan. 1S.-"No

slogan OF the farmers Of at least one
county in Nebraska. The farmers OF
jefferson county are refusing TO sell
any animals to contractors who are
acting for the warning nations.

them. and apparently he voiced the
sentiment held by many.
None OF us need money 30 badly
that we must let the Europeans have
our dumb brhtes to be used for tar
gets for artillerymen and riflemon."
The attitude OF the farmers was
brought out strongly recently when

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IN
REFERENCE TO LEGISLATION
Producers Believe One Thing, 50 They
Say, and Oklahoma SOlons Have
Other Ideas.

ARDMORE. Okla, Jan. lS.-Ihe
Hea!dton field producers generally are
favorable to the measure, now pend
ing ia the legislature, to control the
OH situation in this state, but SIN
there seems to exist some dlhcrence
OF opinion in regard to the matter.
one HealdtCn oil man, who signs hlm-
self a Minority Stockholder" does
rot agree with the general sentiment,
for he saws
IAN this talk about corporation
commission control, new drastic lcSls-
Iatlon and law made prices, is so
much rot, and the sooner we cease
riding those phantoms and look the

ing in the limel,ght of rubl,c notice,

seek to become notorious, but they
pay neither debts nor dividends and in
the end will not avert financial ruin,
\ distinctly contrary opinion Is
held by Roy NJ. Johnson, editor OF tine
Ardmore Statesman, who says
The passage Of this measure will
mean a direct saving of millions OF
dollars TO the taXpay ers Of the state.
The corporation commission Will be
able to prevent drilling in excess Of

tween S25,0OO,000 and $5O,0OO,OOO
that has escaped us that never can he

Something OF a still different view
is taken by John f. Easley, the oil ed
lItor Of the Daily Ardmorite. who says:
THE solution to the oil situation
IS to draft law so that any given
| pool will be controlled as though 1t
were the property of one man, All
/ the producers In any pool take their
oil from common pool, and any
| legislation that will give to one man
Ian opportunity to take more oil from

work a hardship. This principle re-
duges oil legislation to a simple basis,

riers \ till drafted along that line

Home" The realty board raised a
special fund among the members of
$S5 and offered three prizes of $50, $25
and $40 for the best arguments con-
tained in letters not to exceed 900
words each. The newspaper gave every
day for nearly a month an article of
over a half column in length calling
attention to the contest and giving the
opinions of prominent men on the wis
dom of the plan. Five prominent busi-
ness men agreed to act as Judges.
A few days after the contest was
started 1t became evident that most of
the contestants were waiting till the
end of the contest to send in their
letters, and it was decided to offer a
special prize of $40 for the best letter
received during the following three
days.
When the contest was about two
weeks old the newspaper began pub
fishing some of the best letters sub
mitted, all of which increased the in
terest and letters began rolling in by
the dozen. Incidentally most of the
real estate offices felt they were get
ting an increasing number of inquiries
for houses.
High school teachers encouraged their
students to compete for prizes with
the result that over 200 students sent
in their contributions. These were ex-
aimed by the teachers and about ninety
