SOUTH AMERICA GAINS -
BY WAR IN EUROPE
Jglehart Recommends Educational Advertising by
Governments in American
Newspapers.

Contrary TO the general supposition
that the war has reacted unfavorably
TO the general world economy evidences
ere daily accommodating that many of
the smaller nations Of the world have
benefited rather than suffered as a re.
suit OF the European conflict. This
seems to be especially true OF the repub-
lies of South America which, as time
advances. appear as the particular
Jewel in the crown OF American inter-
national trade ladons of the future
War necessities and the restrictions
on ocean shipping which resulted In
practical trade Isolation for many OF the
Latin American nations, far from re-
sulting disastrously for them has gone
far In placing them on the road toward
commercial and Industrial independence
with accompanying increasing import
arce In tho international trade Btruc-
ture Reports are constantly reaching
tho United States which tell OF in
creased prosperity and wider Industrial
and commercial activity and stimulation
OF production of natural resources.
The most recent addition to the al
ready long list OF such nations Is Peru.
Present indications are declared to point
toward greater industrial activity and
the widening of interests in that coun-
try.
High prices, increased production
and stimulation and development of her
natural resources have resulted in an
evenly distributed and widespread
prosperity in Peru" Such is an analysis
In few words of conditions in that
country made by David S. Iglehart, who
has just returned from a visit to Peru
Mr.. Iglehart Is vice.president Of w. r
Grace & Co. and is intimately in touch
with business and trade conditions in
Latin America.
Peru is undergoing an/era of eco
nomic prosperity" said Mr.. Iglehart. In
speaking OF conditions In that country.
duction and development OF her natural
resources which have grown out of the
necessities of war. In common with
many of the other nations OF Latin
America, Peru was thrown more or less
upon her own resources and was forced
as something of a defensive measure to
develop her own industries to supply the
demands of her people.
This Is especially true OF the agri-
cultural and mineral resources of the
republic. To-day sugar. cotton. copper,
silver. leather and wool rank high in
value among the nations commodities
and follow in Importance the order
named. During the war period all Of
these products have been bringing ex-
ceptionally high prices and with the
possible exception of coffee have shown
little disposition to decline in price.
las is natural the high prices which
have existed for most OF the products OF
the country have resulted in greatly In

editor of the Popular Science Monthly,
made the following statement few
days ago: Luckily for mankind ma
ture deposited millions OF tons Of nitro
gen in the form OF Chilean saltpeter
nitrate OF sodal behind a plateau 5000
feet above the sea level. dreary,
parched. almost rainless strip OF land,
a veritable desert. For nearly CEN
fury that Chilean waste has been
priceless possession OF civilization. 1t
has stood between us and starvation.
Upon it the farmers of Europe and
America have been almost entirely de-
pendant for nearly century, and with
them host of Industries as we'll as
grasping empires that have expanded
their dominions by means OF gun
powder. nitroglyCerine and TINT. The
power Of waging war and the power
Of producing crops TO feed whole
population; the power OF developing es-
sential industries have all been depend
ert on Chile. What would happen II
the ports of that country were block
AIDED? The great German chemist os-
valid wrote some years before the Euro
pean conflict; III to-day a great war
should break out between two great
Powers. OF which one were to prevent
the export of saltpeter from the few
ports OF chile. II would thereby make
I, impossible for the enemy 20 continue
longer than its ammunition supply
would last"
From the statement cited above, the
reader can easily appreciate the i'm
portance OF the Chilean nitrate indus
try.
The Government Of Chile owns tho
nitrate lands. but from time to time
offers certain parcels for sale at public
auction. In the sale of 1917 the land
was offered at minimum OF Sc 97l.215
national gold and from the sale $1s,-
'23.2l5 was received. The American
capitalist can purchase at the sale OF
nitrate deposits whenever desired. The
most important American nitrate firm
in Chile Is du Font de NemourE The
greatest part Of tho nitrate lands is In
the hands of Chilean and English capt.
talists.
Chile has the most extensive Iron de-
posts In the world. The Bethlehem
Steel Company has taken leases on the
deposits Of III Toto, which were the
property OF the blast furnaces OF Corral
tChile); furnaces which were being de-
veloped according to the method of
Proudhon, but which had to ba shut
down after a years work In Septem-
DER 1917, n bill was presented before
Congress asking the protection of the
Government for the iron Industry In
Chile upon the basis OF the develop
ments OF the plant NJ Corral.
Chile has coal district virtually I'm
explored but recognized as being ex-
traordlnar'ly rich The mines being
worked produce about 9 400, 900 tons ner
year, which are not sufficient to supply
the home needs. In 1917 Chile imported
coal and other fuel to the amount of
SEA, o0e.42s Chilean gold.
Copper is another ranch OF the min.

how lofty and sincere IL the spirit OF
justice that animates those two coun-
tries of the South.
Passing on to definite information
we are going TO give some statistical
data in connection with the commerce
OF Chile in 1917, as shown in her sta
tistics of 1915. stating beforehand that
during the year which has just passed
the figures to be cited undoubtedly have
greatly increased.

Before the European war. that is to
say. in 1918. the United States occupied
third place in the scale OF Chilean i'm
ports In the following order Great Brit
ain, Germany, United States, France,
Belgium. Peru, &c.
In 1917 the order was reversed as fol-.
lows: United States. Great Britain Peru,
Argentine Republic. India. France, &C.
As can be seen the war worked a COM
plete upheaval in tho foregoing scale,
the United States substituting Great
Britain and Germany as the leading pro-
wider Of Chile.
In 1913, Chile made purchases in the
United States amounting to S51,03S,790
chilean gold in 1916. 500. 40s.O99; In
1917. Sl74.06S.04l. These last figures
advanced even more In 1918. but we do
not yet know exactly what that sum is,
The exports of Chile 10 the United
States in 1915 had value OF s252.473.-
500, and in 1917, s4@4,674.255. that is
showing an increase in one year OF
$172.2O0.6S6 Chilean gold.
The countries to which Chile exported
In 1917, In their order OF importance are
as follows: United States. Great Britain,
France, Argentina. Italy. Japan. sc.
This vast difference Is due in large
bart to the enormous purchases OF nitrate
made by the United States after she de-
cared war upon Germany. Before the
war, the largest proportion OF Chilean
nitrate was purchased BY Germany. as
It was the Germans who mostly appre-
ciated the value of this product as a fer
tilizer When the war began the Ger
mans had a stock of 100000 tons OF
Chilean nitrate and "hen Antwerp fell
they took possession OF 200 OO0 more
tons, precious necessity for the manu-
facture OF munitions The public al
ready knows that the nitrate of Chile
furnished the Allies throughout the war
with the raw material for their explo-
slves.
