a EDITOR'S NOTE: Here ts an- other story describing conditions in Latin America by Rodney Dutcher, special correspondent for Bismarck Tribune and NEA Service, who toured Latin Amer- ica with the Hoover party. . By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) (Copyright 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, Jan. 17.—In Lima re- main more than traces of ancient Spanish rule, but the stamp of North America is being ever more deeply im- pressed as the diversified infiltration of American capital and American trade continues to increase. Some of us in the Hoover party stepped from the centuries-old cath- edral, largest in this hemisphere, into a street paved by contractors from the United States and enters a North- American made motor car to be driven to a North-American-built hotel or country club. En route to the country club, with its polo field, swimming pool, golf course and tennis club, its back- ground of Inca ruins and its Swiss servants who speak French, German and English, one passes over splen- did American-made boulevards and highways through replicas of our own suburban developments with their houses made of adobe brick but for sale on the installment plan in the American fashion. Build in U. S. Style Earthquakes and high prices for cement and stecl maintain adobe as Lima's favorite building material, but very lately some seven and eight- | story buildings have actually been erected in the heart of the city. One of these is that of W. R. Grace & Company, which would be a magnifi- cent office building in any country. The Grace activities in Peru illus- trate the diversity of American in- terests which make our influence here so obvious. The Grace steamship lines operate from New York, New Orleans and San Francisco to the £outh American west coast. The con- cern carries on a large import-export business in all sorts of commodities, notably machinery. It has sugar plants and cotton mills jnland, in- cluding the world’s second/largest tex- tile plant, and controls one of the Lima banks. Meanwhile the Cerro de Pasco Com- —— | INNEW YORK | ee New York— Maude Adams, it seems, is to take to the lecture bu- reau platform when she returns from India. In India, it seems, she will attend to the filming of “Kim,” a story which has long intrigued h er. And thus will one who has become a wraithlike personality return, as|ner, a concert manager, somehow though from the dead.

Many times it was re- ported that she was about to become| Mystery, there is generally a vast #@ nun, and though this did not come to pass, she lived a most cloistered life. Her comings and goings were hidden to all but a few intimate friends. Word was whispered up and down Broadway that she had attended a few premieres of plays in which old stage fellows were starred. Yet none was able to capture her in the act of coming or going. She has denied herself to the press a thou- sand times and she has avoided con- tact with theatrical folk bent on get- ting her to return to, the stage. But up in the General Electric Laboratories in Schenectady, N. Y., she is infinitely more of a reality. There for five years the woman who That Led to Killing of ‘was once the most prominent stage figure in America has played the Sitting Bull simple role of an experimental scien- tist. For five years she has gone mysteriously about her task, and in pany, American owned, produces for export some 10,000 tons of copper and lead each month, and the Ingersoll Rand Company supplies most of the mining machinery. You can hear the Two Black Crows on the phonograph in every mountain mining camp. Every steamer brings down a hundred or more Crow j Tecords. { In 1920 the Foundation Company of New York made a $50,000,000 con- tract with Peru for a sanitary im- provement program in 30 cities in- eluding msdc-n water and sewer sys- tems, new pavements and macadim- ized roads and so on. The Founda- tion Company also established a cement plant and a_ refrigerated warehouse, which is the only place in Lima where animals may be) legally killed for consumption. t “Standard Oil controls 70 per cent, lof Peruvian oil production. | The Singer Sewing Machine Com-; pany, which has a remarkably effec- | tive organization in South America, sells to natives all over Peru on three- year payment plans.

The United States has been the dominating economic influence in Peru only since the war, Britain had that position previously. She still has the Peruvian railroads, though it was jan American, Henry Meiggs, who |built the world’s highest flying rail- | road, which runs over 67 bridges and \through 65 tunnels to a height of 15,665 feet in the Andes. ‘Today American investment in Pert: between 200 and 250 millions is more than double the British. More than 40 per cent of Peru’s imports come from us, only 16 per cent from Britain and nine from Germany. Her exports are more than $100,000,000 a year, and imports around $75,000,000, though export figures are misleading owing to large profits taken by Ameri- can investors here. Peru runs second in world copper production. Her principal crops are cotton and sugar, so she is intensely interested in higher prices for both. she would -go to the Himalayas to find a Llama and otherwise give the picture native atmosphere. When the great movie magnates from the boot and button industry heard that such care and effort were to be used, they all backed out. Finally, unless the rumors on Broadway are false, Joseph Schenck, of United Artists, gave backing to her idea. Meanwhile, where hundreds of jothers had failed, Charles L. Wag- managed to arrange for a tour in matic recitals.” Where there has been so much jamount of curiosity. Broadway won- |ders what Miss Adams looks like { today, and how she will appear again as an actress. (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.)
