a New Era Dawns
in South America

GOUTH AMERICA, with it's defects
~ and deficiencies, as well as its Won
derful possibilities, is vividly pictured
by MaXmiliano Aviles in an article on
"Contrasts and Tendencies in Latin
America" in the Inter America Maga-
zne." These twenty republics, stretch
ing from the southern line of the United
States to Cape Horn, says the writer,
possess great natural forces which are
now latent and now manifest, now slum-
bering and now self-destroying. They
are peoples of incredible contrasts; they
possess mines of fabulous wealth which
are not exploited; lands of astonishing
fertility that are not cultivated; men
of energy and vast and noble talent that
neither construct nor guide; memories
OF past that do not inspire them; Wis
ions of a future that do not set them
in notion"
Nevertheless the writer finds that
There exists here the fundamental ele-
ments of great peoples; a language that
unltes and mingles them; an ethnic or
igin that is almost Identical; future
that offers exalted glories through COM
mon effort" He finds that:
"There exist other forces and factors still
that are more readily translated into pos
tive facts There is already being formed
here a middle class, conscious of it's right
to liberty and of its civil prerogatives Ideas
of true liberalism are now being dissem-
mated, and the working classes of MANY
OF the republics demand we'll defined in
stltutions and procedures. No longer is our
great pride based merely upon bygone
glories and subtle idealisms, and both the
individual will and the collective conscience
seek the exercise of productive work and
tangible merit. We catch a GLIMPSE of
something like virile movement. From
this spirit of enterprise, this initiative that
aS oelng developed, will spring order,
system formulas The educated classes
lean toward the development of agriculture.
as yesterday they inclined to the cultivation
OF the fine arts. The directors of policv
VIII seek victories in the true realization
OF beneiicent deeds and methods. as vas-
terday they found them IN the unconscious
subJection of the weak classes. SAVINGS
Will be brought together to form mobile and
active capital, as yesterday they were buried
beneath mysterious trees upon the banks
OF unknown rivers. The youth that hesi-
tates to-day and to-day yields to the drag
OF an enervating surrounding medium will
be able tomorrow to initiate and tn Wi,
success in the field of an Organized md
triumphant patria. Idle lands will become
fertile estates. Those who crouch TODAY
stand m.
'hpulse or the Latin American and the
S'inulus OF this epoch of such productive
ness we shall learn how to destroy hurtful
influences, how to exploit our lands and
use our riches, to form generations OF solid
active and enterprising men, to spread the
