In three years Germany has
forged ahead at such a rate that
she now occupies second place in
total exports to the 20 L,atin-Amer-
lean republics. During the past
year, Germany's horse trading
outstripped the United States by a
slim margin in Brazil, one of the
three largest Latin-American mar
ketS.
GERMANY BESTS ENGLAND
These facts were revealed in a
study of official figures of the De.
partment of Commerce Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
While the United States in 1897
had an export trade more than
double that Of any foreign land
with the Latin-Americas, Germany
raced into second place ahead of
Great Britain.
The United States exports to Its
sister republics in that year, &C.
cording to Government figures, to.
tailed $57S, 507, 900; Germany, 1882
1877 900, and Great Britain, S212,.
971, 900.
U. s. NOT HURT YET
The conclusion reached by ex
perts is that while Germany has
not appreciably hurt the United
States market for her manu-
featured goods as yet, she has
made marked inroads on Britain'S
South American market and it Is
admitted that, because of Ger
many's method Of substituting ex
ports, the Nazi traders probably
will continue to gain advantages
in South America.
An expert of the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce
said that it is extremely difficult
to present the entire picture OF
what is happening in Latin-Ameri'
can trade without an exhaustive
study of "all factors, particularly
exchange differences" In general
the United States is getting an
increasingly large part of the
Latin-American market. The
United States captured the Latin
American market during the World
War from Great Britain and Ger
many and has since dominated it

Here on a lecture tour, General

Although he said Americas

After hearing the last witnesses
in battle of words over the bill
which has been waged for a week
before the committee, Walsh called
a secret session of the members.
WalSh's announced purpose is
to report the bill to the Senate
this week and decks have been
cleared for Senate action as soon
as the measure is received.
FOES MAP FIGHT
While the committee deliberated
behind closed doors, friends and
enemies of the bill huddled to map
strategy for the Senate floor fight.
It was expected the opposition
would be small but vigorous.
Thirteen Senators have banded
together to fight the bill. They
claimed they we're gathering re-
cruits in the Senate. but Admins
tration forces were confident they
would force passage of the DILL
substantially as passed by the
House.
Approval was expected for the
Navy Departments request that
battleship tonnage proposed in
the bill be increased from TO-, ZOO
to $4,000 tons. That would add
approximately $90,000,000 to the
programs cost.
SHARP DIVISION
The increase in tonnage was re.
quested so that in case the Navy
desires to build 45,000-ton super,
battleships it may do so, provided
Congress allotS the money.
The expansion bill carries no
funds. 1t is merely an authorize.
ton" as a basis for appropria'
lions.
There was sharp division in
committee over Secretary of the
Navy Swanson'S recent request fol
authorization of II auxiliary yes
sells in addition to those carried
in the House bill. Estimate Of
committee experts were that these
II vessels would add about
$65, 900 900 to the bill.

The speech is expected to have
the largest worldwide radio recep-
ton ever accorded an American
official. It will be short-waved
from various American republics,
including Cuba, Brazil and Mex,
leo, and will be given French and
Spanish translations in practically
every South American republic.
PAN-AMERICAN DAY
This Is the understanding of in
formed officials who declare they
speak by the book.
Tomorrow will be Pan-American
Day, devoted to commemorating
the unity Of ideals of the various
American democracies. South
Americans are said to be showing
unusual interest in the occasion
and look forward to listening to
the speech which apparently has
had more advance publicity among
the South American republics
than here.
"GOOD NEIGHBOR"
President Roosevelt's good
neighbor" policy with respect to
South America has been supple
mented by his apparent interest
in leaguing the democracies OF
the southern and norther hemis
pheres into one completely allied
democratic western world.
It is said the President intends
to mention the theory that ar
adequate American Navy is fol
the protection of the Americas
against any attempt on the part
of European or Asiatic dictator
ships to encroach on American
shores either in fact or through
the propagation of ideas or pc

now need to levy anything for bonds
and interest. Bonded indebtedness
among Pine county districts is now
in the best shape in many years.
Many districts have now paid up
bonds in advance. One district, 1O4,
has paid all bonds due until 1945.
Check your cases with the county
auditor. So the net income tax law
is greatly benefiting Pine county
schools and helps to replace local
school tax levies.
This great tax law would help Pine
county schools another 100000 an
nually if about three million dollars
of that remaining eight million in the
net income tax fund would be turned
over to the general state aid fund
to pay general classification, trans
portation and supplemental aids in
full.
This must be done by an act of the
state legislature. The Senate "reac-
tionaries" killed this proposal in 1887.
It has an excellent chance to pass in
1899. Pine county citizens ought
to be 100 percent for this. With a
drop in the state levy of four mills
and a drop of six mills in the aver
age school rate in Pine county the
past year lover 1880, it is about
time that our daily press should take
an open stand for the new tax plans
and the peoples interests instead of
knocking them at every opportunity.
Net income taxes bring more state
aids. More state aids build up the
