ny s. p. WERNER.

Written especially for the Latin Amer
tcdn Section Of THE SUN.
When the world settles down to bust
ness after the war Is finally out OF the
way South America is going to offer
opportunities to young men Of big vision
such as seldom has been afforded to
empire builders In all history. The
stage Is set. The Panama Canal puts
New York closer to the headwaters of
the Amazon than London is to the soui CO
of the Nile
Brazil's attitude toward the United
states In the war has opened friendly
way to cooperation In her development
OF inestimablo value. The Colombian
treaty will be ratified and that ulcer
healed. The new regime in Peru spells
progress. This nightmare of German
imperial designs has vanished before
the dawnlng or new era Of polit-
ical stability for men and nations.
Business men can invest now without
fear that it's Investments will be swept
away by the torrent of conquest or
spoliation. International agreements are
pending which will end the reign Of
revolution and riot in Latin America.
There are four big things to be done
In South America. 1 mean "big" in the
sense requiring men like Rhodes, Nor
gan, Hartman and Hill to carry them
cut in the first category Of magnitude
These are the Buena Ventura Buenos
Ayres Railroad diagonalIy across the con-
tinent; the opening of the eastern slope
of the Andes to white colonization and
settlement, the proper sanitation OF the
tropical ports and centres Of the con-
tlnent and the development Of aerial
transportation.
An International Project.
A volume could be written about each
Of these, but none of them can be car
ried out without big men plus big money.
OF these the men are the more impor-
tant
Some of these men are being devel-
oped In South America now. but they
are necessarily limited to national lines
In each country, while the largest prob
lens are international in their scope
and 1t is extremely difficult for citizen
of one republic to exercise a detcrmin-
ing influence outside of his own coun-
try. This is why there is demand for
leaders in coordinating these interpa-
tional undertakings from the outside.
For example, the man who will put
through the Buenaventura-Bue Ayres
Railroad must at least be persona grata
to Colombia, Brazil and Argentina, while
II would be desirable for him to ENJOY
the confidence of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia
Paraguay. and Uruguay also. This
means a harder task than Cecil Rhodes
had, since he was limited to reconciling
only two nationalities to enable the
Cape to Cairo scheme to go through
! the Beers and the Belgians-but 1t is
not an impossible one Gen. Gorgas, for
example, has done this very thing in his
own field. obtaining effective coopera-

HU NAME WEEK

April q marks the beginning of HUI
name Week. and ofall the many weeks
we set aside in this country for cele-
pration or observance none is more
worth while.
Ministers of all denominations will
preach sermons dealing with humane
treatment Of animals. Societies bandA
ed together for the purpose will make
extra effort to arouse public interest
in this good cause.
In the three years which have
elapsed since this week was first OBJ.
served long strides have been made in
eliminating avoidable cruelties to ami
mails in transit, and even those DOOM
ed to death in the slaughter house
find their declining days and final end
more mercifully conducted than did
their predecessors.
People in general have better un-
derstanding of real kindness to ami.
mails than they did in the days gone
by. Children as rule are taught
both at home and at school to care
for their pets and alleviate animal
distress wherever they can. Tile
starved and beaten horse of the ped
Ter no longer drags his weary way
along the streets. If he appears at all,
some human friend telephones the
authorities and Mr.. Peddler receives
instruction and horsey receives kindly
care.
1t is all good work, good for animals
and good for people. Humane Week
should receive especial attention as
BELTS its value.
