 "The Mexican policy of the United States has removed whatever of mis- understanding may have existed re- gardiug North American ambition in South America. Those who asserted the United States had territorial am- bitions have been disarmed by our withdrawal from Vera Cruz. Those who were jealous of the prestige of the United States have 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 un- familiarity with conditions in South America which call for handling of shipments that is different from our practices here"
 One such difference cited by MT. Barrett Is in the packing of goods sent to the west coast of South Amer ica. Because of numerous transfers of shipment and lighterage in the sha1- low harbors, rolls of paper must be protected by wooden shocks. Paper not so protected arrives damaged, causing dissatisfaction and loss. Domestic racking is adequate for east coast shipments
 The use of the metric system in South America also imposes special conditions on trade to insure con- formity to sizes desired there While American publishers put their flat pa- per on the basis of 500 sheets weigh ing 92 pounds the South American ffg- ures according to the number of grams to the square meter.

 The same paper has a powerful Whis- tie, which it uses to announce startling events to the city. Until the European war began, extra editions were few and far between and the whistle seldom was heard. AS world events became of daily occurrence, the whistle blew frequently. city council antagonistic to the editor of the paper attempted to impose re- strictions on noises such as the whistle by providing a fine for blowing 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 Finally, the ordinance was repealed.
