RUSSIAN SITUATION SUBJECT OF EARNEST
 ALLIED DISCUSSION

Washingon, Dec. 2S.--Officials of the American government here eX- pressed the belief that Stephen Pi- chon, the French foreign minister was vocing his own opinion and not the policy of the French government when he said there would be no i'm mediate intervention in Russia by the allied governments.
 the subject of earnest discussion by
 The Russian situation has been the subject of earnest discussion by the representatives at Paris of the associated nations. but so far as is known here none of the governments has put forward any definite plans. The understanding here is that the whole subject will be left to the peace conference.
 It was reiterated today that thc allied powers have no desire to inter- tere with the internal affairs of Rus sia and that if any aggressive action is determins/ upon the object will be sCle]y to curb a menace to tho peace of the world.

larger than all the United States; yet. except for it's thInly settled coast line, is practically untouched? :? It is one of the riches countries in the world and is destined to develop along similar lines to our own couA- try in the past hundred years. It has every natural resource that we had, and, in addition. others that nature did not give us. Our talking ma chimes, typewriters, sewing machines, safety razors, and multitude Of other American products are stand ard with Brazilians today. It is up to Us to make just as we'll known the thousands of other products tha: we make and that they need jast as much"
 To accomplish this. Mr. Sanger said. it was necessary for American goods down there'. In south Amer ica, he said, advertising methods are crude and much as they were in the United 30 or more years ago.
 We have scarcely even be gun to use this power. this promoto. of sales and good will, in South Amer ica,' continued Mir. Sanger. '! have unmistakable evidence that the poo- pie of that country respond amazing ly even to the crude forms of advcr- tising offered them.

 The committee, of which Prof F. H. A. Seligman. of Columbia univer. slty is chairman, presented it's re, port at a session of the annual con- vention here of the association, and five other economic organizations.

 The federal reserve authorities should follow a less liberal policy in the matter of rediscount and colater- al loans.
 "A greater effort shoud be made to discourage the borrow and buy polcy ill the matter of Liberty bonds insofar as borrowing to buy does net involve immediate econom- ics of consumption
 Recourse to anticipatory borrow ing by the issue of treasury certifi- cates, and with the re-estahlishment of free international market for gold. the control of free interna- tional exchange should be abandoned

u. 5. TRADE WITH LATIN AMERICA HAS |NLREASED
 ENORMOUSLY SINCE WAR
We Are Now Selling South America More Than Half of Everything They Import, Says U. $. Trade Commis. SiOncr.

New York, Dec. 2S.--United States manufacturers and exporters have in- creased their trade in Brazil and other South American countries by more than 160 per cent since the beginning of tho war, according to J. w, Sanger, Trade Commissioner of the United States, Government Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, who recently returned from a survey of the business opportunities south of the equator.
 Imagine ten large stores in one big city aud Cnc 0: these stores doing mere business than al tlhe other nine combied,' 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 ounted in billions of dollars"
 The Commissioner said that with the signing of peace treaty a practi- cal certainty within six months or a year. it is not day too soon to begin making definite plans to meet the keen competition in foreign trade that must come almost immediately" The hum dreds of dollars invested in new fac tories and ships, he said, mean that America must find fresh outlets for her enterprise and industry.
 we need more and better direct representation of our manufacturers in the important trade centers of Bra gil and other South American coun- tries" he said. 'Ths may come about through taking the fullest advantage of the new Webb Export Trade Act or Il other practical ways.
 We also need fast and regular freight service to every important port of Latin America" said Mr. Sanger. Without it we will be as crippled as department store that depends upon casual messenger boys to mako it's deliveries. Then again we must be prepared to meet the actual needs of these countries regarding the extcn- sion of credits.
 "The biggest single incentive to for cign trade is foreign investments. Un- fortunately our holdings iu South America are practically negligible. In short time our ifmensc surplus capi- tai will speak investment Brazil in particular, needs this capital aud will pay us handsomely for it

IRON AND BLOOD.

Few people know that every coura.
geous, red-blooded person, such as
our own soldier boys at the front,
has within his body fifty grains of
iron, or as much as is contained in
an ordinary !" tenpenny" nail. To
be brave, courageous and active one
must have good, red blood. Our
men of iron are men with good
blood, good circulation and an active
liver. The poor, weak Stacker
who is not brave enough to go to
war, is probably unfit because of
thin, watery blood. 1t is easy to
acquire strength and red-blood cor
puscles by taking regular exercises
in the outdoors, breathing exercises
in the morning, and something to
increase the appetite and the red
blood eorpuscles.
The newest iron tonic is rontic"
discovered by DR.. Pierce and his
staff of physicians at the Surgical
Institute, in Buffalo, N. Y. This
"Irontic" tablet is combination of
soluble iron and herbal extracts,
which is proving a wonderful success
everywhere it can be obtained.
Most druggists sell these "rontic"
tablets in sixty-cent yials.
Send DR.. Pierce 1oc for trial pkg.
