A fair conception of this shifting sf the stream of meat animals from he shambles back to the feed-lot nay be gained from the fact that in 921 stocker and feeder shipments 3 nt of the re- cipts while i 2 they represented 0.8 percent. Thus, although during 922 receipts of live stock increased 1 percent and local slaughter 3.1 percent, Stocker and feeder ship- ent: reased 36. percent over the preceding ye s single fact serves as an excellent index both of the change in sentiment among live- tock producers and one of the im-| provement in general credit and trade conditions during the year just! closed. | An outstanding feature of the cat- tle movement was the striking in- crease in the marketing of both we tern range tle.

Stewart i The State Department's quoted now as doubting if the Pan-Ameri- can Congress in March will induce | the Uruguayan president, Dr. Brum’s plan for a League of American Na- tions. If North Americans had the slight: | est idea how South Americans feel, Ithey never Would have considered such a thing remotely possible. The theory here seems to be that although Americans are North and [South, yet they’re all Americans and ‘can agree, at any rate, on some sort of a joint attitude toward the rest of the world. The fact is that South Americans are mostly unassimilated Europeans. They’re a thousand miles nearer to Europe in sentiment, sympathy and comprekension than they are to the United States. Not only are they Europeans but ‘ro predominantly Spanish, and while the North American has pretty well forgotten his war with Spain, the Spaniard hasn't. South American, as a South Ameri- can, has toward the American of the north is that the latter’s a strong dangerous -neighbor, and that the ‘less the American.of the south has to do with him, the safer he'll be. ate H ITE TOO LATE NOW The United States had one chance. indeed, to win South American fa- vor, but she botched the job. During the war South America needed her. If she'd merely been have been so bad. The allies, how- ever, had various things they want- ed done there that they didn’t care to do themselves, because they knew the South Americshs wouldn't like it, which would hurt their standing later on. So they invited the United States to attend to these matters for nd she did. The thanks she received was to have the allies make capital out of it against her every chance they got. North Americans’ shortcomings after the conflict were mainly trade mistakes of ignorance, like forget- ting, for instance, that December's j mid-summer and July mid-winter south of the Equator, and shipping winter goods in the spring and sum- mer supplies in the fall. of these ¢rrors, too. Then there’s the United’ States’ persistence in trying to get Latin America into a patent and trade mark league with her, which, as a Venezuelan “Yellow Book,” re- marked, “would obligate us, at great expense, to organize a buread to record all patents and trade marks registered in any of the signatory countries,” a thing Venezuela isn’t | enthusiastic over, considering that the United States registers about as many a apy, as she does in a month, These are ost illustratigas.
