No work has been productive of
better results than that of the naval

A prominent Democratic newspaper
publishes long news dispatch from
Buenos Aires saying that the United
States is losing trade in South Amer
lea. Among other things, the dis
patch says that at least a score of
ships loading for South America are
idling in United States harbors and
that month after month has passed
and there have been no ships, nothing
except words" America has taken a
back seat and competitors grabbing
all the trade. Well. what else could
you expect under an administration
that has fallen down in almost every
instance where American interests
are at stake? But why didn't the
Democratic press acknowledge the
facts before the recent election?
