Christian Work in Latin-Amcrica,
which opened here on February 10,
completed It's work this afternoon with
the organization Of an enlarged COM
mittec for cooperation in its activities
in Latiu-Amcrica, in accordance with
resolutions adopted yesterday. The
congress outlined the work that the
committee will undertake and fixed its
politics with reference to the mission
field and also toward societies and
other agencies which now or IN the
future will support missions IN Latin
America.
The Rev. 6. &. Inman, of New York,
Was elected general secretary.
Dr. Robert +. Speer, chairman of the
congress and secretary of the Presby-
terrain Board of Foreign Missions, sum
married The work accomplished BY the
congress as follows:
THE congress was composed Of dele
gates representing virtually all the re-
ligious denominations Of North and
South America. Great Britain, Spain
and Italy. They met to consider how
the Christian forces OF the Latin,
AnGlo-SaXon and Teutonic nations
might work together TO help the evan

This sum represented an increase OF
almost S4.O0O,O0O over the amount
spent in the preceding fve-year period
and was nearly three times az much
as was spent in the first period for
which statistics were available. 1889 to

At the same time the commission re-
ports that the support given b. the
home churches to the Latin-American
missionary field was pitiably made

American Trade in China
During 1915 UnfavOrable

Shanghai. Feb. 19.-In its report at
the annual meeting Of the American
Association Of China, the executive
committee of that organization "om-
mented unfavorably on American trade
conditions in China FOR 1915. The re-
port says:
"The wear has not been favorsble for
the importation OF American cotton
goods. A low exchange rate and ad-
vsncing freight rates and the absence
Of normal demand at this end account
for the unfortunate state Of affairs.
"Formerly the Pacific Coast sent
large shipments Of -four to China. but
the advance in the price Of wheat and
the scarcity of tonnage make 1t lmpooss
sjble 10 compete with the native mills
at present ,.a ..ou America are
Incoming more diversified, and the in
terruption Of shipments from Europe
has led 70 increased business in our
Goods. Chemicals and food products
metals. machinery and electrical sup
plies may be mentioned among the INES
that have been in special demand.
The absence OF American SHIPS mas
during this year. been source OF cucn
inconvenience and loss TO American
merchants that we can only hope It VIII
press home the fact of the heavy han
dicap TO American trade caused py our
being without ships that fly our nag
"While our government sends COM
missions and special agents TO report
on trade conditions to stimulate our
foreign trade. obstacles continue 70
hamper American shipping. Notwith-
standing the publicity that has been
given to this state of affairs, it would
appear that even more is wanted to
awaken the people at home 70 the folly
Of seeking foreign trade while ignoring
the requirements necessary to make IT
successful"
