Rice said that the tariff benefited nobody and
that the hide question between Argentina and
the United States offered good chance to try
reciprocity. President Search interrupted Mr..
Rice telling him to confne himself to reciprocity
and not TO drift into the tariff question, to
which the latter retorted that he did not think
any could talk reciprocity without talking
tariff. This reply brought out general laugh
ter.
