mobiles have come from Europc, as
many as 1900 having been imported
from France shortly before the war
began. They are now selling many
cars of u cheap make we'll known in
America. and the demand for these is
on the increase. There is good taxi
cab service here, but the taNis arc

good business, and will take you
trips of more than mile for so cents
each. Argentina is improving its roads,
and Bucuos Aires has plans for new
streets that will require s20o.Oo0,000
before they are carried out. This will
include an immense amount of paving
materials and especially wood paving
blocks. Many of the best streets are
Of such blocks laid in cement.
Argentina is a rich field for plant
ing American dollars. The British.
Germans, French, Spaniards and Ital-
ians have long known this and they
have their money invested here at the
capital and throughout the republic.
The British lead. They are said to own
about two thousand million dollars
worth of property of one kind or other
in Argentina, and they have more than
1.00O. 100000 invested in the railways.
They have taken the bulk of the pri-
vate loans of this country, and it jars
them to see some of the public loans
going to the United States. Argentina
is rich in resources, but she has to
have money from the outside. She Is
in about the same shape as we were
thirty or forty years ago. and she
needs millions for public works of all
kinds. Among the big things now un-
der way are the plans for paving:
Buenos Aires and the Improvement OF
the harbor and docks and other port
contracts. The city is now putting in
subways. 1t has already one of the
best in the world, and it is construct
ing another of length of over slS
miles. The plans for the latter were
There is much land improvement going
on and there are irrigation and pump
ing schemes which Will require a great
deal of capital. In the valley of the
Rio Negro is an irrigation scheme ina,
will redeem 100000 acres of desert. and
+here are other schemes for dyklns
and draining the lowlands along the
Parana river that require the eXpendi-
ture of millions.
Just now times are hard in Argen-
tina. At the time the war began the
country was suffering from a f1nancla1
stringency, and there had been failure
after failure. amounting to millions
There was practically nothing dong al
the stock exchange, and every one was
complaining. The war made things
worse, and thousands of men are no"
unemployed. There are 10000 out OF
work in this city alone. and similar
conditions obtain in Rosario and III
other places The government is dong
what il can to give the unemployed
work on the streets and roads, ahd
subscriptions are being made to az
employment fund to help the poor Al
the same time food prices are rising
and meat has increased 90 per cent.
And this brings me to the cost OF
doing business here in Argentina. Thu:
is not a cheap mans country. and ne
one with only few hundred dollars
should come here expecting to real
many thousands. In fact. ones expense
account is higher in Argentina thar
in the United States, and the better

1000 windmills, 81 tons of sheep shears
and 10 tons CT saws.
The Argentinos are musical peo-
ple and they are fond of amuSements
They buy about $4,000 phon ographs and
graphophones every year. 1000 pairs
of opera gla .seS and thirty or forty
thousand dollars worth OF guitar ana
banjo strings. IN 1918 they brought in
over 100000 ordinary watches and
Il 900 timepieces of gold. During the
same year they purchased about 2.oOo.-
600 fans 100000 mirrors, 500 wagon
loads of buttons. 100000 eyeglasses and
$4,000 dozen watch crystals. They
bought 10I tons of combs. 1900 pounds
of hat feathers. and toys to the amount
of almost s1.000.O00.
The above shows something of the
variety of goods that Argentina de-
sfes She wants everything under the
sun, and so far she has been getting
her goods from all parts of the world,
although the bulk has been coming
from Europe. In 1912 she bought five
times as much from that continent as
from us and still she is our chief South
American customer.
The countries now at war have
furnished the greatest proportion or
the goods sent from Europe. and they
have also been taking the most OF the
Argentine exports. Great Britain con-
sumes every year something like $780,
100000 worth of Argentine products,
Germany about s5o,oOO.ooo worth and
Belgium s35.OOO,000 worth or more. AS
to the goods now coming into the coun-
try, those from Great Britain are of
their usual volume, but those of France
and Belgium have greatly decreased.
and the imports from Germany have
practically stopped.
In order to show the openings which
come from the Germans, | give you
some of the articles that Germany sent
here in the year of 1872. They include
1.sOo typewriters. 1000 bicycles and
10000 sewing machines. They embrace
manufactures of iron and steel from
bars, sheets and rails to cutlery,
needles and nails Among them were
$1,000 dozen pcnknives, $4,000 pairs of

chasing power far greater than that Of
Norway. Germany or France. and ten
times that of Turkey or Japan It's
per capita wealth is eighty times that
and sells more goods than any country
on this hemisphere outside the United
States. Its foreign commerce is ahead
of that of China or Japan. and eleventh
among all the countries of the world.
1t already amounts to about billion
dollars per annum. and when good
times come again it will increase by
leaps and bounds. Ruenos Aires is
now the eighth por: of the world in
the amount of its business. 1t stands
ahead of Bremen. Calcutta. Bombay.
Singapore and Sidney. and is surpassed
only by New York. London. Hamburg.
Liverpool. Antwerp, Marsellie and
Havre.
From this you will see that the coun-
try is alive and up to date. | have
before me some of the purchases made
in 1913. In that year Argentina bought
foreign goods to the amount of over
s400. 900 900. and the bulk of this money
went over 10 Europe. Here are few
of the items.
Let us first take tho railroads. The
capital invested in them amounts to
more than S1.0o0,00 900. The passen-
gers number about S0.0o0,o00 a year,
and the freight carried is close to 40.-
900 900 tons. In 1913 the importations
included 1000 new cars. and other rail-
way material amounting to millions.
At the same time the country bought
20.0o0 carriages, 5000 automobiles and
5000 bicycles.
have referred to the S0.t00.0no acres
of land in cultivation. The implements
for planting and harvesting them all
come from foreign countries. In 1918
Argentina bought 10000 plows, $4,000
drills aud more than 1000 threshing
machines. 1t bought $50 mowers. LOO
bIrrows and 10000 respcrS and binders.
Among the smaller items were 11.000
rakcs. 500 tons of pitchforks and 1000
tons of spades and shovclS, picks and
hoes.

orally Nat. and the streams are slus-
gish Hence there is but little water
power. The most Of the coal comes
from England, which is 1000 or 5000
miles away, or from Australia. which
is farther. Hence, most manufactured
articles are imported. In 1913 the
country spent tens of millions for man
ufactures of steel. 1t bought 1900
bathtubs. ! 900 pounds OF sewing ma

flies and 80 tons of wrenches. Its new
typewriters were over 5000; revolvers,

scissors and 500 automobiles. Germany
has been sending all sorts of textiles,
and she has sold most of the chemicals
and drugs. In 1912 she furnished 5000
bathtubs, 1000 pianos and 1000 leath-
er pocketbooks
During the same year France sent
goods to the amount of s36,000,000, in
cluding 1900 automobiles, $4,000 dozen
ladies' hats. and more than 100000
pounds of buttons The Argentine i'm
ports from Belgium We're made up of
iron and steel, glass and cement, and
of textiles and miscellaneous articles.
And now let us look al the sales made
by the United States. In the year that
the above imports came from Europe
sent out South American goods TO
the amount of Sl32 100000, and of that
about half went to Argentina. This
country was our best South American
customer 1t took twice as much of
our goods Chile, and more than
Brazil Colombia. Peru and Venezuela
combined. 1t bought about $9,000,000
worth of agricultural implements,
more than $7.O00,000 worth of railway
cars SI3,OO00O0 worth of oil, and more
than Ss.oOO.OoO worth of our iron and
steel. Its purchases of leather manu-
factures, including shoes. brought
i'll about s5,000.000 and in addition we
sold il something like s15,000.000 worth
of wood. Much of this was lumber,
and that, Notwithstanding there are
forests of soft wood in the Chaco,
north of Tucuman- The transportation
native lumber brought to Buenos Aires
sells for 80 cents foot. and it is
cheaper to buy North American pine.
In addition to these purchases, the
Argentine took many other American
goods. ! our machinery and ma
chine tools in all the big cities. AS
I rode across the Pampas l saw the
thrashers. and away down in Patagonia
Chicago windmills are scattered over
the desert. The Argentine bought
$4,000 barrels of apples of us last year,
and it is adding to it's purchases of
cement and cash registers, well as
wagons and carts and automobiles The
people are friendly to us. They have
recently erected a statue of George
Washington in the principal park of
the capital. They like our manufac-
lures. and there is no reason why we
should not compete with other nations
in almost any branch of foreign trade
one of the great openings of the
present is for coal. Since the fighting
i'll Europe began, the prices of fuel
here have been as high as S14 a ton,
and there has been such a coal scarcity
that some Of the factories and mills
have stopped running and the rail-
roads have reduced their passenger
service. In 1913 Argentina imported
about 100000 tons of COAL of which
about one-fortieth came from our
country. The most of the balance came
from Great Britain. The coal used
here is bitumnous, and it is no better
than the Pocahontas and other kinds
of United States coal. Soft coal is now
bringing about $40 a ton as Rio de
Janeiro. 1t could be brought from
Newport News so as to be sold for
much less and now is the time to
make the introduction.
There is big opening here for
motor crs and all sorts of vehicles. So

In 1888 the live stock was valued at
$3.50. .000, ,000- Thirteen years later il
was worth $6J0.000,0 900. and with the
increa s.d demand of the war in Eu-
rope it is now worth close to one bill

spoon-feeding John Bull. and within
the past year or 50 she has begun to

its possibilities in our foreign trade.

"One hundred thousand cases Of

eggs are directly In competition with
the eggs produced by the California
hen.
These eggs from China are 30 days
in transit from Shanghai to the Coast.
Nov, in fairness to the California
chicken farmer I simply ask in this
bill that imported eggs be stamped
with the word Imported, so they can
not masquerade in the markets Of the
state as domestic product.
Eggs sell in China for 5. s or
