Assurance of ample shipping facili
ties between the United States and
the Latin-American republics Is the
chief factor in the optimistic out
look for broad trade development
between the Americas, according to
a statement issued by the Pan-American
Union.
Commerce between this country
and the twenty-one principal Latin
American republics increased 133 per
cent in the four years between 1914
to 1918, the statement declares, and
the next fiscal year will witness
the greatest increase of all. Ever
since the beginning of the war there
has been an extraordinary growth
in Pan-American commerce, due
largely to war conditions, the state
ment points out.
Bic Value of Goods.
The value of commerce exchanged
between this country and the re
publics amounted to $750,000,000 in
the fiscal year immediately preceding
the war. Last yoar these figures
had climbed to $1,750,000,000, a gain
of one billion dollars.
As a result of the recent Pan
American commercial conference
held here, American business men
are In a position to know the truth
about trade opportunities in the
southern republics Views were inter
changed and the delegates. Including
hundreds of American shippers, and
manufacturers, obtained from the
South American visitors an idea as to
what kind of goods are in greatest
demand.
Chairman Hurley's assurance that
the shipping board is prepared to
give attention to all the needs of
Pan-American shipping, has given
the p.innrters and imnorters confi
dence that trade expansion will not
be handicapped by a shortage of
ship tonnage.
Plan for Extension.
"Plans arc now under way," the
statement adds. "looking to the
further progress of Pan-American
commerce. Among these are con
tpmnlated railway and highway con
struction In many parts of Latin
America. This will aid In the de
velopment of the vast resources of
these countries and Increase their
purchasing power."

lieve the airplane will aid in the
development of trade. Steps have al
ready been taken, it is understood, to
establish aerial mail service between

thence on the coast of South
imsrira. Both the Postoffice De
partment and private business inter
ests are interested in mo luuuimein.

Inherently we are all home builders young and old alike have built their
dream homes over and over again ever since early childhood.
Have we not all been builders of houses and homes and castles? From the.
time when Santa Claus brought us our first set of building blocks we did not tire
easily. We would start and build until our blocks came tumbling down and we
would have to start all over again.
As we grew older we would put up stone
cabins or castles in field and forest, and our
snow and ice palaces, and fortifications.
Later, have we not all of us fashioned our
ws?E&-r-Ty3 ea nomes in our day dreams? Our "Castles
in the Air" have they remained Castles m the
Air or tumbled down dream palaces? And
why? Because we have feared to make them
real we have lacked faith confidence in our
selves and work and because faith without
work is dead we have not succeeded our
dreams have not come true our homes and
mansions and castles have remained but dreams.
We Can if We Think We Can!
Let us materialize our thoughts and our
dreams. We can substitute bricks and timber
for alphabet blocks and MAKE OUR
DREAMS COME TRUENOW!
