ENGLAND's INVESTMENT

Mr. Grace makes the first statement on estimate from high authority respecting the amount of investment of English cap ital in South America The estimate has been as carefully prepared as was that of President Loree of the amount of American securities held for investment by citizens of other countries MT. Grace fixes the amount at approximately $5,0OV,- : O00O0O, which represents England's in vestment in South American securities and properties. It also shows the enorm- ity of South America as an investment country. In the United States there is really no understanding of the fact that, as MT. Grace put it. South America is no trading post proposition European business is so well and has so long been established in South America that a good many years would have been necessary to persuade the people of that country to accept any considerable amount of American. commodities had it not been for stagnation in Europe which is caused by the war. Now South America, being shut off from Europe, is ready to try American commodities and is beginning-to seek in large way financial facilities and our business ability.
 In MT. Grace's view, it is essential that if investment of American capital is to be made in South America, it should be rep resented by American engineers or Amer
 
 surveys railroad in South America the chances are that the road will be con structed with American ties and Ameri- can rails. So. also. if in mine the en- gineer is an American the mine will be worked with American mining machinery
 The fact that South America has been to a great extent developed by European capital is not especially significant in view of the fact. MT. Grace says, that the great west especially that west which is beyond the Mississippi river. was also developed chiefly by European capital. He is satisfied that we may now enter the South American field, remain there after the European war is ended and by and by become the dominating factor. The same qualities which involved personal sacri- flee, constructive ability and sound com mon sense which so marvelously served to develop prosperity in the United States, Mir. Grace is assured will. if made use of in South America, be followed by similar results.
