U. S. TRADE CHANCES
FOR SOUTH AMERICA

WASHINGTON, February 4.-En-
couraging reports of Americas
chances for increasing her share OF
the worlds trade are being brought
to the Department of Commerce by
special agents and commercial at
taches after investigation in South
America, the Orient, Africa and Aus
tralia. Information of commercial Pc
cularities and suggestions for meet
ing the wishes of foreign purchasers
have been prepared for the use OF
American business men.
Robert S. Barrett, special agent of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, reported today on his
study of the paper trade in South
America. He visited every country of
that continent and listed the equip
ment and requirements of $500 news
papers and printing Offices. He will
undertake soon trip through this
country TO confer with paper manu-
furers and exporters on how they can
enlarge their South American bust
ness.
Compliance with South American
trade customs is all that is neces
sary to make purchasers there per-
manent customers of the United
States" Mr.. Barrett said. Every
where went found the most cordial
feeling toward tfh scountry and Ameri-
cans. The realize down there that the
United States entered the war for
altruistic reasons and that at an
enormous sacrifice of men and treas
ure Having fought for democratic
government themselves, they adj
mire with all the fervor of the Latin
race a nation which abandoned a war
trade as great as ours to fight for
world freedom.
THE Mexican policy of the United
States has removed whatever of mus
understanding may have existed re-
garding North American ambition in
South America. Those who asserted
tie United Skates have won been won
over by the participation of South
American diplomats in affairs affecting
this hemisphere.
THE only thing standing in the way
Of increasing our export trade is I'M
familiarity with conditions in South
America which call for handling of
shipments that is different from our
practices here"
One such difference cited by Mr..
Barrett is in the packing of goods
sent to the west coast of South
America. Because of numerous trans
fers of shipment and lighterage in the
shallow harbors, rolls of paper must
be protected by wooden shocks. Pa
per not so protected arrives damaged.
causing dissatisfaction and loss. Do
nestle packing is adequate for east
coast shipments.
The use of the metric system in
South America also imposes special
conditions on trade to insure conformi-
ty to sizes to desired there. While
American publishers buy their fiat pa
per on the basis of 500 sheets weigh
iLg 80 pounds. The American figures

Peculiarities OF tariffs have to be

stance, taking small duty in Uruguay,
while smaller sizes pay heavd duty
because classed as writing paper,
which is regarded as luxury. In
Chile, paper that contains Is per cent
or more of ground pulpenterfree.
There are styles of paper desired
in South America which have to be
made especially for that trade. and
which always heretofore have been
supplied by European makers. Chief
of those is the so-called stamped
paper, used for legal documents, in
which the government has a monopoly
for revenue purposes. 1t is handmade
and watermarked with the coat of
arms of the republic where it is sold
Approval of trade acceptances by
the Federal Reserve Botrd has re-
moved much of the difficulty which
formerly beset American export trade.
Long term credits generally are re-
CURED by South American buyers.
Modern equipment and alert bust
ness methods were found by Mr. Bar
rett in his investigation of newspa-
pers and printing offices. In Buenos
Aires alone there SO daily papers, of
which IL are printed in foreign
languages, four n Italian, two of
each in English, German and Syrian
ard one in French Until three years
ago, little news was received from
the Unitde States, but closer rela-
tons between the two continents and
tie growth of the Pan-American idea
news which is being met by increased
cable services. The South American
papers have more serious tone than
those of the United States. "Fea-
lures" are a rarity and the comic
supplement unknown, but novels of
literary value are printed in daily in
stallments, so arranged in the paper
that they can be cut out and preserved
in box form.
Magnificent buildings house many of
the newspapers, decorated in marbles
and tiles, and containing art works.
A unique feature Of one building is
fencing rood, reminder of the days
when the code duello was the arbi-
traitor of personal disputes. A mas
ter-at-arms still is employed by the
paper to instruct its staff in fencing
as pleasant and profitable recreation.
The same paper has powerful
whistle, which it uses to annuonce
startling events to the city. Until the
European war began, extra editions
were few and far between and the
whistle seldom was heard. AS the
world events became daily occurrence,
the whistle blew freqnetly. A city
council antagonists to the editor OF
the paper attempted to impose re-
strictions on noises such as the
whistle by providing fine for blow
Ing whistles at certain hours. The
editor made out his check to cover a
large number of fines and the extra"
continued to be sounded for the city's
benefit. Finally, the ordinance W
repealed.
