To-Day with the world war over there
Is better understanding between tho
Two continents Of North and South
America than ever before. Still we have
nuoh to learn. You know that America
poes not end at Panama. and that there
Is another continent further to the
south you have also heard of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Colombia You have
been told that South America Is the
continent of. unlimited opportunities
But perhaps you take these things for
Granted in vague and undetermined
form.
Do you know that the United States
rould At comfortably into one CBrazi)
nf the twenty-one Latin American re-
publics; or that Buenos Ayres has
larger population than Cleveland, Boston
or Philadelphia, and that It is growing
more rapidly than New York or Chi
cago?
Do you know that IN Magellan there
pre- packing houses moro up to date than
those OF Chicago, and that the meat OF
Hierra del Fuego could feed ,he millions
that are dying Of hunger in Europe to-
day.
Do you know that for our manufactur-
rrs for our capital, for our ideas. for
our literature, for our men there Is an
unlimited field in Latin America? There
the colossal continent Is saying for who
ever wishes TO hear. that 1t has decided
TO be called the Continent Of the Twen-
tieth Century"
eouth's Shouts Arc Needed.
Are we lending deaf ears to this shout
coming from the South? No. To-day. al
most like magic teaching OF Spanish has
been begun in hundreds of schools and
colleges in this country. Eminent pro-
fessors, writer's and sociologists are
writing and talking about the Latin
American continent
There is an institution IN New York
which is an aid TO faithful and mutual
understanding between Anglo Saxon and
Latin American. This is the South
American Publishing Company, which
publishes two magazines, one In English
tho South Anertcor, and another in
Spanish, Ell Norte Americana. The first
reflects his national life for the Latin
American reader: the second interprets
American life for the reader OF the other
continent Both magazines are illus
trated and are written in a dIgnified and
attracting way. Men OF letters OF both
continents read these magazines as n
means OF keeping themselves, Informed
OF the strenuous life OF the two con-
tinents 81.
Don't you think Il a marvellous .S,--
that in a small village on the top Of the
Chile. there has sprung up suddenly
city Of twenty thousand inhabitants
where from an ore which contains only 2
per cent. fine copper are produced one
hundred tons OF electrolytic copper every
day, with the assurance that this pro-
duction is going to be multiplied in a
few years?
Quick Recovery From Quake.
Is IT not Interesting TO know that
when the horrible earthquake occurred
in Valparaiso, destroying almost COM
pletely a city OF about half a million
inha bitants. there was less disorder than
after our earthquake at san Francisco,
and that the city was rebuilt, so TO say,
almost with the rapidity with which one
would rearrange the flowers that had
fallen from a vase, making It much more
beautiful than before?
Is II not wonderful to know, now that
we have seen the world broken up by a
stupendous war. that large countries like
Argentina and Chile, when they have
some difficulties about their frontiers, In
stead OF raising Notifications on their
borders raised an image OF Christ, the
Inscription on which says that First the
Andes will be thrown down before the
friendship that exists between the two
sister countries be broken?
The South American Publishing Com
pany. conducted with the purpose OF serv-
ing the cause OF Pan-America, is the
work OF Wing B. Allen. who has in
creased the growth OF mutual compre-
hension and friendship between the
Americas.
