countries is, of course, their affair, but it must he noted
that many South American nations have large undevel­
oped resources, huge areas to cultivate, wildernesses yet
to be won; such conditions may, probably will, operate
upon their immigrants as similar conditions did upon im­
migrants to this nation in its earlier days.
At any rate, we haven’t so much metal to melt for
a while!
FIELD FOR AN INVENTOR
All the world loves a game and on the basis of mail
jongg the oldest games are the most beloved. The “ yel­
low peril’’ to the serenity and conservativeness of the
American living room illustrates once more that games
unlike their players, grow in fascination as they increase
in age. Confucius, China’s religious.sage, may have wbil
ed away many philosophic hours over the racks and
counters although to be sure there lias been found no­
where in his writings any reference to precious hours mis
spent in becoming too expert at his national game.
Novelty counts for so much in the launching of a fad
that newer and better games, displacing the old ones
•would be welcomed. If any one could invent a totally
new and highly absorbing way of extracting diversion
from a pack of cards, he would become mightier than tin
most revered of chess experts. Keen minds, well a wart
of this, have spent years in the attempt. Yet we go on
playing a variant of the old game of whist. Innumerahk
efforts to launch games of the backgammon type liavt
been made, yet the dealers still do a fair business in sell
ing boards lor parchesi, of supposedly ancient Hindoo ori
gin. Even that momentary competitor, ping pong, wat
less a new game than a parlor adaption of tennis. Watt
Pasteur and Edison have performed tasks more difficult
seemingly, than the creation of a new pastime. Yet tin
old games hold their own.
Chess, now more popular perhaps than at any time
in its history, was supposedly borrowed by the Crusaders
from the Saracens. They in turn must have learned it
from still earlier Asiatic or Egyptian players.
If mail jongg owes its first welcome here to it
novelty, it will gain whatever permanent hold it can ge
by merits that have come with age and slow developmen
For in our amusements, as sometimes in our politics, w
are innovators by appetite but conservatives by need.
CRIME WAVE WANING
All over the country are now decided evidences the*
the majesty of the law has overtaken the crime wave.
The jails and penitentiaries are rapidly filling up with
bank bandits, highwaymen, automobile thieves and boot­
leggers. It is really surprising how many young men have
thought that they could pursue a crime course withou
paying the penalty. The automobile has proved a mean
of encouraging crime, affording an opportunity of quid
getaway but the peace officers have found ways to cir
cumvent this menace and criminals will soon find the}
must pay the penalty.
At any rate New York will have no occasion to com
plain of the Democratic national convention because o
its brevity or lack of interest.

TRADE RECORD
OUR CENTRAL AMERICAN NEIGHBORS
They are steadily increasing
their purchases of our manu­
factures and paying for them
in their natural products.
Since 1910 the interchanges
have aggregated $1,000,-
000,000. Honduras and de­
tails of its trade with the
United States.
Honduras, our nearest Central
American neighbor and just now
the centre of attention in that sec­
tion of North America, is a con­
siderable and growing factor in the
foreign trade of the United States.
W ith a population of less than one
million, it took from us last year
over 11 million dollars worth of
our products, and has averaged
about 11 million dollars per annum
during the past 5 years. About 84%
of its imports are drawn from the
United States and it sends us 90%
of its exports. The total trade be­
tween Honduras and the United
States in the past dozen years has
approimated 150 million dollars.
Manufactures, says the Trade
Record of The National City Bank
of New York, formed the bulk of
the 55 million dollars wortji of mer­
chandise which we have sent to
Honduras in the past 5 years, and
fruits, coffee, sugar, tropical woods
and gums the chief imports, about
30 millions. Cotton goods, boots
and shoes, manufactures of iron and
steel, railway cars, electrical ma­
chinery, medicinal preparations and
flour are the principal articles sent
to its markets and they are paid
for in bananas, cocoanuts, chicle,
sugar, mahogany, fustic, logwood
and other articles of tropical
growth. Bananas are by far its
most important export and form
over one-third of our big and con­
stantly growing imports of that
fruit. Puerto Cortes, its chief Car­
ibbean port, and, the centre of its
banana trade, lies but about 900
miles from our southern coast and
is connected by steamship lines with
New Orleans, Mobile and New
York, and sends to us most of the
12 to 14 million bunche? of bananas
which Honduras ships to the United
States every year. Tegucigalpa, the
capital, situated in the western sec­
tion of the republic, is within about
100 miles of Amalpa, the chief
Pacific port of the republic.
These conditions of our com­
mercial relations with Honduras,
adds the Trade Record, are typical
of the trade with all Central Amer­
ica, with which our commerce has
totaled a billion dollars since 1910.
'All of the six Central American
republics, with an aggregate area
less than tfigt or the state of Texas
and an aggregate population less
than that of the state of Illinois, I
show a growing disposition to rely
on the United States for the mer­
chandise which they import and as j
a market for their exports, especi- :
ally since the war which interrupted }
in considerable degree their trading I
relations with Europe. Prior to
the war, in 1908 for example, they
took but 45% of their imports from
the United States while in the latest ,
year for which their official re­
ports are available they were taking
over 70% of their imports from us. |
Honduras, as already shown, takes '
84% of her imports from the United
States, Nicaragua advanced the
share of her imports from us from
56% in 1913 to 73% in the latest
available year, Panama from 55% i|
to 73%, Salvador from 40% to 62%,
Guatemala from 50% to 60%, and
Costa Rica from 51% in 1913 to
62% in 1922.
Much of this increase in our trade '
with Central America is due to the
investment of United States capital
in rhat area, for it is chiefly through
American investments that the big
banana industry along the Caribbean
coast has been developed, through
the construction of railways, proper j
housing facilities for those engaged
and direct connection with the great
markets of the world. Our own im-
ports of bananas, drawn chiefly from
Central America have grown from
about $5,000,000 value in 1900 to
nearly $20,000,000 in 1923.
