Excerpt from How We Affect Latin America's Daily Life: Latin American, No; 2 If the United States is to hold its war-time lead in Latin America's foreign trade, our business men and our public must know more and think straighter about our ability to serve Latin American countries and our growing need for their foods and raw materials suitable for our manufactures. To give the basic facts about our present and possible future relations with Latin America is the purpose of the two pamphlets which the Institute for Public Service has persuaded Mr. William J. Dangaix to write from his personal travels and studies. In the present volume, How We Affect Latin America's Daily Life, many startling facts are given, such as that the West Indies' per capita trade with us was in 1918 four times that of Great Britain in 1913; Argentine's nearly five times that of France; Brazil's nearly twice that of Sweden; Cuba's twenty-six times that of Germany; Chile's three times that of Belgium. Will the population of Latin America grow up to her almost limitless natural resources? Are we her logical trading center? How can we earn continued leadership in the world trade of our neighbors to the south? What mistakes must we stop making? What are the encouraging evidences that we have profited from past mistakes? These and similar questions are answered by Mr. Dangaix in the two readable, definitely instructive pamphlets, How Latin America Affects Our Daily Life and How We Affect Latin America's Daily Life.
