Spanish-American Trade Problems
Confront Uncle Sam; Capturing
fhat Trade Is No Easy Task
The Allied Troops Retreat From Dunkirk
>y C. H. HUFFORD
| The large increase
imorican trade,
in Latin-
now diverted
0 us by the war, is causing us
|> feel a new interest in Latin-
Lmcrican affairs. It is apparent
«hat after the war the Old World

pst
}en"witlY-wofse conditions tha.n
,ve existed for centuries. Our
uropean trade will suffer sev-
ely, and most of it will not be
stored -for years, if ever. In
is plight we will be glad to
pok to South America in hopes
at we may there recoup our
trade.
, The Pan-American Confer-
R'ces -that have been held from
(me to time have done much
pwards building' up good trade
elations with Latin-Ameriea.
Itill, it is easy to overestimate
pc accomplishments of these
bnferences. In the first place,
he membership is hand-picked;
hen, under the leadership of
Uch men as President Roosevelt
Sid Secretary Hull, the confer-
handled by our commercial
people. Let us examine a few of
them: «
1. Latin-American peoples
are powerfully influenced by
ancient customs which they ven-
erate and which they yield very
slowly. Americans, either be-
cause they are not laminar with
those customs or because they
have not the inclination or the
patience to honor old customs,
are inclined to disregard them.
This brings up antagonisms.
2. The sale methods of our
commercial representatives are
too direct .and blunt to, suit
Latin-Americans. European sal-
esmen are.jnore suave and dip-
lomatic and approach business
propositions through social
channels. Rides, dinners, operas,
and presents may play impor-
tant parts in preparing the way
for business propositions. Out-
trade representatives need to
learn the importance of this so-
cial approach.
3. American salesmen are us-

bd file of the people. But be-
iond the idealization and pat-

brences stand a number of
palities originating in differ-
nces of race; language, and cul-
ure. They must be tactfully

disadvantage. European sales-
men usually speak three or
more languages. French is ex-
tensively used by the upper
classes in Latin-Ameriea. Like-
wise, some familiarity with
Spanish writers, poets, artists,
and.....musicians, and their works,
is most desirable, I cannot stress
too" much the need of making
use of the cultural and social
approach to business.
4. We must realize, also, that
goods for the Latin-American
trade should be manufactured
and packed in accordance with
i the needs and tastes of those
| people. We should try less to
1 reform or to "Americanize"
I them and try more to please
I them. Goocib must meef certain

The picture shows the allied troops wading out from the beach to the n ■ -n- boat in
right foreground, during the evacuation of Dunkirk. This was one of th» re .-! n : lie . t:
in history, 887 British craft taking part in the operation. A correspondent reports that eVeiy i.-.uid-
ing in this city of 33,000 persons was destroyed by the Nazis.
There are few good^roads, and
much of the interior trade is
carried on by pack-animals.
Hitherto wrong methods of
packing goods have annoyed the
people.
The above obstacles are being
overcome and will be overcome
in time. There remain, how-
ever, other obstacles to Latin-
American trade that are not ra-
cial or cultural, but that are
even more fundamental. Some
of them are:
1. The exchange problem.
Latin-American countries, like
all other Countries in the world
excepting the United States,
now have depueeiated curren-
cies. This places the Latin-
American who desires to trade
with us at a disadvantage, since
he stands to lose when he
changes his mhney to ours. If
he elects to trade in Europe,
| st:

I da
lay differ from American stiftu
dards.
Similarly, goods destined for
I interior points should be put up
in packages so they can be coh-
veniently adjusted to the* backs
of pack-animals like the llama.

requirements of taste, flavor,! however, he will have two ad-
style. and design, all of which j vantages: first, European cur-
rciw»k being depreciated, is
cheaper; second, prices of goods
will be lower. The proposed-
Inter-American Bank, authoriz-
ed by the U. S. Congress, was
created to assist in financing
Latin-American trade. Only
iteee. South*American countries
hWfc^agreed tc^hodpeTSfe with
it; so the proposition is for the
moment halted.
2. Perhaps the most serious
difficulty in the way of Latin-
American trade is the fact we
do not need the most important
articles that the Latin-Americas
offer to“ exchange; for instance,
wheat, beef, wool, cotton, and
petroleum are the standard ex-
ports of the four countries in
the temperate zone—Uruguay,
Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile.
Natural conditions will bo
against us in increasing trade
relatious with these states.
However, the tropical part of
South America, including six
states, contains vast areas that
are still uncultivated and large-
ly uninhabited. This region is
capable of producing raw mater-
ials' that are heeded in the
United States and that will not
come into conflict with our own
productions. If this could be
worked out, the Western Hemis-
phere could become one great
self-sustaining economic unit.
Take rubber as an instance:
90 per cent of the supply comes
from the Dutch and British West
Indies; yet it is a native of South
America and should be produced
there now. Such an arrange-
ment would assist American
trade rather than Dutch and
English trade.
Abaca is another instance.
This is the plant that supplies
the manila hemp of commerce.
Its fibre is the raw material for
naval cordage, for which no
substitute is known. The de-
mand for it is good and will
grow rapidly now. Abaca is also
a native of Soutlf"Sme#ie# but
is now being produced in thg
Philippines by Japanese labor/
The cinchona plant, likw^dse^
a native of South America, is
the plant from which quinine is
extracted. Oddly enough we get
our quinine from the Dutch and
British West Indies and not
from our “Good Neighbors" in
South America.
The coffee, sugar, and banana
industries are well established
in Latin America but should be
greatly improved by more scien-
tific methods. The production of
spices, vegetable oils, drugs,
perfumes, flavoring extracts,
herbs, tea, new tropical fruits,
and rare woods has been begun
in a small and rather crude way,
but only awaits scientific cultu-
ral methods to become an enor-
mous source of revenue.
Latin-Ameriea is a domain
two and a half times the size of
the United States. It contains
the largest area of undeveloped
fertile land in the world. It is
capable of producing anything
that grows, as well as most of
the minerals. Under scientific-
management and cultural meth-
ods it can be made to so comple-
ment productions of the United
States that this hemisphere
would become an independent
economic unit. Hoffrjs a chal-
lenge to our far-'seeu^ states
