' i SALVADOR SUCCESS LIES INHARD WORK Yiny Republic Most Prosper- ous and Stable Among Smaller Nations. Saivador, the latest Latin American republic to reach an agreement with he United States for a sort of Inkneial umpirage by the latter is he subject of the following bulletin ¥om the headquarters here of the Tational Geographic Society: “El Salvador, whose name we thorten to ‘Salvador,’ is the smallest ¥ the republics of Central America. | Hore, it is the smallest country, in- Jependent or dependent, on the main- mnd of either North or South Amer- ca. But it Is more densely populated han any other country on either wntinent; and measured by trade )alances, it'is more prosperous than iy of the other Central American Spublics, Has Farming Middle Class. “Surrounded by neighbors, the gov- ynments of some of which have not Jeen marked for their stability, and Fhose soils have not been notable or freedom from war, Salvador has sd a comparatively peaceful exist- @ce in recent years. This is o Salvad prosperl Fhoughtful Salvadoreans also point »ut that, just as an individuai's suc- tess is ‘likely to be due more to spiration than to inspiration,’ so t is with states; and that collectively | falvador has gone on generating | wosperity through the perspiration ot Bdustry from year to year. “Kconomists can point to other lactors. Salvador is almost unique | n its part of the world in having b fairly well developed middle class, Mmall farmers who cultivate their ywn lttle farms, Finally, Balvador Jas welcomed and protected foreign Japital, a fact to which it owes good ransportation facilities and numer- bus thriving industries. “In assessing the showing that Sal- vador has made it must be kept in xind that a considerable part of the republic’s 18,000 square miles is sroken by mountains and even ac- ve volcanoes. Yet the population supports is so dense that if the wme rate were applied to the United | jtates our census figures would show | early 350,000,000 inhabitants. And | e country not only supports fts| \eavy popuiation, but has a favorable | sade balance of $3 for every in-| jabitant. This is twice as great as ihe fayorable per capits trade bal-| ice of the Uhited States, as shown the latest figures. Position Unique, “Little Salvador is tucked away on © he Pacific side of the Central Amer- pan isthmus. It is the only coun- ¥y between the north pole and South America that does not touch both ceans. “Coftee is the most valuable Salva- Jorean product. Not a coffee tree ex- ed there before 1840. ‘Then a razillan school teacher who had Fove\i to Salvador, brought a tree om his own country. When this rst tree was planted in the teach- )r's garden, according to enthusi- Mstic Salvadoreans, the cornerstone )¢ the natlonal prosperity was lald. &ow there are 100,000,000 trees in the republic, and berries worth m dons of dollars are shipped out an- ually, moat of them to the United tes. : “The man on horseback, though a aceful one, still exists in Salvador, even shapes railroad policy. Vearly every train has in it an ani- nal caf. The horseman often buys ckets for both himself and his ount, is hauled to the end of his urney, e¢limbs into his saddle and $des on his way.” ICTOBER HARD COAL SHIPMENTS DECREASE | ¢ lotal of 6,564,528 Gross Tons Slightly Less Than Year Ago.
