IHE AMERICUS DAILY lIMtS-KECORDEK
IMUGE LUXURY
FOB HIGH IN PARTS
OF LIJWUFBIM
PANAMA, Feb. 16. —Marriage is a
i luxury for the rich in many parts of
; Latin-America, according to the re
-1 port of the Commission on the Church
'in the Field presented today to the
Congress on Religious Work in Latin-
America, which is in session here.
Peru, in particular, and is sister Re
publics on the west coast of South Am
erica. are mentioned as countries
where the rate of illegitimacy is ap
pallingly high and the marriage ties
but little regarded by the masses of the
people.
“The marriage institution,” says the
report, “appears to be w.eaker on the
i
I west ccast of South America than in .
any other Christian land, in the Mus
sulman countries or in the societies of
India, Japan and China.”
The Peruvian statiscian Fuentes is
quoted as saying in respect to Lima
“A shocking proportion of the people
avoid marriage and live in a complete
libertinagie, which increases as one de
scends in the social scale.”
One missionary reported to the Com
mission that in Peru “marriage is con -
sidered a luxury for the rich. Even
civil marriage is costly. The poor
regard each as unobtainable.”
An American long resident in Bol
ivia reports that marriage is very rare
■among the lower classes of the popu
lation and that social standards are
non-existing. He also says that in
Colombia and Ecuador the high cost of
church marriages, eight dollars being
the minimum fee, has added greatly to
the prevalence of immorality. Most of
the peons earn but a few cents a day
and eight dollars is a sum far beyond
their reach.
The Commission draws a gloomy
picture of moral conditions in egn.eral
tn Latin-America. “There is little pop
ular support,” it says, “in dealing with
normal issues and reforms. Every
thing is excused on the plea of temper
ament, or custom. Th,e
masses know nothing of an inflexible
and independent moral standard.”
In concluding its review the Com
mission urges the missionary churches
to greater efforts in the Latin-Ameri
cacn field in view of its enormous ex
tent and the crying need of sustained es
fort to reach the great masses of the
people who are stll but little removed
from barbarism.

AMSERIGAN MILK
THRIVES IN EUROPE
WASHINGTON, D. -G., Feb. 16.
American condensed milk is enjoing
a vogue in Europe that it never kne-v
in peaceful times. The exports from
this country in 1915 amounted to 76,-
000,000 pounds valued at $6,000,000, ac
cording to figures furnished by the bu
reau of foreign and domestic commerce
and the bulk of these exports went to
Europe. In normal times the value
of condensed milk sold abroad varies
between $1,000,000 and $2,000, and or
dinarily the best customers are Cuba,
Panama, China and Mexico.
The increased exports of condensed
milk to Europe are .easy to explain,
under the circumstances, but there has
been an increase in imports from Euro
pean countries that is puzzling. Italy’s
recent participation in the American
trade has caused some comment, but
the fact that Holland and Switzerland
sold much larger quantities of milk in
the United States in 1915 than ever
before is considered more remarkable,
for these two countries have access to
practically all markets in Europe. The
total imports into the United States
i
from all countries in 1915 were valued i
at practically $2,000,000, one one-third ,
of the exports, and although Canada |
fernished more than half, Holland did
a business approximating SBOO,OOO, as
against less than $300,000 the year
previous. Switzerland now is selling
to us at the rate of $350,000 a year,
where formerly practically no milk
came from that country.
