Reeves Speaks on the Problem of Spanish in America Tho public mass meeting at the Y". W. C. A. in the interest of the study of the Spanish language was opened by the displays of views from the South American countries by Dr. Karl Schueffle. state medical in spector. Dr. SchaetTlo brought to the audience a new vision of the unspeukable opportunities awaiting trade and industry in a masterly way. Tropical indtsurics, vegetation, architecture were noted; a graphic description of the stamping out of yellow fever in the Panama Canal Zone, overcoming what had ren dered the completion of tho canal impossible to the French was full of interest. Robert B. Reeves, general secre tary of the local Y. M. C. A., gave an address on the importance of Spanish in commerce. Mr. Reeves sdid that were he twenty years younger he would con sider seriously qualifying himself for import and export business and would study Spanish. He said he. could not understand why more American young people were not studying Spanish in view of their great opportunities. For "Y'oung man, go West," he substituted "Y'oung man, go South." South America is a rich field, he said, and out of the war, would grow an in tense struggle, an economical and commercial war. Germany will, with her great ingenuity and might, strive not to be destroyed commer cially, but she must be made to pay for the evil she has wrought. Ger many will be our greatest competi tor. She sends her merchants to South America, who adapt them selves to the customs of the people, tit into their scheme of living, study their ways of doing business. Eng land, Germany and France extend much longer credit than American merchants. Formerly the United States was handicapped by lack of ships. After the war, with the largest merchant marine in the world, we shall not sit back and allow other nations to beat us in trade. Another advantage we will have is closer financial relations than formerly. Our banking institutions fire extending business throughout South America. The National City Bank has established a school to train men to go to foreign countries —financial missionaries. They study exchange, customs of country, lan guage, banking laws, stenography and typewriting. Greater confidence will be a natural outcome. The psychological aspect has been enlarged. Many of the South American countries have lined up with the Allies, producing very friendly rela tions with us. The Pan-American Union is work ing on this subject. Mr. Reeves closed with a convinc ing appeal to the young people to study Spanish.
