<s ADIE has made up its mind TO
@ be equal TO the opportunities
"a 4 with which the after he-war
world abounds. We shall hear
of Cadiz in many ways, says The
Christian Science Monitor. 1t has taken
note of the new determination of the
northern ports such as Vigo, Bilbao
and some others, and of OpOrtO of the
Portuguese. to make a big forward
movement, and, Spain generally being
in an advantageous position in the
matter of maritime commerce, it con-
ceiveS a more brilliant future opening
out for it in the new world conditions
than ever it had dreamed of. Nigo,
with the connivance of the Americans,
it is understood, is about to make
strong bid for the carrying trade with
North America. and as the main port
of entry into Europe from the upper
half of the American continent.
Hut Cadiz has had an advantage in
the past with regard to the South,
ano hopes not only to maintain it, but
to strengthen it,, She has been, in
effect, a great receiving and distribut-
ing center, dealing with the South
American states, and spreading the
goods she received over Portugal and
all Spain. She has fourished, and she
has done well by herself in every way.
But with Cadiz as with practically
every other place in Spain, there has
in modern times been decline and
recovery. 1t is believed now that the
recovery will be great.
The New Movements.
CadiZ starts the new period with
fine new equipment in the matter OF
her harhor. The new Reina Victoria
quay will astonish the commercial men
and travellers who go there after
long absence The San Felipe break
water has been extended, and there
have been dredging and widening oper-
atoms. so that capacity and accom-
mediation are now much greater than
they used to be. Big liners may now
berth themselves well, and as soon
as they are hitched up they will find
the newest electric travelling cranes
and all the most up-todate port APP
planes in operation.
So Cadiz bids the traders come, and
with Vigo, Seville, Bilbao and BARGE
Iona it helps Spain to make a new
challenge to the world in maritime
matters. and this she most certainly
does. No country has such a fine sea
board and one so advantageonsly sit
uattd. The Spaniards have thought of
the maritime possibilities of their
country before now, but they are think
ing of it intensely in the new condi-
ton of the world economics. Already
far more ships are calling at Cadiz
thar before the peace-though these
mere callers do not amount to much.
