Mr.. ROOTS VISIT TO RIO.
South american Diplomats E@pect
Great Benefits from It.

Washington, Dec diplomatic representa-
tives of Central and South American countries
here manfesting great interest in the pos
slble visit of Secretary Root to South America
next summer, to which place he has announced
his intention OF going if the coming Pan-Ameri-
can Congress is held at Rio Janeiro and the
condition of public business will permit his alb
sence from Washington.
Argentina would derive great benefits from a
visit by Mr.. Root, and the people of that re-
public will extend warm welcome to him. ac-
cordfng TO Senior Portela, the Minister from
that country.
'NIr. Root is well known in my country" said
Sefor Portela to-day. He could much for
himself in a comparatively short visit to Ar
gentina to warrant his interest being dihused
among the people of the United States To-day,
when American capital is looking for foreign
fields investors need the sound opinion of such
a man as your Secretary Of State, which would
be an unprejudiced opinion OF the actual state
of affairs there"
"As a result then" it was suggested to the
Minister, Commercial relations between Ar
gentina and the United States would become
much closer?
Undoubtedly" he replied although they are
very cordial to- day. in so far conditions are
concerned BY this mean that the problem OF
transportation is to be solved For instance.
ther3 IS not a single line OF steamships plying
to-day between New-Yor and Buenos Ayres
which could be dignifed with the title of steam
ship transportation. The ships to-day running
between these ports are the old style ones, I'M
comfortable without much space either for
passengers or commercial shipments, and run
irregularly, sometimes every fifteen days, and
then every month The passage is made occa-
sionally in from twenty two to twenty-five days,
but it is safer to count on thirty days. This is
where transportation becomes a problem. Very
often we have to go from Buenos Ayres to Eu-
rope and thence to New York to reach America
on time The mails follow that route. There,
then is q pointer to capitalists. Why not start
a line of ships between the two countries to be
run with certain regularity, and thus derive all
the benefits accruing to European companies?
posed-that of giving bonus of $4,000 monthly
to any such company. I have not heard of the
proposition but the results attained would be
worth it 1 know, however that my government
allows a subsidy to the companies whose ships
cross the Atlantic from Buenos AyTes TO Europe
in the least practicable time"
rs transportation alone the only drawback to
trade 2" the Minister asked.
No" Senior Portela replied. Communication
could be improved, but there is actual need OF
American banks. Italy has four, Germany, three;
France, three, and England several in the CAPT
tai besides agencies belonging to these countries
Wherever there exists limited circulation of for
eign money there results q certain loss in the
amount of commercial transactions with the
country which is not financially represented
