hveries. Then again we must be pre-
pared to meet the actual needs of
these countries regarding the extern
sion of credits.
The biggest single incentive to
foreign trade is foreign investments.
Unfortunately our holdings in South
America are practically negligible In
short time our immense surplus
capital will seek Investment. Brazil
in particular, needs this capital and
will pay handsomely for it,
How many people in the United
States know that Brazil alone is larger
than all the United States; yes except
for its thinly settled coast line, is
practically untouched? 1t Is one of
the richest countries in the world and
Is destined to develop along similar
lines to our own country in the past
hundred years. 1t has every natural
resource that we had and, in addition
others that nature did not give US.
Our talking machines, typewriters,
sewing machines, safety razors and a
multitude of other American products
are standard with Brazilians today. 1t
is UP to us to make Just as well known
the thousands of other products that
we make and that they need as much"
To accomplish this, Mr.. Sanger said
it was necessary for American manu-
facturers to advertise their goods
down there" In South America, he
said, advertising methods are crude
and much as they were in the United
States 80 or more years ago.
I'VE have scarcely even begun to
use his power, this promoter of sales
and good will in South America" con-
tinued Mr.. Sanger. II have unmis-
taxable evidence that the people of
that country respond amazingly even
to the crude forms of advertising
offered them.
''Buenos Aires, the capital OF Ar
gentina, has splendid newspapers with
circulations ranging around 10000
daily. Brazilian dailies have proven
excellent mediums for advertising.
THE biggest thing that could hap
pen to advertisers down there would
be for broad gagged American adver-
Using men, to take more interest in it.
These countries await the stimulus of
American advertising genius properly
adjusted to meet their needs But
let the American advertising men put
this in their note books. Spanish Is
tho language Of all South America
except Brazil, where Portuguese is
spoken. Brazilians are offended if you
write Or speak to them In Spanish"

SO. AMERICAN TRADE
IS Being EXPANDED
Exports Increased 16O Per Cent.
Since Beginning Of War

New York, Dec. 28.-United States
manufac tures and exporters have in
creased their trade in Brazil and other
South American countries by more
than $50 per cent since the beginning
of the war, according to J. w. Sanger
Trade Commissioner of the United
States Government Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, who recent
ly returned from a survey of the bust
ness opportunities south of the equa~
tor.
Imagine ten large stores in one big
city and one of these stores doing
more business than all the other nine
combined declared Mr.. Sanger
and that will give you some idea Of
the position we are in today. It is an
amazing record. We are now selling
South American countries more than
half Of everything they import. Our
total export trade is now counted in
billions Of dollars"
The Commissioner said that with
the sight of q peace treaty a practical
certainty within six months or year
it is not a day too soon to begin MAX
ing definite plans to meet the keen
competition in foreign trade that must
come almost hmm ediately." The hum
QfSuS Oh MILLIONS VI uO1larS invested
in new factories and ships, he said,
mean that America must find fresh
outlets for her enterprise and industry.
I'VE need more and better direct
representation of our manufacturers
in the important trade centers OF
Brazil and other South American
countries" he said. This may come
about through taking tho fullest adj
vantage of the new Web Export Trade
Act or In other practical ways,
we also need fast and regular
freight service to every important port
Of Latin America" said Mr.. Sanger.

VICTIM
OF ICY WALKS is
BADLY INJURED

George Walker, an inspector in the
Remington Arms plant was taken to
the Bridgeport hospital today suffering
from internal injuries due to a fall
on icy sidewalks along Boston ave-
nue.. Walker fell so violently that it
was considered miraculous that he
did not break a leg or an arm, and
the doctors are of opinion that the
internal injuries sustained by him are
of a serious nature.
According to reports from the
Emergency hospital there has been
comparatively few cases of injury due
to falling on the sidewalks which
continue to be frozen over. The doc
tors say that fact is no fault of the
owners of property who have failed
to clean the walks in front of their
places, but rather to the extreme care
which pedestrians have to take to pre-
vent being manned.
