will owe to it the collaboration of the
revolutionary socialists with the

principle very soon triumphs."

>"tilat the country has cause to rejoice
at this ?"
Indeed it has, if the Socialists come
to power with reasonable ideas; if
they really aspire to 'collaborate and
not to exercise a tyranny that could
not be tolerated by national parties"

which would have benefited both the
United States and Brazil by awaken
ing widespread interest in the exposi-
ton, it's meaning to the United States
and Brazil and the development Of
pan-American friendship and COM
merce.
wonderful opportunity for un~
selfish service has in this way been
lost for America to learn the attitude
of the Brazilian government and peo-
pie and win the admiration of other
Iatin-American countries and people.
The United States commission in
charge Of the United States participa-
ton has done everything possible un-
der the limits of the Appropriation,
but to-day, despite it's best efforts.
there is very little widespread interest
throughout the United States or Latin
America in the actual participation of
the United States. The exposition
should have been the inspiration to ed
ucate the American people to the inn
portance of Brazil and all Latin Amer
ica in the future Pan-American rela-
tions and commerce of the United
States and to make our people realize
the greatness. potentiality, wealth and
resources of Brazil, not only as a coun-
try of Pan-America, but as a friend of
the United States. The fault and
blame in this matter do not rest
with the State Department, bua with
those who framed the original bill.
All this means that Secretary Hughes
himself must be the one big exhibit,
so to speak, of the United States at
the Brazilian exposition. He must also
be the one one chief influence at Rio
to promote Pan-Americanism and PAN
American commerce. By his presence
there, his speeches, his conferences
with the Brazilian statesmen and by the
effect on himself of what he sees and
hears he will be the chief central
figure Of our participation. He will
achieve results that will do more than
the United States building and our
private exhibits to make that partici-
patton a success.
And to make sure of royal, peace
full welcome he sails Thursday, not

tar as international affairs are CON
cerned, in the troubled economic and
political conditions of Europe, that
they do not grasp that the United
States is facing critical new era in
its relations, both political and, COM
mereial, with Latin America.
The situation is so pregnant with
serious possibilities for good or bad
that the visit of Secretary Hughes to
Brazil may be the deciding influence in
favor Of or against the continued
leadership of the United States in Pan-
American activities along lines ac-
cepted and applauded by all of its
sister American republics. This does
not mean the leadership of self-as-
sumed authority, but one which the
other. nations will gladly stand for if
saat responsibility is placed on the
United States because they them
selves want it to be so and because no
one OF the other American republics
can accept il with the assured ap-
proval of all OF them. The United
States must lead in Pan American ac-
tivities, through, first, the choice of a
majority of the other American coun-
tries, and, second, through it's inherent
qualities of leadership. 1t is plain
from what Secretary Hughes says and
does that this is his attitude.
of such wise policy the Secretary
OF State stands as the chief represent

The proposed new tariff bill. on the
eve of being passed by the Congress,
is unpopular in Latin America and may,
If long continued, seriously hamper
Pan American commerce. which is a
vital part Of a-Americanism But the
Latin American statesmen and press
are aware that the tariff is largely
shaped IN this coun.9y by local potiti-
cal conditions and influences. and not
by thought or purpose of hurting any
Iatin-Amelioan country or all Latin
America. Our tariff laws, good or bad,
do not pick out purposely our sister
American republics az special objects
of adverge GGties more than they do
the countries, of Europe and Asia.
Perhaps the greatest problem that
Pan-Amer.canism now faces, and one
which Secretary Hughes will at once
recognize when he arrives in RIO de
Janero, is the tremendous and unre-
mitting effort that is being openly
made in commercial and other ways by
the leadin., European countries and
Japan to strengthen their commerce
and influence throughout the Latin
American countries. 1t is not meant
that they are doing anything which
they have not a right to do, but that
they are doing many things which have
the effect of lessening both the inhu-
ence and commercial leadership of the
United States. They are leaving no
effort neglected to strengthen their
position. They intend not only to re-
cover what they lost during the World
War, but, to go far beyond what they
had achieved before the war in in
fuence and commerce.
The Brazilian centennial exposition
is an illustration of this situation.
Nearly ail the countries which are
interested politically and commercial
~ in the future of Latin America are
making more elaborate exhibits in
Rio de JaneiTo than is the United
States, despite the fact that our gov
eminent appropriated s1,0oo,o00 for
its participation. Although our gov
ernment is very thrifty and is using
large part of this appropriation in
constructing a permanent building for
its own governmental exhibit, which
will be used after, the exposition as an
embassy, all of the exhibits of Ameri-
can manufacturers will be housed in
an unimposing structure built by
private capital
