"The keenest interest is being shown in Latin Ameri-a, especially Chile, because of her enormous min eral xvealth and her industrial pros pects, as well as the progrcssUe spirit of her people. "All Americans visiting Chile report conditions fax-orablo to u great indus trial advance. Thn friendly relations between the two countries are being constantly strengthened by n better mu tual knowledge of each other's quali ties and aims, xvhich is being gaiucd bj closer personal contact between repre sentative men of both nations. "Great trading organizations which have been formed in the United Stales will tend to maintain the trading cur lent to South American markets, and I hclievo ample credits xvill be eitcndcd.
