COOP WILL IN COLOMBIA.

a recent meeting in New York, al
tended by people interested in de-
velaplng Colombia's markets. called
foy.s striking testimony to the good
effect. the ratification Of the Colon
bian treaty is having in business
way. All OF the. s25.oeo.eoo paid is
10 be spent on public works. and it
waH serve as the basis Of perhaps
s1oo.eos.o0s Of credit for building
railroads and highways and making
river and harbor. Improvements. This
will help to open un Clombian re-
sources to American development,
and The new friendliness felt toward
Americans by the natives will pro-
mote the good work.
The extent of those resources has
never been appreciated in this coun-
try. Says Earl Harding. head OF the
Colombian Commercial corporation:
the big American Oil companies are
preparing TO spend eventually several
hundred million dollars in pipe lines,
Fe6peries and drilling operations;
that American packers have gone into
the country TO tap its vast plains
where cattle still run wild; that the
platinnn supply Of the world outside
of Russia comes from there. also the
principal emerald supply; that there
are untouched mountains OF copper,
fin. iron and great deposits Of exec
lent coal almost at the door Of the
Panama Canal; that about $4,000. 900
a year OF the worlds finest coffee
comes from Colombia-then we begin
TO- realize what a business bet We
have been overlooking and what a
good investment is this decision to pay
st last a debt long overdue"
All this is not necessarily praise
worthy reason. wt: the lons-deferred
payment should have been made. The
primary reason was. or should have
bsen,. moral. But here is renewed
evidence that ,sfsuareness and d cency
pay financially in international rela-
tso1fs. as they do in private business
relations.

milk, to brush the teeth regularly

this system where all is a joyous
game, than under the old method.
