DR.. Leo S Rowe, secretary general

Every member of each delegation
will return to his country with definite

Of the financiers and investing public

Argentina banker and commercial ex-
pert, who Joined the n-American
party In Philadelphia today for a few
hours.
1.-The whole country is talking trans
portation, the newspapers are printing
articles and editorials on the subject.
and unless tho United States takes
some big step toward swinging the
steamship problem the right way the
country will never get the benefit Of
the South American trade.
Either there must be government
owned steamship line or there must be
subsidies for ships. Either the repub-
iicans must yield on the ship owner
ship plan or the democrats must make
some concessions toward subvention.
England Deeply Interested.
England. for instance, is not going TO
let its s4oo, o,ooo 900 investments die In tho
Ar9entine II the United States doesn't
want to take a radical step on the steam
ship matter then some European country
VIII step in and take further advantage Of
the situation Argentina has ships enough
coming from Europe, and can sell and
use all the commodities she produces.
If the United States wants to capture
that trade, she must do something TO-
ward the big steamship combine.
And. as said in the beginning, the
time was never more favorable for
big steamship combination In which all
the nations join than at present

Peters of the Treasury Department on

afternoon at ! o'clock for Pittsburgh,

Philadelphia in a manner hard to excel
in any other city of this country.

government new flag. and to make
the presentation in the very room that
Eliza beth Ross-Miss Betsy Ross, II

Philadelphias idea Of the proper flag
for great international emblem
which may some day fly over ships of
the western hemisphere should these
ships ever be consolidated into one
line or group of pan-American lines.
The occasion was a quarter of an
hour loaded down with the sacred dust
of the history of the United States.
The representatives of thirteen South
American republics had just come to
Betsy Ross quaint old Arch street
house from Independence Hall. where
they sat for a while under the por-
traits of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence of those thirteen
North American colonies who had
signed the Declaration Of Independence

They had been shot by automobiles
through the streets Of new Philadel-

that older Philadelphia of the cooked
