Satan To.dau

The English philosopher Bertrand
Russell, writing about Havelock Ellis
in the November Dial, declares that
belief in the existence of Satan is
the hardest thing in orthodox dogma
10 give up. He himself. he says, las
a 0evout believer in Satan, holds that
in our age he is incarnate in the
captain of industry. whether trust
magnate or communist commissar.
But to say to the ordinary person:
Remain living man or woman: do
not become an automatic machine.
is equivalent to saying: Die of hun
ger, and do not attempt TO earn your
living Advice of this sort is apt to
be coldly received Moreover the
state of an automaton, once
achieved, is pleasant; a life which is
entirely habitual involves a minimum
of friction and responsibility. The
Bolsheviks and the Fabians, quite
rightly, insist that love of spon-
taneity Is anarchic and aristocratic.
All true democrats in the present day
mean by democracy the reduction
of the few to the level of the many,
not the raising of the many to the
level Of the few; consequently theJ
welcome increasing mechaniza ton,
and wish it to become universal. The
power of Satan, therefore, is just as
great as in past times"

Steady and permanent gains 10 their
demand for the outmrn Of our
factories. Uaited States merchar.
disc ferns 1876 Of their imports
against 24qb In the year preceding
the war.
by Beck

Trade of the United States with
her Latin American neighbors
will be nearly 2,OOO,O0 900 in the
calendar year 1923 against three
quarters of one billion in the year
immediately preceding the war.
This growth in trade with Our
Latin American neighbors, says
the Trade Record of The National
City Bank of New York, occurs
especially in the exports, which
will total in 1928 about $675, 900 900
as against $50 600 900 in the fiscal
year 1914. all of which immediate
iy preceded the war. The share
which shipments to that section
of the globe now form of our
total exports is much larger than
in the year prior to the war
and will be approximately 1875 in
1928 as against about l2% in 1914.
Still another encouraging factor
in the figures of our trade with
Latin America is found in the
fact that the official records of
those countries show that they
are now taking a much larger
share Of their imports from the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-11-09

12% to 26% Of the total, and in the
case of the Dominican Republic
advanced from 62% to 84T.
This big growth in Our exports
to Latin America and the equally
big increase in the percentage
which we are supplying of their
imports is especially interesting.
in view of the fact that manu-
features form a very large pro.
portion of the merchandise which
they import. In the movements
from the United States to South
and Central American countries
manufactures form about 500 of
the total, though in the case of our
immediate neighbor, Cuba. where
sugar and tobacco command the
activities of the entire industrial
population, foodstuffs form a
larger proportion of our exports
thereto than in the other, sections
OF Latin America; yet manufac-
lures form very large percentages
OF the exports to that island de-
spite its demands for the meat.
dairy products and breadstuffs OF
our farms. :.
All of this merchandise sent To
Latin America is paid for in the
natural products of these coun.
tries, for our imports from Latin
America are always, and quite
naturally, greater than our ex-
ports to them. They supply US.
temperate zone country, with
their tropical products, including
manufacturing material and food
stuffs, while they take their pay
for these natural products "
manufactures.

LATIN AMERICAN MARKETS

United States than prior to the
war. Taking the Latin American
countries as a whole, their own
official figures for the latest
available year, 1921, show that
they took in that year 4S.4% of
their imports from the United
States as against only 24.3% in the
year preceding the war. The of
fetal figures of the 20 countries
forming the group designated as
Latin America" show, adds. the
Trade Record. $834,00O,O00 of mer-
chandise imported from the
United States in 1921. the latest
available year. as against $3l9,-
100000 in the year Immediately
preceding the war. an increase Of
over 1907 in stated value, while
the share which United States
merchandise formed of their i'm
ports was 45% in 1921 as against
24% in the year Immediately pre-
eeding the war.
This startling increase in the
percentage which we are now
supplying of the imports entering
Latin America is apparent in ali
parts of that area. Mexico, for
example, took 48% of her imports
from the United States in 1918 and
76qo. in 1921. Cuba took from the
United States in 1918 only $50 OF
her total imports and in 1921 75So
Argentina took only ls% Of her
imports from us in 1918 and 1870
in 1921. In Brazil the share drawn
from the United States jumped
from 1879 in 1913 to 5iTs in
1921. In Uruguay imports from
the United States advanced from
