SOUTH AMERICA OFFERS
MARKET FOR OUR TRADE

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 1.-THE best
hunting grounds for after the wan
trade will be Central and South
America, Speaker Champ Clark told
the Southern Commercial Congress
which opened its convention here yes
terday.
Yes, we come out of the war with
great merchant marine, but I press
home the question what are we go
ing to do with it?' Clark said. at is
rumored that Germany will be shut
out from the raw materials market.
Whether That is true or not I do not
know. Before Great Britain wss our
best customer and Germany second.
Most OF our productions which Ger
many took we're raw materials or ma
terials only partl. manufactured so,
if the rumor referred to turns out to
to be the truth We will have less for
elgn trade than when the war began
and somehow, somewhere we must
ind new anil enlarged fields for our
products.
my answer is that our best hunt
ing grounds ror trade will DE Central
and South America-right at our own
doors. If we had acted the part Of
wisdom in the last half century in
stead of having only Is per cent of
the foreign trade of Latin-America,
We would have the lions share"
South America is 'samazingly rich
Clark said.
How are we to increase our trade
with that mavelously rich land
much larger than North America 2"
he continued. "By establishing abund-
ant steamship lines between their
ports and ours; by establishing better
banking facilities which fit in with
their business habits by packing our
goods and merchandise in manner and
styles to please their taste, and above
all by having a course of Spanish in
all our universities, colleges and bust
ness schools"

pIIBLIC OWNERSHIP
SWEEPING WORLD

ro.thirds of the worlds railways
p Daetically all of its telegraph wire,
p" now under public ownership Of
an according to statistics recent.
s01 .ompiled by Harry Ladder anc
hIisbed as bulletin by the Public
ppnorship League of America.
0 The rapid advance of public owner
- i indicated by the fact that in
pr .frast to the above only one-third
~ .+be railways, one-fourth of the tele-
..nos and two-thirds of the tele-
onb wires under such control but
four years ago.
The entire bulletin of 80 pages is
,oroted to a survey of the various
s.rn,s of public ownership throughout
~ world. The whole has been sup
orted and reinforced by statistics re-
psntlv compiled by Mr.. o. P. Austin
i tbe National City Bank of New
Work The figures are astonishing to
.hoso who are not familiar with the
rapid progress along these lines.
Much of the recent changes in these
matters, Mr.. Austin says, is due to ac-
+ion taken by the United States for,
rror to the present war, this was the
an country which had not establish
ID the public ownership of these pub
rc utilities. The governments of Eur
mo in 1914, already owned or con-
troled "a per cent of the railway
lines. IS per cent of the telephones,
and 100 per cent of the telegraphs.
Practically every country controlled
At least part of it's railroads, and
nearly all of them the bulk of their
telephones, and there was no excep-
ton to government control of the tele-
graph.
In Asia 66 per cent of the railroads,
90 Der cent Of the telephones and all
Of the telegraph lines were state con-
tOlled. In Africa so per cent of the
railways, 80 per cent of the tele-
phones and all Of the telegraph sys-
TEN we're under government control.
In Australia and New Zealand, pri-
vate interests had only per cent of
the railways, while all the telephone
and telegraph lines were state con-
hOIed.
In striking contrast was the situa-
alton in North and South America,
for the latter continent shared with
US in the north stubborn resistance
to encroachments of the government
IN these directions. War not only /
radically changed these conditions in
the United States, but swept practic-
SLY all of what remained of privately
controlled lines in Europe into the
hands Of the several governments.
