TWO SOUTH AMERICA IS LAND OF PROMISE McAdoo Commission Didn't Find Uninviting Conditions There. Secretary McAdoo has given out a statement setting forth his high estimate of the financial and commercial strength of ca 1 Soutu American countries recently visited by hint j as a member of tne International i i High Commission. The announce-i meat was drawn torch by a statement. | recently published to the effect that i t .e International High Commission regarded South America as a leiuti.c-. ly unimportant factor in the com- j T I n . f cm 1 .n f" i ,L a e I Iliwl VV v/ A- lliV vvuivvu ''The United States section of the International High Commission found condiitons in South America just the reverse of this statement," s^ys the McAdoo statement, "and returned ti the United States deeply impressc with the possibilities of South American development and the opportunity for American capital. Secretary McAdoo expressed his deep regret that such untrue and harmful publication should he made. "Among other things the arti.h contained the statement that South America is poverty stricken. Nothing could be further from the facto S u; America as a whole is nursing the gi gantic task of developing the natura resources of the continent with unsur passed vigor, wisdom and patience and t'ae results of the efforts of r.e people to develop the agricultural am mineral wealth of their land haw been most inspiring. "How can anv one talk of a novprtv stricken South America in the face of the remarkable figures available in any official publication? During th< year 1915 the value of the total Ar gcntine production was ofiicia.lv cir culated at $1,414,225,000 (gold). Ai gentina's foreign trade credit balanc* in 1914 increased by $300 000 00! (gold). She has a per capita gol reserve of $53.41, as compared wit our own per capita currency of go!' of $22.75. This is only cited as a., illustration. "Nor could anything be fu~the from the truth than to say that tlv great wealth of Argentina, Brazil oi Chile is deposited in the hands cf few great ruling families. Just as wai the case in the development of cu own west has the pioneer work beer done by the small proprietor farmer "Nothing could be more misleading than the statement that there is nc middle class in the Latin-American 1 republics, among whom extensive mar kets for manufactured goods can be ' maintained. The briefest possible visit to any of the South American capi- 1 mis or to tne provincial cities and farming countries will convince the 1 most sceptical that there exists in South America a most substantial 1 middle class. 1 "One can not see these flourishing 5 capitals of South America, four of ' which the commission visited?all be- 5 ing cities having inhabitants of about' a half a million to a million and a ' half?without being impressed with that fact that these modern communities contain the same component factors of rich and poor and middle class 1 es as do our own cities. "The real situation in South America as it impressed itself upon every member of the high commission, is that a large, almost unlimited field of investment and commercial expansion presents itself to the United States, but the possibilities can not be made realities without a concerted effort on the part of the American merchants, manufacturers and financiers. "The opportunity exists and the only Question is whotlmr* i/iu_ ion is sufficiently broad and our commercial and financial ?organization and spirit of enterprise are adequate to avail ourselves of the opportunity."
