American way Of dealing with
the problem.
A few weeks ago great Pan.
American conference met in this
city. Practically every nation in
North and South America was
represented. All wanted eoser.
relations with their big northern
broth r. but all agreed that before
that could be achieved lines of
steamers must be established be.
tween the ports of the United
States and Central and South
America. The countries of Span
|ish-America cannot finance such
gigantic enterprises. although
some of them have made verv
brave beginnings. Brazil, and /
think Peru, have purchased ships
to carry their products to our
shores but they can handle only
small part of the trade.
The United States is alone
capable of meeting the situation,
and President wilson will there
fore probably once more grapple
WITH the shipping trust. lE my
