354 SELLING LATIN AMERICA i Brazil is the second largest diamond pro ducing country in the world. English com panies have $50,000,000 invested in these mines, which means that the diamonds ob tained therefrom pass through the hands of several Europeans before they ultimately reach the wearer in the United States. One State of Brazil—Minas Geraes—has for the past six years been exporting gold to Europe, sometimes as much as $2,000,000 a month, be cause Germans, Belgians and Englishmen own the mines. Chile contains the largest known deposits of “caliche”—that is, the earthy material from which nitrate is made. This article is exten sively used in the arts, in the production of gunpowder and other high explosives and also as a fertilizer. Last year she exported 50,781,- 241 quintals, the world’s total consumption for the same period of time being 51,296,489 quintals. I know of but one American house established in these fields. The business is controlled almost entirely by English and Ger man companies.
