TRADE WITH LATIN AMERICA 223 dredging of harbors and erection of docks, while France, relying upon the admitted and acknowledged fact that all the civilized world looked to her for its fashions, styles, millinery, articles of clothing and dress, toilet goods, and luxuries, very naturally took advantage of ex isting conditions and used this as a foundation on which to erect her trade. Whatever com mercial prestige either Spain or Portugal ac quired in these countries was due almost en tirely to the presence of thousands of citizens of these nations, who created a demand for ar ticles of home production, and this is rela tively small. In this simple but thorough manner was the trail to business success in this field blazed. The experiences of our predecessors, and the lessons they learned should stand us in good stead in our efforts and help to direct our feet from all possible pitfalls. In fact we should, by following and improving on their attempts, if this be possible, acquire a commercial su premacy in this territory in less than half the time taken by the Europeans.
