resto de Europa. Sin haber per-
dido ninguno de sus hijos en- la
guerra, Espana Sc encuentra aho
ra con SUI poblacion intacta, con
mas trabajadores, en- efecto, de
los que en- realidad necesita. Exis
tie una gran corriente emigrato-
ria hacia America; pero con ell
nuevo desarrollo de las indus
trias, especialmente de la de mi
nerfa, pronto Sc necesitaran ALI
Etodos esos brazos.
Los recursos inexplotados del
pals pueden continuar siendo
enormes durante rnuchlsimos
amos, debido a que los uenerps.de
materias primas son inagotables.
Las grandes oportunidades que
ofrece Espafia en- estos momen-
tos son aquellas que pueden ser
mejor manejadas por grandes
organizaciones industriales con
ilimitado respaldo, y ring1n pals
del mudo las ofrece hoy en- tan
vasta escala. Con direction tee
MICA y capital lfquido esas opor-
tunidades Sc pueden transformer
en- una realidad esplendida.
Auge de los BancOs
La mejor indication de la 81
tuaci6n financiera del pals, es la
que Sc desprende de la emission
del 1ltimo emprestito, efectuado
para refundir emprestitos va ven
cidos, y para cubrir ciertas obi
gaciones. Ell nuevo emprestito
fue sobrepasado por la oferta de
dinero en- cinco tantos, y uno de
los grandes bancos de Barcelona
Iofreci6 tomarlo integramente. Ell
pals esta atiborrado de dinero,
pero no ha quedado, a semejan-
"a de Grecia y de otros pa1ses,
escaso de proyecciones y de ma
terias primas por haberlas cam
biado por orc. Las condolences
de los Bancos pueden juzgarse
por las declaraciones oficiales del
Banco de Espaiia, ell cual tiene ell
privilegio exclusive de emission.
En- enero de este ano ell Banco,
con un capital de 30.000,000 de
pesos Y una reserva de Sc Milo
mes tenia en- sus cajas orc por
valor de 443.699, 900 de pesos.
Els claro que los. exportadores
norteamericanos tienen va esta-
blecido un buen mercado en- Es-
pana. Desde los principles de
1917 los Estados Unidos Sc han
suplido de Espafia de muchos ar
ticulos, y las transacciones ha-
brian sido mayores, de compra
y venta, 81 las facilidades de la
navegacion hubieran sido tam
bien mayores.

nimiento de la paz los negocios

calRntes territories, dicho pals
espera ell desarrollo de las acti-
vidades que 10 restauran a su pa

Belgica, como resultado de la de

que necesita ser completamente

Importancia de Vigo

Vigo, a semejanza de Cadiz,
Barcelona, Bilbao y Santander,
es un puerto libre, sabiamente
administrado y con todo racio-
nal privilegio extendido al conner
|cio del mundo. Otro proyecto
realmente irnportante, que tam
.bien parece de realization en- un
future proximo, es el de organi-
zar una Inca recta a traves de
EspaIia, que partiendo de Dax,
en- el sur, de Francia, vaya a Al
geciras, cerca de Gibraltar. Es-
ia Inca esta llamada a serVir de
apoyo a dos inmensos proyectos:
la Inca recta de Paris a -Dakar,
en- el extreme oeste del conti-
nente africano, y la Inca recta
|inglesa de Londres Cape Town.
La organization de la Inca
francesa en- Africa y el t1nel ba-
|io ell estrecho de Gibraltar, pom
dra a Buenos Aires y a Rio de
Janeiro diez dlas mas cerca de
Paris que de norteamerica. Las
|rutas de- estas dos llneas esta-
ran arregladas de tai manera
que la energ1a electrical pueda ser
aprovechada economicamente y
el equipo mas moderno sera en-
Ipleado en- elias.
Espana tiene una poblaci6n
aproximada de la quinta parte
de Ia de los Estados Unidos. De
estos % millones la mayoria son
moradores rurales. Hay dos
Iciudades con una poblaci0n GER
cana al million de habitantes. Bar
celona, la gran capital industrial
y el centro de los. negocios, y
Madrid, la capital politica.
Espa1a esta en- tai situacion,
tanto economical como polltica,
que sus relaciones con los yeci-
NOS nunca seran bastante estre-
|chas; pero en- 10 que Sc relacio-
ma con los Estados Unidos y con
Sur America, puede decirse que
Espana presenta una vision de
prosperidad que promote un de-
sarrollo intense en- los amos We
nideros. Ell espiritu de los Cor
ties, Ponce de Leon, De Soto, Ger
vantes y Catalina de Arag6n es
hoy comun en- Espafia, y Sc ini-
cia TN resurgimiento de la ener-
g1a nacional que asegura para
los espanoles un puesto en- el

THE price of cotton will probably
4 advance to 40 or 45 cents. 1t

farmers are wise in selling as fast
as the staple comes from gin in
stead of waiting and taking chances.
1t may be December before it goes
much higher, and many a grower will
have cotton. on hand then to reap the
benefit of the top level. In the mean
time today's prices will pay hand
some profit. The cotton farmers will
get out of debt and will start into
the new year more prosperous than
ever.
The 1919 crop will not exceed
10,500,O 900 bales, and Alabama's har-
vest will scarcely total 100000 bales.
Economists are urging a big acre
age in 1920. While it is true that the
world is hungry for cotton, it must
be kept in mind that the spindles
now are not sufficient to work up a
bumper crop. Better produce 12,000,-
900 bales next year and get big
price than raise a 10000, 000-bale
crop and get an Improbable price.
The south's policy should continue
to be crop diversification. 1t must
ilesrn to feed itself. Alabama will,
without doubt, pursue that policy.
