Rep1blica de este mismo nombre, aca-
parando casi todo el trafco comercial,
no solo argentine sino de los demas
pa1ses
Dicho esta con este que Ell comerclo
de Espaiia con el Paraguay Sc hace
tambien en- la misma forma, mandando
las mercanc1as al puerto argentine de
Rosario de Santa Fe, Que es de .donde
parten los vapores fuviales para la
Assumption. Salen, pues, de aqul, las
mercanc1as que Sc env1an al Paraguay,
directamente para Rosario y de ALI Sc
reexpiden para SUI ulterior destino.
Pero sc da la anomal1a que toda
nuestra exportacion la Rep1bhca pa
raguaya no aparece como tai, sino que
va englobada con la de la Argentina y
como 81 fuera para ell consume de esta,
|y en- cambio aparece por separado de
la Argentina 10 que importamos. de
|aquella Rep1blica.
Esta anomal1a aparece clara y mani
fiesta en- la estad1stica general de 1913
que venimOs comentandO, en- la cual fl
guran mercader1as importadas del Pa
raguay por valor de 1926 pesetas,
sin que figure nj por valor de una sola
10 que enviamos a la mencionada Re-
p1blica.
Sc dira tai vez por alguno, que 81 no
fgura NADIA exportado al Paraguay es
porque no mandamos ALI mercanc1a de
ninguna especie, pero a nosotros nos
consta de una manera indudable que
este no es cierto; porque sabemos que
ALI hay varias casas espanolas esta-
blecidas, y entire elias algunas catala-
mas muy importantes, que reciben pro
ductos espanoles, y porque casi todos
los amos damos la nota Official que nos
proporcina el seilor Consul del Para
quay en- Barcelona de las mercanc1as
| que salen de aqu1 con aquel destino.
Por este hemos llamado varias veces
la atenci6n del senor Director de Adua-
mas para que yea de corregir esta def
ciencia que nos hace aparecer sin rela-
clones comerciales activas con ell Para
quay cuando no es as1 en- realidad; ha-
bi6ndose dado ell case algunos amos de
no fgurar ell Paraguay entire las nacio-
nes que comercian con Espana, porque
tampoco constaba la Importation de
ALA.
Esto Sc debe, sin duda alguna, a una
costumbre viciosa de nuestras Adua.
