FEARS AMERICAN "INVASION" The Barcelona Journal Vanguardia i sounds a note of warning against the danger, very real in the writer's \ opinion, of the capture by foreigners of the natural wealth of Spain, and ! of her virtually becoming a colony j of the United States. A commercial Invasion from that ! country forms a frequent topic of ' conversation in Barcelona just now. j This is no mere rumor. That the j Americans intend to establish in j Spain one of their most lucrative j markets, and to work to their advan- I tage the neglected wealth of its soil, ' is proved by the recent establish- ■ ment of a number of American i banks, by the daily opening of i branches of leading New York | houses, and by schemes for the con- j st ruction of railways, to be managed | from the other side of the Atlantic, i The Pizzarros and the Cortes of i this conquest of Spain by America [ are affable managers, who are bring- j ing in their train an army of com- j mercial travelers, foremen, engi- i neers and clerks. With very few ! exceptions, Spaniards regard this in- i vasion with indifference, if not with j actual approval, arguing that in- ' dustrles once set up in the country i will remain there, supply work, and cause money to circulate. Let the Yankees come by all means, they j say. There is a tendency among the j majority either to enjoy or hoard j money made during the war and to I leave the development of national j resources to foreign capital. As a j result of the influx of wealth due to j the war may be noted the increase j of the theaters, music halls, and ■ luxuries of all kinds.—Living Age. OFFER ACCEPTED The man in the next flat was j pounding on the wall. "Look here!" ! he cried, "I can't sleep with your j kid yelling like that! It you don't I make hi mstop, I will!" "Come in, sir—come in!" said the I kid's father. "You'll be as welcome i as the flowers in spring." Edin- I burgh Scotsman. May Run Jimmy Wilde For House of Commons •Jlj n>rtxy Vt IcLe.
