mos algunas observaciones que
suponemes Sc tendran en- cuenta.
Hay las razas anglo-sajonas y
las razas latinas. En- nuestro
concepto, nj la raza anglo-sajona
es una raza inferior la raza
latina, nj la raza latina es una
raza superior a la raza anglo
sajona.
La raza anglo-sajona habita
generalmente, las zonas fr1as, y
estas le dan una superioridad
muscular q. no puede tener la ra-
"a latina bajo ell dominic de las
zonas templadas. La raza latina,
obedeciendo las condolences del
china, a la constante exaltaci0n
de su sol ardiente, a la embria-
guez de su espfritu, eterno
volcan de emociones, desarrolla
una potencialidad nerviosa que
no tiene la raza anglo-sajona,
raza fria y calculadora de suyo,
La bruma, ell casi constante in
vierno de los pafses del Norte
habitados por la raza anglo
sajona, da esa raza una poesia
Y una filosoffa cuya vaguedad
produce EN- los espfritus cierta
ofuscaci6n que no es la mas pro
pia para, concebir la verdad de
la vida, para tener la vision
exacta de La vida, de 10 que debe
ser la vida. La raza latina, ro-
deada de sol y. de colores, des-
lumbrada por la diafanidad de
sus cielos nenos, por ell dia de
rosas de rayos y por la noche de
r6cfo de estrellas, enyuelta en- ell
cinturon luminoso de sus tijOs, y
halagueiios horizOntes, We la vida
clara V su vision es la verdadera
vision que debieran tener las
razas que poseyendo ell sol, que
es ell mejor de los tesoros, tesoro
envidiado por los rubios lobeznos
del Norte, arrastran su vida en-
una lucha de afanes y egoismos,
pOr querer imitar a otras razas q.
no tienen mas sol que ell del dollar
Y cuyo concepto de la vida es un
concepttto5 ipt1fopio de sus nieblas y
sus nostalgias, pero nunca de
nuestros viyos soles nj de nues-
{. ma f - =
tras claras filosoffas.
Imaginense nuestros lectores
las miserias de Londres, New

invierno; el desamparo, la incle-

not likely that they Will be moved unless
the coal strike becomes alarming. The
situation in Gary has become very quiet
and many are of the opinion that the
troops will not be needed very much
longer. The officers and enlisted men
say that they have had a very pleasant
stay in the city and will dislike very
much to leave when called away.

A you reading The Times1
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-09-05
PRINGIE BROS. COMPANY, EdgertOn, Wisconsin

THE trade balance in favor of the
United States is growing rapidly For
the year 1919 it is four billions, as COM
pared with one billion in 1915. During
the five year period just closed we sold
goods to foreign countries for the sum
of q billion dollars, and the trade bal
ance in our favor is about Is billion dol
lars. Before the war we exported for
500 million dollars more than we I'M
ported, but this balance was more than
offset by the money this country had
to pay for foreign ships and insurance
This condition is now so changed as to
make the u. S. the greatest creditor
in the world. Only the interest due US
by foreign countries amounts to one
billion dollars annually. While these
facts are interesting, they also involve
other facts not to be overlooked. 1t
must be borne in mind that if Europe
is going to pay aer debt to us, she
must do it in goods. To produce goods
she must have more money, and we
must furnish the largest share of it.
There are some prominent financiers in
this country, and leading among them
is Frank Vanderlip of New York, who
view with some apprehension the fact
that our country through the late war
has become involved in European
finances to degree that the way out
of the tangle may be more difficult
than most people have any idea of.
