POSTWAR ACTIVITY
IN SOUTH AMERICA
Natives on Alert for Boom as
Well as Trade Seekers.

Lack OF shipping accommodation,
which prevented the export of goods had
serious effect on numerous industries
in South America during the war, al
though some lines did not suffer so
much as would have been expected in
the unusual circumstances with the
end OF hos;ilities work has gone on fast
in all the republics in anticipation OF the
expected boom, which in many districts
has been partly realized.
American exporters are making their
best efforts to pront from the new con-
ditions. which can be said also OF nanu-
facturers in other countries. The poten-
tial wealth of South America ia realized
by all persons Interested In the trade OF
the republics and the making of mar
kets where no markets now exist is
looked on only as n matter of work
properly directed.
one OF the principal sufferers from the
war time conditions was the Colombia
National Railway Company, which would
have become bankrupt had not the CO.
lomhian Government gone TO its rescue
in providing the amounts needed TO pay

YOU have been doing to cheer UP our

a contributor TO THE Sun Tobacco Fund,
"and I certainly think you ought to con-
tlnue to send this solace OF tobacco until
all our boys are home. My contribu-
ton has to be small and 7 wish I could
do moro to help these brave men who
were willing to give their lives for us
and their country
This recent communication is but one
of many which the fund receives. show
ing what Is exhibited in many other
ways, that tho interest in the work OF
THE SuN Tobacco Fund ls as keen
emong readers az ever II was. but with
regret II may be stated that the donors
past and prospective rather seem to reel
that the biz work OF the fund has been
accomplished. Perhaps they are right
in a sense. as they would be right in
saying that the big work of the war has
been accomplished. But the smoke fund
liz forced to remind them that the regi-
ments now In Germany made UP OF our
soldiers did not lose their tobacco taste
with the eigning OF the armistice. and
may not lose ii when the articles OF
peace are drawn up and accepted. Its
work was to supply the American SOL
diers abroad with tobacco. and an enor
nous number Of them are to-day abroad
with no expectation OF soon coming
home.
Is it the part OF gutter to cease
taking an interest in these men because
they are no longer In trenches and un-
der fire? Nobody dislkes 10 use strong
language more than THE Sun Tobacco
Fund. one reason being that 1t believes
that very little Is ever accomplished by
such use. but It would be glad to bring
home to the donors the urgent need OF
our men for tobacco and persuade them
that their contributions will do as much
gcoG now as at any time in the eighty
six weeks that 1t has been working.
There is no tobacco in Germany that our
soldiers can smoke. and yet they need
smoaes. II TIE SIN Tobacco Fund does
not furnish the tobacco. SO meagre are
other sources OF supply. the men are

German influence Is Scented.

German influence is susnec;ed. It Is
said in the controversy between the
Primitive Gas Company, a British owned
COZ Germ, and the municipality Of Buenos
Ayres. Difficulties first arose over the
non payment OF the municipal!ty's gas
bin Subsequently the company asked
for permission TO raise It's rates In order
to enable IL TO meet the greatly in
creased charges for fuel. which have
caused heavy losses 10 the company.
IT was arranged that this and other
matters should he referred to arbltra-
ton. The arbitration court decided in
favor of the company More than
twelve months, however. elapsed since
the award was given and the controversy
continued, with tn" money withheld.
Many circumstances 20 to confirm
this charge OF German influence, includ-
ing the grant Of n virtual monopoly Of
oil fuel TO the German electricity Com
pany. thereby preventing the English
companies from obtaining this class OF
fuel
