Sec son Of THE Sun.
A very interesting note for those who
are Interested in the development OF
commercial relations with Latin America
is the observance Of the extraordinary
increase OF the United States trade with
the Republic OF Chile. which is one of
the three countries whose material and
political prosperity is recognized
throughout the world. Argentina,
Brazil and Chile are. as it is we'll
known, the three South American Pow
ers that have opened the road for the
peace and greatness OF the Latin con-
tinent by means of the solidlty of their
institutions, their reliability in their
financial obligations and their internal
organization.
A country whose Constitution has been
in force without interruption since 1898.
and which for the last century has mer-
tied the financial credit OF Europe with
out ever having suspended payment OF
interest. is a country that should at
tract the attention of tho American capt.
talist at this time when II is desra BILE
to retain the South American trade and
establish there new industrial enter
prises
The political solidty OF a country Is
the prime factor in the calculations of
the American investor This factor from
the very start eliminates the preoccupa-
ton OF having to protect our interests
against revolutionary disturbances and
abusive measures OF an INSCRIPTIONS

appreciate the value Of a good organi-
zation, not for itself alone, but also be-
cause she deFires to attract and bring
TO her midst large capital for the de-
velopment of her great riches.
Chile is not a country of abusive
concessions. There, Adventures will
find no field. There has never been an
administration capable OF transacting
any business involving men OF bad
faith. However. Chile leaves her doors
open to honorable enterprise without
any limitation.
AS well ordered people she works
continually for the Pan-American Union
and for the amicabe settlement OF in

the nations that has submitted most Of
her own matters to arbitration for

no other nation In the world accepted
the arbitration and for which no one

as example her border dispute with

disagreement, sho lost tho greater part

decision of the English arbitrators.

the frontier Of both countries. is an

of eternal peace and as a solemn seal

have been reused from their lethargy
and development activities are now 60

the increase In value of its products
and an active demand for them the
prosperity Of the entire nation has in
creased.
"As a result OF the restrictions on
shipping which prohibited the importa-
ton into the country OF many OF the
products for which Peru had relied on
outside sources, little activity was shown
In this regard. On the contrary there
was an active demand for her products.

facture Of war materials, As result.

shown in development Of the mineral re-
sources Of Peru. Copper and silver in
terests are active and the development
Of the petroleum fields In the north Is
being undertaken on an increasingly
larger scale.
The most promising feature OF Peru's
economic strength said Mr.. Iglehart,
is the even distribution of the nations
wealth. The prosperity lie general and
is confined to no particular class and
as result the people of Peru are in
better condition financially than ever
before
'Tn speaking of Peru's new develop
ment. cotton has played an important
part An important feature In connec-
ton with this product is that Peru grows
many qualities of cotton, all OF which
are superior to the best we can grow In
this country. There was an active de-
mand for Peruvian cotton during the
war, much of which went into the manu-
facture Of war materials, especially for
the fabric OF which airplaRe wings, are
made. The demand for Peruvian cotton
for this particular purpose. however, no
longer exists and other markets must
BIO found. Large quantities Of the long
staple variety have been exported and
compares favorably with the Egyptian
product.
'In common with most OF the other
republics Of Latin America, Peru Is
now especially interested in her future
trade relations with the United States
Publicity Of every sort will probably
play an important part in bringing to a
better understanding the people OF the
United States and the Latin American
republics. Educational advertising in
the newspapers OF this country seems
to be an excellent medium in this re-
gard, and will no doubt serve the double
purpose of informing business men Of
the United States on trade conditions
In South America for both investment
and other business purposes"
