ing In South America Is the weakest
link in our chain of endeavor. A mer-
chant related to me an incident which
illustrates this point He received an
elegantly made up booklet. accompanied
by o letter--both in Spanish-asking him
to take up the line which the booklet
illustrated. He read both enclosures
then he wrote the American manufac-
turer in English:
Your communications IN an unknown
dialect have been received and their hui
NOR appeals to US. II you will be 50
kind as to send us a translation OF the
same either In Spanish or in English
We will have much pleasure In reading
them"
Some of the TRANSACTIONS which have
been used for advertising purposes-in
newspapers, periodicals, catalogues. let
tors and enclosures-have been pathetic
They have been made either by men who
knew English badly and Spanish pho
netically or by men who knew Spanish
as a speaking language. Engush a. an
ambition. and the line Of which they
wrote-not at all
GOOD spanish Is applicable 10 any Of
the Spanish speaking countries Of South
America. but It always must b borne
In mind that the Spanish OF South
America is not Castflian. II 10 Spanish
with colloquiaiisms that have become
part OF the language Certain express
sions that are harmless and social In
Chile have q dynamic meaning In the
Argentine.
/ recall q poster advertising a popu-
lar motion picture star In an equally
popular picture that was shown in Chile.
The poster had been done into Spanish
in the United States. The emphasized
word on the poster meant something In
Chile that Il did not mean In polite Cas-
lillian circles, so 4 white strip Of paper
was pasted over Il and a substitute word
was used. This could have been avoided
had the TRANSLATION been made more
carefully, or had Il been vised by some
one with q knowledge OF Chilean coll
loquialisma
But aside from preparing copy with
care, having beforehand a knowledge Of
the country to which you are going to
appeal and making certain that you are
saying in Spanish what you have said In
your English text, there IL little mystery
in advertising IN South America Amer
lean agencies with foreign connections
are becoming better equipped every day
to handle American advertising IN South
America In the proper way. II Is q
matter though that should be handled
only by experts. not by tyros.

GOMPERS DENIES
MEXICAN INTRIGUE
American Federation Of Labor
Not Aiding Any Revolu-
tionary Faction.

Declaring that II is neither attempt
ing to intervene In Mexican politics nor
aiding the revolutionary movements fos-
tered by villa and Angeles, the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor has issued
circular which It has distributed pro-
fusely throughout the Republic Of Mex
leo 30 that the people may have the
facts In regard to the rumors that II
was trying to NEEDLE in Mexican affairs.
The circular reads an followsi
~Rumors that agents OF Villa ana An
gefcs In Mexico have been permitted to
declare that the American Federation Of
Labor indorses the revolutionary move
ment headed by villa and Angeles
against the Government of Mexico hav-
ing reached Samuel Gompers, president
OF the federation. he has been forced to
make the following statement emphati-
cally denying that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has any relations with
any revolutionary faction or that II en-
courages the political ambitions Of villa
and Angeles"
1T has come to my knowledge that
certain members Of the group OF Mexi-
cans residing in the United States known
as the Alianxa Liberal Msxicana and
who claim to have relations with the
revolutionary movement headed by villa
and Angeles against the Mexican Gov
eminent have declared that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor encourages Its
political ambitions.
"Also have been Informed that IN
order to obtain the aid of Mexican work
men agents OF villa and Angeles have
made use OF the name of the American
Federation Of Labor. II Is absolutely
false that the American Federation of
Labor has any relations with these per-
sons or that It aids in any way the po-
litical desires of Villa and Angeles or
any other faction In Mexico.
'"To permit this report to spread with
cut being refuted would undoubtedly
give way TO wrong Interpretations on
the part Of Mexican worlzmen. and the
impression created would no doubt be
an obstacle to the establishment OF a
complete understanding between the
worirmen Of both nations.
mo Individual. no group Of individuals
has the right to use tho name OF the
American Federation of Labor in that
character of propaganda.
