all ready and waiting to handle the
new business.
Consequently, when the big Amer
lean packing concerns appeared in
the Argentine and began packing
and shipping their products direct
to Europe, they had the call in the
European market. Concerns that
tried to compete with them simply
didn't have a chance. There were
several of these, and for a while
they undertook to carry on a compe-
tition. But the North American
concerns, with vast capital, estab-
lished credit all over the world, the
most modern plants and methods,
made short work of the competition.
In very short time the competi-
tion was found hopeless. The sum-
mary of its outcome to this time is
given by Consul General Keena thus !:
Meat exports from the river Plate
during the first seven months Of the
year, according to figures published in
the Buenos Aires Standard, compare
as follows with the returns for the
corresponding period of 1918: Car
casses Of frozen mutton, l,S96,074 On
crease 87 500: quarters of frozen beer
SS, li4 decrease 2i2, 2,56D: quarters OF
chilled beef. 2.540,Si5 increase 2.602).
The La Plata Cold Storage Company
shipped 1,005, $50 quarters of chilled beef,
an increase Of 3l071S quarters: the La
Blanca Company, 1892 quarters, an
increase OF $50, 760; the British and Ar
gentine Meat Company, 1861, ,023 quarters,
an increase OF 81, 1863; the Smithfield and
Argentine Company, 235, 243 quarters, an
increase of l2S, 4S5; the Sansenina Com
pany, 12S7S9 quarters, an increase Of
2,,l64 and the Frigorifico Central Ar
gentino, 16S.367 quarters an increase Of
IIOoS5; The shipments of chilled beef
by the three companies under direct
control from the United States were
l,70S5G9 quarters, or 67 per cent OF the
total.
What American capital, organiza-
tion, and experience did in absorb
ing the South American meat
market is quite within the possibili-
ties of other American business if it
will go after other business in the
minor American countries. There
never was a time when the oppor-
tunities were so inviting for Ameri-
can capital and enterprise as now.

BANK LOAN TO FRANCE

After all the fuss which was made
in Washington, in the early days of
the war, against loans by American
banks to the belligerent powers of
Europe, it is we'll worth remarking
that New York bankers are just now
making a loan Of ten millions to
France, exactly as they always had
the perfect right to do.
There isn't a particle of difference,
of course, either in essential prin-
ciple or in effect, between selling the
French government anything we
have to sell and lending the French
government money.
No doubt, in this particular in
stance, not penny of the ten mill
lions lent to France will ever 90 to
that country in the shape of money.
1t will remain here as a credit
against which the French will make
purchases of supplies until the credit
is thus used up.
Lending money to the French
government with which to buy
American supplies is precisely the
same thing as selling the French
government those supplies on credit.
In the one case the French govern
ment owes the shippers for them; in
the other case the French govern
ment owes the banks for those sun.

CANADA AND THE CANAL

1t would appear that Canada even
more than the United States is pre-
pairing herself to take advantage of
the opening of the Panama cana.
This is evidenced by the extensive
improvements which Vancouver is
making in her harbor and dock facil-
tiles.
R. E. Mansfield, American consul
general in that city, has reported
that $1,5O0,0O0 is being spent in
widening and deepening the entrance
to the harbor. Another important
work for improvement of the ship
ping facilities of the port is a Do
minion government dock 800 feet
long by 800 feet wide, with concr .te
walls and piers rock filled, which is
being constructed at a cost of ST.
100000 and will be completed about
the middle of next year.
The Canadian Pacific railway has
completed new piers and warehouses
this year at a cost of S750,000 and
the Great Northern railway a new
dock at an expense of over half
million dollars. The Canadian North
ern railway is filling in tide flats
which will redeem 160 acres, to be
used for docks, warehouses, and 9TH
er terminal facilities for handling
the traffic entering the port over the
company's lines.
In addition to these works is the
project of a drydock company to es-
tablish, at a cost of several million
dollars, big drydock and shipbuiA-
ing plant on the north shore of the
harbor; the building of a floating
drydock, partly subsidized by the
Dominion government, at a cost of
$4,000,000; the work on the Fraser
river, costing 100000, which is
already so far completed that the
ship channel is available as far as
Pitt river, twenty miles from the
sea; and large projects, involving ap
expense of about $4,OOOOOO, for har-
Dor improvements at New Westmin-
ster.
These activities and heavy expeD-
ditures in the improvement Of the
principal port of British Columbia
indicate the Importance placed upon
the preparations for handling the
heavy ocean-carrying trade from the
northern Pacific coast ty way of the
canal.
