BELOW EQUATOR It is common for a wealthy Latin American to purchase five or six autos at a time, great ropes of pearls, diamonds, , sapphires and rubies. This isvthe most interesting fact brought from his latest South American tour by E. M. Newman, travelogue lecturer. w Newman isjhused, and with good reason, about the .possibilities of trade between United StatesAnd Latin , Auicuta particularly Argeuuiia. He figures that South America has a purchasing power three times as big as France's and 10 times as big as Ja pan's. , There's a market worth going after. ' Ten years ago, when Newman visited South America, ( he noticed very few. American autos. On his recent trip he found American cars by the thousands. Our autos ' are so popular south of the equator that they have prac tically driven the cars of all other nations off the market. Newman says: "Contrary to the popular impression, South Americans have Veat pride in their personal ap pearance. American collars, shirts, underwear, hosiery, shoes and hats find great favor. "American moving pictures are the only ones shown. Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan are as well known in South American cities as they are in our own." . Good news, that we are finding such favor with our neighbors to the far south. 1 Argentina is an especially logical market for the Ameri can manufacturer, Lecturer Newman believes, because: j "The people of Argentina are the most extravagant race in the world today. Their extravagance excels even that of the Russian nobility during the czar's regime." " J Newman says that Argentine.women, when they appear in public places of recreation, are so dazzlingly appareled and bejeweled that they eclipse in splendod even Ameri can women. -:" v-- - - All of which are surface indications of enormous nat ural resources and national economic productivity that will nlace Argentina (Brazil also) in the top ranks of world J powers. . Many of us are so hypnotized watching the decay of the old civilization in Europe, that we forget there's a mighty " new civilization rising on the South American continent. Argentina, in some ways, is the key nation of the world. Psychologists know that the epidemic of world restless ness that culminated in the World War cropped out fifst in Argentina in the form of the tango, mother of jazz life , REPORT IS ISSUED The reDort of thA Waternouse and company auditors, on the condition of current general fund and the bonded indebtedness of North Carolina, has been officially made public. "The re port has been sent out from the office of W. N. Evert tt. secretary of state. Although the report is probably clear to a man of fig ures, it is a bit complicated from the viewpoint of the lay man. The committee, however, gives quite a bit of optim v ism for public consumption. "With the meeting of the General Assembly of 1921 the ?.tate ??ed upon an era of Process which still con tinues, the report says.
