SOUTH AFRICA and
ARGENTINE PUSH TRADE
World War Has Developed Com.
mercial Intercourse Between
Two Countries.

Buenos Aires. (by mail).-A e inl-
portant commercial intercourse has de-
veloped with the last few months be-
tween he Argentine republic and
South Africa. This is all the more
striking because there was not enough
trade between the two countries a year
to be worth mentioning. When a
direct line Of Japanese steamships was
inaugurated between Yokohama and
Buenos Aires, calling at Cape Town,
h South African government sent a
trade commissioner to Buenos Aires
and within a very shor time he suc-
ceeded. in inaugurating q flow Of bust
ness i'm both directions that is rapidly
assuming large proportions.
h commissioner then returned to
South Africa to continue his work there
and a just come back to Buenos
transactions which, by his initiative,
are now taking place between the two
countries. The volume of business
which these transactions represent at
this stage already exceeds s2,5Oo,s00.
The goods now being exported to
South Africa are such as to have
aroused interest and surprise among
Argentines. For example the South
African union either has imported or is
in the act of importing 1850 tons Of
steel rails and accessories valued at
$1,500,0 900; $4,000 pairs Of shoes valued
at $15,OOO; slaughter by products
such as bone meal, dried blood, ETC.,
valued at $4,000; leather to the value of
more h q $3.50, 600; 10000 casks Of
linseed oil; 10000 cases of canned
meats, valued at 1925, 900; locally man
ufactured chemical products, mattress
wire and between 700 and 500 tons Of
wheat. South Africa also is buying
Argentine hard wood railway ties.
But the trade is not all one way.
Argentina has recently taken from
South Africa hessians to the value Of
$100, 900, ostrich feathers. tea, lucerne
seed. wines brandy and gin, as we'll as
coal in considerable quantities Two car
goes of South African coal have arrived
here within the last few days and more
is on the way. This coa has been
thoroughly tried IN the railways and is
giving entire satisfaction, so that is
probably will form one Of the princi-
pal articles, Of trade between the two
countries in the future. It Is of par
ticular interest to note the growth Of
Argentine industries to an extent that
permits of the export on q compare
lively large scale Of manufactured
goods as boots and shoes, and semi
manufactured goods such as leather.
The market for Argentine shoes and
leather in South Africa appears to be
excellent. Already Argentine repre-
sentatives of these industries have vis-
tied or are visiting South Africa on be-
half of their factories, with s%atisfactory
results"

In England, the government from the

the fighting forces are limited only by he
sources of possible supply. In framing
their financial program they have never
lost sight of that factor. They ave levied

Gripping Its industries and making 1t

levies each year., but they have been

In the first year of the war, Great
Britain increased taxes only slightly. The
main factor was to keep business going
at full speed. In the second year about
. per cent of Britain's waS expenditures
year IL per cent came from tAxes, and
about is per cent in the fourth year. In
presenting its budget for this. tho 9th
year, h British treasury proposes to
raise about II per cent Of the war ex-
penditurAs from taxes. Notwithstanding
the fact that the government in England
mas ~recogni1eG the necessity OF keeping
enterprise and industry going at fun
speed. and has applied the pressure Of
Wal taxation gradually, the chancellor Of

careful attention to the winding up of
businesses that, owing to the pressure of
taxes. had been forced to haul In their
horns And there ix little business being
done IN England today that isn't "essen-
