TRADE IN COLOMBIA, yENE-
 ZUELLA, ECUADOR AND PERU

There is no time to be lost if the United States wishes to secure even fair share of trade with these coun- tries Before the war Germany was very powerful in these markets, and she is by no means going to relin- quish her trade there without strenu- ous effort to retain it by fair means or foul. In the current issue of Forbes Magazine, Phanor J. Elder, secretary Mercantile Bank of America, points out the splendid opportunities for economic development in these coun- tries. Tn the agricultural field alone,' he says, there is a great deal of available land that could be de- developed for the production of trop- icaI crops. Peru is already an i'm portant sugar-producing country, and Colombia and Venezuela also have few plantations and have exported some sugar, but there are still many sections excellently adapted for sugar which could be brought to produc- tion.
 Peru has been developing It's min ing industry with great rapidity. Co., lombia's mineral wealth is well known but so far has been merely scratched. A further development of the mining
 
 entail a further demand for American machinery and supplies, and out of the resultant increase in wealth and wel1-being there would spring a greater purchasing power which would react to our benefit.
 In Colombia and Venezuela there is ample room for development of the cattle industry and we can reasonably look forward to the day when these countries will become very large eX- porters either of cattle or of meat
 Peru, owing to its large production of cotton, sugar, some wool, and espe- cially minerals, has become very pros porous during the war. While the other countries have not been war prosperous, neither have they suffered very much from the war because, never having enjoyed very much credit abroad, the cutting oE of this modicum did not greatly affect them. Their trade has increased, although their principal products coffee and cocoa-did not advance in price dur ing the war. With the unprecedented use in coffee since the armistice, their trade balance is increasing.

the full amount of the loan The chief problem in financing the Vic tory bond issue will be in transferring the loan from banks to investors. This must be accomplished, and will have to be done through an appeal to req son rather than to patriotism, which did its full share in previous drives. The new loan will prove really at tra ctive investment and should be ab- sorbod by the public with confidence. If the public fails to do it's share, the banks will be unable to give that same public the accommodation 1t usually requires. It will. therefore, be good business to relieve the banks of a load which does not legitimately belong to them.

LONDON FARMERS
 NANT INCREASE

London. April Correspond ence of The Associated Press)-On the heels of a report made by in vestigators for the Board of AgricuI- ture, taking a rosy view of the farm labor situation in England, comes 8 demand from the National Union of Agricultural Glalborers for $5 a week increase of the present minimum wages. The Agricultural Wages Board is endeavoring to effect a compromise between the union and the farmers, who refuse to meet the demand.
 An official of the union says the situa ation is grave. We are doubt fuI of being able to hold our mem bers if the negotiations are protract- ed,' he stated.
 A government inquiry into the conditions of their work on the same lines and with the same publicity as the coal inquiry,'' is urged by the farm Iaborers.
 The union has called a national conference to meet next month to consider the following program:
 F'orty-four hour week all the year round
 National minimum wage of s12.50
 Overtime only when absolutely necessary, apart from haymaking time and harvest
 Overtime paid at time-and-a-haf rate
 Double rates for Sunday work.
 Other problems to be considered are old-age pensions of s5 a week for laborers 60 years old, pensions for widows and children and state ownership of land.

unnatural display of temper. William
explained that owing to necessity
caused by low temperature he hal g.

states that the ice is to be cut on
Ottar lake, at Tullemeen station, some
.16 miles beyond Princeton. He eX-
poets to cut 1,400 car loads Of ice
which will be stored at the chief ice
houses at Oroville, Wenatchee and
Leavenworth, with smaller quantities
at other stations along the route. 81
present the ice is some eight inches
in thickness, but il freezing weather
continues before the last loads are
housed 1t will be much thicker. Mr.
Cunningham expects to finish the cut
