ECUADOR PROSPERS
AS AMERICANS EAT
CHOCOLATE CANDIES
t —
NEW YORK, Mar. 24.—(AP).—
Ecuador is making a complete com
mercial come-back, the Foreign Trade
Council reports, wholly because of
the popularity in the United States
of Chocolate-covered ice cream con
<* fections.
The sudden vogue here for ice
cream served in a chocolate packet,
the council says, placed chocolate
overnight at a new premium the
world over. This re-established the
demand for Ecuador’s staple agricul
tural product, cocoa, from which the
highest grade bitter chocolate comes,
and lifted that country out of finan
cial depression.
The chocolate boom, the council
says, proved lucky for the United
States as well as Ecuador, for it re
stored to the former one of its good
customers of five years ago. Com
merce between countries being a
simple matter of give and take, Ecu
ador is now spending its chocolate
money freely here again, notably for
our player pianos.
That Ecuador “plays” when, as and
if the United States “eats,” does not
'jonstitute a comparison of tastes in
the two countries, the council adds,
so much as it reveals anew that
foreign trade, after all, is pretty
human.
Confectioners in the United States
prefer the Ecuador grade of bitter
chocolate both for its flavor and be
cause it takes a lot of sugar, and
thus enables them to market their
sugar at the higher price of candy,
according to the council.
Ecuador’s principal competitor is
the Congo, but the African cocao is
called milder and Is said to run sec
ond with the candy trade. When' the
World War shut off deep sea trans
portation the Congo’s output was
blockaded, to the advantage of Ecua
dor, but it meanwhile piled up in
| such volume that when ocean com
munication was opened again after
the war it came in a flood and
| broke the market. Ecuador lound its
[own cacoa selling at a loss or not at
all, and trade there was brought to
a temporary standstill.
In 1920, before the break came, fig
! ures show that Ecuador was selling
its products in the United States at
an annual rate of $12,244,000, which
gave it the money to buy American
products at a rate of $14,4S0,000.
The mutual effect of the slump
there was shown in figures for 1921,
when Ecuador’s exports to the Unit
ed States fell almost 75 per cent to
only $3,541,000, and its imports
dropped more than 67 per cent, to
$5,260,000.
Don’t worry when folks lie about
you; but when they start to tell the
truth duck for the timber.
