The South American Offensive

European diplomats and editorial writers are franz

the Latfn-Amcrican countries il designed as a thrus;
at European trade. and are counscling that It should

combat what they term the Vaccinations" ar tho
American government working in cooperation with
American industry.
Europe has controlled the trade Of L%atin-Amcric1
over four centuries. The policy Of the European com
mcrc.al and political interests has been one Of ex-
ploitatiou, not development. How far they would have
gone in their exploitation programs had they not been
halted by tho Monroe Doctrine promulgated by the
United States. Is. Of course, conjectural. Suffice to
say that the history Of Latin-America previous "a
PRONUNCIATION q that famous doctrine Is an outstand-
ing indictment against the political and commercial
policies ~ the powers ~ Europe.
Spain, whose newspapers arc raising the most vo
cifreous protests against tho Hoover tour, had over
three centuries IN which 70 develop the resources Of the
Latin countries. Her power was supreme throughout
The major portion or the western hemisphere, and the
manner in which that power was abused is one Of the
darkest chapters Of history. England, Germany. France
Italy have each turned their attention to Latin America
at various times. but there is no remarkable record OF
achievement in the development Of natural resources
or improving conditions for the masses.
Where Europe has failed the United States will
succeed, and the principal factor in that success will
be the fact that the United States will strive 70 DC
velor, not % exploit. Cuba, Porto Rico. Hawaii, the
Philippines. are typical examples Of the prosperity that
follows the American program or development, a pro
gram which provides that every individual shall have
the fruit Of his labor.
European agents working in the Latin American re-
publics have for years endcavored to picture the
United States as a devouring monster, imperialistic in
its policies. dishonest in its dealings with nations, and
with designs upon the rich resources of the Latin re-
pubIisc. Until recent years this propaganda has had
the effect Europe desired, but there are few Latin
American countries in which today both the conserva-
tive and liberal elements realize that in this country
they have a sincere friend, a friend which has no de-
sire 10 exploit the people a. Europe has done and which

sire to assist in estabizing their governments, educat-

greedy eye for over 2 century.
That IN, United States will add to her wealth from
the prosperity Of Latin America is obvious. but such
wealth as viii accrue to this country will come through
the legitimate channels Of development, not through
exploitation Of the people snd> the natural resources
which are their heritage.

\ phenomenal record Of progress in all branches Of
American aviation was made by the United States dur
ing the past year. The growth Of air commerce and
aircraft industry of this country is due in no small
measure to the strict enforcement of federal rerula-
tions which has inspired public confidence in the safety
of air transport.
During 1927 American factories produced nearly
1000 aircraft having a total value Of Sli.250.0O0. AZ
compared with ess than 1900 valued NJ Ss.s7O.OoO dur
ing the preceding year. Exports or aircraft and parts
during 1927 amounted to nearly S%2.OO0.00O, an increase
% approximately s. per cent over 1926.
Air-transportation has now attained = definite place
~ the economic scheme Of transportation. The estab-
lishcd airway system is the backbone Of our CONNER
cial aviation, although operations over this network
form only one-tenth Of all civil flying. These routes
now cover 11,191 miles on which 27,sl7 miles are flown
daily. OF these, 1855 miles are under mail contract
and 200 mail planes fly 23.2224 miles daily over thes
routes. There are now $3.50 miles lighted. 1900 miles
under contract for night flying, and 5.3Os additional
miles considered for lighting during the fiscal year
1929. The cities actually connected ~ the routes AZ
The close " the fiscal year numbered IS. the trading

munities will be connected BY air routes and that

Among the interesting developments Of the past

the organization to investigate all civil aircraft acct
dents with the view to determining and eliminating
their causes. This board Is composed Of two expert

CURIOUS DUEL
(New York WORLD

So much blood had been shed during the wat that
everybody was Disguised with it. But there remained
the old "~affsires" Of honor that call for a duel. for
the shedding Of a little blood. at least. In some Euro
pean countries people feel that you can't tell every
thing to a Judge. Hence the duel. In a little Czech
town not long ago a gentleman had reason to complain
Of the conduct Of one Of his friends. "Under normal
circumstances we should fight" said the husband.
"Yes," replied the other. Il accept your decision
And the husband went on: Il do not consider that your
misconduct is worthy Of death. But il should be pun
ished really with a nice big wound. Still ! am against
~bloodshed and therefore / will put il in another way. ]
think that wound would be worth about $4,000 marks
in money. And we are therefore going to deposit each
$4,000 with a bank and then play poker for the pot
The adversary agreed to the procedure. The game was
played. The husband won and pocketed the 100000.
But now his friends are deserving and evading him.
They cannot bear the notion that the misconduct Of his
wife brought him $4,000. But dispatches telling Of this
incident do not mention a word as TO what the friends
OF the husband would say il he had lost that poker
party and paid the principal misconductor $4,000.

REFORMING TOO MUCH
BY Charles 4. Driseon

Charles ". Lee of Meriden. Conn, one of my most
patient readers and commentators, recently sent me
his impressions of a column / wrote about grade cross
ings and the necessity for their elimination.
MANY grade crossings already would have been
eliminated" ne says, "it il were no. that, having been
paid for, the work must be paid for all over again in
about twenty years, in the form Of interest. !.
Interest II robbery. and the foundation Of all our eco
monte ills"
II happens that | do not agree with Mr.. Lee in this
matter. l recognize that he has a case, but think it
is a weak one. He can find many authorities who agree
with him, if he searches earnestly. But those authori-
ties have never been able to convince civilized man
kind that it isn't a good plan TO pay and accept pay
for the use Of money belonging TO others.
s
There j. no end to the list Of things and circum-
stances, customs and Institutions, that may be singled
out as "the foundation of all our economic ills" Then
you can take tho same long list and adapt Il 70 = sys-
ten that will show that al these things and factors
are the causes Of our spiritual ills, bodily ills, and all
other ills.
OF course Id be glad to get the use Of a million
dollars without interest, just as Id be glad to get the
pot Of gold at the end Of the rainbow. But do no..
expect any such favors. The persons who have the
millions TO let have acquired them under an economic
system which gives them a very strong color of right
to continued possession, and if | want to use their
money must expect to pay for the privilege.

work pretty well with the human race as now organized
and existing. It works well in some instances and i'll
in others. But it is a tool fitted to the human hand
and brain of today. No use trying to take away from
US these perfect tools and put into our hands other

Feeding the World

Announcement that the manufacturers NJ Camp
bells soups, the Van Camp Company, and Heinz q "57
varieties" fame are evidencing considerable interest
in the vegetable crops of the Lower Rio Grande Valley

ley growers. Valley carrots ~ Campbell canned soups

popular commodity. and Van Camps n~poducts, famous
the world over. could be improved by utilization ~

All concerns of this type Do business IN a small mar

They are compelled ~ carefully consider transporta-
tion and similar costs and unless the cost of rroduc-
tion ~ raw produ-ls more than offsets such additional
costs they cannot expect q plant 10 yield 4 reasonable
profit on the investment.
Heinz representatives have stated frankly that trans
portation cost was the only factor preventing estab-
lshment Of large plants in the Valley. Surveys made
by their experts several years ago disclosed that raw
products could be produced far more cheaply THAN in
che North. but the long rail haul to the large consum-
Ag ecnters presented a factor they were forced 20 CON

The fact Is obvious that the Lower Rio Grandc Val
ley cannot expect 70 attract such industries upon .
large scale until water transportation Il provided.
Water connections with the large consuming centers on
the Atlantic coast. and the corresponding decrease in
rates 70 the eastern inland ccutcrs. would provide the
margin Of profit sufficient to assure 2 reasonable re-
turn upon the Investment. Not only would water trans
port provide markets for the products Of their plants
but IL would assure cheap rates upon cans. bottles and
other containers from the Industrial centers Of the
east. a rate lower than they are now paying from fac
tories 20 their plants in Wisconsin. Minnesota. Illinois
and other Eastern and Northern states.
