What share of this trade we will

OUR PROGRESS IN
LATIN AMERICA.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

\ short time ago an American firm
was awarded a contract worth nearly
S5.0oo,"0o for the building of port
works at ASCENSION. Paraguay. Ten
years ago an English or a French COM
pany would in all probability have done
the work. The incident is one of many
current indications that the United
States is gaining a business foothold
in Latin America.
We have undoubtedly won place in
Latin American trade. Now another
question arises. Can we hold this bust
ness when the European war is over
and the great industrial nations of that
continent re-enter the market
This is a question of the utmost i'm
portance to the commercial future of
the United States The Latin American
trade means far more to US than an op-
portunity for the individual to make
money 1t is a national opportunity for
the United States to take her place as
one of the foremost commercial nations
of the world.
The average American citizen. full
fed on copy book patriotism. is apt to
eXclalm that we are already that and
ne VIII point to the immense value of
our exports as conclusive proof AS a
matter of fact we are just beginning
TO be frst-rate force in international
trade Before the beginning of the
European war a large proportion of
our exports were raw material or part
ly manufactured goods. Now it is a
fundamental principle of international
trade that the more highly manufac-
tured the goods exported the more
value they represent to the producing
nation. and the most efficient and DOW
erful nation is the one which most
completely manufactures all of its
products. Thus a ton of iron ore ship
ped out of the United States means that

Fallacy Entertained by
MANY Americans,

mony of all experts and all the prece-
dents of history are against this con-
clusion. Horrible war is, from a social
and humanitarian point of view. and
too cruel price to pay for any boon.
| but it has almost invariably acted as
an industrial stimulus Europe will
| lay down arms and take up business,
better organized, better disciplined,
| hardened and trained in body, grimly
determined in spirit.
| Our skill as manufacturers and our
! organiza ton for selling will be severe
! ly tested. Only those industries which
can produce better article for the
money and are organized to hold the
market will win out. This is the
opinion of the trade experts. They be-
| lieve that in some lines, such as iron
and steel manufactures, we will hold
| every inch we have gained. In others
We must inevitably lose. These losses.
. however, will be valua BILE as a lesson
| in the need for national organization
and policy in foreign trade rela tons.
| Meanwhile, what of the countries we
are dealing with? They are progress
ing far more rapidly than we are.
Their populations are multiplying at
an unprecedented rate. They are at
once pushing long frontier into a
! rich wilderness, and building up met
ropolitan civilization. Buenos Aires is
now one of the great cities of the
world 1t has been estimated that at
the present rate of increase in fifteen
years. it will be greater than Chicago
and become the second American city.
All the strength of these lusty young
countries is going into building and
conquering nature. They are looking
to us for funds and tools with which
to work If we are to share in their
brilliant future and realize the pan
American ideal we must not fail them.
