Argentina and United States.

minds Of the American people that
there is a rich and powerful nation to

among the foremost powers OF the
world-of whose trade we are by our

Minister to Argentina and present Min
lister to Panama, at the New Willard.
"One of the easiest and most potent
Influences to bring about closer ties
of friendship and better commercial
relations with Argentina is the estab-
lishment Of a line of swift mail and
passenger steamships between New
York and BeunOs Ayres. or the So64,'

with the outside world last year. the

the extent of only $2i,000,00O, whereas
we ought to sell to her and buy of hes

combined. To-day business man Ill
Bucnos Ayres can write to London ard
get an answer back in ifty days. If
the same letter had gone to New York
it would take ninety days for reply.
There are seven lines Of swift-going
steamships plying between the Argen-
tine capital and various ports OF
Europe, but all the vessels that come to
us from the United States are slow
freighters, unfit for the conveyance OF
passengers. If we had these passenger
boats at this time, hundreds of wealthy
citizens Of the big southern republic
would come to see the st. Louis Expo
