Commercial aspects of pan-American
fc,ations formed the basis of an ad-
dress by Harry o. Sandberg Of the Pan
American Union before the foreign trade
class of Business Friday morning. The
speaker emphasized the fact that while
a combination of international circum-
stances has presented to the manufac-
turers of this country opportunity of
securing the lead in the import and ex-
port trade of Latin America, it is doubt
full IL any similar combination of con-
dittons will assist them in maintaining
ms lead. great deal OF business is
coming to the United States for the
first time and seldom before has there
been such an opportunity for American
business to establish itself firmly and
permanently in those countries, he
said. To do this, however. the speaker
declared there will have to be a little
more care and solicitude manifested in
negotiations and in the filling of orders.
The present prosperous condition of
our factories has fostered a spirit of in
dependence and indifference to the spe-
cial wants OF customers, the speaker
raid. Trade, and particularly foreign
trade, is OF a sensitive nature. In deal
ing with the merchants of Latin Amer
lea II would indeed be an unfortunate
occurrence for the future and perma-
nent trade outlook IL this attitude were
in any way apparent.
Mr.. Sandberg stated that when normal
conditions shall once again prevail the
foreign tIdde OF the United States Will
be characterized by cooperation be-
tween nation and private interests, and
by degree of efficiency never before
eGualed in this country. In his first
address before this class some weeks
ago Mr.. Sandberg discussed the polit-
sSal and historical Significance of pam
tmericanism.
