Merchants Should Seek
Trade In the Markets
of South America ::
By EDWARD E. PRATT, Bureau Chief of the Department of Coramerco

TI!K economic condition of the countries to the south of us is ^ot
nearly as important as tne amount of common sense which our
manufacturers mav or may not liave. IS THE PRESENT TIME
AN OPPORTUNE ONE FOR OPENING UP NEW MARKETS IN
SOUTH AMERICA? EMPHATICALLY, YES! _
is tht- present time an opportune one for sell'ng goods? Probably
not ?•> emphatically., no! And here is the difference. This is the timo
to <»Tt! a salesman, or, better, a business diplomat, into South America
t<> study tl>(» markets, to learn the country, to meet the people, to be
come a ijuaintcd with the trade and to lay the foundations for future
btlsilH' S.
T.i expect, however, to ubtaiu large llnancial returns from this new
and difficult field is only the folly of the uninformed. You would
scarcely expect a salesman in a new domestic territory to show a profit
on his initial trip. Then why expect it in a foreign territory?
What I have said with reference to South America applies to a large
rare of the world. In the tir*t place conditions are readjusting. They
are fast becoming normal.

IN THE SECOND PLACE. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE MANUFAC
TURERS CF THIS COUNTRY TO WAKE UP AND BUILD UP THEIR
TRADE IN FOREICN COUNTRIES.
Enfranchisement of Women Will Establish
Popular Government
Bv CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT, Pre«ident of Internationa! Woman's
Suffrage Alliance
IN the Continental congress of 1774 an extensive discussion took place
as to the source of authority which would enable the colonists to
erect an independent government. Some thought that authority
e<v!i! o«lr comr front "G«d and the British constitution;" several that
i! roii".! with "God r*id tin* land." THE LATTER THE0R1 PRE
VAILED. \M> Tin: Y«)I VG REPHBLIC GAVE VOTES TO LAND
HOLDERS ONLY.
I>nrinc* another s: niggle in our history it was claimed with fervor
that God pive the white man the inherent right to rule over black men.
Each of these theories of government in turn wa9 replaced by one which
admitted the fallacy of the former and that God had intended to in
clude in the favored ruling class those newly enfranchised. Rule by the
divine right of kings has slowly given way to the spread of democracy
until the ruling class virtually includes all men; the subject class all
women. The appeal of women for the vote is met by the historical de
fense pronounced as insistently as in the days of kings by divine right,
"God has ordained men to rule and women to obey."
IN NEARLY HALF THE TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES WO
MAN SUFFRAGE IS AN ESTABLISHED FACT. ONE WOMAN IN EVERY
FIVE ALREADY HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT IN 1916
IN TRIUMPHANT RESPONSE TO THE EASTERN CLAIM OF THE Dl
VINE RIGHT OF MEN COMES THE VyE.STERN ANSWER. "GOD ORDAINS
THE PEOPLE TO RULE, AND WOMEN ARE PEOPLE."
With the enfranchisement of women the ruling class will disappeai
forever. Popular government, with no privileged class based on religion,
wealth, race or sex to claim especial God given powers, will become an
established fact. - .I

Continuance of Warfare Will Inevitably
Lead to Decadence
Ey \ IN'CENZO DE SANTO, Instructor In Romance Language* at the ]
University of Pennsylvania
IF this war continues to be a war of exhaustion,'if both groups of na- I
tions will be able to hold out for a long time, it may be that a gen
eral love for war and blood shall develop and take possession of _
every man in Europe, and the result will be the inevitable decadence of
that part of the world.
[ do not say that a period of decadence is actually to be feared at this
time, but 1 do not hesitate to affirm that if ever the sun of civilization
will set upon Europe, as it is bound to do at one time or other, it will
i-.niii* about just in this manner—a great general war will exhaust all
inv tv and at the same time awaken in man savage instincts. A
l'Et\i< >L> OF INDOLENCE AND LAZINESS WILL FOLLOW, ARTS
VND INDUSTRY WILL BE ABANDONED, AND ONCE DARK-;
NESS BEGINS TO SET THERE WILL BE NO POWER ON EARTH
OK IN HEAVEN THAT WILL BE. ABLE TO STOP IT.
These reflections are repulsive to me. I' for the first should repudi
ate the idea of a possible decadence.
IT IS NOT CONCEIVABLE, BUT STILL I CANNOT HELP THINKING
THAT IT 13 POSSIBLE, THAT WHEN IT COMES IT SHALL BE HERALD- j
ED 3Y JUST SUCH THINGS AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH TODAY. |
