OKLAHOMAN OFFERS PLAN BY WHICH
WE CAN INCREASE MEXICAN TRADE
-L PASO weaves a spell about people
1j reside a snftjaent length of tuna to get acanaratea
with tie spirit of the place and with the people who are
building the dry. Sometimea men more away either from
choice or from necessity, hot they generally regret having
left El Paao. Hot a few return after their wanderings,
during which they sought to hotter themwlTea and sac
ceeded only in watting, -comparatively speaking, the years
they spent away.
Prom Oklahoma City conies a letter to the chamber of
commerce, from a man who says he tired here a number of
years and hopes to retro here and make El Paso his per
manent home. He is in oil engineering and apparently
rtmrniea a noat of some importance hs a city of great
wealth and tremendous energy. Yet
back here.
But the most notable thing about hit letter is that fts
entire contents, fire closely Hype written pages, are devoted,
not to asking for something or proposing something of
personal interest, but solely and entirely to closely thought
out and wen expressed suggestions for El Paso's permanent
benefit. El Paso is his dry tSB, eren thongh he resides
temporarily elsewhere, and he takes Us time to outline a
broad constructive puigiaai tor El Paso, because his heart
is here.
This El Paaoan in Oklahoma expects El Paso to become
a cty of 500,000 inhabitants. But he insists that mere
time ought to be spent winking out the few big vital prob
lems of development, and lees on the minor things, that
accomplish comparatively tittle but dissipate energies.
"While EI Paso baa worked hard," says he, "it has slept on
its opportunities longer than any other dty in theUnited
States."
One of his interesting and constructive suggestions is
that El Paso prepare to make itself the base of all Araer
ican manufacturers and jobbers desiring to do business in
northern Kezico. Be proposes that EI Paso organise a
baik with branches in all the principal cities of Mexico that
our merchants cat teach, and a strong branch in Mexico
dty. The parent bank should have a large capital, and
devote itself expressly to developing Mexican trade for El
Paso merchants.
Each branch bank in Mexico would act ai an agent of
El Paso shippers, advise on trade conditions, transfer funds,
pass on credits, make collections, negotiate acceptances, and
in general represent El Paso to the Mexican people and
busy itself in creating in the minds of Mexicans the idea
and habit of referring to XI Paao for anything they want.
The Oklahoman further suggests that when thm bank
with its branches has been organised it should notify every
national advertiser in the United States that it is prepared
to handle basin ess out of El Paso to Mexican points.
Through the bani, connections these national advertisers
would be induced to erect and fill warehouses here and
establish branch offices here, while branch faetariea and
assembling plants would naturally fellow in doe time.
Why are these great firms net doing business in Mexico
today? aaks the Oklahoman. Or in the past? They havenf
the facilities and dont know how that is the answer, says
he. let El Paso furnish the facilities and notify the world
of it, and her reward will be immediate and overwhelming.
He has another suggestion to promote closer interna
tional relations: the organising of an international college,
paying special attention to business courses and languages.
He would ten all the world of it, and be believes that a
large attendance would be had from an ever the United
States and from Mexico and Latin-America, of young awn
and women asxioua to gain knowledge by actual and prac
tical experience in business and customs of the different
countries. He believes that aside from the direct and im
mediate results of such specialised schooling, the social
contacts thus formed would have much to do with pro
moting international friendship- and geed win. He would
nave the board of regents itself an international body, with
membership equally divided between the two countries.
Says he, EI Paao should lead the world as a center of
Spanish-American culture and partfc'nlaily as a place to
master the intricacies of in Lei aational trade.
El Paso, the Oklahoman further says, should have per
manent and commodious showrooms for all goods produced
in Mexico, in charge of tstyTHgenr and eTpmrncfJ men
who could quote prices and tell of conditions
Then he would have a special dab, a social and business
club on the order of the Tottec but conducted especially for
the benefit of Mexican business men coming to El Paso to
buy goods. He says, what we-aH know to be the fact, that
Mexicans visiting El Paso on business are not entertained
here aa they are in Dallas, San Antonio, and Los Angeles.

their bodies may be at a distaste from the pbee which the

afford to let other cities think faster or wrk harder than
we. Nor can we overlook good suggestions, from whatever

places, nave I ever seen such utter
disregard for speed laws and such
wilful disregard for human life on the

citizens about the speeding here and
they have said. 'Well, there are a lot

day. and when be skipped near the

lady mouse teacher saying:
"Oh, my dear children! Will you
never learn? Why is It you cannot

"Ha! Trouble! Here is where I come

Uncle Wiggily hopped over to the

of any trouble such as he .had feared.
The animal children were at their
