To millions of Americans less is
known of Central and South America
than of the black heart of Africa.
Yet, in the opinion of experts, now
is the time above all others when
American manufacturers and globe
trotters should take an interest in
the wonderful nations to the south of
US. The European war marks the
beginning of remarkable era in the
relations between North America,
South America and the vast inter
yening regions of the Caribbean.
A great trade campaign with Cen
trail and South America is coming.
In Central America there lies an
empire ready for our trade or our
sightseers, vast unexplored terri
tory to most of us, but filled with
more marvels than any we may be-
hold elsewhere in the tropical or sub
tropical regions of the earth. There
the American tourist who desires to
travel abroad will encounter scenes
of enchantment, wonderful tropical
vistas, strange lands, strange peo-
pies, jungles teeming with tropical
life within a weeks journey of the
United States.
Farther to the south lies the
mighty continent of South America,
rich in resources, with modern cities
and increasing populations and with
its temperate regions much like our
own except that its summer is our
winter season.

tury and how we have outgrown it
But that is all buncombe. The state
constitution should contain but two
things,-a bill of rights and frame
of government What is beyond that is
mere legislation and should not en-
cumber the state constitution.
Now then, these are parlous times
for the holding of a constitutional con-
vention. The people are filled with the
ideas of half-baked and ill-digested re-
forms They have the itch for tinker
ing with the machinery of government
and are anxious to foist their cratic
ideas on the people through the med
ium of state constitutions. And we
hardly think that they should be ia
vored at the expense of the taxpayers
of the state. There seems a too great
desire to cucumber that document with
what should properly have place in
our statutes and not made a part of
the organic law of the state.
Come to thing of it, our federal con-
has been doing duty for some
thing like 1870 years, and seems to
serve the purpose of it's creation pretty
even at this day. And the
world has made some rapid strides

Latin America of 3,692,944 and of
$34,805,466 in our exports over a
period of eight months.
Leaders in the development of our
trade and of friendly relations with
Central and South America are
pointing the way. A prodigious work
has been accomplished by the Pan
American Union of Washington, D. C.
The Union is a bureau in which are
joined the United States and the
nations of Central and South Amer
lea. 1t has an imposing permanent
headquarters in Washington and
among it's varied activities in pro-
noting mutual confidence is the dis
tribution of authentic data and at
tractive literature. In the realm of
finance great work has been ac-
complished by the National City
Bank of New York, which has estab-
lished branch banks in Latin Amer
lea, enabling American business men
to successfully enter that field.
Hitherto Americans were at dis

Bank, of which Mr.. Frank A. Van

IAN in linking the tropical Americas
with the United States is that per-
formed by Mr.. Andrew w. Preston.
