Mr.. Barrett's Comments.
"The widespread and rapidly grow
ing interest in pan-American COM
merce which has manifested itself 30
noticeably since the close of the war,
the necessity and advantage Of a
frank and full exchange Of views on
every phase OF pan-American trade
complished by the first pan-American
commercial conference, held in Feb
ruary, 1911" said Director General
Barrett, in commenting on the con-
ference, rs the reason why the gov
erning board of the Pan-American
Union on April 9 voted unanimously
to have called together the confer
ence which meets Tuesday. There is
much constructive work ahead to be
done. The threads of practical pan
Americanism, which were broken by
the war. must be taken up and tied
again. and the trade expansion be-
tween the United States and the coun-
tries OF Latin America must continue
1t 10 the purpose of this conference to
promote that worthy object"
John Joy Edison has been officially
designated by the Commissioners to
represent the District of Columbia at

Things Needed to Be Done.
Practical means toward the end of

ablest minds of the country are
wrestling with the problems involved.
The cream of their findings are brief
ly told: The national Congress should
pass bill drawn along the lines of
the Smith Bankhead proposal The
federal machinery for spreading the
doctrines of Americanism .should be
simp1ifed and unified. The several
states should. through their legis-
latures. affirm or reaffirm their anx-
fety to cooperate with the national
government in the work and provide
within their respective borders the
agencies necessary for effective CO.
operation. And the citizens of the
land. awakened to an appreciation of
their opportunities, should further
the high aims of Americanism by
| voice and deed. So say those who
have weighed the difficulties and the
opportunities, who have sensed pres
ent dangers and visioned future Sc

Made a Vice Royalty.

The new Spanish domain was gov
erned by him until his death in 1871.
He was succeeded by Don Cristobal de
Vacca, who. governed for three years,
when the vice royalty of Peru was Gre
ated. Don Blasco Nunnez Vulla was the
first victory. and his jurisdiction at that
time extended over the entire continent
Of South America, but the territory was
later divided into three vice royalties.
From then on, until the country OBJ
tanned independence. forty viceroys in
succession ruled the domain. The early
attempts at independence, which broke
out in 1910. were repressed by Spain
with the greatest severity.
San Martin, the famous Argentine
general and patriot. went to the aid of
the Peruvians in 1920. Admiral Lord
Cochrane assisted him greatly in the
fight for freedom. On July 9, 1921, San
Martin made his trfumphal entrance into
Lima, and nine days later the independ-
ence of Peru was formally declared. Dom
Jose de In Riva Aguero was inaugural
ed hrst president Of the republic, Febru-
|ary 20, 1923.

Copper is especially abundant and
now occupies first place in the min
eral production Of the country. Ac-
cording to the statistics the annual
mineral production in Peru IL worth
approximately $25.000.000. In 1916 it
reached $42,000.000.
Where Peru's Trade Goes.
The value of all Peruvian foreign
trade in 1915 was $122.5ss.o 900. of
which $s0.389,500 constituted exports
and $42,2o0.000 imports. OF the latter
more than one-haff came from the
United States and one:seventh from
the United Kingdom. Regarding
Peru's exports. more than 50 per cent
came to the United States and IL per
cent to the United Kintdom. In 1915
the United Kingdom had the lions
share of this business. but since that
time Perus exports to the United
States have increased greatly in ex-
cess Of 200 per cent: whereas exports
to the United Kingdom have de-
creased more than 10 per cent.
During the same period the impor-
tatfon Of American goods in Peru has
increased more than 200 per cent. the
principal articles being dry goods and
miscellaneous textile articles. shoes,
foodstufIs and condiments, manufac-
tured cotton goods. metals. ships

Another important industry in certain
sections Of Peru. principally the Cu.co

plant from which medicinal cocaine is
obtained. Tobacco, ramia, maize, wheat
and other cereals and vegetables are
grown more or less extensively. There

ing apparel. railway engines. iron
manufactures and electrical appar-
atus. The principal articles exported
by Peru are minerals. sugar, rubber,
cotton. wool, guano, straw hats and
petroleum.
The petroleum industry in Peru is
rapidly growing in wealth and promi-
nence. Already Peru is fast overtak-
ing Japan as the eighth oil produc-
ing country in the world. As in vari-
Gus other sections the oil wells are
generally near the seashore. which
fact makes the marketing Of the oil
most convenient.
Irrigating Dry Lands.
Peru is especially anxious to increase
Its agriculture. With this object in view
many inducements are beirg offered by
the government. The latter is now
spending several millions Of dollars in
making things grow in the vast dry' bar.
ren-looking territories along the coast.
To carry out completely the govern
ments irrigation program will require
tho spending Of many more millions,
and in this particular there is every
evidence that the United States will be
the nation to profit by supplying the
necessary capital and materials.
The leading agricultural crops in Peru
are sugar. cotton and rice, all OF which
are being raised moro or less by the
aid Of irrigation.
More than two hundred thousand acres
situated chiefly in the coast regions
are devoted to the growing Of sugar
cane. The average annual crop is esti-
mated at $4,000 tons, the majority Of
which is exported largely to England
and Chile for refining.
An exceptionally high grade of cot
ton IL grown in Peru. principally in the
Piura district. Tho pecniarities Of soil
ana climate, Tor which this narrow belt
Of coastland is noted, are credited with
being responsible for the high, quality
Of this product. 1t has been demon
strated that five good crops may be OBJ
tained from one planting. the third year
representing the maximum yield. There
are numerous well equipped factories in
the republic for the manufacturing of
cotton articles.
