calculation, saving a little money.
Unfortunately, whatever saving
he intended to effect was not
achieved, because he couldn't find
the place where anchors are sold
and he forgot the cigarettes and
coffee until we were nearly at
the Peace Bridge. His three
cartons of cigarettes cost $1.60
each: they sell at $3.50 in his

Shortly after noon we stopped
for a steak and a bottle of ale
at a place called the Limberlost,

were moving steadily and safely.
Thereafter our stops were mo-

roads were neither straight nor
hard-surfaced, but our car push
ed right along.
We reached our destination at

done 500 miles in fourteen hours,

4 TRADE BALANCE SHIFTS

The whole picture of South Ameri-
can trade with the United Stotes has
shifted, largely, no doubt, os q result
Of the war in Europe, but oIso partly
because Of q conscious effort to stimu-
lote it.
The United Stotes always used to
sell more to Latin America than it
bought from there Today that hos been
reversed. In February the U. S. exported
$62, 600, 900 worth of goods to Lotin
America. while it imported $82, OOO,-
600 worth. Thot gave Lotin America O
favorable balance Of $4,000, 900.
Thot means that the chronic short
ose Of American dollars in Latin Amer
leo is being relieved, and suggests that
the way is being poved for increased
trode in the future. In foot, the totol of
Februory trode both woys wos Sis, OOO,-
GOO 9reoter than the month before.
As in local trode, so in international
trode, volume counts. The United
Stotes stands for increasing, not de-
crossing. the volume of such trode.
With such limits os the war leoves
open, it's being done.
