Ianation Is Significant Reminder Of
His World Conference Purposes
THE people of the United States are con-

in Washington in very different mood from
that in which they regarded the Versailles
| Conference.
Something hns happened in tho meantime

| disregard of which always brings confusion
| upon the world
In 1918 men were thinking of taking
vengeance upon Germany. One or two
clear headed men looked into the long future
and warned the conference that peace of
vengeance would SOW the seed Of future
wars, for vengeance is fccund and breeds
with terrible rupidity. because Of lack Of
spiritual insight in Versailles. Europe is
still torn with the disputes about a division
of the spOiS and about the best way to make
vengeance effective.
But in the Unitcl States. at any rate.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES 1T
America Is Handicapped in Dealing
With Foreigners Because Of In
ability to Get Another's
Point of View
by SARAH ID. LOVVRIE

I WAS talking with n young Italian friend
l. of mine not long ago about his recent
trip to South America on business for an
American firm in New York He had been
very successful and been promptly promoted
on his return to this country TO n sort of
agency at large to deal with foreigners, both
on this side of the Atlantic and in Europe.
lie gave me an "cyC opener as to why our
trade in South America has perhaps held
fire a little.
One thinks Of Americans rs n particu-
larly adaptable race. and, compared with the
English, no doubt we 2Te but we are neither
50 painStaking rs the Germans about learn
ing the needs Of possible customers and
mechanically manufacturing goods to meet
those needs. nor are we so iHcilc rs the
Southern European races about meeting our
prospective buyers half way in matters of
social custom and business processes.
The young American Italian was all en-
thuSiaHm for our business methods.
They arc perfect and exact and sys-
temGtiacd,' said he admiringly. But II
the other man does not understand them
or II he prefers his customary way. the
Americans will not take the trouble to do
1t that way or bother to go through all the
leading up TO a bargain made in the foreign
way. Then, also in America it is an adj
vantage to n man If he is known to in
variably tell the truth; but there arc coun-
tries, you know. where he gets a bigger job
IL it is known that he can tell lie WE'LL
lie laughed uCprecatingly and excused That
last by explaining that as 50 per cent of the
population in those countries had too little
to live upon, and each tried TO snatch the
little by being smarter and more unscrupu-
lous than his ncighbOrS. it followed that
lying and even cheating was nm obvious
way of getting bread for the children. and
as some forms Of deception were in constant
practice by great numbers Of the inhabitants.
every man was on his guard. Hence few
were really deceived, let alone cheated or
robbed, 10 a serious extent among the ma
tivCs. And no one was judged with the
harshness and disdain that such sins in
vovc here.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-11-02

ETllE Americans had grown 50 accustomed
= to tranSacting large part of their bust
ness on the word Of their clientele thHt they
were at first betrayed into over confidence
and then into over suspicion. by way Of re-
action from their first bout with foreign
customer that had quite another code for
business than that of friendship. And, too.
Americans. having found these foreigners
ready TO take advantage might turn brutal
under the experience, and in extracting an
eye for an eye or tooth for n tooth they
lnrEcd the "uGvty and pOlitcncss Of their
customer, so that they actually make an
enemy by sheer rude contempt where they
might have made n buyer.
For ono Of the strange rules Of the for
CiCn game is that if you are beaten by
still greater adept mt dccciying. You admire
instead of dcspiSc your triumphant uutngo-
mist. The Americans even the unscrupulouS
ones, do not get hat point and are very poor
losers if the rules they are accustomed to
arc Tempered with or ignored.
Perhaps chat explains why in many in
stances in South Am"rica the agents for
business firms Of the United States are not
American born and are often foreigners.
