U. S. LOSING OUT
British and French Lead Far
Off in Trade Activity.
In South America the Ameri.
cans Are Far Behind.

i Buenos Aires, Dec 3O.-British and
| French business men are leaving
American traders at the post.
Scrutiny of sailings, unloads and de-
partures in the newspapers is alone
sufficient to convince anyone that the
! Europeans, enabled to get a flying
start by the fact that they are given
| plenty of ships, are gaining an enor-
nous advantage.
1t is reported here that at least a
score of ships loading for South Amer
| lea are idling in United States harbors.
| The fact that there are practically no
sailings from America is unaccounta-
/ BILE to Americans here, who are weary
of reading about speeches by Ameri-
can officials regarding the great trade
| future with South America. Month
after month has passed and there have
| been no ships, and no anything, except
more words.
Taking Back Seat.
| Meanwhile, Americans are taking
! back seat, from which they are watch
| ing their competitors grabbing all the
trade, now rapidly approaching pre-
| war basis.
The mails from Europe are much
| more frequent than those from the
United States. Arrival of mail is al
| most an occasion for celebration by
members of the American colony, who
| are disguised at what they term the
| neglect and Indifference of the home
! government toward them.
| .Virulent German ropaganda is con-
! tinuing despite the armistice. Two
| newspapers are especially scurrilous
| in poisoning the minds of the people
against the United States and the al
| lies. While the United States has no
organ thru which to answer these at
lacks, Great Britain, France and Italy
have. But they are not altruistic, and
| it is a case of each man for himself.
Huns Are Very Busy.
A leading article in one of these
newspapers was headed France I'M

Americans are policing the railways,

| United States is grinding France under
