SANTIAGO. April 1.-The South
American countries will be commercial

they are not able to avail themselves of

ing newspaper in an editorial in which it
asserts American goods Ordinarily are

The paper says the war permitted the
United States to enter into commercial
relations with the South Americans, who,
by force of necessity, were obliged To ac-
cept Americas strange systems. dlamet-
rically opposed to those that had been
used by the great producing nations of the
old world" 1t is well known, the paper
declares. that the methods employed by
the North American exporter differ
notably from those followed by the export
crs Of Great Britain and above all by
Germany.
The American goods. apart from being
ordinarily of inferior quality. are costly.

are badly packed. This results in heavy
losses. Moreover. the Americans do not

credit it is on terms little acceptable.
