The Advisory Recall

Our idea OF useless and much than
useless proceeding, because of the cost attending It,
is an election for the advisory recall of United
States senator or representative We have law for
that and proposition pending in the legislature
for amendment of It, And while about it
we would suggest a further amendment to make
more nearly effective the recall Of the in the
for the delinquency of turning the heads Of
impressionable females. While we're about 1t, let
fix up this advisory recall business the way want
it that will not need to bother with It more
An advisory recall might be productive of results
the officer pledged himself heed such advice
might be conveyed to him by the recall and we
seem to remember that some of the earlier candidates
offered such pledge, but that has not been done
recently. Then again. if senator representative
has been SO bad to deserve recall he is apt to
be bad enough to disregard his pledge II he has made
any, to obey the recall.
The procedure in the case Of an advisory recall
proceeding would probably be something like this:
After having gone to the expense of preparing for
statewide election there would be in attendance the
personal and political Of the officer whose
scalp is sought There would be absent the great
mass Of the voters who little nothing about
it one way or another. There would be absent also
the friends Of the officer show Of their contempt
for the whole proceeding.
In these circumstances the recall would be "ad-
vised" with practical unanimty and the senate
the house representatives would advised Of the
action taken.
The officer so recalled" would probably be bade
jocular farewell by colleagues whom he might meet
in the cloakroom But unless he had some better
reason for leaving his than the recall afforded
him he would remain to the end Of his term. The
joke would be on those citizens at home who had
seriously supposed that anything would come Of the
proceedings

The Foreign Business of America

The most perfect Spanish scholar
in the world Is of no use TO an
American exporting firm or bank II
he is not also good salesman. The
characteristics of the Latin Ameri-
can people must be taken into ac-
count. A lack of understanding OF
these cannot be balanced by the
greatests fluency IN Spanish.
Some big American export houses
have established their own schools
for training young men to represent
them abroad. The teaching staffs
can tell within few weeks whether
a man is going to be a success as a
salesman on foreign soil.
Foreign trade is receiving the
close attention of some of the big
American universities. Once the
banks and business houses had, their
eyes opened 10 the opportunities so
long neglected, the colleges were not
slow to take up the subject. Off
cials of the Pan-American Union
discovered that a young employee
there was taking foreign trade
course at one of the universities in
Washington, specializing with re-,
gard to Latin America. His studies
include Spanish, physical geography.
principles of accounting, export
sales practice, staple commodities
of world trade, histories of Latin
American countries. and foreign
trade conventions. When this list
is compared with the study only of
foreign tongue, it is seen what
strides America has taken in recog-
mixing the groundwork necessary for
preparing young men to go out and
creditably represent American busi-
ok
ated above are only those included
in the first year curriculum at this
university.
1t is a fact that our Latin
American trade has lock on it that
is turned with the key of social
graces. To be a successful sales
man in those countries. one must
be not only a master of knowledge
of what he has to sell, but well
versed in the social forms so dear
10 the Spanish American heart. and
thoroughly aware Of the way our
southern neighbors prefer to do
business. The breezy type of sales
man who tries to get into a town on
one train and out on the next deal
ing with Central and South Ameri-
can merchants, will have nothing to
show in the way Of orders.
In our own country. there are
statesmen who win visit four or five
towns between dawn and dark. That
method in Latin America would re-
suit in absolute failure
The salesman dealing with mer-
chants of the countries to the south
must go slowly. Knowing this.
many large export houses in the
United States have brought men into
their home offices who have been
trained in Central and South
America, men who know not only
the needs OF those countries. but
the habits and customs as well. The
judgment OF these men is used in
selecting men who probably will
make good.
Harder to Land Jobs
With the realization that much
more is necessary than the ability
TO talk and understand the Spanish
J tongue, it is becoming harder each

An error, expression Of a popular misunder-
standing appeared in this paper yesterday in the
statement that Secretary of state Hall having be-
come acting governor Mr.. Redmond, assistant sec
retary of state. became acting secretary Of state As
a matter Of fact there is assistant secretary of
state. The position which is frequently mistaken for
it is rather chief cerk-shp, the occupant OF which
becomes acting secretary of state only when the
secretary himself IS absent from the state
A bin was recently introduced into the legislature
creating the office OF assistant secretary Of state
But it was defeated.
On Saturday, though, amendment was made
in the senate to Senate Bill 49, the financial code
creating the office assistant secretary Of state.
The amendment is not likely to be questioned that
hereafter there will be hiatus left in the office
OF the secretary when the happens to be absent
from the state.

Often within the last year, OF the disarrangement

The process is even rapid and cataclysmic

adventitious circumstance Of special session of the

year to be chosen for commercial
work in the Latin American field.
The standard is ever rising. II may
be truly said that commercial scien-
lists now are in charge and are dl-
recting the Latin American trade OF
the United States.
American business blundered into
many queer situations when 1t
started out to capture foreign trade.
In one incident. a South American
firm wanted to purchase $lO0,OOV
worth OF shirts. It sent repre-
sentative to the United states 10
make the purchase. Many concerns
were interviewed. The foreign
buyer wanted a certain alteration
made in the style OF the shirts.
Not one OF the American houses
would consent TO this, and in desper-
alton the South American agent
sailed for England. Even there the
shirt makers would not meet the
South American requirements. and
the buyer went on TO Germany. The
first firm upon which he called told
him that OF course the alterations
could be made. got the exact speci-
fications, and shipped the whole con-
signment within three weeks.
Too often American blindness TO
foreign attitudes has caused the loss
OF millions of dollars. The Ameri-
can mistake frequently has been to
put blindly into effect systems which
have been successful at home. For
instance, several American firms put
millions of dollars into big electric
advertising signs in cities of France.
After all OF this money had been
spent the American merchants res
ponsible learned that the French
people will not buy goods advertised
in this way.
Our foreign trade has gone through
the mill of bitter experience. Luck
Nv il has profited by its mistakes
OF the past. Now a big exporting
concern gives as much thought and
care to picking its foreign represen-
tatives as it does to picking its
chief executives in the home office.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 12.--
Foreign trade follows the lending of
money to foreign governments and
cities. IT always has and IL always
will This condition is as inexor-
able as the succession of the sea-
sons. And yet ii is but recently that
American bankers and business men
have been convinced of this fact,
according to Franklin Adams, coun-
Selor of the Pan American Union.
"a few years go, il another gov
ernment approached our bankers
and asked for funds, those govern
ments either were turned down abb
solutely or so much delay was en-
countered that the applicants grew
tired and went elsewhere" says Mr..
Adams. The condition. which ex-
listed long before the entrance of this
country into the world war. was the
result of the ignorance of our mer-
chants and bankers of the funda-
mentals of foreign trade. But with
the opening of the war and the
greatly increased demand for our
goods in Europe and in Latin
America as we'll as the Far East our
national mercantile vision w1dened
perceptibly It is still widening"
In the old days, il the government
OF one Of the countries to the south
OF the United States wnted loan
to build a railway, that government
would send special representatives
to the United States. These ennis
saries would spend weeks and weeks
in America financial centers before
they got a hearing, and probably 1T
would be weeks after. that before
there was a decision.
Today the financial houses of the
United States have representatives
practically all over the world and
these men are looking for places 10
lend American money. The Latin
American city that wants TO build
a street railway, for instance. after
some American financial agent ar
ranges for loaning the necessary
construction funds and money for
rolling stock, hs pointed out TO II
that the United States has civil en-
gineers, steel rail mills. and means
of providing all other equipment
needed 1t is natural that the gov
ernment making the loan should
want to repay as much as possible

the funds. Thus contracts. for equip

This expansion OF the American
viewpoint is being met by the edu-

American nations.

To the Editor of The Reublican;
The soil we are cultivating IN this

safely be estimated at an average OF
ten feet. II is an accumulation OF
the river deposits. and of dust car
