Visiting America First

President B. Singer of the American Con-
sular association contends that citizens of the
United States should get acquainted with Gen.
trail and South America before they spend their
money touring European countries. Not only
would it increase their general knowledge of
America, but it would also serve to cement COM
mercial, relations between the United States and
Latin-America, says President Singer.
Before the outbreak of the war, Germany en-
joyed prosperous business with Latin American
because she catered to the particular wants of
the people of. these countries, observed the bust
ness methods of the Latin-American merchants,
and was willing to extend long credit. During
the war, the Latin-Americans were forced to buy
in the United States because there were no other
markets where goods could be obtained.
Naturally we believed that we would hold
this new trade without much trouble but we did
not consider the American temperament.
Our commercial agents believed they could edu-
cate the merchant to our snappy and quick meth
DDS Of selling goods and collecting accounts. The
Latin-American merchants, however, preferred
their old, slow methods; and now European
countries, including Germany, are regaining the
trade without much effort, because they are will
ing to cater to the likes and temperaments of the
South American merchants.
President Singer says:
UNLESS we take quick action, England Ger
many and France will dominate the rich trade of
the in-Americans, even better than before the
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-04-12

war. Our mass production can find it's main
outlet today only in Latin America. We must
take in consideration that England is able to
produce her manufactured goods on basis of A
hours labor at $3.50, France at SO, Germany at
$3.50, and the United States at $50. To develop
this trade we must come in close contact with
the prospective customers of the South and Gen.
trail American republics"
One way of developing this friendly feeling,
President Singer maintains, is by abolition of the
passport requirements on the American CONT
nent.
"See America First would produce millions
places and scenic spots of their own continent
before they took long trips abroad. Trans
Atlantic steamship companies kept Europe be-
fore our minds eye so long that we forgot the
unexcelled scenery of our own country and the
matchless spots of beauty which nature has pre-
pared at home for our enjoyment and pleasure.
And so also with South America. Few of us
care to visit the South American republics, de-
spite the many attractions which they offer.
European countries seem to appeal to us with
subtle charm, while the republic to the south re-
main forgotten.
If we could develop a desire to visit these
republics, we would not only add to our knowl-
edge but would also develop friendly feeling
between them and us. Most Latin-Americans
distrust the United States because they fear we
have sinister designs on their territory. There
is no better way to destroy this prejudice than
by the visits of thousands of American tourists
to these countries.
We cannot expect Latin-American countries
to make overtures to- us so long as their people
cherish the mistaken notion that we may wish
to exercise controlling influence over their des-
TIMES. Friendly intercourse with their people by
travellers from the United States and the devel-
ment of warm business relations, based on mutual
understanding and confidence are the means we
must use to establish cordial relations.
