prosperity it will have; and without
this it will not have prosperity though
every ship which enters its harbors

Retaliatory legislation with refer
ence to our tariff is not being heard
from, despite the dismal predictions
of last June and July. The only place
where it is suggested is in Argentine,
and a study Of the commercial rela-

States shows that there is little pro-
liability that any action will be taken
which would disturb the business re-
latiOns of the two countries in view
of the fact that we buy more from
Argentine than she buys from us.
