Enfly Preparation Advisable.

I'm England. as we'll as In Germany,

foreign trade service begin TO prepare
themselves for II early IN life. They
study the business methods not only Of

they hope to go. They learn its Ian

and Its aspiration. They learn. too. the
policy OF their own country with regard
to their proposed station. Indeed they

Opportunities TO secure the necessary
training are not lacking. Many OF our
colleges and commercial schools ara or
fering admirable courses, covering all
the necessary subjects. But the burden
OF persuading our young men 10 take ar -.
vantage OF these offers rests upon the
merchants whose need is growing so
markedly now.
THE young man should know that our
merchants intend to make their present
venture into foreign fields not a tran
silent thing. but permanent part OF our
national life. Merchants should see to II
that our consular and diplomatic service
realizes that the men who go abroad

Transportation Needs.

One Of the primary needs OF the coun-
try and one which must be supplied II
the scheme OF upbuildlng is to be real
lied is that OF transportation. There are
but two public railroads In the republic
and these total only $50 miles, although
there are 225 miles OF private lines op-
Grating in the large estates.
Highways and bridges are few. espe-
cially IN the interior. but by an executive
order of November %, 1917, the military
governor appropriated $500 900 10 be ex-
pended on trunk road planned ulti-
mately to connect Santo Domingo, La
Vega, Santiago and Monte Christi When
completed such system will open TO de-
velopment the natural resources OF a
large interior area and add immensely
TO the general commerce of the country.
This will also necessitate the lettering
or storage and shipping facilities at the
principal ports. such as Puerto Plata,
Sanchez. Macoris and Santo Domingo. a
step toward which has already been
made in the construction of a splendid
modern wharf at Puerto Plata. In this
very considerable plan of development
there will be opportunity not only for the
mills OF the United States to supply ma.
chinery and material, but there will also
he a chance for the expert representa-
tives OF Yankee producers 10 become ac-
quainted with the conditions and oppor-
tunities OF this new and promising field.
The Dominican Republic is essentially
an agricultural country and seems Aes-
tnued to remain NO. For that reason its
demand for manufactured goods from
beyond it's shores promises to continue.
In supplying this need from outside the
United States plays by far the larger
part.
OF the agricultural products which the
Dominicans offer in exchange for the
output of our mills and factories the
principal ones are sugar. cocoa. tobacco
leaf and coffee. These are the four main
crops and comprise 30 per cent. of the
total exports. Banana cultivation on n
large scale has recently been undertaken
and the raising of long staple cotton is
now being developed

OF dealing with suburban traffic.
Service on the branch has operated
with marked success not only from the
engineering but also from the traffic

the corresponding period OF 1916.

REPUBLICS IN SOUTH

Appliances Heretofore Have
Come Mostly From Britain
and Germany.

South America Is looked upon by
American engineers to become one OF
the largest fields for electrical appli-
ances In the next few years. 1t Is be-
lieved that goods made in the United
States can make serious inroads on the
trade in those lines established before
the war by the British and Germans

new business
Many districts Of the republics are
handicapped by the high prices OF fuel

"Tradc Follows Investments.'
Jorge A. Mitre. editor of La Nacion of
buenos AyreS. In telling of his recent
trip to the United States, made some i'm
portant points in regard to trade and
investments and the relations between
the people Of Argentina and those OF
the United States. He said
Il told American manufacturers that
II they wanted extensive trade with
South America they should not limit
themselves to the selling OF goods.

follows the flag should be altered TO
read trade follows Investments
1T Is fact that the Argentine big in
vestments have meant big trade. am
speaking now on the basis OF figures be-

cording to the large volume of her in
