AMERICA’S OPPORTUNITY.
♦ _ ♦
II would not lx* difficult in the east to pick up two thousand
merchants, manufacturing and steamship men who could in
vest $10,OOP each in an enterprise and put it through.
Suppose such a company formed, that first a contract be
made f..r tie- building of five steamships as fine as a million ex
pended on each one could make them. While they were building
have department stores got ready in Bahai, Rio, Santos and
Buenos Ayres, and have goods worth $1,000,000 sent to each of
those stoics with alert men to manhge each one. Then have
banks opened in both Rio and Buenos Ayres with $1,000,000
each. It the stores cost $500,000 each that would all absorb
$14,000,000 of the original capital of $20,000,000. There would
then be left $0,000,000 to carry on the business until returns
might be expected.
Those countries all need agricultural implements, house
hold furniture, clothing, shoes, automobiles, hardware, luxur
ies a world of supplies of a thousand kinds. Besides money,
they have sugar, coffee, fine woods, a world of medicinal plants,
rubber and diamonds from Brazil; money, hides, preserved
meats, grain and other things in Argentine to exchange. Does
anyonedoubt but that a great success might lx* made?
I'Yom the banks and stores in a little time word would be
gin to come of marvellous enterprises that are waiting for a
little capital and for directing minds to launch them; for op
port unit i s on every hand for alert and competent men.
In that way in twenty years Germany established and built
up a business which made her the richest nation of central
Kuro| >e.
Have not our countrymen the genius and pluck to imitate
her? Would not more ships and more goods soon be needed?

IMJrUl5blrSLiJ!j AND UNDIiSIiKVf.D,
The FT<‘iidi writer who thinks that New York will not be
the world ’- financial center long after the war in Europe closes,
is right, but not for the reason he gives. The reason will be
because out - a- a nation has never taken the trouble to try to
be a world center.
Americans have no banks in foreign lands, no ships on the
seas, no intimate trade relations with foreigners, and naturally
foreign state- are indifferent toward us and do not look upon
the I'nited States as a possible country whose people could be
appealed to or capable of making business alliances with them
which might be of help to them.
Nations are like men: They do not always get what they
strive for; they seldom get anything of good without striving
for it. W ithout apparent concernment our government and
Ix oplc have looked on and seen Great Britain and Germany
make vast sums out of their South American trade, more than
half of which was in acting as middle men between those coun
tries and our own; but the moment anyone suggests that we
adopt the same means that European nations have adopted to
secure that trade for ourselves, at once from the president of
our republic down the biggest chump in congress, a protest is
rained again-t it. The idea that the world’s financial center is
going to gravitate to our chief city on such a showing ns that is
preposterous.
-:o:
San Francisco has been shown by a board of experts how t<
save $1,000,000 a year. Having been shown she probably will
emulate the example of other leading cities by spending an
extra million. Mere illumination of the path of rectitude is not
the cure all. Genuine reforms spring from honest leaders with
the backing of thinking people.
-:o:
King 1! iakon of Norway has taken the diver question In
tin horns. He proposes to control Norway’s own waters. Or
dei s are given to his armed forces to attack any submarine that
attempt- tn sneak into his country’s seas. Verily, positive ac
tion rings good to the American ear, weary of the monotony ot
i >o lover and watchful waitimr.
-;o:
Colonel Uoosevelt’s remark that President Wilson is play
ing second fiddle to ('arranza and Gompers should he elucidated
further by explaining that the president has been playing oft
the key most of the time. A good many Democratic member?
of congress testily to this.
--:o:
Bishop Brent, of the Protestant episcopal church, carnet
the flag to the front when he declares for “a fearless study ol
any truth that may not be prevalent in our own church.” Hi
urge- the study of other creeds and of the adoption of any that
seem good. We seem to be en route.
-:o:
President Wilson’s speeches are beginning to smell like r
patent medicine almanac’s stolen column of ancient aphorisms
and while they are very pretty, they get us nowhere.
-:o:
laverv man who lives comfortably on a glass of water and a
toothpick is to feel the pinch of high prices.
-:o:
Shoes are going up in price and' down in height. It isn’t
going to pay to kick so much.
“Sham laws must not be passed under duress.” That’?
boss sense. Hughes said it.
The registration books close tomorrow night. Can’t yon
bear your country calling?
-:o:
The Uoumanians have returned home after a short vacation
spent with their neighbors.
