the development of our own coun-
try, but we have come to realize
more and more clearly that the.
problems of the United States are
not essentially different from the
problems of any other country. As
we have been filling up and de-
veloping this land of ours we are
coming to the point now, and we
are going to come to it more and
more, when we shall need new mar
kets, new openings for our pro-
ducts.
-Four advantages strike my mind
at once that we have gained. First,
there is the mental one, the psy-
Geological one. We are coming
now to a realization of the prob
lem, to vision of what we might
do. That is perhaps half the bat
tie won already. What little trade
we had, very small percentage of
the total, was carried on by men
who had not particularly studied
the South Americans. their ways,
their languages, their customs.
THE foreigner studied their
/ wants. He gave those people not
what he thought they ought to
have but what he discovered they
wanted, and he gained their trade.
Secondly, another great advan-
tage that we did not before enjoy,
/ and that is in. respect to the law
We all know, for instance, what
{, the German cartels were; what a
close knit combination of power it
, was; how the government stood
back of them; how there was no
f. interference with combination, the
masses of capital and the great
united strength that they put forth
to seize and grasp the industries
and commerce of those countries.
We realize that we have been
Stacking our trade to a large ex-
tent. Our eyes are now opened, and
by the Webb Pomerene law we
have struck those shackles away.
1t is possible for the American
business man, the American finan-
cier and banker, to unite in some
such great movement as this and
put the strength of this country
back of the foreign trade of this
country.
] Europe's Creditor.
and then, thirdly, before the war
we were a debtor nation. Europe
held our securities in large quanti-
ties. All that now is changed. Our
securities have been in large
measure returned to us and from
a debtor nation We have now ow-
| ing to US from Europe the colossal
sum of about $4,000, 900, 900. We
